hi, I thought I'd contribute my 2 cents. I've used VIM for umpteen years, and have found that if the solution to a VIM issue is too complex, I might use it once or twice but then forget it. I've developed many scripts, plugins, and methods, only to find that...........they become forgotten after some time if I don't use them regularly.
Alas, I have the answer to your question, and stumbled on it by accident: On my Windows VIM GUI, :set nu, and then hold down Ctrl-Shift while highlighting the desired text with the mouse. This yanks the line numbers into the buffer. -- View this message in context: http://vim.1045645.n5.nabble.com/set-nu-how-to-copy-lines-with-line-numbers-tp1186325p5594374.html Sent from the Vim - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
