hm, gq} does exactly that in three keystrokes, and that without the
extra line in the .vimrc. i suppose over a lifetime you're saving a
little extra exertion, though -- after you've fd'd 25 times (once for
each character in that line you typed), you're equal, and who knows,
it might make the difference between carpal tunnel and pain-free
geeking after thirty years. ;)
