If I am in the middle of the function, I would like go to the very end of it in vim. I run into this problem as we sometimes have function of 500+ lines long (don't ask why).
I use vim, gvim.
but only if the function's opening and closing curly braces are the first character on the line.

You can use the "]}" command. You may have to repeat it depending on how nested you are.

the OP may also want to investigate the '%' command, which jumps to the opening or closing brace/paren/bracket that is paired with whatever is under the cursor.

Yes, % is useful as well but not for a quick jump out of a large function.

You might also be interested in [[ and ]], they take you to the beginning of a function or the start of the next function.

][ goes to the next '}' in the first column.

Make sure you're using :split and code folding to your advantage - keep a folded view at the top of the screen, unfold a function, split, edit the function, close the split window, collapse the fold.
