You got close to it at the end there, this is a CTRL-F character. On the command-line, to get a literal CTRL-F character, type CTRL-V followed by CTRL-F. If you have CTRL-V mapped to a paste function, you can try CTRL-Q followed by CTRL-F instead. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
