I don't think there is much sense in having line-move-visual mode active when recording/replaying keyboard macros. Tying the operation of keyboard macros to the current display/font selection is just meaningless. Its purpose is for _aiming_ positioning by keyboard, and that's just not useful at keyboard replay. -- David Kastrup
