> Q is usually mapped to gq by vimrc_example.vim. That indeed seems to be the source of the problem! Thanks, Tony. When I execute ":unmap Q", the problem goes away and I can replace selected text with "Q".
Is there a compelling reason why this key-binding exists? It is very unintuitive to the casual user. The casual user doesn't know anything about key-mappings, much less how to find vimrc_example.vim and remove this binding. To such a user, this quaint quality of "Q" is quite quixotic. :) --Kevin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
