Message-ID: <20010618181631.A42271@dogma.freebsd-uk.eu.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0.1i Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm still getting used to emacs, and overall i love it. But here are a few commands i loved in vi that i haven't yet discovered emacs analogues for. I will often use 'cw' in vi to change a word (usually a variable name, constant, etc) and then go to another word i want to change as well. In vi i can just use '.' to do this. Is there a similar way to 'change-word' then 'repeat-operation' in emacs, besides search-and-replace'? Jonathon -- Tech support: Try this. Arrange the parts in neat piles.
