Yeah...following a simpler idea, it'd become something like these: imap <C-Left> <Esc>bi imap <C-Right> <Esc>wi imap <C-S-Left> <Esc>A imap <C-S-Right> <Esc>I

Yeah, believe me...I'm a shortcuts addict, so I try hard to learn the most useful of them in vim. But I don't know if you got the main idea on this, which is: * having shortcuts in *insert mode* for jumping a word (forward and backward) and going to the current line edges, without changing the mode by hand (like typing ESC), because I want something with lower cost to my hands like Ctrl + something in insert mode. And mapping ctrl + arrows would give me a very good user experience for its ease of use. > You'll be more precise with vim mappings as well. Example: > Lookup the difference e E w W. Which behaviour do you want for c-right? Yeah, I understand. That's why I really meant w for word forwarding and b for word backwarding. > I know its hard to learn something you're not used to.

I use to spend a precious time digging vim features and any other tools that could save me some valuable time in long term. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
