Thanks Milan, that's great. It would be perfect if it updated itself every time the cursor moved up or down a line, and if it counted as if the current line's number was 1 (so that to delete the current and next lines using "2dd" the last line I wanted to delete would have "2" next to it). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
