Here's another Vim tip, which I'm surprised it took me so long to find out. To make Vim "soft wrap" text, like Microsoft Word does, use ":set wrap linebreak textwidth=0".
In his keynote at PyCon, Eben Upton, the Executive Director of the Rasberry Pi Foundation, mentioned that not only has Minecraft been ported to the Rasberry Pi, but you can even control it with Python . Since four of my kids are avid Minecraft fans, I figured this might be a good time to teach them to program using Python. So I started yesterday with the goal of programming something cool for Minecraft and then showing it off at the San Francisco Python Meetup in the evening. The first problem that I faced was that I didn't have a Rasberry Pi. You can't hack Minecraft by just installing the Minecraft client. Speaking of which, I didn't have the Minecraft client installed either ;) My kids always play it on their Nexus 7s. I found an open source Minecraft server called Bukkit that "provides the means to extend the popular Minecraft multiplayer server." Then I found a plugin called RaspberryJuice that implements a subset of the Minecraft Pi modding API for B

That's awesome!
Finally! I can now use vim for prose as well as code. Cheers!
The only thing I wish is that it would treat soft wrapped text the way Emacs and Microsoft Word do. I.e., if you press up (i.e. k), it should go up a line on the screen, whether or not there was a \n involved. Oh well. I wonder if there's a setting for that too.
@Shannon -jj Behrens:
:map j gj
:map k gk
:map [Up] gk
:map [Down] gj
Just use '<' '>' instead of '[' and ']'
