Hi all,
I was recently discussing some features of vim that I use a lot with a
friend and asking if he knew of ways to do certain things better, and
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.
So I often end up doing:
o<esc>
or
O<esc>
where it would be nice to have a single key that would do this. Is
there already such a feature, or should I just do something like
nnoremap zj o<Esc>
nnoremap zk O<Esc>
I realize that zk and zj are still two keystrokes, but they are easier
to type as it is.
Thanks!
open empty line after: any one of the three below
:put =""
o<Esc>
:normal o
open empty line before: any one of the three below
:.-1put =""
O<Esc>
:normal O
To do it with a single keystroke: use all four below:
:map <F3> o<Esc>
:map <F2> O<Esc>
:imap <F3> <End><CR>
:imap <F2> <Home><CR>
Replace <F2> and/or <F3> by any other keystroke that you would prefer to use
instead.
Best regards,
Tony.
