Indent file

Use gg=G to indent all file

Move forward or backward in jump list

Simply use Ctrl-i or Ctrl-o to do this. Also check help: :help jumplist for more.

Basic help navigation

Use Ctrl-T and Ctrl-] to move backward and forward in help. Ctrl-] also opens new link in help.

Last edit place

To jump to last edit place use ’. or gi - the last one works only when nocompatibile is on and enters edit mode 

Esc substitute in Vim

Only reason I do not like to use vim was Esc key. It distracts me to hit it all the time. But now, I found that C-[ is addnational Esc and C-c cancel insert mode. So I’m back to vim!

I also use Caps Lock as Control - much more confortable.
