Suddenly simple find&replace stopped working in one particular case. I'm selecting the code-block in visual-mode, so the final command looks like:
'<,'>%s/someStuff/stuff/gI
I get the error:
Trailing characters
It's very strange behavior because the same commands worked very well earlier.
Search and replace in VIM results in trailing characters didn't help.
You don't need %, as you already have another range ('<,'>) for your command s. So it must be simply '<,'>s/SomeStuff/stuff/gI.
