| 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 | |

366 [count]go Go to [count] byte in the buffer. Default [count] is |
| 7 | 367 one, start of the file. When giving [range], the |
| 368 last number in it used as the byte count. End-of-line | |
| 369 characters are counted depending on the current | |
| 370 'fileformat' setting. | |
| 2908 | 371 Also see the |line2byte()| function, and the 'o' |
| 372 option in 'statusline'. | |

| 376 These commands move to the specified line. They stop when reaching the first | |
| 377 or the last line. The first two commands put the cursor in the same column | |
| 378 (if possible) as it was after the last command that changed the column, | |
| 379 except after the "$" command, then the cursor will be put on the last | |
| 380 character of the line. | |

| 418 | |
| 419 These commands move over words or WORDS. | |
| 420 *word* | |
| 421 A word consists of a sequence of letters, digits and underscores, or a | |
| 422 sequence of other non-blank characters, separated with white space (spaces, | |
| 625 | 423 tabs, <EOL>). This can be changed with the 'iskeyword' option. An empty line |
| 424 is also considered to be a word. | |
| 7 | 425 *WORD* |
| 426 A WORD consists of a sequence of non-blank characters, separated with white | |
| 625 | 427 space. An empty line is also considered to be a WORD. |
| 7 | 428 |
| 429 A sequence of folded lines is counted for one word of a single character. | |
| 430 "w" and "W", "e" and "E" move to the start/end of the first word or WORD after | |
| 431 a range of folded lines. "b" and "B" move to the start of the first word or | |
| 432 WORD before the fold. | |
| 433 | |
| 434 Special case: "cw" and "cW" are treated like "ce" and "cE" if the cursor is | |
| 435 on a non-blank. This is because "cw" is interpreted as change-word, and a | |
| 16610 | 436 word does not include the following white space. |
| 7 | 437 |
| 438 Another special case: When using the "w" motion in combination with an | |
| 439 operator and the last word moved over is at the end of a line, the end of | |
| 440 that word becomes the end of the operated text, not the first word in the | |
| 441 next line. | |
| 442 | |
| 443 The original Vi implementation of "e" is buggy. For example, the "e" command | |
| 444 will stop on the first character of a line if the previous line was empty. | |
| 445 But when you use "2e" this does not happen. In Vim "ee" and "2e" are the | |
| 446 same, which is more logical. However, this causes a small incompatibility | |
| 447 between Vi and Vim. | |
| 448 | |
| 449 ============================================================================== | |
| 450 5. Text object motions *object-motions* | |
| 451 | |
| 452 *(* | |
| 28379 | 453 ( [count] |sentence|s backward. |exclusive| motion. |

| 461 *}* | |
| 28379 | 462 } [count] |paragraph|s forward. |exclusive| motion. |
| 7 | 463 |
| 464 *]]* | |
| 28379 | 465 ]] [count] |section|s forward or to the next '{' in the |
| 20 | 466 first column. When used after an operator, then also |
| 467 stops below a '}' in the first column. |exclusive| | |
| 468 Note that |exclusive-linewise| often applies. | |
| 7 | 469 |
| 470 *][* | |
| 28379 | 471 ][ [count] |section|s forward or to the next '}' in the |
| 20 | 472 first column. |exclusive| |
| 473 Note that |exclusive-linewise| often applies. | |
| 7 | 474 |
| 475 *[[* | |
| 28379 | 476 [[ [count] |section|s backward or to the previous '{' in |
| 20 | 477 the first column. |exclusive| |
| 478 Note that |exclusive-linewise| often applies. | |
| 7 | 479 |
| 480 *[]* | |
| 28379 | 481 [] [count] |section|s backward or to the previous '}' in |
| 20 | 482 the first column. |exclusive| |
| 483 Note that |exclusive-linewise| often applies. | |
| 7 | 484 |
| 485 These commands move over three kinds of text objects. | |
| 486 | |
| 487 *sentence* | |
| 488 A sentence is defined as ending at a '.', '!' or '?' followed by either the | |
| 489 end of a line, or by a space or tab. Any number of closing ')', ']', '"' | |
| 490 and ''' characters may appear after the '.', '!' or '?' before the spaces, | |
| 491 tabs or end of line. A paragraph and section boundary is also a sentence | |
| 492 boundary. | |
| 493 If the 'J' flag is present in 'cpoptions', at least two spaces have to | |
| 494 follow the punctuation mark; <Tab>s are not recognized as white space. | |
| 495 The definition of a sentence cannot be changed. | |
| 496 | |
| 497 *paragraph* | |
| 498 A paragraph begins after each empty line, and also at each of a set of | |
| 499 paragraph macros, specified by the pairs of characters in the 'paragraphs' | |
| 1621 | 500 option. The default is "IPLPPPQPP TPHPLIPpLpItpplpipbp", which corresponds to |
| 501 the macros ".IP", ".LP", etc. (These are nroff macros, so the dot must be in | |
| 502 the first column). A section boundary is also a paragraph boundary. | |
| 164 | 503 Note that a blank line (only containing white space) is NOT a paragraph |
| 504 boundary. | |
| 505 Also note that this does not include a '{' or '}' in the first column. When | |
| 506 the '{' flag is in 'cpoptions' then '{' in the first column is used as a | |
| 507 paragraph boundary |posix|. | |
| 7 | 508 |
| 509 *section* | |
| 510 A section begins after a form-feed (<C-L>) in the first column and at each of | |
| 511 a set of section macros, specified by the pairs of characters in the | |
| 512 'sections' option. The default is "SHNHH HUnhsh", which defines a section to | |
| 513 start at the nroff macros ".SH", ".NH", ".H", ".HU", ".nh" and ".sh". | |
| 514 | |
| 21991 | 515 The "]]" and "[[" commands stop at the '{' in the first column. This is |
| 516 useful to find the start of a function in a C program. To search for a '}' in | |
| 517 the first column, the end of a C function, use "][" (forward) or "[]" | |
| 518 (backward). Note that the first character of the command determines the | |
| 519 search direction. | |
| 7 | 520 |
| 521 If your '{' or '}' are not in the first column, and you would like to use "[[" | |
| 522 and "]]" anyway, try these mappings: > | |
| 523 :map [[ ?{<CR>w99[{ | |
| 524 :map ][ /}<CR>b99]} | |
| 525 :map ]] j0[[%/{<CR> | |
| 526 :map [] k$][%?}<CR> | |
| 527 [type these literally, see |<>|] | |
| 528 | |
| 529 ============================================================================== | |
| 530 6. Text object selection *object-select* *text-objects* | |
| 531 *v_a* *v_i* | |
| 532 | |
| 533 This is a series of commands that can only be used while in Visual mode or | |
| 534 after an operator. The commands that start with "a" select "a"n object | |
| 535 including white space, the commands starting with "i" select an "inner" object | |
| 536 without white space, or just the white space. Thus the "inner" commands | |
| 537 always select less text than the "a" commands. | |
| 538 | |
| 3713 | 539 Also see `gn` and `gN`, operating on the last search pattern. |
| 540 | |
| 7 | 541 *v_aw* *aw* |
| 542 aw "a word", select [count] words (see |word|). | |
| 543 Leading or trailing white space is included, but not | |
| 544 counted. | |
| 545 When used in Visual linewise mode "aw" switches to | |
| 546 Visual characterwise mode. | |
| 547 | |
| 548 *v_iw* *iw* | |
| 549 iw "inner word", select [count] words (see |word|). | |
| 550 White space between words is counted too. | |
| 551 When used in Visual linewise mode "iw" switches to | |
| 552 Visual characterwise mode. | |
| 553 | |
| 554 *v_aW* *aW* | |
| 555 aW "a WORD", select [count] WORDs (see |WORD|). | |
| 556 Leading or trailing white space is included, but not | |
| 557 counted. | |
| 558 When used in Visual linewise mode "aW" switches to | |
| 559 Visual characterwise mode. | |
| 560 | |
| 561 *v_iW* *iW* | |
| 562 iW "inner WORD", select [count] WORDs (see |WORD|). | |
| 563 White space between words is counted too. | |
| 564 When used in Visual linewise mode "iW" switches to | |
| 565 Visual characterwise mode. | |
| 566 | |
| 567 *v_as* *as* | |
| 568 as "a sentence", select [count] sentences (see | |
| 569 |sentence|). | |
| 570 When used in Visual mode it is made characterwise. | |

| 692 space before the object is included. | |
| 693 For the "inner" commands: If the cursor was on the object, the | |
| 694 operator applies to the object. If the cursor was on white space, the | |
| 695 operator applies to the white space. | |
| 696 For a block object: | |
| 697 The operator applies to the block where the cursor is in, or the block | |
| 698 on which the cursor is on one of the braces. For the "inner" commands | |
| 699 the surrounding braces are excluded. For the "a" commands, the braces | |
| 700 are included. | |

702 *v_object-select* |
| 7 | 703 When used in Visual mode: |
| 704 When start and end of the Visual area are the same (just after typing "v"): | |
| 705 One object is selected, the same as for using an operator. | |
| 706 When start and end of the Visual area are not the same: | |
| 707 For non-block objects the area is extended by one object or the white | |
| 708 space up to the next object, or both for the "a" objects. The | |
| 709 direction in which this happens depends on which side of the Visual | |
| 710 area the cursor is. For the block objects the block is extended one | |
| 711 level outwards. | |
| 712 | |
| 713 For illustration, here is a list of delete commands, grouped from small to big | |
| 714 objects. Note that for a single character and a whole line the existing vi | |
| 715 movement commands are used. | |
| 716 "dl" delete character (alias: "x") |dl| | |
| 717 "diw" delete inner word *diw* | |
| 718 "daw" delete a word *daw* | |
| 719 "diW" delete inner WORD (see |WORD|) *diW* | |
| 720 "daW" delete a WORD (see |WORD|) *daW* | |
| 3713 | 721 "dgn" delete the next search pattern match *dgn* |
| 7 | 722 "dd" delete one line |dd| |
| 723 "dis" delete inner sentence *dis* | |
| 724 "das" delete a sentence *das* | |
| 725 "dib" delete inner '(' ')' block *dib* | |
| 726 "dab" delete a '(' ')' block *dab* | |
| 727 "dip" delete inner paragraph *dip* | |
| 728 "dap" delete a paragraph *dap* | |
| 729 "diB" delete inner '{' '}' block *diB* | |
| 730 "daB" delete a '{' '}' block *daB* | |
| 731 | |
| 732 Note the difference between using a movement command and an object. The | |
| 733 movement command operates from here (cursor position) to where the movement | |
| 734 takes us. When using an object the whole object is operated upon, no matter | |
| 735 where on the object the cursor is. For example, compare "dw" and "daw": "dw" | |
| 736 deletes from the cursor position to the start of the next word, "daw" deletes | |
| 737 the word under the cursor and the space after or before it. | |
| 738 | |
| 422 | 739 |
| 740 Tag blocks *tag-blocks* | |
| 741 | |
| 742 For the "it" and "at" text objects an attempt is done to select blocks between | |
| 743 matching tags for HTML and XML. But since these are not completely compatible | |
| 744 there are a few restrictions. | |
| 745 | |
| 746 The normal method is to select a <tag> until the matching </tag>. For "at" | |
| 747 the tags are included, for "it" they are excluded. But when "it" is repeated | |
| 853 | 748 the tags will be included (otherwise nothing would change). Also, "it" used |
| 749 on a tag block with no contents will select the leading tag. | |
| 422 | 750 |
| 751 "<aaa/>" items are skipped. Case is ignored, also for XML where case does | |
| 752 matter. | |
| 753 | |
| 754 In HTML it is possible to have a tag like <br> or <meta ...> without a | |
| 755 matching end tag. These are ignored. | |
| 756 | |
| 757 The text objects are tolerant about mistakes. Stray end tags are ignored. | |
| 758 | |
| 7 | 759 ============================================================================== |
| 760 7. Marks *mark-motions* *E20* *E78* | |
| 761 | |
| 762 Jumping to a mark can be done in two ways: | |
| 763 1. With ` (backtick): The cursor is positioned at the specified location | |
| 764 and the motion is |exclusive|. | |
| 765 2. With ' (single quote): The cursor is positioned on the first non-blank | |
| 766 character in the line of the specified location and | |
| 767 the motion is linewise. | |
| 768 | |
| 769 *m* *mark* *Mark* | |
| 770 m{a-zA-Z} Set mark {a-zA-Z} at cursor position (does not move | |
| 771 the cursor, this is not a motion command). | |
| 772 | |
| 773 *m'* *m`* | |
| 774 m' or m` Set the previous context mark. This can be jumped to | |
| 775 with the "''" or "``" command (does not move the | |
| 776 cursor, this is not a motion command). | |
| 777 | |
| 778 *m[* *m]* | |
| 779 m[ or m] Set the |'[| or |']| mark. Useful when an operator is | |
| 780 to be simulated by multiple commands. (does not move | |
| 781 the cursor, this is not a motion command). | |
| 782 | |
| 3682 | 783 *m<* *m>* |
| 784 m< or m> Set the |'<| or |'>| mark. Useful to change what the | |
| 785 `gv` command selects. (does not move the cursor, this | |
| 786 is not a motion command). | |
| 787 Note that the Visual mode cannot be set, only the | |
| 788 start and end position. | |
| 789 | |
| 7 | 790 *:ma* *:mark* *E191* |
| 9 | 791 :[range]ma[rk] {a-zA-Z'} |
| 792 Set mark {a-zA-Z'} at last line number in [range], | |
| 7 | 793 column 0. Default is cursor line. |
| 794 | |
| 795 *:k* | |
| 9 | 796 :[range]k{a-zA-Z'} Same as :mark, but the space before the mark name can |
| 7 | 797 be omitted. |
| 26779 | 798 This command is not supported in |Vim9| script, |
| 799 because it is too easily confused with a variable | |
| 800 name. | |
| 7 | 801 |

| 856 | 830 :delm[arks] {marks} Delete the specified marks. Marks that can be deleted |
| 24 | 831 include A-Z and 0-9. You cannot delete the ' mark. |
| 832 They can be specified by giving the list of mark | |
| 833 names, or with a range, separated with a dash. Spaces | |
| 834 are ignored. Examples: > | |
| 835 :delmarks a deletes mark a | |
| 836 :delmarks a b 1 deletes marks a, b and 1 | |
| 837 :delmarks Aa deletes marks A and a | |
| 838 :delmarks p-z deletes marks in the range p to z | |
| 839 :delmarks ^.[] deletes marks ^ . [ ] | |
| 840 :delmarks \" deletes mark " | |
| 841 | |
| 842 :delm[arks]! Delete all marks for the current buffer, but not marks | |
| 843 A-Z or 0-9. | |
| 844 | |
| 7 | 845 A mark is not visible in any way. It is just a position in the file that is |
| 846 remembered. Do not confuse marks with named registers, they are totally | |
| 847 unrelated. | |
| 848 | |
| 849 'a - 'z lowercase marks, valid within one file | |
| 850 'A - 'Z uppercase marks, also called file marks, valid between files | |
| 851 '0 - '9 numbered marks, set from .viminfo file | |
| 852 | |
| 853 Lowercase marks 'a to 'z are remembered as long as the file remains in the | |
| 854 buffer list. If you remove the file from the buffer list, all its marks are | |
| 855 lost. If you delete a line that contains a mark, that mark is erased. | |
| 856 | |
| 857 Lowercase marks can be used in combination with operators. For example: "d't" | |
| 858 deletes the lines from the cursor position to mark 't'. Hint: Use mark 't' for | |
| 859 Top, 'b' for Bottom, etc.. Lowercase marks are restored when using undo and | |
| 860 redo. | |
| 861 | |
| 16610 | 862 Uppercase marks 'A to 'Z include the file name. You can use them to jump from |
| 863 file to file. You can only use an uppercase mark with an operator if the mark | |
| 864 is in the current file. The line number of the mark remains correct, even if | |
| 865 you insert/delete lines or edit another file for a moment. When the 'viminfo' | |
| 866 option is not empty, uppercase marks are kept in the .viminfo file. See | |
| 867 |viminfo-file-marks|. | |
| 7 | 868 |
| 869 Numbered marks '0 to '9 are quite different. They can not be set directly. | |
| 870 They are only present when using a viminfo file |viminfo-file|. Basically '0 | |
| 871 is the location of the cursor when you last exited Vim, '1 the last but one | |
| 872 time, etc. Use the "r" flag in 'viminfo' to specify files for which no | |
| 873 Numbered mark should be stored. See |viminfo-file-marks|. | |

882 yanked text. |
| 7 | 883 |
| 884 After executing an operator the Cursor is put at the beginning of the text | |
| 885 that was operated upon. After a put command ("p" or "P") the cursor is | |
| 886 sometimes placed at the first inserted line and sometimes on the last inserted | |
| 887 character. The four commands above put the cursor at either end. Example: | |
| 888 After yanking 10 lines you want to go to the last one of them: "10Y']". After | |
| 889 inserting several lines with the "p" command you want to jump to the lowest | |
| 890 inserted line: "p']". This also works for text that has been inserted. | |
| 891 | |
| 892 Note: After deleting text, the start and end positions are the same, except | |
| 893 when using blockwise Visual mode. These commands do not work when no change | |

| 1008 - When the number of lines decreases, the marks in the | |
| 9 | 1009 lines that disappeared are deleted. |
| 7 | 1010 In any case the marks below the filtered text have |
| 1011 their line numbers adjusted, thus stick to the text, | |
| 1012 as usual. | |
| 1013 When the 'R' flag is missing from 'cpoptions' this has | |

| 1021 Useful when making a change or inserting text | |
| 1022 automatically and the user doesn't want to go to this | |
| 1023 position. E.g., when updating a "Last change" | |
| 1024 timestamp in the first line: > | |

| 1031 Note that ":keepjumps" must be used for every command. | |
| 1032 When invoking a function the commands in that function | |
| 856 | 1033 can still change the jumplist. Also, for |
| 85 | 1034 ":keepjumps exe 'command '" the "command" won't keep |

| 1038 8. Jumps *jump-motions* | |
| 1039 | |
| 14347 | 1040 A "jump" is a command that normally moves the cursor several lines away. If |
| 1041 you make the cursor "jump" the position of the cursor before the jump is | |
| 16023 | 1042 remembered. You can return to that position with the "''" and "``" commands, |
| 14347 | 1043 unless the line containing that position was changed or deleted. The |
| 1044 following commands are "jump" commands: "'", "`", "G", "/", "?", "n", "N", | |

1066 :cle[arjumps] Clear the jump list of the current window. |
| 7 | 1067 |
| 1068 *jumplist* | |
| 1069 Jumps are remembered in a jump list. With the CTRL-O and CTRL-I command you | |
| 1070 can go to cursor positions before older jumps, and back again. Thus you can | |
| 1071 move up and down the list. There is a separate jump list for each window. | |
| 1072 The maximum number of entries is fixed at 100. | |
| 1073 | |
| 1074 For example, after three jump commands you have this jump list: | |
| 1075 | |
| 24278 | 1076 jump line col file/text ~ |
| 1077 3 1 0 some text ~ | |
| 1078 2 70 0 another line ~ | |
| 1079 1 1154 23 end. ~ | |
| 1080 > ~ | |
| 7 | 1081 |
| 2681 | 1082 The "file/text" column shows the file name, or the text at the jump if it is |
| 7 | 1083 in the current file (an indent is removed and a long line is truncated to fit |
| 1084 in the window). | |
| 1085 | |

| 7 | 1089 You are currently in line 1167. If you then use the CTRL-O command, the |
| 1090 cursor is put in line 1154. This results in: | |
| 1091 | |
| 24278 | 1092 jump line col file/text ~ |
| 1093 2 1 0 some text ~ | |
| 1094 1 70 0 another line ~ | |
| 1095 > 0 1154 23 end. ~ | |
| 1096 1 1167 0 foo bar ~ | |
| 7 | 1097 |
| 1098 The pointer will be set at the last used jump position. The next CTRL-O | |
| 1099 command will use the entry above it, the next CTRL-I command will use the | |
| 1100 entry below it. If the pointer is below the last entry, this indicates that | |
| 1101 you did not use a CTRL-I or CTRL-O before. In this case the CTRL-O command | |
| 1102 will cause the cursor position to be added to the jump list, so you can get | |
| 1103 back to the position before the CTRL-O. In this case this is line 1167. | |
| 1104 | |
| 1105 With more CTRL-O commands you will go to lines 70 and 1. If you use CTRL-I | |
| 1106 you can go back to 1154 and 1167 again. Note that the number in the "jump" | |
| 1107 column indicates the count for the CTRL-O or CTRL-I command that takes you to | |
| 1108 this position. | |
| 1109 | |
| 1110 If you use a jump command, the current line number is inserted at the end of | |
| 1111 the jump list. If the same line was already in the jump list, it is removed. | |
| 1112 The result is that when repeating CTRL-O you will get back to old positions | |
| 1113 only once. | |
| 1114 | |
| 1115 When the |:keepjumps| command modifier is used, jumps are not stored in the | |
| 836 | 1116 jumplist. Jumps are also not stored in other cases, e.g., in a |:global| |
| 5220 | 1117 command. You can explicitly add a jump by setting the ' mark with "m'". Note |
| 1118 that calling setpos() does not do this. | |
| 7 | 1119 |
| 1120 After the CTRL-O command that got you into line 1154 you could give another | |
| 1121 jump command (e.g., "G"). The jump list would then become: | |
| 1122 | |
| 24278 | 1123 jump line col file/text ~ |
| 1124 4 1 0 some text ~ | |
| 1125 3 70 0 another line ~ | |
| 1126 2 1167 0 foo bar ~ | |
| 1127 1 1154 23 end. ~ | |
| 1128 > ~ | |
| 7 | 1129 |
| 1130 The line numbers will be adjusted for deleted and inserted lines. This fails | |
| 1131 if you stop editing a file without writing, like with ":n!". | |
| 1132 | |
| 1133 When you split a window, the jumplist will be copied to the new window. | |
| 1134 | |
| 1135 If you have included the ' item in the 'viminfo' option the jumplist will be | |
| 1136 stored in the viminfo file and restored when starting Vim. | |

| 7 | 1178 CHANGE LIST JUMPS *changelist* *change-list-jumps* *E664* |
| 1179 | |
| 1180 When making a change the cursor position is remembered. One position is | |
| 1181 remembered for every change that can be undone, unless it is close to a | |
| 1182 previous change. Two commands can be used to jump to positions of changes, | |
| 1183 also those that have been undone: | |
| 1184 | |
| 1185 *g;* *E662* | |
| 1186 g; Go to [count] older position in change list. | |
| 1187 If [count] is larger than the number of older change | |
| 1188 positions go to the oldest change. | |
| 1189 If there is no older change an error message is given. | |
| 1190 (not a motion command) | |
| 1191 | |
| 1192 *g,* *E663* | |
| 30547 | 1193 g, Go to [count] newer position in change list. |
| 236 | 1194 Just like |g;| but in the opposite direction. |
| 7 | 1195 (not a motion command) |
| 1196 | |
| 1197 When using a count you jump as far back or forward as possible. Thus you can | |
| 1198 use "999g;" to go to the first change for which the position is still | |
| 1199 remembered. The number of entries in the change list is fixed and is the same | |
| 1200 as for the |jumplist|. | |
| 1201 | |
| 1202 When two undo-able changes are in the same line and at a column position less | |
| 1203 than 'textwidth' apart only the last one is remembered. This avoids that a | |
| 1204 sequence of small changes in a line, for example "xxxxx", adds many positions | |
| 1205 to the change list. When 'textwidth' is zero 'wrapmargin' is used. When that | |
| 1206 also isn't set a fixed number of 79 is used. Detail: For the computations | |
| 1207 bytes are used, not characters, to avoid a speed penalty (this only matters | |
| 21991 | 1208 for multibyte encodings). |
| 7 | 1209 |
| 1210 Note that when text has been inserted or deleted the cursor position might be | |
| 1211 a bit different from the position of the change. Especially when lines have | |
| 1212 been deleted. | |
| 1213 | |
| 24278 | 1214 When the `:keepjumps` command modifier is used the position of a change is not |
| 7 | 1215 remembered. |
| 1216 | |
| 1217 *:changes* | |
| 1218 :changes Print the change list. A ">" character indicates the | |
| 1219 current position. Just after a change it is below the | |
| 14372 | 1220 newest entry, indicating that `g;` takes you to the |
| 7 | 1221 newest entry position. The first column indicates the |
| 1222 count needed to take you to this position. Example: | |
| 1223 | |
| 1224 change line col text ~ | |
| 1225 3 9 8 bla bla bla | |
| 1226 2 11 57 foo is a bar | |
| 1227 1 14 54 the latest changed line | |
| 1228 > | |
| 1229 | |
| 14372 | 1230 The `3g;` command takes you to line 9. Then the |
| 1231 output of `:changes` is: | |
| 7 | 1232 |
| 1233 change line col text ~ | |
| 1234 > 0 9 8 bla bla bla | |
| 1235 1 11 57 foo is a bar | |
| 1236 2 14 54 the latest changed line | |
| 1237 | |
| 1238 Now you can use "g," to go to line 11 and "2g," to go | |
| 1239 to line 14. | |

| 1247 Items can be: | |

| 7 | 1256 For other items the matchit plugin can be used, see |
| 1621 | 1257 |matchit-install|. This plugin also helps to skip |
| 1258 matches in comments. | |
| 7 | 1259 |
| 1260 When 'cpoptions' contains "M" |cpo-M| backslashes | |
| 1261 before parens and braces are ignored. Without "M" the | |
| 1262 number of backslashes matters: an even number doesn't | |
| 1263 match with an odd number. Thus in "( \) )" and "\( ( | |
| 1264 \)" the first and last parenthesis match. | |

| 1268 ignored, unless the number of parens/braces in a line | |
| 1269 is uneven and this line and the previous one does not | |
| 1270 end in a backslash. '(', '{', '[', ']', '}' and ')' | |
| 1271 are also ignored (parens and braces inside single | |
| 1272 quotes). Note that this works fine for C, but not for | |
| 1273 Perl, where single quotes are used for strings. | |

| 1296 The above four commands can be used to go to the start or end of the current | |
| 1297 code block. It is like doing "%" on the '(', ')', '{' or '}' at the other | |
| 1298 end of the code block, but you can do this from anywhere in the code block. | |

| 24278 | 1327 The above four commands assume that the file contains a class with methods. |
| 7 | 1328 The class definition is surrounded in '{' and '}'. Each method in the class |
| 1329 is also surrounded with '{' and '}'. This applies to the Java language. The | |
| 1330 file looks like this: > | |
| 1331 | |
| 1332 // comment | |
| 1333 class foo { | |
| 1334 int method_one() { | |
| 1335 body_one(); | |
| 1336 } | |
| 1337 int method_two() { | |
| 1338 body_two(); | |
| 1339 } | |
| 1340 } | |
| 24278 | 1341 |
| 1342 [To try this out copy the text and put it in a new buffer, the help text above | |
| 1343 confuses the jump commands] | |
| 1344 | |
| 7 | 1345 Starting with the cursor on "body_two()", using "[m" will jump to the '{' at |
| 1346 the start of "method_two()" (obviously this is much more useful when the | |
| 1347 method is long!). Using "2[m" will jump to the start of "method_one()". | |
| 1348 Using "3[m" will jump to the start of the class. | |
