Just found myself in the same annoying situation of having to deal with the haunting “recording” message out of no where.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks a bunch. Jeez, I’ve been bothered by this for so long. Now that I know what it is, it actually seems like something I’ll use. Thanks

Thanks!!
This has been annoying me for quite a while, sometimes I’m way too quick when typing and accidentally end up in the evil “recording” state.

Thank you for the help. Some how went in to recording and then I didn’t know what to do. This helped.

Thanks from a new Vim user
Thanks, I am a new Vim user and I turned on the annoying recording mode accidentally. Not only did you help me to turn it off, I also learned that Vim has another feature I’ve been looking for in a text editor: the ability to record “macros” for frequently repeated actions.

Can these recorded actions be repeated in a seperate files and on seperate occasions, or do they die when Vim is killed?

You have explained the recording feature in very lucid terms.
