Thank you, another VERY useful tip.
It also got me reading about ":'<,'>"
( ":*" is an alias for ":'<,'>" )
:help v_:
{Visual}: Starts a command-line with the Visual selected lines
as a range. The code ":'<,'>" is used for this range, which
makes it possible to select a similar line from the command-line
history for repeating a command on different Visually selected
lines.
This means I can Visually select a range,
do a search and replace,
then Visually select a different range,
even a different size range,
recall any previous search/replace
and it will work on the completely new range.
I do find that 'handy'.
