Ben, Ctrl-C will kill a given task, but it won't cancel future timeouts (if it was an interval). Ctrl-C can't do that or else it would happen accidentally since the end user should never notice timers firing to begin with. I'm open to suggestions, but you are asking for a solution to a problem that doesn't exist in any other text editor or IDE. -Matt -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
