Learned something new. I seldom, if ever, use the visual mode so I mark the end of the block and use the :.,'as/^/#/ form. Years of muscle memory. I have a book on Vim somewhere. What it pointed out to me is how much functionality Vim has that I don't use. I learned one way to skin a cat long ago and stuck with it. For example I use :new foo.txt to get two vertically stacked panes. I know you can do side by side panes but I never do. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman3//lists/python-list.python.org
