when using a macro in vim mode anything recorded while in insert mode is ignored
for example when executing
qa0fdciwhello<esc>q
on the first line of the following text
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
the output of the a register where the macro was recorded is only
0fdciw
ignoring everything after we changed modes.
When trying to execute this macro on the rest of the lines is
Lorem ipsum hello sit amet
Lorem ipsum o sit amet
Lorem ipsum o sit amet
Lorem ipsum o sit amet
Lorem ipsum o sit amet
Lorem ipsum o sit amet
when the expected result would be
Lorem ipsum hello sit amet
Lorem ipsum hello sit amet
Lorem ipsum hello sit amet
Lorem ipsum hello sit amet
Lorem ipsum hello sit amet
Lorem ipsum hello sit amet
while searching to see if this bug was already reported I came across the information that the editor used is Ace, so I tried to the same thing on the demo provided by Ace Ace Kitchen Sink but the issue didn’t persist.
