Correct -- Either the OP has a mapping, or mis-typed "shift+J"/"capital J" which does as described (joins with extra whitespace. :help J :help gJ I find that by the time I think about whether I want whitespace added or not, typing the "g" is less overhead than remembering a non-standard mapping, so I just use the stock J/gJ when joining. As an aside, it can also be done as an Ex command, using either :j :j! which can be nice in a global command like :g/pattern/,+3j to join every line matching /pattern/ with the following 3 lines. -tim -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
