Re: Sorting columns in a file

Hi Eric, I am assuming you want to re-order the columns horizontally, in which case Visual Block Mode is what you want. Press CTRL+V to start selecting a column, use 'x' to delete it, and 'P' (upper-case P) to paste it (I find upper-case P is more logical for Visual Block paste). HTH, regards,

With gv you can re-select the previous visual block. Is it possible to give a horizontal shift with it? Like + or - 5? Natively? Not as far as I know. However, if you haven't already discovered the o command in block-wise-visual-mode, it does bounce you to the opposite corner of the block.

If by making the desired tab current you mean using :tabn {count} then it isn't allowed. I imagine changing tabs within the tabline function would be A Bad Thing, and would cause recursion. I hadn't thought about using a global array of names, although it would be a pain to maintain when one
