hi there,

I'm currently having the chance to watch your "Mastering Vim" video training - first of all, thanks a lot for this great video session. It's real fun to watch and a great inspiration.

I believe I found a little flaw in the code for the "make shift operations in visual mode and stay in visual mode afterwards" function that you show in the video "enhancing visual modes" (and in the code file "These_can_be_put_in_your_vimrc" in line 100 to 114).

I believe in line 107, it should be:
function! ShiftAndKeepVisualSelection(cmd)
instead of:
function! ShiftAndKeepVisualSelection(cmd, mode)

(At least if I just copy and paste the function without removing "mode", it doesn't seem to be working).

Best,
Christian

Other Digital Version video "Hide the Details", 3:39 min

hi again, another tiny correction:
In the clip "Hide the Details" (at ca. 3:39 min) the command to "eliminate all folds" doesn't seem to be working.

not working:
ze
I believe correct would be instead:
zE

Cheers,
Christian

help video

Hi, in the video on the help function you demonstrate that the command :help <subject><tab> will list all help subjects containing the string subject. When I try this with Gvim 7.4 it doesn't work; instead I have to type ":help <subject><Ctrl-D>. I'm running gvim 7.4 on Windows; is this a configuration issue or has the syntax changed since your video?

Thanks, Phillip Burns
