Please bottom post on this mailing list. Quote a small (relevant) part of the message you are replying to, and put your text underneath. In this case, all you needed to quote was: > So for your purpose, I would use the following sequence to map: > nnoremap <f8> yiw<C-W><C-W>@0G The mapping stays in normal mode for each operation. The mapping assumes there are two split windows, and pressing Ctrl-W Ctrl-W (same as Ctrl-W w) moves between them. It would be slightly more robust to use Ctrl-W p which moves to the previous window (would work even if more than two split windows). You start in one window with the cursor on a number like 123. Pressing yiw will "yank inner word", that is, copy "123" into the unnamed register (and into register 0). See :help iw Typing @0 will execute the contents of register 0. Since it is just a number, Vim regards the number as a count for the following G which will jump to that line number. John -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
