I tried to convert the first CursorMovedI to CursorHoldI using the below code: aug LookupFileCursorHoldIHACK au! au CursorMovedI <buffer> nested exec 'doautocmd LookupFile CursorHoldI' | au! LookupFileCursorHoldIHACK aug END This also gets ignored :( -- Thanks, Hari __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
