It's also not just about hitting gq or Shift-Q but being ready for the motion too. I mostyly do gqj, gqip, etc and that is a lot faster when not moving for SHIFT. However as Bram said, people who has a .vimrc won't be affected and if I'm the only one feeling like this then nevermind :) -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
