Pros & Cons
Pros
Displays recording, playback, and delay status directly in the status line, providing real-time user feedback as shown in the Status Line section.
Enables browsing, searching, and managing macros through a Telescope extension, making macro organization efficient and accessible.
Configurable delay timer ensures proper macro execution over large counts, preventing timing issues during repetitive tasks.
Allows editing macros in an interactive buffer and previewing them while cycling, reducing errors before execution.
Emits User autocmd events for integration with event-driven status lines like heirline, offering flexibility for custom setups.
Cons
Requires sqlite.lua, adding a database layer that might be unnecessary and increase setup complexity for some users.
Default keymaps such as 'q' for toggle_record can conflict with standard Vim commands, necessitating manual configuration.
