Hi, I have recently learnt of a patch that was submitted to the list almost five years ago. Please see here:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/vim_dev/lR5rONDwgs8/iLsVCrxo_WsJ The reception was positive but for some reason the discussion was abandoned. I would like to reopen the discussion. I'd be very interested in this feature and happy if the patch could eventually be included. As for the name of the variable, how about: v:motiontype The documentation says that when no motion type is given the variable will be empty, when an explicit motion type is given ("forced") it will be "v", "V", or "<C-V>". I don't think the word "force" is strictly required to make the intent of the variable clear. As for the underscore, the majority of v: variables with compound names don't have it and I think this short name would look nice next to the other variables which are relevant in this context: v:register v:count v:count1 v:prevcount v:operator v:motiontype What do you think? -- David Bürgin -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
