I'm pretty new to vimscript, and I wrote this little function to map H
so that the cursor will go to the first non-whitespace character of the line, or to the beginning of the line if the cursor is already at the first non-whitespace character. I just want to a) share this for anyone who might find this useful, and b) ask if there's a more efficient way to do this. I feel like there should be some more in-built way to do this.
function! HFunc()
let colnum1 = col(".")
execute "normal! ^"
let colnum2 = col(".")
if(colnum1 == colnum2)
execute "normal! ^0"
endif
endfunction
nnoremap <silent>H :call HFunc()<cr>
H
part of your question is completely irrelevant andH
is a pretty useful command so it's not really a good idea to advocate remapping it to something as futile. I suggest replacing everywhere with "some shortcut".
