join lines keeping cursor position (normal mode)

7 years ago

The normal command J and gJ are normally used to join lines with and without any space between the joined lines, but the cursor moves to the joining point. Using this map the cursor keeps its position. (Pay attention to the lowercase letters in the map instead of uppercase ones)

nnoremap <Leader>j :join<cr>
nnoremap <Leader>gj :join!<cr>
