@Alan, maybe hitting the actual "Esc" key requires too much "reach" Mapping CapsLock to escape maybe lets u type faster, perhaps I am just guessing though..maybe Paul can explain On vim, just saw this on hnews today morning...might be of interest http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2080342

[Tutor] Odd result from function call

When I call one of my functions from the shell (ie compare(10, 5)) it produces the correct output. However, when I run the program after calling the method later in the script, the result is bizarre. I'm curious why the wrong result is printed. Here is an example: def compare(x,y): if x < y

I try to write a program, where the user can write a word or a name and I will tell how many times the subject was mentioned in a text, I'm hosting. I guess it's possible but not this way it seems? The re is only searching for the word "name" and not the variable name I'm using Python 2.6.6. TI
