I can reproduce this with my Norwegian keyboard layout (and many other European ones), but I get the correct behaviour with a US keyboard layout. So this has to do with the caret key acting differently with different keyboard layouts. On many European keyboard layouts, it's main role is as a diacritical mark, so after typing it, the character is actually highlighted until the next character is typed.

If you define you'r own mappings with carets, they will have the same problems (I tried ":imap ^^ hello"). I will file a MacVim bug on this, but I guess macros with the caret key are generally troublesome with these kinds of keyboard layouts.


When I finally filed a bug on this issue a few days ago, the brilliant MacVim developer provided me with a fix to this issue shortly after! In Terminal, type

defaults write org.vim.MacVim MMUseInlineIm 0

Then restart MacVim and it should work.
