Somebody scribbled about [expert] Vim >Holding a character or cursor key down to print a line of characters or >to move through lines or holding down the backspace or delete key to >erase a row of characters results in jumpy performance.
And a hurt keyboard :) Use repeat commands 72i-<ESc> will insert a row of - characters, for instance. If you prefix a number before a command, vi<m> will repeat that command the specified number of times. For instance, 10j will move the cursor down 10 lines. To delete the line you are on, use 'd$' (delete to end of line) rather than hitting the delete or backspace keys a number of times. Still, I wonder if it is a gnome thing. I couldn't repeat that behavior here and I use 9.2 and the same vim you use, but I use kde. >wobo -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
