For fun use ctrl-V for command line fun.  :)  It allows you to store
command keys such as escape, enter, arrow keys, etc.

map g 0i#^[^[OB (puts a # at the beginning and then moves down a line)

^[ == ctrl-V ESC
^[OB == ctrl-C down arrow.

g/^M/s///g (Removes all of the CR/LF entries from files touched by windows)

^M == ctrl-V enter

These are just some, but they are the ones that I use all of the time.  :)
