If I do a replace like this:
:%s/May/June/gc
afterward I keep hitting y or n as needed. But sometimes it hit n on
accident and need to go back. I read that you can use N for this purpose, but
it seems what you actually have to do is:
q
N
:,$s/May/June/gc
Is that the case, or is a better option available?
Another approach is something like this:
/MAY
Enter
cgn
JUNE
Esc
Then use n to go forward, or N to go back, and . to replace.
