This will hopefully be an easy question or two... An upgraded version of vim was installed on our systems recently, and some tricks that I'm used to are no longer functional, such as: "[a large integer, say N] <up>" to quickly get to the top of the file that I am editting, "[N] <down>" to quickly get to the last line of the file (similarly, <PageUp> and <PageDown> could be used). Also, while part way through a file, "[N] dd" or "[N] d <Enter>" was a handy way of deleting all remaining lines in the file.
The new version of vim does not seem to let me do this anymore. Specifically, if the N value that I enter (typically 9999) is larger than the number of lines involved, then vim now just beeps to signal that it won't do what I would like to do. Is there some easy way of getting vim to accept these commands once again? Thanks, - David.
