End is not standard thus can behave differently on different systems. Using $ is safer and promises to behave same way regardless of system. No other systems do this to me.

For example, with TERM=xterm hitting the End key in vim puts the cursor to the end of line, but with TERM=vt220 vim switches to insert mode and adds the letter F to the line above the cursor... -- Marko Vallius # PGP public key A4B84F58 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
