You can use universal-argument. There are two ways to move 3 words forward:

• C-u3M-f
• C-3M-f

But that's usually slower than doing M-f 3 times. You know you don't have release M, right?

I do not know what vim's civ does, but to go to a word just search for it with C-s. If you like to jump around have a look at Ace Jump. It works like the follow links feature of browser plugins like vimperator. With it you can jump to lines, word or even chars.

Ok, I don't think there is a built-in for that. Maybe this function helps:

(defun delete-word-at-point () "Delete word at point." (interactive) (let* ((p (point)) (beg (+ p (skip-syntax-backward "w_"))) (end (+ beg (skip-syntax-forward "w_")))) (kill-region beg end))) 

Put it in your ~/.emacs and bind to where you would like it. Maybe M-.:

(global-set-key (read-kbd-macro "M-.") 'delete-word-at-point)
