		gnosis on Jan 26, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Show HN: A New Basic Vim Motion You're missing out on using the normal meaning of ; which is really useful. I prefer to map the space bar to : instead. The space bar is not usually mapped to anything, so you wouldn't be masking any other function by mapping it. Also, for jumping long distances, you should really try PreciseJump or EasyMotion. (mentioned elsewhere in this thread)

Reading your comment I have just mapped

"space" to ":"

":" to ","

That makes sense. Now ; and shift-: works in pair how n and shift-N works in pair.

Good idea, I have just remapped mm (mmw feels natural in Dvorak) to : and my pinkies are gonna be thanking you two many times over.
