What would be the best approach to have vim do this for me? I tried setting shiftwidth=2 followed by as visual select of the entire buffer + '<' or '<<' but vim does not do anything. I suspect he is just being nice and refusing to shift the selected block to the left because columns 1-2 contain stuff that is not white space and therefore might be important.. :-) So, is there any command that tells vim to shift left no matter what.. or should I use some regexp-driven substitute command to replace all greater-than characters followed by a space in column one by // (void)? Any idea? Thanks, cga
