I've found that in order for 1v to work, you need to have "done something" with the last visual selection. E.g. this will not work: vaw<Esc>3w1v (enter visual mode, select a word, leave visual mode, move forward 3 words, try to select the same sized visual area) But this will work: vawy3w1v (enter visual mode, select a word, yank it, move forward 3 words, select the same sized visual area) -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
