Hi Tim,
thank you very much for your reply.
If it is not too much effort to you I would like to know these "bad
hacks" -- just to learn a little more about "hacking vim" and not
necessaryly (ough, this world looks also very "hackish"...german
English....) to make them the base of all my later VIMy programming.
Generally I think one can learn a lot about using technique in
ways, no one else has thought about before..... ;O)
Thanks a lot for your help, Tim ! :)))
Keep hacking! (YES!)
