However, I am not sure > it is worth the trouble at all. AFAIK mode() will return "R" when the user just typed "r". It's not really replace mode, but it's in the state similar to replace mode. However, it may be different if CURSOR_SHAPE is not defined. I suppose that's a bit inconsistent. We can change that. -- hundred-and-one symptoms of being an internet addict: 15.
