You're first example wont work. What you want is :s/50/60/<CR> @: And that still won't handle .some-css-rule { margin:50px; padding-left:50px; padding-right:50px; } The second example will work, for this, but not for the situation where you change your mind halfway through and decide you want 70px instead.
