Hi, is there a way to do this more effectively?
I often get in the situation of yanking a word into the buffer, search another word I want to replace with the contents of the buffer, delete the found word and paste the contents of the buffer at the place of the previously found word. Despite the fact, that -- without the yank-ring script -- you have to keep an eye on what is in what buffer, it would be more effective if one could do the following: yw "yank replacement word /word "find word ("word") to be replaced cw "change word under cursor with that in buffer I know, that "cw" is another command, which is "wrong" in this case...I only needed a name for what I want to do and cw keeps track of the length of the replaced word and the replacement. Thank you very much for any helpful hint :) ! Keep editing! mcc -- Please don't send me any Word- or Powerpoint-Attachments unless it's absolutely neccessary. - Send simply Text.
