Example

dmacro.mp4

This plugin dynamically defines a macro. You do not need to make any markers for the macro. To define a macro, this plugin detects the reputation as follows:

• If you enter the same key sequence twice (e.g. abcabc), this plugin will define a macro with the key sequence (e.g. abc).

  graph LR
    start(( )) --> a1((a))
    subgraph 1st
    a1 --> b1((b))
    b1 --> c1((c))
    end
    subgraph 2nd
    c1 --> a2((a))
    a2 --> b2((b))
    b2 --> c2((c))
    end
    subgraph 3rd
    c2 --> dmacro(dmacro)
    dmacro -.- a3((a))
    subgraph MacroExecution
    a3 -.- b3((b))
    b3 -.- c3((c))
    end
    end
    c3 --> quit(( ))
  

• If you type the subsequence (e.g. a) of the previous key sequence (e.g. abc), this plugin will define a macro with the rest of the previous sequence (e.g. bc). After expanding the macro, the whole sequence (e.g. abc) will be the macro.

  graph LR
    start(( )) --> a1((a))
    subgraph 1st
    a1 --> b1((b))
    b1 --> c1((c))
    end
    subgraph 2nd
    c1 --> a2((a))
    a2 --> dmacro1(dmacro)
    dmacro1 -.- b2((b))
    subgraph MacroExecution_1
    b2 -.- c2((c))
    end
    end
    subgraph 3rd
    c2 --> dmacro2(dmacro)
    dmacro2 -.- a3((a))
    subgraph MacroExecution_2
    a3 -.- b3((b))
    b3 -.- c3((c))
    end
    end
    c3 --> quit(( ))
  

Usage

Before loading buffers, call the setup() function.

require('dmacro').setup({
    dmacro_key = '<C-t>' --  you need to set the dmacro_key
})
