Also, holding down the Ctrl key and pressing either Backspace or Delete keys delete word-by-word. The features mentioned above work differently and are somewhat clumsy in Vim - requiring many keystrokes and often a change from insert to normal mode and back from visual. Some features do not exist. Hence, I thought of combining these features with Vim as a way of bringing Vim closer to the standard editing tools most textboxes have. Plus, this would be a great way for new users to get acquainted with Vim. =========================

abstract	Also, holding down the Ctrl key and pressing either Backspace or Delete keys delete word-by-word. The features mentioned above work differently and are somewhat clumsy in Vim - requiring many keystrokes and often a change from insert to normal mode and back from visual. Some features do not exist. Hence, I thought of combining these features with Vim as a way of bringing Vim closer to the standard editing tools most textboxes have. Plus, this would be a great way for new users to get acquainted with Vim. These mappings utilize the Ctrl & Shift keys that may NOT work with terminal versions of Vim. They SHOULD work with GVim. I have set up these mappings to work just the way I would like it to do. They may not conform to how it actually is when the same keystrokes are performed in another editor (e.g. textboxes in Windows or X11). Try it and see if you like it :) No, v is not the same as v. Both 's are necessary to give its effect. I'm slightly dissatisfied with the mapping done when the cursor is at the end of a line. It pulls the next line up and _deletes the first word_. Any ideas on how to prevent it from taking the first word, but still take the eol?
