Hi,
Is there a way to return to a previous position (character) on the current line
after a jump to any other position on the *same* line? Suppose the cursor is at
some position on the line:
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
^
(cursor)
Then $ is pressed, putting the cursor at the EOL:
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
^
(cursor)
Now, how do I return, i.e. jump back, to the previous location (character 'r')
on the line?
If I had made changes at 'r' I could use 'g;' to return to it, but I'm asking
about the more general case where no changes were made at the original position.
Thank you.
Not sure about jumping to exact spot but I made a plugin
that jumps to 25%, 50% and 75% of text of current line (i.e.
it discards leading & trailing whitespace). I can share if
anyone's interested. I find it's usually close enough
that I can use w/b or W/B keys or f/F to get where I need.
