Subject: Q records keys into a register and q types them again; . repeats the
 last insert

Macro.zig keeps keys to be typed again. Q records into @ (or "<reg>) in
helix's key notation until the next Q; q replays a register's keys count
times through the modal handling, where Esc does not hop panes and Enter,
Tab and Space neither look, execute nor open the leader. . replays the
normal command that entered the last insert session once and what was typed
in it count times (helix repeat_last_insert). a at the end of the text now
adds the newline helix's append_mode does, which a terminal's text does not.
helix-golf's invert_dictionary passes.
