I just found a way to use vim as a calculator by using a Ruby one liner. :!ruby -e 'puts 5*2' will open a cmd window and output the result. If you want to read the result into your vim buffer use: :r!ruby -e 'puts 74/5.0' You can even use the contents of a register in the calculation command by yanking to a register: select text then "ay will yank to register 'a'. then in the command paste from the 'a' register: <C-R>a. I then I used this in a keyboard macro and it worked great. I hope you find this tip useful. Kevin
