Also, if you use :normal, you can't use <Up> as is as that would behave as if you'd typed four keys: <, U, p and >. You'd have to actually do something like :normal <c-v><up> (that's hitting a control-V to get a literal character and then hitting UP to actually have it insert the character code for the up key). Your best bet may be something like :execute "normal \<up>\<c-right>\<down>" Salman -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
