When it doesn't work, can you execute it manually with success? Other than that I can't help debug very much because I don't know what your key bindings are, and I no longer remember the defaults. General tip for requesting help on the lists: formulate your macros to use keybinding names, not keystrokes. That means putting each and every interaction EXCEPT for prompt input into angle brackets using the binding's name. If you can do that before posting, more people will understand what you're trying to do up front. No criticism meant -- just a utilitarian perspective. ;) -- David Champion • d...@bikeshed.us
