Wow - that's magnificent.
(But it did need a minor tweak to work here.)
When I hit ^O soon enough after the ',' for the mapping to trigger,
the effect was to enter insert mode, and add the text
call FileJump(v:count1, 'b')
at the cursor position. (That's after I'd merely done a couple of
searches in a couple of files, to build a motion history.)
It does though work like a bought one after I remove the <c-u> from in
front of the call. (My .vimrc sports a few other mapped and au calls -
none of them have <c-u>, and have worked fine for a long time. I am
still on Vim 7.3 with patches 1-496. Is that relevant, I wonder?)
To give me time to achieve the keystrokes in the time limit, I've also
changed the mapping from ,^O to just ,o :
nm <Leader>o :call FileJump(v:count1, 'b')<cr>
nm <Leader>i :call FileJump(v:count1, 'f')<cr>
Many thanks for a brilliant addition to Vim's prodigious panoply of
perfect programming partners.
Erik
P.S. Just tried it again, before sending, and it's pure joy to have that
improvement.
