What is Vim recording and how can it be disabled?

I keep seeing the recording message at the bottom of my gVim 7.2 window.

What is it and how do I turn it off?

Solution

  • You start recording by q<letter> and you can end it by typing q again.

    Recording is a really useful feature of Vim.

    It records everything you type. You can then replay it simply by typing @<letter>. Record search, movement, replacement...

    One of the best feature of Vim IMHO.
