Tip: #133 - Run a command in multiple buffers
Created: October 11, 2001 13:41 Complexity: basic Author: Salman Halim Version: 6.0 Karma: 9/8 Imported from: Tip#133
i like bufdo and windo but i don't like the fact that the commands end in a different window/buffer than from where i executed them. these versions (starts with a capital letter) will restore the current window or buffer when the command's done.
For example, to turn on line numbers everywhere, i use :Windo set nu -- :windo set nu does the trick also but leaves me in a different window than where i started.
" just like windo but restores the current window when it's done
function! WinDo(command)
let currwin=winnr()
execute 'windo ' . a:command
execute currwin . 'wincmd w'
endfunction
com! -nargs=+ -complete=command Windo call WinDo(<q-args>)
" just like bufdo but restores the current buffer when it's done
function! BufDo(command)
let currBuff=bufnr("%")
execute 'bufdo ' . a:command
execute 'buffer ' . currBuff
endfunction
com! -nargs=+ -complete=command Bufdo call BufDo(<q-args>)

tabdo suffers from the same thing. Can a similar fix be made?
