Christian, Nate, and I have all struggled with the current behavior of [range] (and the documentation didn't help). Though the issue can be worked around (e.g. with winsaveview()), maybe changing the behavior or introducing a new special function argument would make this easier in the future. > [3 lines deleted] > What's wrong with :KeepView (btw, it's prepared for nesting)? I like your utility library (though the generic "plugin/cmds.vim" script is prone to naming clashes), but as a plugin writer I wouldn't consider adding a dependency to it just for this little piece of functionality. -- regards, ingo -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
