i got some situation like this (in normal mode)

 ... \} ]

i want to make it 

 ... \}]

my way is use i to insert before the ] and then ctrl+w or backspace to delete the CR.

is there a more efficient way to make this change?(like cursor on the } and delete CR after it?)

thanks!

If you don't mind the extra space, it's very simple. While you are on the line with \}, you just press J. It doesn't matter where you are on the line, it will join the next line with it and delimit with a space and place the cursor at the space. If you don't want the space, press x then you're done.

So just J if you want the space, or Jx without space and you can start anywhere on the \} line.

I don't think Jx works. I think it deletes the wrong char. You are right about anywhere on the line, though.
@Jim, in vim version 7.3 it does the correct character (I tried it on several different cases, including the OP's example). What version of vim are you using?

Goto the second line with \} on it.
Hit Cap J
Hit escape and x out any spaces as needed.

Capital J J-ions the two lines together.

And another way, because that's Vim we are talking about:
