Hi,

There should be a way to make the current line that you're on scroll to the top of the screen right? I've googled for "vim scrolling" or "vim z". Apparently Google's search is not case sensitive.

Use Vim's built-in help:

:help z

gets you the list of all commands starting with z.  Similarly for:

:help g
:help CTRL-W
:help [

(Those are the ones that have the most "overloaded" behavior.)


On a somewhat related note, I notice that ZZ will quit. But isn't that exactly what :wq does? What's the difference?

ZZ is faster and easier to type. (Hold shift with right pinky, tap 'z' twice with left.) Also, it's equivalent to :x, not :wq. The help for :x explains:

"""
Like ":wq", but write only when changes have been made.
"""
