What do you mean by this? Execute the same command on multiple lines (like a search and replace)? If so yes, There are lots of ways to do this... The first way is to do is use CTRL+V to move down all the lines you want to edit and then type shift+I, and then after you edit the first line it'll run the exact same command(s) on all the other lines. Another way to do search/replace functionality is shift+V to make a visual selection and then type :s/find/replace/g and it'll only run on your visual selection (as long as you leave in the '<,'> section). Hope this is what you were wondering. John /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
