RE: Silly Question
Vowels are a problem. Unless you have an escape in your name, a, i and o are boring letters. I know someone named Veerle and her name is actually quite destructive, overwriting an entire line with l. What's the most interesting name anyone can find, and also the most damaging? I think my friend :1,$d would win that particular contest...

RE: Silly Question
Max: insert an 'x' on the line in the middle of the current buffer
Dyckhoff: delete to end of line and insert ff on a new line above ('k' goes
up a line, 'o' starts insertion on new line below)
:)
I think it would be fun to find a real name which did something actually
interesting in vim.

Has anyone else heard of the vi name game?
I was talking to an old crusty developer, and he said they used to
open a random (unimportant) text file in vi. Then before typing in
their name (and only their name, no going into insert mode first),
they would have to guess what their name would tell vi to do. Then
type in their name, and see if they were right. They assumed a vanilla
vi with no mappings etc.
For instance my name: Dudley
1. D - Would delete to the end of line
2. u - undo the deletion
3. dl - delete to the end of the line
4. e - jump to the end of the next word
5. y - start a yank, but never complete it since no follow up key was pressed.
Dang I was wrong about step 3, it will only delete the next character
not the entire line.
Enjoy,
Dudley

Jason joins the current line and the next, then insert son before the start of the appended line.
