Hi. I have 3 questions that may seem dumb but I can't find an answer
for. I'm trying to kill a few nagging problems with one email here so
hope you can help me in my quest to master vi and mc.
1. Using vim, how could I replace tabs with spaces ? Not just reduce
or enlarge the tabsize like with 'set ts=' but phsyically replace them
with a number of spaces. I've tried variations of the %s/ / /g command
but can't get vim to actually recognise my tab parameter.
2. Using vim (again), how could I find a matching brace or bracket '}'
or ')' for a brace or bracket that the cursor is on? I'm using vim
to brush up on some programming skills and need a quick way of finding
a match for a brace, not just the 'next brace'.
3. I can't find a way to get mc (Midnight Commander) to let me select
individual files at a time. I can select a group using the '+' key but
not a group of differently named files. NOTE: I"m weaning myself off
using ZtreeWin on my Windows system which is something I really miss.
I did have another question but don't want to push my luck :-)
