Vim After 11 Years

I have space mapped to execute the macro in 'q':

  noremap <Space> @q

This lets me set a macro by first wacking qq, then q to finish, and then replay it by wacking space. I find myself using quick throw-away macros that only have a use for maybe 10 seconds far more often with this setup. (Plus wailing on the spacebar to get work done can be really satisfying ;)

This ain't bad but you know you can re-execute last macro with @@? So it ends up being @q and then hold down the @ key to repeat.

Yeah, that's how I use macros that I anticipate remaining useful longer.
