    Agreed, although it's interesting to see the disassemblies. Python is a language about readability and conciseness first, performance second. I would have liked to have seen `map` …

    Good tips. Getting in the habit of explicitly searching (/) instead of scrolling is another one. On the subject of using fFtT (and other motions), there's a plugin I quite like tha…
