Jumps
I’ve been familiar with c-o and c-i for a while, but I have not used them effectively, some things were missing.
gi— Insert text in the same position as where Insert mode was stopped last time in the current buffer.
The following mappings simplify working with relativenumber and <count>j/<count>k:
" Change j and k to add movements to the jump list. nnoremap <expr> k (v:count > 1 ? "m'". v:count : '') . 'gk' nnoremap <expr> j (v:count > 1 ? "m'". v:count : '') . 'gj'

inoremap and white spaces
Just found out that white spaces matter in inoremap mappings, the following are not equivalent (notice the space after <Esc>):
inoremap <c-q> <Esc> :call Quit()<cr> inoremap <c-q> <Esc>:call Quit()<cr>
The extra white space after <Esc> was causing the command to fail when positioned on the last character of a file. I don’t know why, but it works fine after removing the space.
