Indeed. It's not only useful but also helpful to me. Rather, I should say it's almost a solution. :) Attached is an updated version of test_quotestar.vim. It uses the client-server and job features. For the case where either of the features is not built in vim, I added a branch for testing such an instance. But the test of that branch is slow and flaky in comparison with the test based on the client-server and job features, and only proves the superiority of the latter. If the client-server test is expected to be improved further in hours or days, I'm ready for updating the patch accordingly. > And about worms: I like birds, birds eat worms, so that's OK! > Don't know where to get a can of them though... > You must be Bram Moolenaar! > > -- > hundred-and-one symptoms of being an internet addict: > 143.
