That is not convenient for most of the use cases. E.g., to modify the window split behavior, the user could have specified any of "top", "vertical", "leftabove", "rightbelow", "topleft" etc., so would you search for each of the flags to compose the modifiers to pass down to the final split your plugin is going to perform, instead of a simple pass through like this? exec v:cmdmodifiers 'split' s:windowName I think the sweet spot is a single string, but with any modifiers expanded to their full name, as it serves all the needs. -- Hari > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
