It is a new consequence of the 'incsearch' option. It used to affect searching /, but it recently started to affect replacing during while editing the command line. And it has the drawbacks you mention about copy-pasting and in general perusing context. My work-around for now is to remove the % while editing and put it back before executing. But I also would like a way of enabling 'incsearch' for searches and disabling for replacement. Regards, -- Nicolas George -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
