vim/Keyshort/Move by Line Number

• Keyshort vim vim/Keyshort
  • Go to the First or Last Line Card
    • Shortcut: gg first, G last
    • Description: Jumps to the top or bottom of the buffer. Both are recorded in the jump list, so <C-o> returns.
  • Go to an Absolute Line Number Card
    • Shortcut: 10gg or :10
    • Description: G and gg take a count as an absolute line number, so 10gg and 10G both land on line 10. :10 does the same through the command line.
  • Move a Relative Number of Lines Card
    • Shortcut: 10j down, 10k up
    • Description: Moves by a count of lines relative to the cursor. Pairs with relativenumber, which prints exactly the count to type in the gutter.
  • My Note
    • A wrinkle specific to my config: LazyVim remaps j and k to gj and gk only when no count is given. With wrap on, a bare j therefore moves by display line while 10j moves 10 real lines. That is the behaviour worth wanting, but it means the gutter count and a bare j are measuring different things on a wrapped paragraph.
    • <leader>uL toggles relativenumber when the counts are more distracting than useful — see LazyVim/Keyshort/UI/Toggle.
    • Display-line movement on its own: vim/Keyshort/Move by Display Line.
