Hi everybody! I use vim on a daily basis at work but also at home and I think as I write this e-mail anyway, it would be a good place to thank you for all the effort you put in it all the time! Thanks!
Now, as I stated, I use vim quite often but I wouldn't call me a vim professional. I found myself a few times in the following situation: I started hacking around on a configuration file when suddenly I noticed I really messed up a section inside the file. Now either I invoke the ":*e*dit" command where I lose all the "useful work" around the section, or I try to :*u*-ndo until the few lines are in an original state again, losing all the "good work" that I had done after messing up the section. I usually end up opening a second editor copying the original lines into the editor again, deleting my modification on those lines. I probably don't have to mention how tedious this is, especially if you're inside an ssh connection... My questions: Is there a command I missed to reload only a single / a few lines from the disk again? Would you consider such a feature useful for yourself? And what would you be an appropriate command for this function? I'm looking forward hearing your ideas and comments on this!
