Word-based movement can serve as a quick way to get around locally in Vim. I most often use w and b for this kind of movement. While w and b move me to the beginning of the next and previous word, respectively, I find that sometimes it would be more convenient if I were at the end of a word.

The e and ge commands serve this purpose well. e will move me to the end of the next word and ge will move me to the end of the previous word.
