Thanks for the patch, Christian. This is certainly useful, also for other command-line mappings. I didn't know about 'wildcharm'; it looks to me that making it equal to the 'wildchar' value makes sense (and not setting it to an unused key as suggested by its help), so that one is able to record and replay stuff like :split ~/<Tab><Tab>foo.txt in a macro. I wonder why it's empty by default. -- regards, ingo -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
