use single quotes in place of backtticks in the evil ex range definition #3

Open ninrod opened 7 years ago

ninrod commented 7 years ago

Currently one have to escape the range indicators with backticks instead of single quotes for the B command to work:

:`<,`>B s/old/new/g

this is less than ideal because once a text is selected, after pressing : emacs already writes '<,'> for you, so you have to backspace all that and write the new range expression again yourself.

I'll add a wrapper that will automatically insert :`<,`>B for visual block mode. The backticks are necessary for it to be characterwise (or else you get the position at the beginning of the line).
