@Sakigw: To solvers: I recommend writing down your working solutions in another vim instance and copy-paste it into the vimgolf window. To avoid having to repeat such long key sequences without error.

@TitouanT_: how do you make it work ? when I try do it, it just past the text in the buffer without interpreting it

@Sakigw: Write your solution on a single line. Use <C-V><ESC> where you want to use <ESC>, same for other special keystrokes. Then what I do is visually select the line and yank it to the clipboard registry: 0v$"+y (of course I have a nnoremap for that). More tips by udioica on this kind of workflow: http://udioica.blogspot.com/2014/08/vimgolf-workflow.html

@mihaicristiant: Thanks for the info, was very useful. Still, I'm confused on how you get the keystokes from clipboard to vimgolf. Or you still have to write it by hand?

@Sakigw: Paste it using cmd+v on mac or ctrl+shift+v on linux. You might need to check if it works with your terminal. I used iTerm2 and Alacritty.

@mihaicristiant: Unfortunately, I get the same behavior as @TitouanT_ mentioned. Tested (on OSX) iTerm2, Alacritty, Kitty, Terminal.
