Returning to previous line with Vim
I was wondering if there's a way to return to the previous line you were on in Vim.
Say, for example, I'm writing C code and I just wanted to add an #include at the top of the page: I press gg and go to the top, add the #include, and then I want to return to the line I left off of.
Is this possible in Vim?
Solution 1:
Yes. You can use `` in order to jump between the last two positions.
Otherwise, Ctrl+O and Ctrl+I can help you. See :help CTRL-I.
Solution 2:
Use a mark:
ma
marks the spot (before the gg)
`a
brings you back.
