Interesting point. Often the it's find to leave these as their defaults, but I could add a function that lists (or adds templates for) the ones that aren't defined yet. > A related gripe is that similar items like Number and Constant are not > always defined, even if the author just wants to link them together. > Does the plugin handle linking groups?

It should be fairly easy to implement, I just haven't had time yet. Thanks for the ideas, Al -- http://www.cgtk.co.uk -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
