Vim users, tell me how many times you remember looking down at your status bar and unexpectedly seeing recording in bold green. It's been recording your keystrokes since you-dont-know-when.This has happened to me no less than twenty times by now. I don't know how it is even possible for me to press q so often, and it's somewhat a possibility that some errant plugin bind is resulting in an unterminated macro recording.It occurs to me that the best thing would be if there was somehow a way to bind an escape keystroke that aborts the recording and restores the content of whatever register I happen to be accidentally recording over. But that's really going above and beyond. I'd simply like to know which register it is that I happen to be currently recording over. Maybe I'll go take a peek at it to see how long its been recording for. Or I'll go and clear it out to keep everything nice and tidy. Is this even possible?
Is there any possibility of making Vim UI show which register a macro is currently being recorded to?
macro
You can display the current register in your statusline (vim-airline) with%{v:register}
