Thanks a lot for the prompt responses.
I have tried to first choice (visually select the lines and type
":normal". Works perfectly. Really easy.
I also added a visual mapping, which I didn't know they exist (pure
ignorance). Also very easy.
I am going now to investigate about the operator-pending mappings...

Once again, thanks a lot.
Cheers,
Jose

Yeah, and for extra bonus points: construct a function with a "range"
qualifier (see :help :function and :help E124) and/or a user-command
with a -range attribute, probably defaulting to current line (see
:help :command and :help :command-range) and update your mapping to
invoke them. If you define both in a single script (e.g. in your vimrc
or in an ftplugin), it is possible to define a public (i.e.
user-facing) command which calls a private (i.e. script-local)
function.

Best regards,
Tony.

Easy way (no extra effort): visually select the lines you want, and type 
":normal " and then your mapping. You should see ":'<,'>normal ". Press enter 
to run the command on every line.

Harder way would be to create a visual mode mapping that somehow invokes the 
behavior you want on each line. Then for bonus points consider an 
operator-pending mapping.

how to apply a given map, written for a line, to a block of lines?

2017-10-20 Thread Jose Caballero 
Hi,

I would only need to know which key words I need to search in google... :)
I have a few remaps (and iremaps) that modify the current line. For
example, to add # at the beginning, and stuff like that.
I would like to know how to re-use those mappings for a block of
lines, not line by line.
I am wondering if there is a way, for example, to apply it to a
visually select block, or similar.

Any clue, or link, where I can educate myself on this topic, would be
appreciated.
As I said, at this point, I don't even know which key to search with :help

Thanks a lot in advance.
Jose
