| 7 Cursor motions *cursor-motions* *navigation* | |
| 8 | |
| 9 These commands move the cursor position. If the new position is off of the | |
| 10 screen, the screen is scrolled to show the cursor (see also 'scrolljump' and | |
| 11 'scrolloff' options). | |

| 23 General remarks: | |
| 24 | |
| 25 If you want to know where you are in the file use the "CTRL-G" command | |
| 26 |CTRL-G| or the "g CTRL-G" command |g_CTRL-G|. If you set the 'ruler' option, | |
| 27 the cursor position is continuously shown in the status line (which slows down | |
| 28 Vim a little). | |
| 29 | |
| 30 Experienced users prefer the hjkl keys because they are always right under | |
| 31 their fingers. Beginners often prefer the arrow keys, because they do not | |
| 32 know what the hjkl keys do. The mnemonic value of hjkl is clear from looking | |
| 33 at the keyboard. Think of j as an arrow pointing downwards. | |
| 34 | |
| 35 The 'virtualedit' option can be set to make it possible to move the cursor to | |
| 28379 | 36 positions where there is no character or within a multi-column character (like |
| 37 a tab). | |
| 7 | 38 |
| 39 ============================================================================== | |
| 40 1. Motions and operators *operator* | |
| 41 | |
| 42 The motion commands can be used after an operator command, to have the command | |
| 43 operate on the text that was moved over. That is the text between the cursor | |
| 44 position before and after the motion. Operators are generally used to delete | |
| 45 or change text. The following operators are available: | |
| 46 | |
| 47 |c| c change | |
| 48 |d| d delete | |
| 49 |y| y yank into register (does not change the text) | |
| 50 |~| ~ swap case (only if 'tildeop' is set) | |
| 51 |g~| g~ swap case | |
| 52 |gu| gu make lowercase | |
| 53 |gU| gU make uppercase | |
| 54 |!| ! filter through an external program | |
| 55 |=| = filter through 'equalprg' or C-indenting if empty | |
| 56 |gq| gq text formatting | |
| 16808 | 57 |gw| gw text formatting with no cursor movement |
| 7 | 58 |g?| g? ROT13 encoding |
| 59 |>| > shift right | |
| 60 |<| < shift left | |
| 61 |zf| zf define a fold | |
| 3713 | 62 |g@| g@ call function set with the 'operatorfunc' option |
| 24911 | 63 *motion-count-multiplied* |
| 7 | 64 If the motion includes a count and the operator also had a count before it, |
| 65 the two counts are multiplied. For example: "2d3w" deletes six words. | |
| 24911 | 66 *operator-doubled* |
| 67 When doubling the operator it operates on a line. When using a count, before | |
| 68 or after the first character, that many lines are operated upon. Thus `3dd` | |
| 69 deletes three lines. A count before and after the first character is | |
| 70 multiplied, thus `2y3y` yanks six lines. | |
| 7 | 71 |
| 72 After applying the operator the cursor is mostly left at the start of the text | |
| 73 that was operated upon. For example, "yfe" doesn't move the cursor, but "yFe" | |
| 74 moves the cursor leftwards to the "e" where the yank started. | |
| 75 | |
| 76 *linewise* *characterwise* | |
| 77 The operator either affects whole lines, or the characters between the start | |
| 78 and end position. Generally, motions that move between lines affect lines | |
| 79 (are linewise), and motions that move within a line affect characters (are | |
| 80 characterwise). However, there are some exceptions. | |
| 81 | |
| 82 *exclusive* *inclusive* | |
| 456 | 83 A character motion is either inclusive or exclusive. When inclusive, the |
| 84 start and end position of the motion are included in the operation. When | |
| 85 exclusive, the last character towards the end of the buffer is not included. | |
| 86 Linewise motions always include the start and end position. | |
| 7 | 87 |
| 456 | 88 Which motions are linewise, inclusive or exclusive is mentioned with the |
| 89 command. There are however, two general exceptions: | |
| 7 | 90 1. If the motion is exclusive and the end of the motion is in column 1, the |
| 91 end of the motion is moved to the end of the previous line and the motion | |
| 92 becomes inclusive. Example: "}" moves to the first line after a paragraph, | |
| 93 but "d}" will not include that line. | |
| 20 | 94 *exclusive-linewise* |
| 7 | 95 2. If the motion is exclusive, the end of the motion is in column 1 and the |
| 96 start of the motion was at or before the first non-blank in the line, the | |
| 97 motion becomes linewise. Example: If a paragraph begins with some blanks | |
| 98 and you do "d}" while standing on the first non-blank, all the lines of | |
| 99 the paragraph are deleted, including the blanks. If you do a put now, the | |
| 100 deleted lines will be inserted below the cursor position. | |
| 101 | |
| 102 Note that when the operator is pending (the operator command is typed, but the | |
| 103 motion isn't yet), a special set of mappings can be used. See |:omap|. | |
| 104 | |
| 105 Instead of first giving the operator and then a motion you can use Visual | |
| 106 mode: mark the start of the text with "v", move the cursor to the end of the | |
| 107 text that is to be affected and then hit the operator. The text between the | |
| 108 start and the cursor position is highlighted, so you can see what text will | |
| 109 be operated upon. This allows much more freedom, but requires more key | |
| 110 strokes and has limited redo functionality. See the chapter on Visual mode | |
| 111 |Visual-mode|. | |
| 112 | |
| 113 You can use a ":" command for a motion. For example "d:call FindEnd()". | |
| 4229 | 114 But this can't be repeated with "." if the command is more than one line. |
| 7 | 115 This can be repeated: > |
| 116 d:call search("f")<CR> | |
| 117 This cannot be repeated: > | |
| 118 d:if 1<CR> | |
| 119 call search("f")<CR> | |
| 120 endif<CR> | |
| 4229 | 121 Note that when using ":" any motion becomes characterwise exclusive. |
| 7 | 122 |
| 15281 | 123 *forced-motion* |
| 7 | 124 FORCING A MOTION TO BE LINEWISE, CHARACTERWISE OR BLOCKWISE |
| 125 | |
| 126 When a motion is not of the type you would like to use, you can force another | |
| 127 type by using "v", "V" or CTRL-V just after the operator. | |
| 128 Example: > | |
| 129 dj | |
| 130 deletes two lines > | |
| 131 dvj | |
| 132 deletes from the cursor position until the character below the cursor > | |
| 133 d<C-V>j | |
| 134 deletes the character under the cursor and the character below the cursor. > | |
| 135 | |
| 136 Be careful with forcing a linewise movement to be used characterwise or | |
| 137 blockwise, the column may not always be defined. | |
| 138 | |
| 139 *o_v* | |
| 140 v When used after an operator, before the motion command: Force | |
| 141 the operator to work characterwise, also when the motion is | |
| 142 linewise. If the motion was linewise, it will become | |
| 143 |exclusive|. | |
| 144 If the motion already was characterwise, toggle | |
| 145 inclusive/exclusive. This can be used to make an exclusive | |
| 146 motion inclusive and an inclusive motion exclusive. | |
| 147 | |
| 148 *o_V* | |
| 149 V When used after an operator, before the motion command: Force | |
| 150 the operator to work linewise, also when the motion is | |
| 151 characterwise. | |
| 152 | |
| 153 *o_CTRL-V* | |
| 154 CTRL-V When used after an operator, before the motion command: Force | |
| 155 the operator to work blockwise. This works like Visual block | |
| 156 mode selection, with the corners defined by the cursor | |
| 157 position before and after the motion. | |
| 158 | |

362 [count]go Go to [count] byte in the buffer. Default [count] is |
| 7 | 363 one, start of the file. When giving [range], the |
| 364 last number in it used as the byte count. End-of-line | |
| 365 characters are counted depending on the current | |
| 366 'fileformat' setting. | |
| 2908 | 367 Also see the |line2byte()| function, and the 'o' |
| 368 option in 'statusline'. | |
| 7 | 369 {not available when compiled without the |
| 370 |+byte_offset| feature} | |
| 371 | |
| 372 These commands move to the specified line. They stop when reaching the first | |
| 373 or the last line. The first two commands put the cursor in the same column | |
| 374 (if possible) as it was after the last command that changed the column, | |
| 375 except after the "$" command, then the cursor will be put on the last | |
| 376 character of the line. | |
| 377 | |
| 161 | 378 If "k", "-" or CTRL-P is used with a [count] and there are less than [count] |
| 379 lines above the cursor and the 'cpo' option includes the "-" flag it is an | |
| 380 error. |cpo--|. | |

| 414 | |
| 415 These commands move over words or WORDS. | |
| 416 *word* | |
| 417 A word consists of a sequence of letters, digits and underscores, or a | |
| 418 sequence of other non-blank characters, separated with white space (spaces, | |
| 625 | 419 tabs, <EOL>). This can be changed with the 'iskeyword' option. An empty line |
| 420 is also considered to be a word. | |
| 7 | 421 *WORD* |
| 422 A WORD consists of a sequence of non-blank characters, separated with white | |
| 625 | 423 space. An empty line is also considered to be a WORD. |
| 7 | 424 |
| 425 A sequence of folded lines is counted for one word of a single character. | |
| 426 "w" and "W", "e" and "E" move to the start/end of the first word or WORD after | |
| 427 a range of folded lines. "b" and "B" move to the start of the first word or | |
| 428 WORD before the fold. | |
| 429 | |
| 430 Special case: "cw" and "cW" are treated like "ce" and "cE" if the cursor is | |
| 431 on a non-blank. This is because "cw" is interpreted as change-word, and a | |
| 16610 | 432 word does not include the following white space. |
| 7 | 433 |
| 434 Another special case: When using the "w" motion in combination with an | |
| 435 operator and the last word moved over is at the end of a line, the end of | |
| 436 that word becomes the end of the operated text, not the first word in the | |
| 437 next line. | |
| 438 | |
| 439 The original Vi implementation of "e" is buggy. For example, the "e" command | |
| 440 will stop on the first character of a line if the previous line was empty. | |
| 441 But when you use "2e" this does not happen. In Vim "ee" and "2e" are the | |
| 442 same, which is more logical. However, this causes a small incompatibility | |
| 443 between Vi and Vim. | |
| 444 | |
| 445 ============================================================================== | |
| 446 5. Text object motions *object-motions* | |
| 447 | |
| 448 *(* | |
| 28379 | 449 ( [count] |sentence|s backward. |exclusive| motion. |
| 7 | 450 |

| 28379 | 458 } [count] |paragraph|s forward. |exclusive| motion. |
| 7 | 459 |
| 460 *]]* | |
| 28379 | 461 ]] [count] |section|s forward or to the next '{' in the |
| 20 | 462 first column. When used after an operator, then also |
| 463 stops below a '}' in the first column. |exclusive| | |
| 464 Note that |exclusive-linewise| often applies. | |
| 7 | 465 |
| 466 *][* | |
| 28379 | 467 ][ [count] |section|s forward or to the next '}' in the |
| 20 | 468 first column. |exclusive| |
| 469 Note that |exclusive-linewise| often applies. | |
| 7 | 470 |
| 471 *[[* | |
| 28379 | 472 [[ [count] |section|s backward or to the previous '{' in |
| 20 | 473 the first column. |exclusive| |
| 474 Note that |exclusive-linewise| often applies. | |
| 7 | 475 |
| 476 *[]* | |
| 28379 | 477 [] [count] |section|s backward or to the previous '}' in |
| 20 | 478 the first column. |exclusive| |
| 479 Note that |exclusive-linewise| often applies. | |
| 7 | 480 |
| 481 These commands move over three kinds of text objects. | |
| 482 | |
| 483 *sentence* | |
| 484 A sentence is defined as ending at a '.', '!' or '?' followed by either the | |
| 485 end of a line, or by a space or tab. Any number of closing ')', ']', '"' | |
| 486 and ''' characters may appear after the '.', '!' or '?' before the spaces, | |
| 487 tabs or end of line. A paragraph and section boundary is also a sentence | |
| 488 boundary. | |
| 489 If the 'J' flag is present in 'cpoptions', at least two spaces have to | |
| 490 follow the punctuation mark; <Tab>s are not recognized as white space. | |
| 491 The definition of a sentence cannot be changed. | |
| 492 | |
| 493 *paragraph* | |
| 494 A paragraph begins after each empty line, and also at each of a set of | |
| 495 paragraph macros, specified by the pairs of characters in the 'paragraphs' | |
| 1621 | 496 option. The default is "IPLPPPQPP TPHPLIPpLpItpplpipbp", which corresponds to |
| 497 the macros ".IP", ".LP", etc. (These are nroff macros, so the dot must be in | |
| 498 the first column). A section boundary is also a paragraph boundary. | |
| 164 | 499 Note that a blank line (only containing white space) is NOT a paragraph |
| 500 boundary. | |
| 501 Also note that this does not include a '{' or '}' in the first column. When | |
| 502 the '{' flag is in 'cpoptions' then '{' in the first column is used as a | |
| 503 paragraph boundary |posix|. | |
| 7 | 504 |
| 505 *section* | |
| 506 A section begins after a form-feed (<C-L>) in the first column and at each of | |
| 507 a set of section macros, specified by the pairs of characters in the | |
| 508 'sections' option. The default is "SHNHH HUnhsh", which defines a section to | |
| 509 start at the nroff macros ".SH", ".NH", ".H", ".HU", ".nh" and ".sh". | |
| 510 | |
| 21991 | 511 The "]]" and "[[" commands stop at the '{' in the first column. This is |
| 512 useful to find the start of a function in a C program. To search for a '}' in | |
| 513 the first column, the end of a C function, use "][" (forward) or "[]" | |
| 514 (backward). Note that the first character of the command determines the | |
| 515 search direction. | |
| 7 | 516 |
| 517 If your '{' or '}' are not in the first column, and you would like to use "[[" | |
| 518 and "]]" anyway, try these mappings: > | |
| 519 :map [[ ?{<CR>w99[{ | |
| 520 :map ][ /}<CR>b99]} | |
| 521 :map ]] j0[[%/{<CR> | |
| 522 :map [] k$][%?}<CR> | |
| 523 [type these literally, see |<>|] | |
| 524 | |
| 525 ============================================================================== | |
| 526 6. Text object selection *object-select* *text-objects* | |
| 527 *v_a* *v_i* | |
| 528 | |
| 529 This is a series of commands that can only be used while in Visual mode or | |
| 530 after an operator. The commands that start with "a" select "a"n object | |
| 531 including white space, the commands starting with "i" select an "inner" object | |
| 532 without white space, or just the white space. Thus the "inner" commands | |
| 533 always select less text than the "a" commands. | |
| 534 | |
| 535 These commands are not available when the |+textobjects| feature has been | |
| 536 disabled at compile time. | |
| 3713 | 537 Also see `gn` and `gN`, operating on the last search pattern. |
| 538 | |
| 7 | 539 *v_aw* *aw* |
| 540 aw "a word", select [count] words (see |word|). | |
| 541 Leading or trailing white space is included, but not | |
| 542 counted. | |
| 543 When used in Visual linewise mode "aw" switches to | |
| 544 Visual characterwise mode. | |
| 545 | |
| 546 *v_iw* *iw* | |
| 547 iw "inner word", select [count] words (see |word|). | |
| 548 White space between words is counted too. | |
| 549 When used in Visual linewise mode "iw" switches to | |
| 550 Visual characterwise mode. | |
| 551 | |
| 552 *v_aW* *aW* | |
| 553 aW "a WORD", select [count] WORDs (see |WORD|). | |
| 554 Leading or trailing white space is included, but not | |
| 555 counted. | |
| 556 When used in Visual linewise mode "aW" switches to | |
| 557 Visual characterwise mode. | |
| 558 | |
| 559 *v_iW* *iW* | |
| 560 iW "inner WORD", select [count] WORDs (see |WORD|). | |
| 561 White space between words is counted too. | |
| 562 When used in Visual linewise mode "iW" switches to | |
| 563 Visual characterwise mode. | |
| 564 | |
| 565 *v_as* *as* | |
| 566 as "a sentence", select [count] sentences (see | |
| 567 |sentence|). | |
| 568 When used in Visual mode it is made characterwise. | |

| 585 Exception: a blank line (only containing white space) | |
| 586 is also a paragraph boundary. | |
| 587 When used in Visual mode it is made linewise. | |
| 588 | |
| 589 a] *v_a]* *v_a[* *a]* *a[* | |
| 590 a[ "a [] block", select [count] '[' ']' blocks. This | |
| 591 goes backwards to the [count] unclosed '[', and finds | |
| 592 the matching ']'. The enclosed text is selected, | |
| 593 including the '[' and ']'. | |
| 594 When used in Visual mode it is made characterwise. | |

669 none, then leading white space is included. |

| 678 repeating won't extend the Visual selection. | |
| 527 | 679 Special case: With a count of 2 the quotes are |
| 680 included, but no extra white space as with a"/a'/a`. | |
| 12 | 681 |
| 7 | 682 When used after an operator: |
| 683 For non-block objects: | |
| 684 For the "a" commands: The operator applies to the object and the white | |
| 685 space after the object. If there is no white space after the object | |
| 686 or when the cursor was in the white space before the object, the white | |
| 687 space before the object is included. | |
| 688 For the "inner" commands: If the cursor was on the object, the | |
| 689 operator applies to the object. If the cursor was on white space, the | |
| 690 operator applies to the white space. | |
| 691 For a block object: | |
| 692 The operator applies to the block where the cursor is in, or the block | |
| 693 on which the cursor is on one of the braces. For the "inner" commands | |
| 694 the surrounding braces are excluded. For the "a" commands, the braces | |
| 695 are included. | |
| 696 | |
| 697 When used in Visual mode: | |
| 698 When start and end of the Visual area are the same (just after typing "v"): | |
| 699 One object is selected, the same as for using an operator. | |
| 700 When start and end of the Visual area are not the same: | |
| 701 For non-block objects the area is extended by one object or the white | |
| 702 space up to the next object, or both for the "a" objects. The | |
| 703 direction in which this happens depends on which side of the Visual | |
| 704 area the cursor is. For the block objects the block is extended one | |
| 705 level outwards. | |
| 706 | |
| 707 For illustration, here is a list of delete commands, grouped from small to big | |
| 708 objects. Note that for a single character and a whole line the existing vi | |
| 709 movement commands are used. | |
| 710 "dl" delete character (alias: "x") |dl| | |
| 711 "diw" delete inner word *diw* | |
| 712 "daw" delete a word *daw* | |
| 713 "diW" delete inner WORD (see |WORD|) *diW* | |
| 714 "daW" delete a WORD (see |WORD|) *daW* | |
| 3713 | 715 "dgn" delete the next search pattern match *dgn* |
| 7 | 716 "dd" delete one line |dd| |
| 717 "dis" delete inner sentence *dis* | |
| 718 "das" delete a sentence *das* | |
| 719 "dib" delete inner '(' ')' block *dib* | |
| 720 "dab" delete a '(' ')' block *dab* | |
| 721 "dip" delete inner paragraph *dip* | |
| 722 "dap" delete a paragraph *dap* | |
| 723 "diB" delete inner '{' '}' block *diB* | |
| 724 "daB" delete a '{' '}' block *daB* | |
| 725 | |
| 726 Note the difference between using a movement command and an object. The | |
| 727 movement command operates from here (cursor position) to where the movement | |
| 728 takes us. When using an object the whole object is operated upon, no matter | |
| 729 where on the object the cursor is. For example, compare "dw" and "daw": "dw" | |
| 730 deletes from the cursor position to the start of the next word, "daw" deletes | |
| 731 the word under the cursor and the space after or before it. | |
| 732 | |
| 422 | 733 |
| 734 Tag blocks *tag-blocks* | |
| 735 | |
| 736 For the "it" and "at" text objects an attempt is done to select blocks between | |
| 737 matching tags for HTML and XML. But since these are not completely compatible | |
| 738 there are a few restrictions. | |
| 739 | |
| 740 The normal method is to select a <tag> until the matching </tag>. For "at" | |
| 741 the tags are included, for "it" they are excluded. But when "it" is repeated | |
| 853 | 742 the tags will be included (otherwise nothing would change). Also, "it" used |
| 743 on a tag block with no contents will select the leading tag. | |
| 422 | 744 |
| 745 "<aaa/>" items are skipped. Case is ignored, also for XML where case does | |
| 746 matter. | |
| 747 | |
| 748 In HTML it is possible to have a tag like <br> or <meta ...> without a | |
| 749 matching end tag. These are ignored. | |
| 750 | |
| 751 The text objects are tolerant about mistakes. Stray end tags are ignored. | |
| 752 | |

| 754 7. Marks *mark-motions* *E20* *E78* | |
| 755 | |
| 756 Jumping to a mark can be done in two ways: | |
| 757 1. With ` (backtick): The cursor is positioned at the specified location | |
| 758 and the motion is |exclusive|. | |
| 759 2. With ' (single quote): The cursor is positioned on the first non-blank | |
| 760 character in the line of the specified location and | |
| 761 the motion is linewise. | |
| 762 | |
| 763 *m* *mark* *Mark* | |
| 764 m{a-zA-Z} Set mark {a-zA-Z} at cursor position (does not move | |
| 765 the cursor, this is not a motion command). | |
| 766 | |
| 767 *m'* *m`* | |
| 768 m' or m` Set the previous context mark. This can be jumped to | |
| 769 with the "''" or "``" command (does not move the | |
| 770 cursor, this is not a motion command). | |
| 771 | |
| 772 *m[* *m]* | |
| 773 m[ or m] Set the |'[| or |']| mark. Useful when an operator is | |
| 774 to be simulated by multiple commands. (does not move | |
| 775 the cursor, this is not a motion command). | |
| 776 | |
| 3682 | 777 *m<* *m>* |
| 778 m< or m> Set the |'<| or |'>| mark. Useful to change what the | |
| 779 `gv` command selects. (does not move the cursor, this | |
| 780 is not a motion command). | |
| 781 Note that the Visual mode cannot be set, only the | |
| 782 start and end position. | |
| 783 | |
| 7 | 784 *:ma* *:mark* *E191* |
| 9 | 785 :[range]ma[rk] {a-zA-Z'} |
| 786 Set mark {a-zA-Z'} at last line number in [range], | |
| 7 | 787 column 0. Default is cursor line. |
| 788 | |
| 789 *:k* | |
| 9 | 790 :[range]k{a-zA-Z'} Same as :mark, but the space before the mark name can |
| 7 | 791 be omitted. |
| 26779 | 792 This command is not supported in |Vim9| script, |
| 793 because it is too easily confused with a variable | |
| 794 name. | |
| 7 | 795 |
| 796 *'* *'a* *`* *`a* | |
| 1121 | 797 '{a-z} `{a-z} Jump to the mark {a-z} in the current buffer. |

| 856 | 824 :delm[arks] {marks} Delete the specified marks. Marks that can be deleted |
| 24 | 825 include A-Z and 0-9. You cannot delete the ' mark. |
| 826 They can be specified by giving the list of mark | |
| 827 names, or with a range, separated with a dash. Spaces | |
| 828 are ignored. Examples: > | |
| 829 :delmarks a deletes mark a | |
| 830 :delmarks a b 1 deletes marks a, b and 1 | |
| 831 :delmarks Aa deletes marks A and a | |
| 832 :delmarks p-z deletes marks in the range p to z | |
| 833 :delmarks ^.[] deletes marks ^ . [ ] | |
| 834 :delmarks \" deletes mark " | |
| 835 | |
| 836 :delm[arks]! Delete all marks for the current buffer, but not marks | |
| 837 A-Z or 0-9. | |
| 838 | |
| 7 | 839 A mark is not visible in any way. It is just a position in the file that is |
| 840 remembered. Do not confuse marks with named registers, they are totally | |
| 841 unrelated. | |
| 842 | |
| 843 'a - 'z lowercase marks, valid within one file | |
| 844 'A - 'Z uppercase marks, also called file marks, valid between files | |
| 845 '0 - '9 numbered marks, set from .viminfo file | |
| 846 | |
| 847 Lowercase marks 'a to 'z are remembered as long as the file remains in the | |
| 848 buffer list. If you remove the file from the buffer list, all its marks are | |
| 849 lost. If you delete a line that contains a mark, that mark is erased. | |
| 850 | |
| 851 Lowercase marks can be used in combination with operators. For example: "d't" | |
| 852 deletes the lines from the cursor position to mark 't'. Hint: Use mark 't' for | |
| 853 Top, 'b' for Bottom, etc.. Lowercase marks are restored when using undo and | |
| 854 redo. | |
| 855 | |
| 16610 | 856 Uppercase marks 'A to 'Z include the file name. You can use them to jump from |
| 857 file to file. You can only use an uppercase mark with an operator if the mark | |
| 858 is in the current file. The line number of the mark remains correct, even if | |
| 859 you insert/delete lines or edit another file for a moment. When the 'viminfo' | |
| 860 option is not empty, uppercase marks are kept in the .viminfo file. See | |
| 861 |viminfo-file-marks|. | |
| 7 | 862 |
| 863 Numbered marks '0 to '9 are quite different. They can not be set directly. | |
| 864 They are only present when using a viminfo file |viminfo-file|. Basically '0 | |
| 865 is the location of the cursor when you last exited Vim, '1 the last but one | |
| 866 time, etc. Use the "r" flag in 'viminfo' to specify files for which no | |
| 867 Numbered mark should be stored. See |viminfo-file-marks|. | |

876 yanked text. |
| 7 | 877 |
| 878 After executing an operator the Cursor is put at the beginning of the text | |
| 879 that was operated upon. After a put command ("p" or "P") the cursor is | |
| 880 sometimes placed at the first inserted line and sometimes on the last inserted | |
| 881 character. The four commands above put the cursor at either end. Example: | |
| 882 After yanking 10 lines you want to go to the last one of them: "10Y']". After | |
| 883 inserting several lines with the "p" command you want to jump to the lowest | |
| 884 inserted line: "p']". This also works for text that has been inserted. | |
| 885 | |
| 886 Note: After deleting text, the start and end positions are the same, except | |
| 887 when using blockwise Visual mode. These commands do not work when no change | |

| 1001 same line number. | |
| 1002 - When the number of lines decreases, the marks in the | |
| 9 | 1003 lines that disappeared are deleted. |
| 7 | 1004 In any case the marks below the filtered text have |
| 1005 their line numbers adjusted, thus stick to the text, | |
| 1006 as usual. | |
| 1007 When the 'R' flag is missing from 'cpoptions' this has | |
| 1008 the same effect as using ":keepmarks". | |

| 9 | 1012 Moving around in {command} does not change the |''|, |
| 1013 |'.| and |'^| marks, the |jumplist| or the | |
| 1014 |changelist|. | |
| 1015 Useful when making a change or inserting text | |
| 1016 automatically and the user doesn't want to go to this | |
| 1017 position. E.g., when updating a "Last change" | |
| 1018 timestamp in the first line: > | |

| 1025 Note that ":keepjumps" must be used for every command. | |
| 1026 When invoking a function the commands in that function | |
| 856 | 1027 can still change the jumplist. Also, for |
| 85 | 1028 ":keepjumps exe 'command '" the "command" won't keep |
| 1029 jumps. Instead use: ":exe 'keepjumps command'" | |

| 1032 8. Jumps *jump-motions* | |
| 1033 | |
| 14347 | 1034 A "jump" is a command that normally moves the cursor several lines away. If |
| 1035 you make the cursor "jump" the position of the cursor before the jump is | |
| 16023 | 1036 remembered. You can return to that position with the "''" and "``" commands, |
| 14347 | 1037 unless the line containing that position was changed or deleted. The |
| 1038 following commands are "jump" commands: "'", "`", "G", "/", "?", "n", "N", | |
| 1039 "%", "(", ")", "[[", "]]", "{", "}", ":s", ":tag", "L", "M", "H" and the | |
| 15033 | 1040 commands that start editing a new file. |

1060 :cle[arjumps] Clear the jump list of the current window. |
| 7 | 1061 |
| 1062 *jumplist* | |
| 1063 Jumps are remembered in a jump list. With the CTRL-O and CTRL-I command you | |
| 1064 can go to cursor positions before older jumps, and back again. Thus you can | |
| 1065 move up and down the list. There is a separate jump list for each window. | |
| 1066 The maximum number of entries is fixed at 100. | |
| 1067 | |
| 1068 For example, after three jump commands you have this jump list: | |
| 1069 | |
| 24278 | 1070 jump line col file/text ~ |

| 7 | 1083 You are currently in line 1167. If you then use the CTRL-O command, the |
| 1084 cursor is put in line 1154. This results in: | |
| 1085 | |
| 24278 | 1086 jump line col file/text ~ |
| 1087 2 1 0 some text ~ | |
| 1088 1 70 0 another line ~ | |
| 1089 > 0 1154 23 end. ~ | |
| 1090 1 1167 0 foo bar ~ | |
| 7 | 1091 |
| 1092 The pointer will be set at the last used jump position. The next CTRL-O | |
| 1093 command will use the entry above it, the next CTRL-I command will use the | |
| 1094 entry below it. If the pointer is below the last entry, this indicates that | |
| 1095 you did not use a CTRL-I or CTRL-O before. In this case the CTRL-O command | |
| 1096 will cause the cursor position to be added to the jump list, so you can get | |
| 1097 back to the position before the CTRL-O. In this case this is line 1167. | |
| 1098 | |
| 1099 With more CTRL-O commands you will go to lines 70 and 1. If you use CTRL-I | |
| 1100 you can go back to 1154 and 1167 again. Note that the number in the "jump" | |
| 1101 column indicates the count for the CTRL-O or CTRL-I command that takes you to | |
| 1102 this position. | |
| 1103 | |
| 1104 If you use a jump command, the current line number is inserted at the end of | |
| 1105 the jump list. If the same line was already in the jump list, it is removed. | |
| 1106 The result is that when repeating CTRL-O you will get back to old positions | |
| 1107 only once. | |
| 1108 | |
| 1109 When the |:keepjumps| command modifier is used, jumps are not stored in the | |
| 836 | 1110 jumplist. Jumps are also not stored in other cases, e.g., in a |:global| |
| 5220 | 1111 command. You can explicitly add a jump by setting the ' mark with "m'". Note |
| 1112 that calling setpos() does not do this. | |
| 7 | 1113 |
| 1114 After the CTRL-O command that got you into line 1154 you could give another | |
| 1115 jump command (e.g., "G"). The jump list would then become: | |
| 1116 | |
| 24278 | 1117 jump line col file/text ~ |
| 1118 4 1 0 some text ~ | |
| 1119 3 70 0 another line ~ | |
| 1120 2 1167 0 foo bar ~ | |
| 1121 1 1154 23 end. ~ | |
| 1122 > ~ | |
| 7 | 1123 |
| 1124 The line numbers will be adjusted for deleted and inserted lines. This fails | |
| 1125 if you stop editing a file without writing, like with ":n!". | |
| 1126 | |
| 1127 When you split a window, the jumplist will be copied to the new window. | |
| 1128 | |
| 1129 If you have included the ' item in the 'viminfo' option the jumplist will be | |
| 1130 stored in the viminfo file and restored when starting Vim. | |
| 1131 | |
| 1132 | |
| 1133 CHANGE LIST JUMPS *changelist* *change-list-jumps* *E664* | |
| 1134 | |
| 1135 When making a change the cursor position is remembered. One position is | |
| 1136 remembered for every change that can be undone, unless it is close to a | |
| 1137 previous change. Two commands can be used to jump to positions of changes, | |
| 1138 also those that have been undone: | |
| 1139 | |
| 1140 *g;* *E662* | |
| 1141 g; Go to [count] older position in change list. | |
| 1142 If [count] is larger than the number of older change | |
| 1143 positions go to the oldest change. | |
| 1144 If there is no older change an error message is given. | |
| 1145 (not a motion command) | |
| 1146 | |
| 1147 *g,* *E663* | |
| 1148 g, Go to [count] newer cursor position in change list. | |
| 236 | 1149 Just like |g;| but in the opposite direction. |
| 7 | 1150 (not a motion command) |
| 1151 | |
| 1152 When using a count you jump as far back or forward as possible. Thus you can | |
| 1153 use "999g;" to go to the first change for which the position is still | |
| 1154 remembered. The number of entries in the change list is fixed and is the same | |
| 1155 as for the |jumplist|. | |
| 1156 | |
| 1157 When two undo-able changes are in the same line and at a column position less | |
| 1158 than 'textwidth' apart only the last one is remembered. This avoids that a | |
| 1159 sequence of small changes in a line, for example "xxxxx", adds many positions | |
| 1160 to the change list. When 'textwidth' is zero 'wrapmargin' is used. When that | |
| 1161 also isn't set a fixed number of 79 is used. Detail: For the computations | |
| 1162 bytes are used, not characters, to avoid a speed penalty (this only matters | |
| 21991 | 1163 for multibyte encodings). |
| 7 | 1164 |
| 1165 Note that when text has been inserted or deleted the cursor position might be | |
| 1166 a bit different from the position of the change. Especially when lines have | |
| 1167 been deleted. | |
| 1168 | |
| 24278 | 1169 When the `:keepjumps` command modifier is used the position of a change is not |
| 7 | 1170 remembered. |
| 1171 | |
| 1172 *:changes* | |
| 1173 :changes Print the change list. A ">" character indicates the | |
| 1174 current position. Just after a change it is below the | |
| 14372 | 1175 newest entry, indicating that `g;` takes you to the |
| 7 | 1176 newest entry position. The first column indicates the |
| 1177 count needed to take you to this position. Example: | |
| 1178 | |
| 1179 change line col text ~ | |
| 1180 3 9 8 bla bla bla | |
| 1181 2 11 57 foo is a bar | |
| 1182 1 14 54 the latest changed line | |
| 1183 > | |
| 1184 | |
| 14372 | 1185 The `3g;` command takes you to line 9. Then the |
| 1186 output of `:changes` is: | |
| 7 | 1187 |
| 1188 change line col text ~ | |
| 1189 > 0 9 8 bla bla bla | |
| 1190 1 11 57 foo is a bar | |
| 1191 2 14 54 the latest changed line | |
| 1192 | |
| 1193 Now you can use "g," to go to line 11 and "2g," to go | |
| 1194 to line 14. | |

| 1202 Items can be: | |
| 1203 ([{}]) parenthesis or (curly/square) brackets | |
| 1204 (this can be changed with the | |
| 1205 'matchpairs' option) | |
| 1206 /* */ start or end of C-style comment | |

| 1209 cursor is on the # or no ([{ | |
| 24278 | 1210 is following) |
| 7 | 1211 For other items the matchit plugin can be used, see |
| 1621 | 1212 |matchit-install|. This plugin also helps to skip |
| 1213 matches in comments. | |
| 7 | 1214 |
| 1215 When 'cpoptions' contains "M" |cpo-M| backslashes | |
| 1216 before parens and braces are ignored. Without "M" the | |
| 1217 number of backslashes matters: an even number doesn't | |
| 1218 match with an odd number. Thus in "( \) )" and "\( ( | |
| 1219 \)" the first and last parenthesis match. | |
| 1621 | 1220 |
| 7 | 1221 When the '%' character is not present in 'cpoptions' |
| 1222 |cpo-%|, parens and braces inside double quotes are | |
| 1223 ignored, unless the number of parens/braces in a line | |
| 1224 is uneven and this line and the previous one does not | |
| 1225 end in a backslash. '(', '{', '[', ']', '}' and ')' | |
| 1226 are also ignored (parens and braces inside single | |
| 1227 quotes). Note that this works fine for C, but not for | |
| 1228 Perl, where single quotes are used for strings. | |
| 1621 | 1229 |
| 1230 Nothing special is done for matches in comments. You | |
| 1231 can either use the matchit plugin |matchit-install| or | |
| 1232 put quotes around matches. | |
| 1233 | |
| 1234 No count is allowed, {count}% jumps to a line {count} | |
| 1235 percentage down the file |N%|. Using '%' on | |
| 7 | 1236 #if/#else/#endif makes the movement linewise. |

| 24278 | 1282 The above four commands assume that the file contains a class with methods. |
| 7 | 1283 The class definition is surrounded in '{' and '}'. Each method in the class |
| 1284 is also surrounded with '{' and '}'. This applies to the Java language. The | |
| 1285 file looks like this: > | |

| 1301 the start of "method_two()" (obviously this is much more useful when the | |
| 1302 method is long!). Using "2[m" will jump to the start of "method_one()". | |
