I didn't know either, but from my testing it seems to do something like:
move to the start of the current scope and format (indent) everything
in the current scope.
at least that's what it seems to do for me. ;-)

Matthew,
Got it. I was just looking at motion.txt (which I should have done in

Go vim!

I should just mention that my new favourite command is =a{, which
