Vim, how to delete from CURRENT cursor position, until end of line and next N lines

D (=Shift+D)

The command DW will delete from the current cursor position to the beginning of the next word character. The command D$ (note, that's a dollar sign, not an 'S') will delete from the current cursor position to the end of the current line. Shift+D is a synonym for D$.

In vim, use gp and gP instead of p and P to leave the cursor after the pasted text. If you want to swap the bindings, put the following lines in your .vimrc:

noremap p gp
noremap P gP
noremap gp p
noremap gP P

Strangely, in vim, p and P leave the cursor on the last pasted character for a character buffer, even in compatible mode.

I don't know how to change this in other vi versions.
