Yes, it still seems to work, good. I still wonder about the previously noted behavior that the previous visual selection must have been "operated on" in order for 1v to work. (Whereas the help contradicts this: "If Visual mode is not active and the "v", "V" or CTRL-V is preceded with a count, the size of the *previously highlighted* area is used for a start." So, if I understand this right, your patch allows to select [count] characters / lines, until the visual selection has been operated on once, from then on the existing behavior of 1v takes over, selecting a [count] multiple of the previously operated on selection. It effectively establishes a default selection of a single character / line from Vim start. -- regards, ingo -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
