Whoops, you're right, however there is a difference between dw and dE. I believe the latter defines a "word" by something surrounded by whitespace, where as the former includes additional characters for word boundaries. For example, imagine you have this line of text: "I have uploaded img_0412.jpg to the web server." And your cursor is on the 'i' of "img_0412.jpg". If you type "dw", it will delete everything up to ".jpg" (leaving the extension) however "dE" will delete the entire string "img_0412.jpg". And, yeah, I use 'D' to erase from the cursor to the end of the line. It's one of those things (like typing a password) that I cannot recall unless I am actually typing it without thinking... :-/ Chris _______________________________________________ mlug mailing list [email protected] https://listes.koumbit.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mlug-listserv.mlug.ca
