M-{ and M-} in emacs go forward/backwards a paragraph. when in code, this often translates well to moving around between fragments/functions etc. you also have C-v and M-v for forward/backward a page and then C-l for centering on the current line. i use all of those a lot... On Thu, Sep 15, 2011 a

Hey Benjamin, Thanks for the tips !! Have no fears about my passion for vim :) I'm actually using vimclojure now, and it has fabulous command completions for clojure functions, which I love. I did get the nailgun server setup, and connected. But 1) there's a lot of gymnastics involved in getti

Far out - this is great stuff. Thanks guys. Wrt to moving down (or up) a block, vim-style, what I mean is the following (all functionality in 'Command Mode'). In Vim , you press *Ctrl-d* and *Ctrl-u* to go down and up a block respectively. Depending on the size of your window, it moves the cursor

Hi Tim, back when I started diving into Clojure I had the very same plan, teach me Emacs to write Clojure. Somewhere down the road I realized that I can have almost everything, that I hoped to gain by picking up Emacs, in VIM too. VimClojure and lein-vimclojure**, once set up, delivered everything
