If you insist on visual mode, I think you mean "1GVGy" not "1GVGyy". A couple variants: ggVGy ggyVG 1GyVG Depending on my whim, I occasionally use that, but tend to reach for :%y most frequently, which one character shorter and allows me to also specify certain target registers in one character rather than two (the lettered ones do require a space to separate them, but most frequently I'm doing this to get it in the system clipboard) :%y+ " yank to the clipboard register which is two extra characters with the method you suggest: gg"+yVG ggVG"+y 1G"+yVG 1GVG"+y -tim -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
