Re: invoking yanked register into colon command
Hi! There is an error: The function function MakeSearchString(str) return substitute(escape(@, '\\/.*$^~[]'), '\n', '\\n', 'g') endfunction should be function MakeSearchString(str) return substitute(escape(a:str, '\\/.*$^~[]'), '\n', '\\n', 'g') endfunction I have not seen this error before, because the function did the expected things even with this error.

From there, once you highlighted the exact pattern you want, can just use :%s//newname/gc as it remembers what you just looked for. No need to reinsert it for the 's' command.

Hi vimers, I getting used to many vim features but I still lack some skills, even after having read the user-manual. For example, I do often want to replace a name in the text with another.

Re: invoking yanked register into colon command
Hi!
For example, I do often want to
replace a name in the text with another. What I used to do is
selecting it with mouse and type
:%s/ctrl-ins/newname/gc
Is there a way to do this with the mouse (and without retyping the name) ?
What I want is maybe something like 'invoking a yanked register in my
colon command'
I have the following in my vimrc file:
function MakeSearchString(str)
return substitute(escape(@, '\\/.*$^~[]'), '\n', '\\n', 'g')
endfunction
function! SIDVisualSearch(direction)
if a:direction == '#'
let l:rhs = y?
else
let l:rhs = y/
endif
let l:rhs = l:rhs . \C-R=MakeSearchString(@\)\CR\CRgV
return l:rhs
endfunction
vnoremap expr * SIDVisualSearch('*')
vnoremap expr # SIDVisualSearch('#')
vnoremap F3 y/C-R=MakeSearchString(@)CR
vnoremap S-F3 y?C-R=MakeSearchString(@)CR
vnoremap M-F3 y:%s/C-R=MakeSearchString(@)CR/
With this just select a text and by typing F3 you can search for the
selected text and by typing M-F3 you can replace it easily. '*'
searches forward and '#' backwards like '*' and '#' do for the word
under the cursor in normal mode.
Best regards,
Georg

Thanks all of you for your answers. I grab the tip with Ctrl-R because
I have to use vim on many different computers, but will consider
adding the script when I'll refresh my vimrces.
