Ha, I didn’t know that, thanks. If it became necessary to do a search and replace, I block-selected the first column and cut it into a register, anothe buffer, or just deleted it away and at the end of editing, refetched the list of files using :r !ls. PS.: This mail was written in vi because I left KMail out of frustration for the time being. ;-) -- :x :q I forbid any use of my email addresses with Facebook services. Das kann ja Eiter werden.
