Given a vi macro, (for ease of explanation, say :map q jl, yes I know its not alot of use but it will help me illustrate the point) if i repeat that macro by pressing the key a number of times, it works as expected. However, if I use the standard repitition factor method, and enter 5q, then the initial command in the macro is done 5 times, followed by the remainder of the macro. Is there anyway of bracketing the macro so that the whole macro can be performed the required number of times ?
