  • Keybindings: q record/stop, Q play, <C-q> switch slots, cq edit, yq yank, dq delete
  • Performance mode for macros >100 operations
  • Breakpoint support via ##

• Lualine integration (lua/plugins/lualine.lua)

  • Recording status and active slot display in lualine_x
  • Orange highlight for visibility

  • Feature comparison with alternatives
  • Usage guide and migration notes

this is absolutely not what i wanted. i want a way to save my macros and carry them over to other projects. i want them to be searchable and easier to remember, which macro was saved to what key etc.
