Dave,

My biggest problem is code versus text editing.  I tend to hit <ESC> key too 
frequently and I think it must be a bad habit.  I tried using VIM without 
leaving insert mode and using the mouse to move around and it's much easier 
on keystrokes.  Code-editing movement is better (IMHO) without the mouse and 
this is why I use VIM for everything related to code.

My other issue with VIM is that I cannot seem to get word wrapping to work.  
Here's an example:

	This line will span beyond the edge of my sc
	reen

rather than

	This line will span beyond the edge of my
	screen

If you can suggest a configuration to get rid of this default behavior, I 
would appreciate it.  I have fiddled with :set wrap and :set wrapscan, but I 
am not getting my desired behavior.
