What did you do?

I tried to use '<,'> normal command but it doesn't work.

• record a line macro with qa
• v to other lines
• :'<,'>normal @a

What did you expect to happen?

Apply macro into lines selected

What happened instead?

Nothing

Technical details:

• VSCode Version: 1.7.1
• VsCodeVim Version: 0.4.1
• OS: Mac OS X 10.11.6

Overall the vim emulation is really great! Much better than in Mono, but this feature would be ideal as it is one of my more commonly used ex commands

:10,15 norm @q

:+1:

[djmittens]

is this feature still in development? are there any alternatives i can use to apply a macro to several lines?

[lshtar13]

So... no norm[al] command with macro yet? like :'<,'> norm i#

Getting this error. Command :norm[al] is not yet implemented.

We need this feature.
