And if you are writing `norm 1G` somewhere (e.g. in a plugin), then
just write it as `normal! 1G` (with bang). Bisecting vimrc is a last
resort if more adequate techniques do not work:

1. In scripts/plugins/etc - something you have saved on your file
system just follow best practices which include things like "do not
use :normal, use :normal!". If not working 1G is not causing you any
problems outside of such scripts (i.e. when you type `1G` in place of
using `normal`, in case you do type this) then there is no need to
bother.
2. There are just two characters in your command which may cause
problems: `1` and `G`. Just check `:verbose map 1` and `:verbose map
G`.

I do not remember last time I had to use bisecting.
