Recommendation

Configurations to cursor movement are not done with this plugin!

Jumping "up" or "down" relative lines with wrapped text is confusing when some lines are skipped.

These mappings jump between lines one at a time:

vim.keymap.set("n", "j", "gj")
vim.keymap.set("v", "j", "gj")
vim.keymap.set("n", "k", "gk")
vim.keymap.set("v", "k", "gk")

Going to the "start" or "end" of a line that spans multiple rows often misses the mark.

These mappings go to the shown break in the line:

vim.keymap.set("n", "$", "g$")
vim.keymap.set("v", "$", "g$")
vim.keymap.set("n", "0", "g0")
vim.keymap.set("v", "0", "g0")
vim.keymap.set("n", "g$", "$")
vim.keymap.set("v", "g$", "$")
vim.keymap.set("n", "g0", "0")
vim.keymap.set("v", "g0", "0")
