I've been using VI for well over a year know and it is my editor of choice (that could say something good or bad about me I guess)... But there has always been a couple of items I would search help for and can't seem to find and I finally decided to ask my local neighberhood before I track down the misc.editor (or whatever) newsgroup :) a) Whenever I yank to a bookmark (e.g.) I mark the begining of some text I want to duplicate by pressing mm in command mode, then move to the end of that section and do a y'm to yank it... The cursor always moves to the mm location :( Since I am duplicating the lines, I want it to stay right where it was so I can do the "p" thing :) Any ideas how to yank it without the jumping or an easier "dupe" it way to do it... b) (the only other question :), is how to repeat the last action, regardless of what it was. I know that "n" repeats the last find and ";" repeats the last semi-colon... I find I do alot of /pattern, then a cw to change the word I found... I would like to repeat this manner... I don't want to do a :%s/pattern/ etc... because... how do I have it prompt me for each one (each change) to determine if it "should" do it (sort of yes/no) for each find... TIA ... (p.s. I use Coderight for Windows - my office standardized on this editor for development and it has vi built into it... - Anyone have other alternatives - shareware or commercial - that has full implementation of VI for Win 95?? TIA squared... :)
