If you don't like the fact that when you press Up and Down on a wrapped line, you get to the next physical line instead of the next line on the screen, you can do something like this:
imap <silent> <Down> <C-o>gj imap <silent> <Up> <C-o>gk nmap <silent> <Down> gj nmap <silent> <Up> gk
Comments[]
Or you can just jump into paste mode.
In paste mode you will be able to navigate from line to line without the cursor jumping around *and* you won't have the long text wrap if you put a space in, which usually is not a desired effect.
:set paste or :set pastetoggle=<F9> (or whatever keybinding you want) in your .vimrc
My current settings are:
map <silent> <Up> gk imap <silent> <Up> <C-o>gk map <silent> <Down> gj imap <silent> <Down> <C-o>gj map <silent> <home> g<home> imap <silent> <home> <C-o>g<home> map <silent> <End> g<End> imap <silent> <End> <C-o>g<End> setlocal linebreak setlocal nolist setlocal display+=lastline
But I'm still trying to find a way to avoid "jumps" when I'm scrolling and a wrapped line enters or exits the screen...
