That is the way the :g command works. :g marks each relevant line and then runs the specified command for each marked line. That means for every line matching } it runs a "new" :s command with confirmation. So basically, you need to "quit"/"all" for each line again. Here is a patch, that makes "q" abort for all invocations of :s commands commands when used in conjuction with :g and 'a' work across all invocations of ':s' commands when using :g regards, Christian -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
