I have been using vim since version 4, and never had this problem before.

I have always (in VI before vim and thereafter) used the following to
exchange the use of the g and G keys in my .vimrc file.

        :noremap g G
        :noremap G g

Now that I've updated to 7.0, this no longer works. It is hard to retrain
my fingers after 20 years. Help!

Now I remember. There was a discussion some time ago on vim@vim.org
about this. Read all about it at:

You are my hero!

I checked the netrw plugin, and figured out that all I had to do was introduce a
bogus map to prevent it from mapping gx.

        :map xxxxx <Plug>NetrwBrowseX

This works great! Thank you so much. I'm back in business.

Or you could simply unmap gx in your vimrc

  :unmap gx

as Tony mentioned.

You're welcome :)
