The Seven Habits Of Effective Text Editing 2
Hi Bram, I just heard about your recent talk at google, entitled "The Seven Habits Of Effective Text Editing 2". ( http://google-code-updates.blogspot.com/2007/02/open-source-developers-google-speaker.html ) The original "seven habits of effective text editing" was fascinating and useful. I am sure that I'm not the only vimmer who would be interested in hearing more about this updated version. However, I can't find any links to either a video or a transcript of this talk. Are you planning to make this available on your website? Is it available elsewhere? --Fraser Hanson __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Perfect! This is so easy to map to my own key combination too.

Select just-pasted text
I really like the "gv" command, which starts visual mode and automatically selects the previous selection, regardless of where the cursor happens to be. I would like to see a similar command that starts visual mode and selects the block of text I have just pasted in. After extensive browsing through the help system and online, I can't find a way to do this. My vim scripting skills are weak, can anyone tell me if this is possible to script a command for? I'm not sure if vim retains information about the boundaries of the most recently pasted text. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
