Another thing slightly counter intuitive with conceal feature and help pages: - I open a help page with :help Help window has conceallevel=2 - I split the help window with :split - I now have 2 help windows: one with conceallevel=2 the other one with conceallevel=0 Wouldn't it better if both help windows had conceallevel=2 ? -- Dominique -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
