I cast my vote for the behavior change instead... vim has had :keepjumps for a long time; I'd expect that scripters are going to favor :keepjumps 10 over this undocumented "feature". In general, I don't think it's a good idea to keep vi compatibility when vim has an indisputably better way to do the job. ~Matt -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
