3) It is in the todo list: - Add COLUMN NUMBERS to ":" commands ":line1,line2[col1,col2]cmd". Block can be selected with CTRL-V. Allow '$' (end of line) for col2. 7 CTRL-V :s should substitute only in the block, not to whole lines. (David Young is working on this) 7 Filtering a block should only apply to the block, not to the whole lines. When the number of lines is increased, add lines. When decreased, pad with spaces or delete? Use ":`<,`>" on the command line. 6 ":left" and ":right" should work in Visual block mode. 7 Substitute in a block of text. Use {line}.{column} notation in an Ex range, e.g.: ":1.3,$.5s" means to substitute from line 1 column 3 to the last line column 5. 8 Add put command that replaces the text under it. Esp. for blockwise Visual mode. This will be a useful feature to add compared to the support for parallel editing of the same file. - Yegappan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
