For jumping to line within the screen, use relative jump eg: 5k
, 12j
.
To achieve this you need to set the option relativenumber
to true
first, and then your screen will look like this:
5 the line you want to go
4
3
2
1
0 the line your cursor at
1
2
3
In this case you just look at the line you want to go and then use the number of that line as prefix, so that would be 5k
.
As for jumping to line outside the screen, use <C-U>
and <C-D>
to scroll half of the screen, or <C-B>
and <C-F>
to scroll a screen.
These two way of vertical moving is much more efficient than the continuous k
and j
.
I'm new to Vim and it's annoying to just see "You pressed the k key too soon" without an alternative to scrolling down with k.
