> This happened to me always by mistake and what happened today was the > worst. Forgetting that I have copied large amount of text into the > clipboard, I tried to paste it at the search prompt using ^R* and this > caused Vim to hang for a very long time and pressing ^C had no effect. > I remember that Vim used to crash when a large amount of text is pasted > this way, but I think that problem is now fixed, though I think a better > behavior is needed, e.g., > - Stop and give error after reaching some limit > - Detect ^C and stop. > > Any comments? linux/unix: killall vim There is a similar command for the windows command-line Cheers -- Erik -- J.
