I cannot guess why it doesn't work for you.
I just went to reproduce it and there seems to be something to the order of how the lines are selected. I slightly tweaked the order of the commands to make it clear what range I was selecting, assuming that a-range-was-a-range. Sorry about that confusion. If I do the selection from top to bottom, it does indeed work as you encountered: $ vim -u NONE :r !jot 15 3GVG:g/5/d gv But if I select them from bottom-to-top $ vim -u NONE :r !jot 15 V3G:g/5/d gv I get the (mis)behavior I was seeing...the "gv" doesn't reselect the available range. Again, sorry I messed up reproducing that situation. -tim -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
