Earlier quoted context omitted.

From a colleague; I haven’t tested it: --Remap for dealing with word wrap vim.keymap.set({ 'n', 'v' }, 'k', "v:count == 0 ? 'gk' : 'k'", { noremap = true, expr = true, silent = true }) vim.keymap.set({ 'n', 'v' }, 'j', "v:count == 0 ? 'gj' : 'j'", { noremap = true, expr = true, silent = true })

Is this supposed to be funny and Im not getting it? Can anyone kindly explain what am I missing out?

It is supposed to be funny, the author of the video is obviously faking seriousness while presenting a joke package for emacs. That's a kind of a sketch comedy with a computer.
