terminated by the visual-mode Q command in order to proceed to the next marked line.)
The global command itself and the undo command are not allowed in command.
The editor options autoprint, autoindent , and report are inhibited.
Appending a ! to the global command (that is, g! ...) or using the alternate name v
causes command to be run on the lines within range that do not match the pattern.
insert line i[nsert][!]
Enter input mode; the input text is placed before the specified line. The last line input
becomes the current line, or the line before the target line, if no lines are input.
Appending ! to the command toggles the autoindent editor option setting for this
insert only.
join range j[oin][!] count flags
Join together the text from the specified lines into one line. White space is adjusted to
provide at least one blank character (two if a period appears at the end of a line, or none
if the first character of a line is a closing parenthesis ())). Extra white space at the
beginning of a line is discarded.
Appending a ! to the command causes a simpler join with no white-space processing.
list range l[ist] ount flags
Print the specified lines with tabs displayed as ˆI and the end of each line marked with
a trailing
$. (The only useful flag is # for line numbers.) The last line printed becomes
the current line.
map map key#naction
map! key#naction
The map and map! commands define macros for use in visual mode. The first argu-
ment, key, can be a single character or a multicharacter sequence. In the special
sequence, #n, n is a digit referring to the function key n. Special characters, whi-
tespace, and newline must be escaped with a
ˆV to be entered in the arguments. The
key argument cannot contain a colon (:) as its first character, nor can a multicharacter
sequence begin with an alphabetic character.
Macros defined by map are effective in visual command mode. Macros defined by
map!
are effective in visual input mode. When key or the function key corresponding to
#n is
entered, the editor interprets the operation as though action were typed.
The
map or map! command without options displays the corresponding current list of
macros.
See also the editor options keyboardedit , keyboardedit!, timeout, and
timeoutlen in Editor Options below.
mark line ma[rk] x
line k x
The specified line is given the specified mark x, which must be a single lowercase letter
(a-z). x must be preceded by a space or tab. The current line position is not affected.
k
is an alternate name for mark.
move range m[ove] line
Move the specified lines (range) to follow the target line. The first line moved becomes
the current line.
next n[ext][!][file ...]
The next file from the command line argument list is edited. Appending a ! to the com-
mand overrides the warning about the work area having been modified since the last
write (and discards any changes unless the autowrite editor option is set). The argu-
ment list can be replaced by specifying a new one on this command line.
