Is it possible to specify the symbols where cursor will stop after pressing Ctrl-Left/Ctrl-Right keys in VIM? Is it possible to make it's behaviour like in windows?

Hi there guys, I'm locked in using C# and I don't like it one bit. I have to start branching out to better myself as a professional and as a person, so I've decided to start making things in my own time using Python. The problem is, I've basically programmed only in C#. What IDE should I use to make programs using Python? My goal is to...
I have a file with some accents, and VIM displays them as "~V" characters. The "od -bc" command tells me the characters are charcode 226. I want to substitute them using VIM.

i'm wondering if emacs has these cursor movement commands built in or if i'm going to have to write them or find a snippet somewhere. i find them pretty spiffy and use them in vim regularly. i haven't found them in emacs' documentation so far. in vim, they look like this: shift-h -> move cursor to the top of the screen shift-m -> move c...

Okay, suppose we have a line of text: [s]tackoverflow rocks where the brackets show the location of the cursor, in normal mode. After pressing tr, you get: stackov[e]rflow rocks Now for the fun part.
