I always have problems selecting visual areas with the normal!
command in vim. Against all I expected, the following doesn't work:
function! s:foo()
normal! v/\S\<cr>
endfunction
nnoremap <silent> a :<c-u>call <sid>foo()<cr>
It just selects nothing. normal!
doesn't seem to work with /
. Have I reached the limit of vim's capabilities or am I just doing something wrong?
