What is Vim recording and how can it be disabled?
vim
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.
Problem
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?
