Problem: Not easy to move to the middle of a text line.
Solution: Add the gM command. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto, closes #2070)
|gn| gn 1,2 find the next match with the last used
search pattern and Visually select it
|gm| gm 1 go to character at middle of the screenline
+|gM| gM 1 go to character at middle of the text line
|go| go 1 cursor to byte N in the buffer
|gp| ["x]gp 2 put the text [from register x] after the
cursor N times, leave the cursor after it

+ *gm* *gM*
+gM Like "g0", but to halfway the text of the line.
+ With a count: to this percentage of text in the line.
+ Thus "10gM" is near the start of the text and "90gM"
+ is near the end of the text.
+
*g$* *g<End>*
g$ or g<End> When lines wrap ('wrap' on): To the last character of

when lines wrap)
|gm| gm to middle of the screen line
+|gM| gM to middle of the line
|bar| N | to column N (default: 1)
|f| N f{char} to the Nth occurrence of {char} to the right
|F| N F{char} to the Nth occurrence of {char} to the left
g0 to first visible character in this line
g^ to first non-blank visible character in this line
- gm to middle of this line
+ gm to middle of screen line
+ gM to middle of the text in this line
g$ to last visible character in this line
- |<-- window -->|
