Could it be possible that you've opened 48 buffers, but closed/wiped some since starting Vim? Though based on your next example, were you on line 48 when you issued that? > httpd.conf" 691 lines --91%-- > :$b > E86: Buffer 691 does not exist This one does seem suspect/buggy to me. > :#b > E488: Trailing characters This one makes sense, since "#" is an Ex command to number the current line, which I regularly use as ":g/pattern/#" to number the lines matching a pattern. So it doesn't expect anything after that. I think you're reaching for :b# > :^b > E492: Not an editor command: ^b This one makes sense to me too, at least as an omission, as Vim sees the "^" and doesn't recognize it as a command or valid range, so the E492 lets you know what it thinks is wrong. Not having meaning, it *could* be overloaded in this context to mean something like ":0b" but I'm not sure that has much value as you already have ":0b" > Just a simple question, does it make sense to expect the usual > buffer arguments to work for :buffer? maybe :-) -tim -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
