quote deleting in vim (OT)

2001-07-11 Thread Dan Boger

Just a wild guess that the vi gurus here could help me out...  When I
reply to a message, I try to quote only the relevant parts.  But once
I'm done, especially if the message is part of a long and over quoted
thread, I have to delete 10s, or even 100s of lines before I get to my
sig...  any easy way of doing Delete until ^--?  I could also write a
macro to do DG:r~/.sig^M, but thought there might be an easier way?

Anyone?

:)

Well, d} will delete everything until the next blank line, which
should work, since mutt puts in a blank line before the signature
separator. Alternatively you could just, as you suggest, do

d/^--
