Putting brackets around words

What shall we do with the drunken sailor early in the morning

"What", "shall", "we", "do", "with", "the", "drunken", "sailor", "early", "in", "the", "morning",

And it can be done in Vim with this command:
%s/\w\+/"&",/g

Selecting text from SVG files

  1. :vnew is more effcient than :vsplit followed by :enew.
  2. yit is more efficient than vit followed by y.
  3. Okay I'm being facetious. Sorry. To actually answer your question, macros (:help complex-repeats) can playback commands that move the cursor to other windows, so you can use them for this sort of task. You might need to tweak this to work with the contents of your file, but the basic steps are:
    1. /tspan<cr>: Search for the first tag.
    2. f>l: Jump into the element contents.
    3. qq: Start recording into the q register.
    4. yit : Yank the text.
    5. ctrl-w w: Move cursor to your other window.
    6. p: Paste the yanked text.
    7. ctrl-w p: Move cursor back into the first window.
    8. n: Jump to start of next tag.
    9. q: Stop recording and save the macro.

    You can then play the macro back 31 times with the command: 31@q.
  4. You could probably also do it with a :global command.
