Thanks Christian, I’m not in linewise visual mode, but just after I’ve left it; I would understand if I were still in that mode, but that’s not the case. > Also note, that '< will always be the upper position of these two marks > within the buffer, while '> will always be the lower position of those > two marks. (e.g. you can't set '> to a lower line then '< and you can't > set '< to a larger line number then '>) I’d noticed that. Actually, if you try to set '> before '<, the former is set to the current value of the latter, which is set to the new value. > Das muß ein Esel sein, der mit fünfzig Jahren noch dieselben > Anschauungen hat wie vor zwanzig Jahren. > -- Otto von Bismarck Good ol’ Otto :) -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
