I'm wondering if there is a tool that can roughly estimate how many

I suppose you aren't going to accept my solution, but if the "model
file" is there for comparison (and if it isn't, you can't estimate the
keystrokes), then copying it over the other file is a trivial solution
to the problem; and on Windows that solution is O(1) on [i.e.
proportional to] directory tree depth, because on that OS every file or
directory has a "short name" no longer than 12 characters (plus one for
the \ separator; and the X: drive letter at the start is itself O(0),
thus negligible). In Vim, if both files are already open, that O(1) part
is already taken care of, and what remains is O(0), namely, something like
:n
:sav! #
:up
(where the last command should be :up! if the file you are trying to
change may be a read-only file).
Best regards :-P
