Hi Georg,
thanks a lot for your reply! :)
Good to know, that there are special commands to just copy a line
completly without the LF.
But why I do need a specialised command ?
Why does
y/$
(despite the settings of the "selection" option)
not work ? Why do I have to leave "/" off and have to use
y$
instead, as Jürgen said ???
And why does
y<any other character>
does not work?
Is this inconsistency needed?
Keep hacking!
