For ages now I’ve used SHIFTO and SHIFT$ to move to the beginning and end of a line in vi.
However SHIFTO is more for opening a new line above the cursor.
Is there any command which just takes you to the start of a line?
You can use ^ or 0 (Zero) in normal mode to move to the beginning of a line.
^ moves the cursor to the first non-blank character of a line
0 always moves the cursor to the “first column”
You can also use Shifti to move and switch to Insert mode.
