Somehow, the vim/emacs war still manages to rage on. I was introduced to vi by
Kurt Olsen in 1991 - probably in an attempt to get me to edit my own .netrekrc
for a change. Since then, it's been my goto editor for just about every line
of code that I've written.
Now and again, I'll find a use case that bugs the hell out of me with vim and
I'll do a bit of googling around to see if there's a solution.
Today, I finally got fed up with manually reformatting paragraphs to 80-column
widths and asked the only greater adherant to The Church of Vi that I know of,
Glenn Mulvaney, if he had an idea. With a push in the right direction, we
found.... gqap. Set your cursor in the paragraph in question and type gqap in
command mode. Nice.
Now all I need is a way to quickly turn this:
anothenatoe unoathe nato eunaho 1
anothenatoe unoathe nato eunaho 1
anothenatoe unoathe nato eunaho 1
anothenatoe unoathe nato eunaho 1
anothenatoe unoathe nato eunaho 1
...
...
...
into:
anothenatoe unoathe nato eunaho 1
anothenatoe unoathe nato eunaho 2
anothenatoe unoathe nato eunaho 3
anothenatoe unoathe nato eunaho 4
anothenatoe unoathe nato eunaho 5
...
...
...
...as previously requested.
