I understand your problem, but from the perspective of a plugin writer, I am against this option, because unsetting it will affect mappings and plugins in strange ways, and users probably then want the author to work around this. In my opinion, we've already got way too many options to worry about. Also, some people have the same mis-capitalization problem with :w, :q, etc., and may then want a similar 'ignorecasecommands' option (instead of the known workaround of custom commands, which is feasible only for a few commands). I mean no offense, but you probably will never be effective with Vim when suffering from fat or lazy fingers... I'd tackle the problem at the root by more controlled typing, maybe a better keyboard. -- regards, ingo -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
