copied!<p><strong>Macros</strong></p> <p>What is mostly called a macro in vim is initiated with <kbd>@</kbd> and a letter. It executes the contents of a register with the said letter as its name. </p> <p><strong>List the register contents</strong></p> <p><code>:reg</code></p> <p>You can clear the register a with</p> <p><code>:let @a = ''</code> <hr/> Sometimes mappings or abbreviations are confused for macros, therefore here is some information about them.</p> <p><strong>List mappings</strong></p> <p>all mappings</p> <p><code>:map</code></p> <p>all mappings that start with \</p> <p><code>:map \</code></p> <p>normal mode</p> <p><code>:nmap</code></p> <p>insert mode</p> <p><code>:imap</code></p> <p>visual mode</p> <p><code>:vmap</code></p> <p>command mode</p> <p><code>:cmap</code></p> <p><strong>List abbreviations</strong></p> <p>all abbreviations</p> <p><code>:abbr</code></p> <p>all abbreviations starting with email</p> <p><code>:abbr email</code></p> <p>insert mode</p> <p><code>:iabbr</code></p> <p>command mode</p> <p><code>:cabbr</code></p> <p>You can use <code>:verbose</code> before the previous commands to get more info about where the mapping/abbreviation was last set, as in <code>:verbose nmap</code>. These commands also show all the mappings that have been set by plugins and other configuration files.</p> <p><strong>Removing a mapping/abbreviation</strong> </p> <p>(only a couple of modes listed here, you should be able to remove one just for a certain mode just like with the listing commands above.)</p> <p>insert mode, remove a mapping that is defined as \:</p> <p><code>:iunmap \\</code></p> <p>normal mode:</p> <p><code>:nunmap \\</code></p> <p>remove an abbreviation defined as email:</p> <p><code>:unabbr email</code></p> <p>insert mode:</p> <p><code>:iunabbr email</code></p> <p><strong>Clear mappings/abbreviations</strong></p> <p>I wouldn't recommend clearing all mappings/abbreviations since you would lose everything your plugins have mapped/abbreviated. However, you can clear mappings by putting the letter <kbd>c</kbd> after the above listing command, as in <code>:imapc</code> to clear insert mode mappings. Abbreviations can be cleared with <code>:abclear</code>, or just for insert mode <code>:iabclear</code> and just for command mode <code>:cabclear</code>.</p>
