Vim: word vs WORD

by
  • A WORD is always delimited by whitespace.
  • A word is delimited by non-keyword characters, which are configurable. Whitespace characters aren’t keywords, and usually other characters (like ()[],-) aren’t, neither. Therefore, a word usually is smaller than a WORD; the word-navigation is more fine-grained.

Example

This "stuff" is not-so difficult!
wwww  wwwww  ww www ww wwwwwwwww    " (key)words, delimiters are non-keywords: "-! and whitespace
WWWW WWWWWWW WW WWWWWW WWWWWWWWWW   " WORDS, delimiters are whitespace only
