Hi Bram, I'm aware to the differences between these commands. According to the documentation both <C-R><C-R> and <C-R><C-O> insert the text literally and the only difference is if the formatting options are used or not. I don't see how formatting is related to my example or why one command uses a linewise register while the other is not. Also, I'm not sure if this is related, but I noticed that the results of the following two sequences are different: 1) ia<C-R><C-R>="b\n"<CR> 2) let @b="b\n" ia<C-R><C-R>b -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
