Typing the sequence 'oun' really fast (i.e. touch typing
speed) when there already exists a line below the one the
cursor is currently on, in INSERT mode, moves the cursor down
one line between the 'u' and the 'n'.
In my general experience, this "doesn't happen" :) There are a
couple possible causes that occur to me:
1) you've got an insert-mode mapping. To determine, issue
:imap
and check the results for something funky like a mapping for
"oun". Alternatively, you can start a "naked vim" with
vim -u NONE
which will prevent it from loading any plugins. If either of
these finds the problem, you can use :scriptnames to determine
where things may or may not have been loaded, and search them for
where the mapping (or other prolematic configuration) was
created/issued.
2) you've got some funky keyboard mapping at the console/GUI
level. This would evidence itself in other editors, so if you
pull up Nano or Emacs and rapidly type "oun" in the same fashion
as you do in Vim, you'd get other funky characters. How to
remedy this lies outside vim...you'd have to check your keyboard
configuration for your console or GUI/WM
3) you've got a wonked keyboard. Highly unlikely, but a
remoooooote possibility. If the other ideas don't turn up a
solution, you might want to pilfer a second keyboard and see if
the problem persists.
Just a few ideas.
