A couple months ago, I posted a vi quine. That is,
a series of vi keystrokes that when typed in vi
produce output the same as the keystrokes.

In cleaning out my house last weekend, I found a
shorter version, and have since tweaked it to make
it even a little shorter. Perhaps someone can
improve upon my current best:

ii^V^V^V^[BDuplxbbpp^[BDuplxbbpp

where ^V is CTRL-V and ^[ is CTRL-[ which should
be pretty standard.

Where do I get my application to be included in
the "stupid vi tricks" section of the FAQ?

Thanks,
rodney

I dunno - but you got straight onto my page about Vi and clones:

Should I add you last name, too?
