    Hi everyone,

    I wrote macros for vim that allow me to, after selecting the recipe I want in MealMaster, post a full recipe using four function keys. Now that I am more experienced, I probably could now do it with one function key! :D

    (Edit: I later combined all three macros into one key and use a seperate function key to exit vim so I can proofread before I sent off the message.)

    I'm not lazy. I'm efficient!

    Nice work!

    I know which OS MealMaster runs on. Which OS are you running vim on?
