  1. For that first example, I wouldn't use `dw` because then you have to go back one or possibly more had you used a different example line, I'd use `de` because it stops at the end of the word. If you really need to see the text as you're moving it, plugins exist for Vim to do just that. I also would avoid those single line mappings as it'd be better implemented as a function. Maybe do a custom build of Vim with some other language enabled, since it can use Python and I really want to see someone use an all Python .vimrc because that would be hilarious.

  2. Backwards doesn't deal with spaces correctly if you're on the last word on a line. I've never had a need for these, but I don't do any novel writing type things, mostly just writing code and the occasional readme file.
