Shift+Up and Shift+Down are by default synonyms for <PageUp> and <PageDown>. However, the default Vim installer will create $VIM/_vimrc for you. In this auto-installed file, there is the command, "behave mswin". This command changes the default behavior of <S-Up> and <S- Down> to be as you expect, by setting the 'selectmode' option. Since you created your own $HOME/_vimrc file, Vim no longer sources the $VIM/ _vimrc file as discussed previously. You should look at the $VIM/_vimrc file to see if there is anything else you wish to retain from the "default" settings, and copy it into your own $HOME/_vimrc. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
