At a pinch, here's how I'd do it: | Shift+V | 3j | :'<,'>s/ *= */\t=\t/<Enter> | gv | :'<,'>retab<Enter> | 3l | CTRL+V | 3l | 3j | d | 3l | CTRL+V | 5l | 3j | d * <S-V> 3j : select target lines * :'<,'>s/ *= */\t=\t/<Enter> : spaces -> tabs around equal sign? * gv : repeat selection * :'<,'>retab<Enter> : replace tabs by spaces? * 3l <C-V> 3l 3j d : block-select extra spaces & delete them * 3l <C-V> 5l 3j d : ibid. Not as complicated as it seems: apart from <S-V> and <C-V> to select lines or blocks, it only uses a trivial regex to substitute tabs for spaces, and the :retab command to change them back to spaces. Most of the keystrokes are just to move the cursor around.. something you'd have to do anyway. CJ ? The '<,'> range that prefixes the Ex-mode commands corresponds to the selected lines. You don't type those 5 characters: whenever there is an active selection, Vim conveniently does it for you.. -- HOW ARE YOU GENTLEMEN? -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
