The OP could also be interested in the SaveSigns plugin ( http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2992) that lets users save signs.

You're not really working simultaneously on over 26 different
positions in the same buffer, right? What are you actually trying to
accomplish here? Maybe there is a better way.
I think signs (see :help signs) automatically adjust similarly to
marks, and those are not limited, but they serve a slightly different
purpose.

marks are limited, the number of locations i want to track will always
exceed 26, so i had to use getpos(), setpos().

Aren't marks good enough? Mark the line containing "jack", and then use
the mark, or if you want the line number use line("'x"), where "x" is
your mark. Vim will keep track of it better than any hack.
If marks are unknown to you, try ":help bookmark".
Best,
Paul

tracking text
hi, i want to track text in a file. an example file as below. simple jack --- now i want to track the text "jack", so i remember it's position in the file. Now content can be added in the file anywhere, if new content is added to file after "jack" there is no problem, but if it is added before "jack", i've to update the stored position for "jack". so now the question is how do i keep track of how many lines are added, deleted etc, is there any au command to do this. the catch here is i want to update the postion "jack" once the text is entered, not necessarily after doing :w can you guys point me in the right direction to do this. cheers sinbad -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
