I use j and k a lot, of course. I like to use - and because they go to the first non-blank character on the line. There's also underscore, which I have never used. _ [count] - 1 lines downward, on the first non-blank character |linewise|. Perhaps I should try mapping that one. > I have "+" and "-" remapped to "O" and "o" > respectively followed by for adding lines above/below the > current line.

Re: inserting newlines
one issue that both of us have is that we create newlines with o or O and then go back to normal mode immediately afterwards. I have this mapping noremap i in my vimrc, so I *do* do it with one keystroke (the Enter in normal mode). That's an idea! I use a lot in normal mode to move down a line, but I could map the other key which does the same thing, '+'. It is also easy to remember, as meaning, add a line. I think you may be the first person I've met who uses the key for that purpose on a regular basis :) [ed: as I typed this, a second email came in from another person who uses ] But yes, , "+" and "-" are keys that mostly duplicate the behavior of "j"/"k" keys, so I find them good candidates for remapping. I have "+" and "-" remapped to "O" and "o" respectively followed by for adding lines above/below the current line. But any mix of those keys would be usable for such purposes. -tim
