We currently have _ and g_ that are similar to ^ and $, except that ^ doesn't take a count. _ goes downward or stays on the same line. To move up, you can use -, which always goes up, it won't stay on the same line. It would make more sense for me if ^ went downward rather than upward when given a count. This would be consistent with existing commands. But I won't be extremely disappointed if it goes upward instead, it would just be one more oddity in an editor full of such quirks. :-) -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
