I was used to Home End getting me to the start and end of lines in Insert mode  from use in Windows and I think Linux   which Mac doesn t support   This is particularly annoying because when I m using vim on a remote system  I also can t easily do it   After some painful trial and error  I came up with these  vimrc lines which do the same thing  but bound to Ctrl-A for the start of the line and Ctrl-D for the end of the line    For some reason  Ctrl-E I guess is reserved or at least I couldn t figure a way to bind it    Enjoy    imap  lt Char-1 gt   lt Char-15 gt  normal 0 lt Char-13 gt   imap  lt Char-4 gt   lt Char-15 gt  normal   lt Char-13 gt    There s a good chart here for the ASCII control character codes here for others as well   http   www physics udel edu  watson scen103 ascii html  You can also do Ctrl-V   Ctrl- as well  but that doesn t paste as well to places like this

The main question - end of line    goes to the end of line  remains in command mode  A goes to the end of line  switches to insert mode  Conversely - start of line  technically the first non-whitespace character     goes to the start of line  remains in command mode  I  uppercase i  goes to the start of line  switches to insert mode  Further - start of line  technically the first column irrespective of whitespace   0  zero  goes to the start of line  remains in command mode  0i  zero followed by lowercase i  goes the start of line  switches to insert mode  For those starting to learn vi  here is a good introduction to vi by listing side by side vi commands to typical Windows GUI Editor cursor movement and shortcut keys   vi editor for Windows users

Also note the distinction between line  or perhaps physical line  and screen line  A line is terminated by the End Of Line character    n    A screen line is whatever happens to be shown as one row of characters in your terminal or in your screen  The two come apart if you have physical lines longer than the screen width  which is very common when writing emails and such   The distinction shows up in the end-of-line commands as well      and 0 move to the end or beginning of the physical line or paragraph  respectively  g  and g0 move to the end or beginning of the screen line or paragraph  respectively    If you always prefer the latter behavior  you can remap the keys like this    noremap 0 g0  noremap   g

In many cases  when we are inside a string we are enclosed by a double quote  or while writing a statement we don t want to press escape and go to end of that line with arrow key and press the semicolon    just to end the line  Write the following line inside your vimrc file   imap  lt C-l gt   lt Esc gt  a   What does the line say  It maps Ctrl l to a series of commands  It is equivalent to you pressing Esc  command mode      end of line   a  append  at once
