Why does it make sense for :argdo and :bufdo? > I agree I don't like it for :windo and :tabdo but it's easy enough to work > around, and at least it's consistent. What is the easy workaround? If user wants to iterate these objects at command-line, it requires managing some global state (g: variable(s)) before and after the :windo and :tabdo, not to mention :windo and :tabdo must now be coddled in a `exe ':tabdo ...'` which now requires the user to worry about escaping single-quotes. Why should a user have to fiddle with these workarounds just to iterate through a list? Justin M. Keyes -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
