Re: compatibility with Sun's original vi for command :su

Hi,

the original vi on Sun took :su as :suspend,
whereas vim takes :su as :substitute.

I am very used to typing :su.

Would it be possible for VIM 7.4 to add a new compatibility flag to cpoptions
about the meaning of :su ?

suggested compatible flag:  :su = :suspend,  :s = :substitute
without the flag:           :su = :substitute

Thanks for responding!

Why not just do something like:

:cab su substitute

Or, if you want to make sure it's only after a colon (and not after every occurrence of "su"), look up getcmdpos() and only act if it's at the beginning of the command-line.

Hope this helps,
