Instructions: To enter a macro, type:

q<letter><commands>q

To execute the macro <number> times (once by default), type:

<number>@<letter>

Example: So, the complete process looks like:

qd	start recording to register d
...	your complex series of commands
q	stop recording

Then, for re-executing the macro :

@d	execute your macro
@@	execute your macro again
