I never encountered "<leader>" before; I have just read :h on <Leader> but don't seem to be much wiser :( I've had trouble implemented your suggestion (I _would_ like to preserve "*" for its intended vim usage).

[I tried g and ,g -- didn't really know what else to do] Sorry to be so clueless... Thanks, John Cordes
