Question

Answer 1

+20 A:

d126G

Delete, line number, go.

A lot of commands in Vim can be followed by a move command to specify the scope.

+1'ing this as it requires fewer characters (and at least to me, fits far more into the "language of vim") than the other options.

I like this because you don't have to use the : command, which seems relatively clumsier.

Exvept that you can log your ':' commands to some file (viminfo), and it can be later reused. I do love 'q:' then '/searchforsomething' then hit enter...

Answer 3

+1 A:

Use this command:
65,126d

Neeraj 2010-02-12 08:53:42

This will delete lines from 65 to 126, but author wants to delete only line #126

Vestel 2010-02-12 08:58:22

Nope, the author wrote "delete up to".

Zsolt Botykai 2010-02-12 09:00:13

@Vestel,In that case none of the above answers are doing that:P

Neeraj 2010-02-12 09:06:55

Actually they do.

Answer 4

+3 A:

:.,126d

. is the actual line. If you want delete from the next line, you can use .+1 instead.

Zsolt Botykai 2010-02-12 08:55:02

+1 because that's how I do it ;-)
