If you had searched /kites/ first, I'd suggest <C-r>/ to paste the search register, but clearly that isn't what you're after. If you do it that way, /kites :s/\(<C-r>/\)\(.*\)\(bikes\)/\3\2\1/ would shorthand typing kites (Just in case I'm not being clear about the key sequence here, <C-r>/ means ctrl+r then '/', and these are two commands, one to search and one to substitute) That works for your example on my machine. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
