I believe you would want to use the Ctrl-P & Ctrl-N mappings to navigate the "command-line mode" history in vim so as to be in sync' with the readline emacs defaults. In vim this can be achieved by adding: :cnoremap <C-P> <Up> :cnoremap <C-N> <Down> to one's .vimrc. The only thing is that when you issue for instance the ":set paste" command and need to retrieve later, with the arrow keys you can type ":set" and do an <up arrow> and vim will retrieve the "paste" part of the command and append to the ":set" that you typed. For some reason this does not appear to work when you remap <Up> to Ctrl-P.. the previous ommand command is retrieved in its entirety and whatever you typed beyond the ":" is ignored. Sorry about sloppy post earlier.. hope this benefits s/o on the list. CJ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
