I want to use macros that jumping across files with telescope, so, macros may look like that one:
ve gsUKTran^M
That
ve
- select the whole word gs
- start telescope search grep stringUKTRan
- name of translation file^M
- jump to the fileso that macros allows me to jump to required file by the key over cursor
but that macros doesn't work, because I need to add delays as telescope is fast, but macros is faster, I need smth like small timeout after UKTran
If I know is that possible, I think, I can modify macros row and save to register.
I have not found how to make a timeout, but instead I have utilized vim marks for that. I have added big letter marks (mA
, mB
) in files I need to jump and instead of using telescope, created a macros with marks, the final result for my case
mZve"ay'A/<Ctrl-R>ave"ryf"vi""ty'BGo<Enter>"rpo* <Esc>"tpo* <Esc>
Explanation:
mZ
- put a mark at current place, so I can jump here laterve"ay
- yank the word into register 'a' (assumption cursor on the start of the word)'A
- jump to mark A
, in my case it was a file with english translations/<Ctrl-R>a
- <Ctrl-R>a
is a search for the text in register a
, so I am jumping to the phrase with the key yanked earlierve"ry
- yank current key register r
f"vi""ty
- yank translation value to register t
'B
- jump to second file, where I need output translationsGo<Enter><Esc>"rpo* <Esc>"tpo* <Esc>
- create output record from register r
and t
PS. I have used here <Ctrl-R>
, <Enter>
, <Esc>
, which are special characters, you can't copy them into register and replay
