I've had ; mapped to : forever.

Is there a use for `;` I'm missing out on? `;` just seems to be for stuff like "`fp` -- Oh wait, I didn't see all the p's between my cursor and the p I wanted. ; ; ; ;."

Now I use easymotion.vim which obviates that scenario.




I created vim-seek exactly for this reason, it's like f but takes always two characters, way faster than easymotion within the line (though I still use easymotion for longer distances) http://github.com/goldfeld/vim-seek


Cool! Until I found easymotion.vim, I was sort of doing a poor man's vim-seek with `/` and two chars.


For me it's often fp <something> ;. ;. ;. ;.

For example if I have a longer line I would like I could do something like f,a<cr><esc>k,.k,.k,.k,.k,.k,.


g; will move the cursor to the line of your last edit (and further through your edit history). I find it useful as a move command but also use it to remind myself of what and where my last edit was.
