Oh it's so simple you'll kick yourself. If you save the macro to the q register, just paste from the q register and it'll print out the corresponding inputs. Copy the inputs into the w register and now you have that macro saved in a second place.
Some people probably do save macros in their vimrc this way, but I use it to correct typos I made when recording the macro. BIG help.

- bccdee 2mo agoExactly. Modifier sequences and escape presses show up as special characters and can be inserted with `C-v Esc` or whathaveyou. It works seamlessly.
