Re: python3-ly reformat in vim

[Andrew Bernard]

Hi Werner,

Interesting. I'll have some investigation. But close enough is good enough for me. In the majority of cases in my work, no lines are added or deleted, so I end up back very close.

Thanks!

Andrew

Are you sure about that?  In Emacs, I can set a marker property that
`sticks' to a given character.  As long as this character is not
deleted, it is possible to return to exactly that character,
regardless of its new position in the buffer after text manipulation.
I guess vim has a similar functionality...
