clarified that bracked entries are just used to represent the actual nonprintable characters.
Jun 16, 2017 at 1:14 comment added Ray @L3viathan I could, but it wouldn't make any difference in the count. The actual file contains single bytes for each of those; I just represented the nonprintables in bracket notation here for readability. <C-v> is 0x16; <ESC> is 0x1b, and <NEWLINE> is 0x0d (so perhaps I should have called it <CR> instead). Those are the bytes that are inserted via <C-v><C-v>, <C-v><ESC>, and <C-v><ENTER> respectively. I've clarified that in the answer.
Jun 15, 2017 at 18:26 comment added L3viathan Can't you write <NL> instead of <NEWLINE>?
Jun 14, 2017 at 21:35 comment added Ray @DJMcMayhem Very nice. Thanks.

added TIO link (using V)
Jun 14, 2017 at 21:28 comment added DJMcMayhem I'm glad to know you got it working! Another way you can test vim answers for convenience is Try it online!, which really uses an esolang I wrote, but it's (mostly) backwards compatible anyway. The -v flag lets you use vim key descriptions (like <C-v> and whatnot)

added 21 characters in body
Jun 14, 2017 at 21:08 comment added Ray @DJMcMayhem So it does. For some reason, I thought it would be more difficult to store the <C-v> in a file than it is, so I used the roundabout method so I could test it with { cat foo.vim; echo ':wq'; } | vim out.txt. I'm not sure why it didn't occur to me to try <C-v><C-v> yesterday.

merged macros and :nm
Jun 14, 2017 at 19:27 comment added DJMcMayhem I think it would be faster to not bother making macros 'b' and 'c', and instead remap them directly. :nm N a <C-v><esc> and :nm A a*<C-v><esc>
