I'm sure you know that (in normal mode) pressing . will repeat the change, but it will insert the same text that you typed the first time. I use a very simple kludge: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Copy_or_change_search_hit The above is surprisingly helpful. In your case, I would search for "xml" then type cs ("change search") and type the new text, then n (find next), then cs then type new text. Of course there is not much difference between 4s and cs, but the cs is always the same and so can be typed on automatic. John -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
