vim-surround offers a number of features, some easier to replicate, others more challenging. I commonly use c<motion/object>'<c-r>"'<esc> to wrap <motion/object> in quotes, using control+r followed by double-quote to enter the text of the most recent deletion/yank. It's not repeatable with "." (well, it is, but it repeats the original replacement, not with the second text). However you can record a macro if you need to redo that. I can do the same sort of thing if I'm using tags, things like caw<a href="#target"><c-r>"</a><esc> to wrap the current link in an HTML <a> element. For large numbers of changes, I tend to switch to using :g or :s commands :g/pattern/-pu='<p>'|+pu='</p>' :%s@pattern@<a href="#target">&</a>@g rather than trying to do one and then "."-repeat subsequent ones. -tim -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
