I also do that. You start writing a struct with one field per line and then you realise it would actually fit nicely on one line. Same for arguments to a function. Elements of a string literal. &c. In all these cases, you select and then join. I actually have my vimrc setting K as an upward J (i.e., join current line with the previous one) (although I haven't made the effort to make it work in visual mode because then I just use J): nnoremap K :.-,.join<CR> Cheers, -- ______________ Raphaël Proust
