Perhaps that happened in an older version of vim? Using F7 I have no

The age of your copy of vim doesn't have anything to do with it. Whether
or not you're editing in-place (and thus maintaining context), or
renaming-and-replacing depends on several options within vim.
I just typed vim in my Terminal and it came up asking me to join a
vim lovers list. I then spent a couple of minutes figuring out how to
turn it off :-(
It seems to Ctrl z,x or something like that ;-)
In anycase it quit and I suggest if anyone wants to write anything from
a terminal you can't beat MY Joe editor. I am old and Word Star was the
first editor I learned and so Joe is the only Word Star editor in Linux
I think. It can still be yummed onto F7.
Now to read man vim and maybe info vim. Seem like if your right in
the middle of a problem the only editor at hand is vim :-[
