I was looking at the documentation for yank:
"Yanks window left until it inserts with one window less than before." I don't think this is very explicit. I think it should say "overlaps" less. An antonym of overlap is separate. I kind of like that term for what I understand yank does. Pack is more about tiling, in my opinion, than packing. --dmg Timo Korvola twisted the bytes to say: Timo> On Tuesday 29 December 2009 07:47:20 Teika Kazura wrote: >> Is 'bump' better than 'pack'?
