[..] So, can you do move lines 827 though 844 to before line 212 in one go? Trivial in VI (and variants).
Well, I'm not that deep in VI and maybe so BUT its not as simple as the other editors !
It would take
:827,844m212
I don't see that as complicated.
I you wanted to do it graphically, the key strokes might be
827G17dd212Gp
That is, Goto line 827 Yank into the transient buffer 17 lines while deleting them Goto like 212 Put the contents of the transient buffer after the current line.
Again, its called easy of use. In the other editor, you don't NEED to know the LINE NUMBERS + again, CRYPTIC !!!!! <snip> -- Duaine Hechler Piano, Player Piano, Pump Organ - Tuning, Servicing & Rebuilding (314) 838-5587 / dahechler@att.net / www.hechlerpianoandorgan.com Home & Business user of Linux - 13 years -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
