I already have a patch ready.
It's true that using ";" after a "t" command is currently close to useless. Changing this would be backwards incompatible, but I doubt anyone would notice. I hardly use ";" anyway. Would there be any plugin that breaks? I can't think of a reason why a plugin would rely on ";" not moving. So I tend to think I would include such a patch. -- # echo reboot >universe # chmod +x universe # ./universe /// Bram Moolenaar -- b...@moolenaar.net -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ an exciting new programming language -- http://www.Zimbu.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org /// -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
