U D Man David. I read the Motion and several others, and put together
this:


:noremap <C-F5> 0/id\s*=<Enter>vi":s/\%V /_/g<Enter>

The inobvious trick is the \%V, which allows the substitution to work
only on the highlighted text. Otherwise, it operates on the whole line.
The preceding map appears to work consistently, as long as you're in
normal mode and on the line with the "id=".

Because snipMate has you in insert mode while filling out the line, the
following completes your <h1> line editing and puts you in insert mode
on a new blank line following:

:inoremap <C-F5> <Esc>0/id\s*=<Enter>vi":s/\%V /_/g<Enter>o

Thanks David. This was exactly the kind of time saver I was looking for.
