:: onoremap makes sense, xmap doesn't work, because visual mode is exited. One could possibly get around it by using an <expr> mapping.[[User:Chrisbra|Chrisbra]] ([[User talk:Chrisbra|talk]]) 09:53, July 1, 2013 (UTC)

In normal mode, typing gm moves the cursor to the middle of the current screen line. With 'wrap' on, a long line may be wrapped so it appears on several screen lines. Typing gm moves the cursor to the middle of the current line on the screen (or to the end of the line, if it ends before the middle of the screen).

This tips remaps gm so the cursor is moved to the middle of the current physical line. Any leading or trailing whitespace is ignored: the cursor moves to the middle of the text between the first and last non-whitespace characters.

Code

function! s:Gm()
  execute 'normal! ^'
  let first_col = virtcol('.')
  execute 'normal! g_'
  let last_col  = virtcol('.')
  execute 'normal! ' . (first_col + last_col) / 2 . '|'
endfunction
nnoremap <silent> gm :call <SID>Gm()<CR>
onoremap <silent> gm :call <SID>Gm()<CR>
