Moving to the first non-blank character of the line in vim
I'm having some trouble moving to the first non-blank character of a line in vim.
The usual mapping for this action is ^, but in my keyboard that accent is located with the number 6 key, so I have to press Shift + 6 to get it.
As expected, Shift + 6 doesn't take me to the first non-blank character of the line in NORMAL mode, it just prints ^ where my cursor is, and after I press any other key the ^ disappears and I'm back to where I was before.
I've been trying to map that action to some other shortcut for some time, but with no luck. I tried things like nmap <S-6> ^ too, but it didn't worked.
Has anyone had trouble with this too? I googled it but can't seem to find anyone experiencing the same problem.
Here is the VIM documentation for that shortcut, and I would also like to point out that I'm using an apple magic keyboard with "U.S. International - PC" set as the input method.
You can use ˆSpace to insert a ^ character, or you can use the _ command in vim which is equivalent.
To figure out how the keyboard layout works, use "Show Keyboard Viewer" from the menu bar. After pressing ˆ, a ^ appears on the spacebar.
