Out of curiosity, can you drop into edit session during the macro? It is some time since I last used vim, so I do not recall, but in emacs you can record a macro along the lines of "do A, do B, drop to edit session letting user do whatever, do C, do D". Is that possible with vim macros?

I don't think so since you need to leave edit mode to terminate the macro.

Just use —- calculating… —- 2 macros.
