Thanks Jürgen, i haven't thought of this.
In any case, if i need to cancel a count in a `vnoremap <expr> ...` mapping,
for example, i do not see a better option than '@_'.
For Normal and Visual modes, i plan however to remap my `<Esc>` key using
something like this:
function s:NVMapExpr_EscKey()
if v:count
return '@_'
else
return "\<Esc>"
endif
endfunction
nnoremap <expr> <Esc> <SID>NVMapExpr_EscKey()
vnoremap <expr> <Esc> <SID>NVMapExpr_EscKey()
Alexey.
