3fh

Anonymous says: "Want to move to the 3rd occurrence of the letter 'h'? Press 3fh." This does not work.

It probably doesn't work when there aren't 3 h's on the line...

Moving over sentences and paragraphs

I have a suggestion. In the section about moving over words, sentences and paragraphs I would try to make the difference between parentheses and braces more obvious. Since I mistook ) for }, an enigma only google could solve.

e.g. Now, use the whole text and try out moving by paragraphs. Press } (brace) to move to the next paragraph and { (brace) to move to the previous paragraph.

Done! Thanks for the feedback -- Swaroop 08:08, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Quick response

It is useful to try everything in practice anyway and I like that here it's always possible to find something new. :)

Re:

I would appreciate more visual materials, to make your blog more attractive, but your writing style really compensates it. But there is always place for improvement

Keys

I don't know if it will be useful, but it might be nice to mention that on older keyboards, the arrow keys were on the hjkl keys. You can fairly easily find pictures on the internet to back that up.

Make your mark

Under the "Make your mark" Section, I think there has a error:

> Use ma to create a mark named 'a'. Move the cursor to wherever you want, for example 4j.

I think it is:

Use "m" to create a mark name 'a'. Move the cursor to wherever you want, for example 4j.

I think it's 'm' instead of ma. But I am not sure.
