Given I have a long phrase, say, in line :12, as this “example”:

11 foo bar
12 aasdf aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
13 another line
14 and another line

In vim, the :12 line would be “splitted”, but, given my cursor is located as pointed in this “situation”: 

12 aasdf <MY CURSOR IS HERE>
   aaaaaa.......
   aaaaa...zzzzzz..
   zzzzz....
13 another line

When I press <down> key my cursor would go to :13 line.

I’d like to walk through the long line using up and down keys, as other text editors, and not just jump to next line.

Could anyone help?
Thanks in advance!

    Use the commands gj and gk.

    Also, pressing g<down arrow> or g<up arrow> will do the same.
