I found that moving between empty lines is the nicest way to navigate most code across all programming languages, markup languages and just regular text. I don’t have to think, I don’t have to count, I just move and select text big chunks at a time… (not in vim, but I first saw someone have key bindings for this in vim)

    { [count] paragraphs backward.  exclusive motion.
    } [count] paragraphs forward.  exclusive motion.

What does exclusive motion mean here?

This is the one thing I brought from my time of trying out vim.

I have now set all my editors to move by paragraph with ctrl+up/dn. It fits so well together with ctrl+left/right that I think it should be standard behaviour. I also set up ctrl+shift+up/dn to select, of course.

It's even simpler with Vim - just one keystroke - { or }.
