I can't remember why or when (it was so long ago), but I've always used 's' and 'S' in 'vi'. It never really occured to me to use 'cl' instead. It was just another command in the list.
It was part of the original 'vi', but I'm not sure if you meant that by 'put in to be complete'. It is no more enigmatic then a lot of things in 'vi' which are there just to make editing incrementally better. There's 'C' vs 'c$', 'D', 'G', 'Y', etc., all of which are redundant with combinations of other commands. On 6/30/06, Wim R. Crols <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, Not really a request for help, but I was wondering if you guys ever use the 's' command. It's just a shortcut for 'cl', which I almost never need. Since I don't assume it was put in to be complete or something, I'm intrigued by it's enigmatic purpose. :) Thanks, Wim
