 Simple macro with vim:
 Usecase: Join evey other line in a file to the previous one. 
 We can do this easily using macros:
 1. start recording a macro 'q': qqJjq
 2. replay the macro 'q' 500 times: 500@q

 (Actually it is not a macro called 'q', it is a named register called 'q'. instead of interactively fill that register as in (1), you could also do :let @q = "Jj" and then do 2.)

 To go to a charcter in a line:
 f<character>
 Example: f{ will take you to the first { in the line (from the cursor position)
