No worries. I wouldn't have even thought this feature in vi existed if it
weren't for your question. I happened to come across this information
that answered your question and added a bit more information to my vi
knowledge. My wife loves it when I speak in vi or regex : ).
To follow on from the earlier "recording" and "playback" session - once
you've recorded some keystrokes and ready to play them back, you would
have to press the "@" key and the letter name of the buffer. You can find
more detailed information at http://www.lklug.pdn.ac.lk/software/vim.php

I've been using vi since 1996, and this is the first time I've come across
this. I'm embarrassed. Anyway, can you tell me
how "q" works?
