- [Instructor] When you edit text with VIM,
you jump around a lot with motion commands.
For example, let's open sherlock.txt.
Vim sherlock.txt.
We can move to the next sentence with the regular braces.
We can move to the next paragraph with the curly braces.
We can move to a specific line
with colon and the line number.
And so forth.
VIM give us the option to move backward and forward
in this jump list.
You can use Control to move backward,
and you can move Control + I to move forward
in the jump list.
I find this feature very helpful.
Lot of times, when programming, I just move to see
the clearation of a variable, and then use Control + L
to go back to where I was editing.
If you're curious, you can view the jump list
with colon:jumps.
