Is it ok for you to type 23Vd Doesn't work out of the box, the builtin "V" handles the count differently, but with a little work ... :nn <silent>V :<c-u>exec"norm!V".(v:count>1?v:count-1."j":"")<cr> " or maybe better: :nnoremap <silent> V :<c-u>execute "normal! V". v:count1. "_"<cr> Without your requested Visual hint, it's good to have Visual mode enabled after 23V, for fine tuning the range. -- Andy --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
