No, because I was looking at visual replace, while you were experiencing a different problem, when changing text. I think the problem in your case is, that the new line becomes smaller then before, and so the change is aborted. You can actually force to make Vim think it is valid to repeat the change for each visually selected block, by making sure the resulting line will be longer then the previous line before breaking the line. But it still won't repeat the linebreak. I'll look into that issue, but those block changing operations are complicated to get right and I am not sure, I can make it work correctly. So I can't promise to be able to make a patch. regards, Christian -- Nachbarn denken, es hätte bei Ihnen gebrannt, wenn Sie einfach die Matratzen in den Garten werfen und die Fensterscheiben von innen mit schwarzer Schuhcreme bestreichen! -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
