Discover how to move around files with lightning speed using Vim's powerful navigation commands.
Forget arrow keys - Vim has superpowers for moving around your files!
Lightning-fast line navigation:
• 0 - Jump to beginning of line
• $ - Jump to end of line
• A - Jump to end of line AND enter insert mode
Precision jumping:
• 12G - Jump directly to line 12
• G - Jump to last line of file
• gg - Jump to first line of file
Why is this faster? Imagine and getting an error 'Line 247'. Instead of scrolling forever, just type 247G and you're there instantly!
Real scenario: Your config file has 100 lines, error on line 67:
67G # Instantly jump to line 67
$ # Move to end of that line
A # Start editing at the end
Muscle Memory Tip: Practice these daily - they'll become second nature and make you incredibly efficient!
