- Based on Hans' previous posts, I really think he knew that, and was
- asking:
- (1) does \ do anything in command mode?
- (2) does mapping 'u' mess up other (seemingly unrelated) functions,
- the way mapping space bar breaks the ~ function?
-
- BTW:
- - is there a way to pipe just *1* line through a filter? I find things like
- !jsome_command<return>
- always send two lines. Also, is there an easy way to have *add* filtered
- output rather than have it replace the input?
