I'd like to map 0 to whatever number of matches I currently have. For example:
This here has 5 matches. If I wanted to perform a macro on every instance, i'd like to be able to simply type:
0Q (Q is remapped as execute macro.)
which would be interpreted as:
5Q
Is this possible? Thanks.
You can use the global command to search for the pattern and then execute a command on the available pattern as such
:global/pattern/command
which could be modified in your case as:
:global/pattern/normal @Q
where pattern is the word on which you will run the macro and @Q is the macro register.
:global//normal @Q if you wanted to use the last search.
