I do that all the time when editing my html/js stuff, as I have a main "index" page with a bunch of dirs hanging off it, with the 'index.html' file referencing each one, and one 'common' dir for js function-libraries, common .css files (to maintain the same "look'n'feel"), etc. When I want to c&p something in a file I'm editing, I just 'cd' to the dir where the source file lives, 'vim' the file, then use the clipboard to hijack whatever code I need and paste it to the target file I'm editing. No need to have the same 'vim' instance. Your clipboard broken somehow that this doesn't work? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
