Is there anyway to have vim not count special characters as words?

Question

I'm using VIM do alot of work for me using the macros.

There's alot of text in columns and I want the macro to move between columns effortlessly by pressing the w key to "move to the beginning of the next word"

For example:

DataSourceName            string                       ""   
DetailFields              []string                          
DynamicControlBorder      boolean                 empty  may be void 
EscapeProcessing          boolean                    True   
FetchDirection            long                       1000   
FetchSize                 long                         12   
Filter                    string                       ""   
GroupBy                   string                       ""   
HavingClause              string                       ""

However when I do this, VIM only does this for letters; whenever it encounters a "[" or a " it interprets this as another word, messing up the macro because it now appears that there is an additional column.

Is there any setting I can change to make vim ignore the special characters and treat them just like the letters by skipping over them?

I found an even better answer to this question over at superuser.com:

Answer 1

You could make the special characters a part of word, see the iskeyword option. In your case you could simply try the following commands:

:set iskeyword+=[
:set iskeyword+=]

Answer 2

The W command (Shift+W) moves to the next word delimited only by spaces, not whatever Vim is configured to consider a "word" (as unshifted w does).
