Hi,

that is strange. I've tried again and that behavior persists.

I'm using Vim 7.4 and I'm editing a LaTeX file. I'm attaching a minimal file-example:

before.tex having the original source

after.tex having what I get after I applied the macro indicated above.

 

All the occurrences get transformed ok (even the last one, more complicated) but not the second one.

 

I also tried to apply the commands that make the macro directly to that 2nd occurrence and it fails when trying to do the `` command. Notice that it deletes one character (as x says) but it the wrong place (at the beginning of the previous xxx that had been already executed because it was from there it had jumped before). `` picks up the wrong jump, instead of the last, it picks up the last but one.

 

Before creating the macro I position the cursor for instance in the line

\begin{document}

so that that zero occurrence of xxx (where I define the command \xxx.

 

Am I overlooking something?
