Re: ctrl-r ctrl-w in ViEmu

Hi,

I just bought a copy of ViEmu and im really happy with it. I noticed tho a difference from regular vim which is a bit annoying.

One thing that I use quite often. is to:

:%s/<ctrl-r w>/foo/s

what ctrl-r w does is that it copies the current word the cursor is placed on and its a really useful feature when you want to replace long words.

Right now ViEmu seems to copy the whole line or something like that instead of the current word.

Cheers!

Re: ctrl-r ctrl-w in ViEmu

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback. Indeed, ctrl-r ctrl-w is not implemented (I guess you mean that, as 'ctrl-r w' just retrieves the contents of the 'w' register). By default, ViEmu pulls in the contents of the default register if the second keypress is not a register name (a-z).

I will take note of this to implement in one of the next revisions of ViEmu.

Thanks,

Hi again,

You are right. I meant ctrl-r w so the topic was a bit misleading but its great to hear that it will be implemented in one of the next revisions.

Cheers!

Good, thanks. It will take a bit of time, as I'm now finishing some stuff with Codekana, but the next step after this codekana-work-burst is catching up with ViEmu issues and preparing new builds.
