Save your macros to an easily mappable format for future use in Neovim!
Q: Why use Macroni at all when you can just yank directly from your register?
A: Because then you have to deal with escaping termcodes, quotes, etc. yourself. Macroni escapes all that stuff for you, so you can paste directly to a mapping or function!
Note: Telescope picker coming soon!
Simply run :YankMacro [register] to yank a recorded macro from a register, then paste the macro directly into a custom mapping or function in your config 🤌
For example, say we record a short macro to the q register to make a todo list item on the current line. We can then run :YankMacro q, and paste into a mapping like so:
vim.keymap.set('n', '<Leader>t', '^i-<Space>[<Space>]<Space><Esc>', { remap = true })Note: It is recommended that you set the remap = true option, to ensure that your macro is run more accurately as if you had manually run it yourself!
You can also use macroni's run() helper to execute the macro from within a function:
local make_todo_list_item = function ()
require('macroni').run('^i-<Space>[<Space>]<Space><Esc>')
end
vim.keymap.set('n', '<Leader>t', make_todo_list_item, { remap = true })
