I routinely use i_CTRL-R CTRL-w while typing in a command and grabbing the contents of the current word my cursor is on.
I wanted a few more options, for example, I wanted to grab from my cursor to the end of the line (i.e. y$). To do this of course I could y$, before typing the command, which I do as a work around. But this means I have to abandon what I have already typed, then redo it. I was trying to find in the help what options are available to me and I can't even find the one I use all the time. :h i_CTRL-R Shows me a bunch of special items: '"' the unnamed register, containing the text of the last delete or yank So I can do: i_CTRL-R" (to grab register ") i_CTRL-Ra (to grab register a) Based on the help, to find my CTRL-w, I thought it would be: :h i_CTRL-R_CTRL-w But that help location does not exist, even though these do: :h i_CTRL-R_CTRL-r :h i_CTRL-R_CTRL-w So 2 questions: 1. How do I find in the help where it says I can do i_CTRL-R followed by CTRL-w 2. Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can do i_CTRL-R followed by something like y$ to get to the end of the line in some way. I was thinking I could do this using the expression register. i_CTRL-R= then do something like y$, but that didn't work. If I can do something along that line, then that opens the door to using whatever standard Vim keys I need. TIA, David -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
