Hi Bakul,
Regarding vi:
As an example, you can map a key to do a sequence of
operations but
you you can’t then use it in conjunction with search to repeat them
over a range of lines.
You can use tail recursion in the macro because a failed search causes
it to stop. So `qqq' to start recording to register `q', and then
instantly stop recording, clearing it. Then the real definition, ending
in an execution of the empty `q'.
qq/4$^Ma2^[@qq
And finally an `@q' to kick off the recursion.
