Brace yourself... you can still use your q...q command to record them as you go. Then, find a blank line somewhere and "qp and boom - your macro is right there. Tweak it, then highlight it and "qy and now @q will replay your new one.

Blew my mind when I figured out there was nothing special about qq.. it's just putting things into a buffer to replay.
