As far as I know, you can't abort it. But as you dont use the 'black hole' register, you could just re-insert the text you wanted to change by typing: Ctrl-R Not the best solution, probably (don't type cfn if you don't want to change the text :) ) Peter
...to shoot into oneelse feet...
Hi, is it possible to get out of a started change command (dont know, whether this is this the correct naming...) with a single key pressed ? For example the text is Vim is a #eally$nice editor. # is marking my cursor position and $ is the sign appearing after I have submitted cfn already. Since vim is really a nice editor, I do not want to change anything and pressed cfn by accident. HmmmESC kills everything between # and $... u would undo it...but this like do the wrong thing and repair it afterwards.

Just press ESC followed by u to undo. Or, press ESC follwed by :q! to get out completely.
