VI

[SAM_24]

Hi,

I set sw=3 , I want to apply it for all or set of lines.

1
.
.
7

I can do SHIFT+>> for each line to move right.
Is there any way I can apply it for all 7 lines.

Thanks.

Can you elaborate?

Thanks

Hello,

that's absolut simple (if I understand your question right):
Type 7 and then SHIFT+>> to do it for 7 lines.

Hi,

You can set your preferences for vi in the
.exrc file in your home directory.

Hi there,

Shifting 7 lines is very simple, just type:

7>>

when you are on the first line you want to shift.

Also, you can use an ex(1) command, like:

23,30>

which will shift lines 23 to 30 (inclusive) one shiftwidth to the right. Not that you use only one '>' in this case.

Hope that helps,
Timo

Sorry that ex command should be:

:23,30>

Thanks Dirk. I didn't know that it is very simple.
