vim question

Am 14. Oct, 2003 schw=E4tzte Kevin Buettner so:

Cool, '<' goes the other way and '.' works for both.

Is there a way to select a section of code? That's the part that's missing.

if ( $fred ) {
=09# Stoff
=09if ( $anke ) {
=09=09# Other Stoff
=09}
}

It'd be nice to choose the 'matching' brace and then operate on those lines=
=2E

I do the indents via search and replace.

:.,5s/^/\t/g

That says to select the next five lines starting at the current line, searc=
h
for the start of the line and replace it with a tab. ( Kevin, that's for th=
e
home audience as I'm sure you understand it :)

Don't forget that the execution line ( ':' ) has a history buffer, so start
a new execution line, then hit the up arrow :). ^P works too. That just
seems wrong, emacs-style command line editing within vi...
