Subject: Re: Some basic Vim commands
Is there a single command to delete all initial whitespace on a line?
:left<CR>
Is there any command to the effect of "find the next number"?
/\d<CR>
take this word and the next two words, and send them down 3 newlines.
This one is unclear. Do you want to create a new line with just those
two words? Do you want to insert them in an existing line? Etc.

/\d<CR> is fine for finding a number if it is being done by the
operator. Not so clever as part of a function - unless it is clear that
you are starting outside a number. In particular not between the
mantissa and exponent of a floating point number in scientific notation.
Also what about numbers that start with a minus sign or a decimal point?
The latter wd seem to be managed with /[.-]*\d<CR> (unless I've been
caught out by vim's strange escape strategy).
