You've already gotten suggestions for mapping gj/gk, but there's also g^ and g$ to go to the start/end of "screen lines" (as opposed to lines delimited with hard line-breaks). Also gm and g0. See the :help entry for each. Somebody mentioned f, F, t, and T; I want to reiterate how useful they are. Also useful are ';' and ',' which repeat or reverse the last f or F command (also t and T but you need to give them a count to keep moving in the same direction). > Finally, can I specify a default font?

The best way I've found to do this is, while editing your .gvimrc, with the desired font set, enter in insert mode: let guifont= then still in insert mode, type CTRL-R followed by = to bring up the "expression register". Finish by entering &guifont in the prompt and pressing Enter. This should insert the current value of the option into your buffer. This takes advantage of a few things: 1. You can access Vim option values in expressions/scripts using & followed by the option name. I'm not sure of the help reference on this, the closest I can come is :help :let-& 2. Inserting the contents of a register, :help i_CTRL-R 3. Specifically, the expression register, :help @= (see :help registers as well for more that are available) -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
