   why does '3J' not function the same as 'JJJ' in !vim? it joins 3 lines instead of 4. notice too that '0J', '1J' and '2J' function the same

     @eightyeight I thought in !vim you needed to do 3-i-j-esc to do what you suggest. Or 3-a-j-esc alternatively...

     @ryanweal no. i wish not to insert the letter 'j', but join lines with the 'J' command. read: command mode, not insert mode. !vim

     @eightyeight I think #vim tries to be more human than logical: nJ=concatenate n lines. 0 and 1 are exceptions.

     @eightyeight Agree that it requires less computation fro your mind. And JJJJ.. = Do conctenation of 2 lines n times
