Vim Tip: Using markers

Post by Nico Brailovsky @ 2009-04-20 | Permalink | Leave a comment

Set a marker if you whish Vim to remember a cursor position Use m* to mark current position (use a to z for position names) and then '* to move to mark * (again, a to z).

This trick can be very useful when editing a large file (or lots of files) in case you need to quickly edit something and then return to the previous spot.
