Yes, you did. Vim is a modal editor:
In _Normal_ mode, mx sets the mark named x (not a fold marker) at the
current cursor location (line and column).
In _command-line_ mode (i.e., in a Vim script or after hitting the colon
key in Normal mode) mark x can be set to column zero of the current line
by means of any of
mark x
mar x
ma x
as an ex-command; but there ":m" is the ":move" command.
In either case, you can go back to the mark line and column by hitting
`x in Normal mode, to the mark line by means of 'x, or you can use 'x as
a line number as part of a |range|.
Best regards,
Tony.
