What happens for you without it Les? Could it be due to > settings in ~/.vimrc? No, I didn't actually try it in vim. It was that way in vi long ago and I've given up on keeping track of what versions have what different behavior. But now that you mention it, none of the versions I use regularly need the space - and the other old quirk of not taking a repeat count for 'r' is fixed too. Maybe I should start reading release notes again - or at least once a decade... -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
