You could also use 'q' to record all your keystrokes and then recall them. For instance, to add a single space in front of all lines in a text block, you could move your cursor to the first line, type 'qa' to start recording, then type ctrl-I <space> <esc> j and then 'q' to stop recording. Now move the cursor to the next line down and type '@a' and the whole process will be repeated. Add a number to specify how many times you want to repeat the process, e.g. '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' to do this for four lines. -- Marc Adler -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
