...actually on further thought, "[count]th non-blank" could be useful for editing text in comments where ^ by itself is less useful. Consider: // this is // a multiline comment // which has been indented One could then use 3^ to jump to the beginning of the comment text. Of course right now one can simply ^W to accomplish the same thing. But although the same number of keystrokes, it's 2 commands instead of just one. This could make a difference in operator-pending mode, for example. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
