As described at :help c_<esc> in macros (which I also understand from the evidence you've presented, to mean "mappings and macros"), the command you've entered thus far is run. However, right below that help, you can see how to prevent it from happening: use CTRL-C :cnoremap js <c-c> which seems to do what you're looking for. -tim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
