Thanks!

I have found this trick earlier using :! in vim. You can check to other
nifty plugins using the same <C-\>e cmap trick:
1) system.vim: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=4224
for :!ls and :! ls (the second one will run :echo system("ls") and
there is a difference with using system() or :! in vim, though in
gvim they work more or less the same)
2) cmd_alias.vim: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=4250
for making aliases: with this plugin you can define lower case user
commands, what is forbidden by a direct usage of :command (see :help
command)

I am happy you like it! I like it too.

Like Tim, I also have a strong vim muscle memory, but let's face it.
For some time I've been already thinking that \(..\|..\) is to much
pain.

Another solution is to define a map:
nm / /\v
and the advantage is that you can delete \v with a single <c-u>, with my
plugin you have to explicitly type \m.

Cheers,
Marcin
