Opening a new line in evil-mode

Tue Jun 3 01:44:38 CEST 2014

Thanks for the information! In my case moving the cursor and inserting the "\n" doesn't happen within the same runloop. Are there any tricks to still make it working or is the only choice I have is to call them within the same function?

Thanks,
Dima
