Strange. My vimrc includes the following:


" Up, Down move up/down by "screen lines"
" j k (default) move down/up by "file lines"
map <Down> gj
map <Up> gk


and it does what I expect: I normally use 'wrap' on, and this makes jk
move by "file" lines while <Up> <Down> move by "screen" lines, as
mentioned in the comments. Nothing unexpected.

Try the following (after starting gvim with the mappings you listed
above, defined only in the vimrc):

:verbose map j
:verbose map k

Maybe it can help you track down the cause of the trouble.


Best regards,
Tony.
