Vim has the nice shortcut gqap that reflows the current paragraph to fit within 80 characters without wasting space with lines that are too short. It even keeps indentation. Unfortunately it considers paragraphs to be marked by empty lines and considers everything that is not separated by an empty line to be in the same paragraph.

(I think it may be a setting?) I actually started to forget about it since few Vim emulations do it correctly. The problem with learning Vim is not that it's hard to do—it's that you have to keep doing it. This guide will break that cycle, ensuring this is the last time you will learn it. There are dozens of Vim references online, but most of them either go ninja straight away, or start basic and don't go much deeper.

gq{motion} % format the line that {motion} moves over {Visual}gq % format the visually selected area gqq % format the current line I'd suggest you check out :help gq and :help gw.

Vim (and GVim) are ASCII text editors, not word processors. If you're concerned about words wrapping at the end of a line, or doing any kind of formatting, you probably want to use a word processor instead (such as Kate, KWrite, OpenOffice Write, etc.) Vim is more for writing code and other strictly ASCII stuff.

Changing two lines the same way? VIM to the rescue. Vim newbie here.

Sometime last year I started doing most text editing in Vim. I was recently copying text from multiple Google Docs documents into Vim and I wanted to make the text friendly to work with in Vim. This means that I wanted to separate paragraphs with a space, remove leading indentation from paragraphs, and insert newlines to separate long lines (I like my lines 80 characters wide).

To Reproduce Start recording a macro to a register qn (the register doesn't matter) Attempt to fo gq{motion} % format the line that {motion} moves over {Visual}gq % format the visually selected area gqq % format the current line I don't often reformat text, apart from the plain gq so this is probably something simple, but just don't seem to have the luck of finding it in the help. Anyways, I have the text that looks like In VIM, how do I break one really long line into multiple lines , In normal mode, you follow gq with a motion. For example, gql will split one line to the currently set width.

:setl tw=80 gggqG. In the above, gggqG is gg (go to the first line) then gq (format) to G (the last line). You need to choose the right motion.

wrap tells Vim to word wrap visually (as opposed to changing the text in the buffer When using Vim as your editor of choice, even for email processing - as I do - it is often unpleasing how some email clients quote the email body produced by mailers such as Outlook. The lines often span across multiple visual lines and it's difficult to reply on certain parts of it.

Curious about that command. Think I'll hold off, though, on using vim to compose email. For now anyway.
