vim/Keyshort/Scroll/Page and Half Page

• Keyshort vim vim/Keyshort vim/Keyshort/Scroll
  • Scroll a Full Page Card
    • Shortcut: <C-f> forward, <C-b> backward
    • Description: Moves the view a whole screen at a time. The Mnemonic is forward and backward.
  • Scroll a Half Page Card
    • Shortcut: <C-d> down, <C-u> up
    • Description: Moves the view half a screen, keeping the cursor's relative position so context is never entirely lost. The Mnemonic is down and up.
  • My Note
    • Half-page is the one to default to: a full page leaves no overlap between the old and new view, so <C-d> / <C-u> keep orientation while <C-f> / <C-b> cover ground faster.
    • In my LazyVim config <C-f> and <C-b> are taken over by nvim/Plugin/snacks.nvim's smooth scroll, which animates the same movement rather than changing it.
    • Easy to confuse with <C-o> / <C-i>, which move through the jump list rather than the buffer — see vim/Keyshort/Jump/Back and Forward.
