I have been trying to do :noremap j k and :noremap k j which works but instead of going up it goes slanted up and down. I want j to move up and k to move down which is opposite in vim. I also tried :map j k and :map k j which tells that i m doing recursive mapping and thus everything fails.
Ok, so i got the answer. Noremap does the work. Also, when in vim if something like this is there,
1
2
3
4
5
even with remapping and nothing, the both times cursor go from 1,2,3,4,5.

This behavior you have with the cursor going to the first word of the line is not default behavior by Vim, most likely caused by a plug-in... Try
vim --clean, I believe you will no longer reproduce that behavior with that setting. – filbranden♦ Jun 12 at 14:00
noremapfor non-recursive. The firstnin your suggestion stands for « normal » – D. Ben Knoble♦ Jun 7 at 12:47nnoremap(that’s two ns)? Do you want this only in normal mode, or visual and operator-pending as well? – D. Ben Knoble♦ Jun 7 at 12:47jandkthough? I'd say the most likely cause for this might be concealed or full width characters. I don't think the mapping is what's doing that... – filbranden♦ Jun 7 at 14:18
