> Seems obvious I'd want to map hjkl to gh gj gk gl. I do more writing than coding and find that rather than remapping h, j, k, and l, it can be more useful to remap the up, down, home, and end keys:
noremap <Up> gk noremap <Down> gj noremap <Home> g0 noremap <End> g$ That way, you keep the (very useful) default Vim movement commands but also get convenient commands to move by screen line that work in the same way as other programs. I also map the spell checker to F7 (which is used for spell checking in a few other programs) and map the "word count" command to F8 for convenience. map <F7> :set spell! spell? spl=en_gb<CR> map <F8> g<C-g> As for using a fixed line length limit, that really depends on what you plan to do with your text. I usually leave paragraphs as single lines: it saves reformatting them with every edit and makes it easy to import the text into a word processor if required. It is very easy to reformat the whole file to a fixed line length later if you are using, for example, LaTeX. I hope that is helpful. Of course, these are just my opinions. The truly great thing about Vim is that you can use it pretty much any way you want! John --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
