Sometimes I'm using vimdiff and want to grab code and drop it in a 3rd window/buffer for later reference. When that window is open, though, just about everything is identified as a diff (because it's purposely different than the other two files). How can I open a window in non-diff mode while using vimdiff? ...

Hi, sorry for this seemingly simple question - vim super-newbie here. When I switch to command mode in vim, the cursor seems to move one character back when it's at the end of or on a word, and when I go to the end-of-line with $, it does not go to the actual end of line but one character before the end of the last word, and l ("el") doe...
