Why would it need to do that? :n,md (literal d, n & m are ints) or any number of other delete options would also suffice if you want to kill whole lines. My intention when pressing R was the same as pressing I in block mode, so I would argue that it would actually make sense not to delete any lines at all. In any case, thanks for your explanation, the behaviour makes sense, now :) Richard --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
