Here is an example:
Before sort
Is there a way to sort bdacefhgjilnkm?
a b
After sorting the marked portion(a<->b):
Is there a way to sort abcdefghijklmn?
Or in other words:
Everything of the marked portion is sorted alphbetically (ASCII-based)
character by character.
But: I wanted to this via "vim-power" and no to use vim as a "shell"
to call python (or whatelse) scripts.
For that I dont need vim...for that I have zsh.
Best regards,
mcc
