Change delimiters for navigating word-wise?

Most likely, system-wide won't work. VIM is easy, you can set the characters that define the identifier using the iskeyword setting. In your case, there is too much in it, and you need to remove the ones you do need, or redefine it by adding the ones you do want.Eg: :set isk=9,32,50-51 This will set keyword detection to spaces, tabs and parentheses.

However, in VIM you can jump based on word and WORDs, where the first is defined by the abovementioned iskeyword setting, while the latter will jump over all non-blank characters. Maybe, that's the motion you want. You can read more about this in the help (:help w).

Tchrist: even though, navigating using the arrow keys goes against the philosophy of VIM, it is a good start learning to use VIM. This blogpost makes an argument for keeping the learning curve low, in contrary to what most people hear. Assuming that the guy who asked the question just started to use VIM.

W/W - move to start of next word/WORD e/E - move to end of next word/WORD b/B - move to beginning of previous word/WORD ge/gE - move to end of previous word/WORD You can read up on the difference between a word and a WORD by running :help word.

Yeah, really. I had no idea that Control-LEFT_ARROW did anything. It certainly seems a pain in the butt.

The whole point in vi is to let you keep your fingers on the home row even for editing, so that you can touich type quickly and without thinking. Playing Twister with the keyboard hitting weird chord combinations will break your Zen. WEB/web movement ommands are definitely where it’s at.

I use ft/FT quite a bit, too. I’ve used vi for going on 30 years now, so it’s in muscle-memory. – tchrist Apr 15 at 13:22.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
