If you don't like the fact that when you press Up and Down on a wrapped line, you get to the next physical line instead of the next line on the screen, you can do something like this:

imap <silent> <Down> <C-o>gj
imap <silent> <Up> <C-o>gk
nmap <silent> <Down> gj
nmap <silent> <Up> gk

Or you can just jump into paste mode.

In paste mode you will be able to navigate from line to line without the cursor jumping around *and* you won't have the long text wrap if you put a space in, which usually is not a desired effect.

:set paste
or
:set pastetoggle=<F9> (or whatever keybinding you want) in your .vimrc

My current settings are:

map <silent> <Up> gk
imap <silent> <Up> <C-o>gk
map <silent> <Down> gj
imap <silent> <Down> <C-o>gj
map <silent> <home> g<home>
imap <silent> <home> <C-o>g<home>
map <silent> <End> g<End>
imap <silent> <End> <C-o>g<End>

setlocal linebreak
setlocal nolist
setlocal display+=lastline

But I'm still trying to find a way to avoid "jumps" when I'm scrolling and a wrapped line enters or exits the screen...

-I have the same problem in long line cases.
-That is, can vim scroll in screen lines instead of physical lines
-when one long line is about to scroll out of window (up or down)?
