Re: Why bottom-posting is prefered on Vim Mainling List?

trimming would most naturally begin, rather than to facilitate top-posting. Perhaps it's the default "deletion point" instead of the default "insertion point" :-) Michael Henry

Re: Why bottom-posting is prefered on Vim Mainling List?

wants to talk futher about it. Thanks. I continue to be impressed by the Vim mailing list. Contributors are helpful, willing to spend time answering in detail, and above all very polite. This is one of the nicest "top- versus bottom-posting" discussions I've seen on a mailing list :-) Michael Henry [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcasm

Re: undo & replace in multiple files

es past the save (which generally pleases me greatly, but is unfortunate in this case :-)). I searched for "replace undo" in Vim's plugins and tips, but came up empty. Does anyone have a pointer to a plugin or other resource to allow blind undoing of multi-file replace operations? Thanks, Michael Henry

Minor fix for Vim Tip #1078 (Closing buffer without closing window)

Re: Mapping to and doesn't work

e GUI version of Vim doesn't suffer from this limitation. I have CTRL-S mapped to :update to match the Windows convention of mapping CTRL-S to "Save". Michael Henry

Re: Mapping doesn't work

tu Linux, GUI Vim: the results were identical to console-mode Vim on Ubuntu (including the encoding setting). So my results on Ubuntu match Tony's results on openSUSE. The results are similar on Windows and mac. Michael Henry

Re: Mapping doesn't work

per mapping as well: i * Insert-Command-CR If I press CTRL-V M-CR on the command-line, I get ^M back (CTRL-M, which is plain CR). If I press CTRL-V Command-CR, I get . So on the Mac, it looks like meta-key mapping of CR doesn't work, but command-key mapping does. On all three platforms, using A-Enter instead of M-CR seems to make no discernible difference. Hopefully this multi-platform test information helps track down the problem. Thanks, Michael Henry
