Move your cursor to the space preceding the "this" at the end of the
first line. Type
r
then hit Enter. That will move "this" to a new line below the first
line. The cursor will be at the start of that new line. Now type
J
That will join the new line and the line below it to form one line.
An alternative approach would be to set your 'textwidth' to your
longest desired line length, then with the cursor on the first line,
type
gqj
to reformat the two lines together, obeying the 'textwidth' setting,
or type
gqip
to reformat the entire paragraph. See
:help gq
:help gw
:help ip
