Description Franklin Weng 2013-11-25 03:50:04 UTC

In vim, I usually use command 's' to substitute a word.  For example,

"Kate is very good to use."

I want to change "very" to "quite", so I'll put the cursor to 'v' and press 's' '4' then input 'quite', and press ESC to exit the edit mode.

In Kate's vi mode, if I use it this way, it will become
"Kate is quitequitequitequite good to use."
after I press ESC.

The repeat times is exactly the number what I input after 's'.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select vi mode in Kate
2. Use vi command 's' '5' to remove a 5-chars words
3. input another word and press ESC

Actual Results:  
The input words will show repeatedly.

Expected Results:  
The input words should show only once.

Do you mean "4s" instead of "s4"? The later doesn't seems to work in my vim. What version of vim do you use? The "4s" variant seems to be working in kde 3.11.3 (guessing it will be the same in 3.11.2).

Yes, "4s" instead of "s4".  Sorry for my fault.

My vim version is 7.3.429.  It worked with "4s" command.
My kate version is also 3.11.3.  The behavior of "4s" is wrong.

I'll attach four screenshots to describe this bug.

step 2: use "8s" to replace the string

Thanks for report! I can replicate this even on devel version, but I think the fix won't be much complicated. Hang in there.
