Uh-oh, I got Torek on my case now...

I just looked for it.  '_' is identical to '^', and the guide lists
the latter.  I don't know how you can say it's line-oriented, though.
(Firstly, one doesn't expect such esoterica in this reference, it's
the sort of place where system calls are listed only by arguments
and declaration...)  I tried it out, and it just goes to the first
nonblank _character_ in a line (whereas '0' can send the cursor
to stand on a tab, '_' or '^' can't.)  Sounds like they're all
character-oriented to me...

The only thing that bugs me, and only rarely, is that vi doesn't unnerstand
that the first word in a line is right next to the last word in the
previous line: very annoying if you accidentally hit the <cr>, or bung
the last letter of a word, reflexively hit a space, and the autowrap
puts the <cr> in for you.

BTW, I just noticed (because I never looked before) that the 'ZZ' command
is not in there.  Makes me wonder, but not enough to go abuse my
paranoia with Emacs.  What do you do when you're eating a burger and
finishing a report?  I can do anything quickly with one hand (okay,
there's a straightline fer ya...).  Anybody know the hardest command in
Emacs to accomplish with one hand?  I'm not familiar enough with it
to know.  I'll go look for the hardest in vi, and meet ya at the summit.

P.S. ...I think in vi the hardest is <ctrl-0D>...  nope!  I tried it:
you can do 0<ctrl-d> and it's the same."
