hmmm, this is interesting and helpful, but i have a further question.
how do you get vim (or is it even possible?) to "soft wrap" while
editing and then insert <eol> characters when you exit or write? this
would be nice in that, if you're editing a file and you remove a line or
two from a line, if there's room to fit the first word(s) from the line
after the current one, it'll move that/those word(s) to the current line
and fix everything after that. this would maked editing a paragraph much
easier. of course, maybe i should just be using emacs instead of vim
(though i do love vim).
did any of that make sense?
thanks,
pete
