Sometimes I paste some text into the Vim command line (example: type ':echo ' then Ctrl-R a to paste register a).
If I accidentally paste a large amount (kilobytes), I have to wait a very long time (several minutes) while Vim struggles to handle the text. Pressing Ctrl-C has no discernible effect. Last July, someone complained about this at vim_mac: http://groups.google.com/group/vim_mac/browse_thread/thread/7b520681cfc3a464 I see that cmdline_paste() (in src/ops.c) uses ui_breakcheck() in anticipation of this problem, but it does not seem to work on console or gui Vim on Linux or Windows (Vim 7.3e). Does anyone have evidence that Ctrl-C will interrupt a command line paste on some system? John -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
