Some vim keys I use a lot that seem not to be mentioned too often:
{ and } to go back and forwards a "para"
^U and ^D to up and down a half a page
{ and } are particularly useful with verb keys such as y, d, < and > (outdent and indent). And ! (bang) to reformat text with `fmt`
I cry a little inside when I see people go through pages with the j,k or up and down keys.

- emmelaich 8y agoCool. There's always stuff I didn't know about. I think that on most terminals/vim combos the arrow keys will also move in insert mode.
