As I tried to globally replace FOO with BAR in a vim buffer, I accidentally typed
:%S/FOO/BAR/
Note the uppercase S instead of the more suitable s.
Of course, it wouldn’t replace my FOOs. That’s understandable. Yet, vim split the window into two windows, both holding the same buffer.
Unfortunately, I was unable to find any :help on this behaviour. So, can someone explain what the uppercase :%S is supposed to do and where I can find help on it?
