Things to remember

1. vim records all the keystrokes untill you are out of insert mode to normal mode. Micro macro, “.” operator, will repeat this action: powerful stuff. If edits are composed around this, the actions can be repeat with “.” and undone with “u”.
2. Paste happens after the cursor.

Macro

qao<ESC>q
# then
@a # to run the macro

To apply macro to multiple lines use V(visual mode) to select lines and then @ followed by macro register.
