Execute command from register

Here's a cool command

:nmap <leader>s :smile<CR>

If you read the above in vim, how would you execute it? You can use the system buffer or tmux copy+paste and paste it to the command line, but that seems very not-vim.

Vim has a :@ command that will execute registry contents. Just put the line into your registry with yy and then call:

:@"

This executes the contents of the default register
