I use this configuration with GVim (sometimes I’m forced to use Windows). It makes the GVim behave and look better.

Vim is a powerful text editor. All powerful text editors support some kind of macro’s. Here’s how vim does it.

   1  qa - start recording a macro into register 'a'
   2  q - stop recording

Running the macro.

   1  @a - run the macro in register 'a'
   2  @@ - repeat the last macro that was run
   3  10@a - run the macro in register 'a' ten times
