Yes. You can use ``` `` ``` in order to jump between the last two positions.

Otherwise, &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;O&lt;/kbd&gt; and &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;I&lt;/kbd&gt; can help you. See `:help CTRL-I`.

Use a mark:

    ma

marks the spot (before the `gg`)

    `a

brings you back.

I have been developing for quite a time and I am now trying to make an app that will replace the original home (e.g. HTC sense).

I need the app to open when the the user hits the home button on their phone.

So basically it is a home replacement.

Does any one know how to go about this?

What&#39;s the difference between jQuery .val() and .attr(&#39;value&#39;)?

I was wondering if there&#39;s a way to return to the previous line you were on in Vim.

Say, for example, I&#39;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? 


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 <code>#include</code> at the top of the page: I press <code>gg</code> and go to the top, add the <code>#include</code>, and then I want to return to the line I left off of.
Is this possible in Vim?

Is there a way to move the cursor a relative amount of lines in vi/vim? Say you have the cursor 10 lines under a block of code you want to remove. If you have the line numbers shown in relative order, it would be nice to have a &quot;jump 10 lines up command&quot; that would take you there.

Or perhaps it&#39;s better to have the absolute line numbers shown and go xgg where x is the line number?

Move cursor x lines from current position in vi/vim

In my vim plugin, I have two files:

    myplugin/plugin.vim
    myplugin/plugin_helpers.py

I would like to import plugin_helpers from plugin.vim (using the vim python support), so I believe I first need to put the directory of my plugin on python&#39;s sys.path.

How can I (in vimscript) get the path to the currently executing script? In python, this is `__file__`. In ruby, it&#39;s `__FILE__`. I couldn&#39;t find anything similar for vim by googling, can it be done?


**Note:** I am not looking for the currently *edited* file (&quot;%:p&quot; and friends).

Whenever I use the `:sav` command, it saves the file with a new name and opens the new file open in Vim.  

Is it possible to save the file with a new name but keep the original one open for editing?


How to save as a new file and keep working on the original one in Vim?

 1. When I open the file it looks like this: 
![enter image description here][1]
 or even this 
![enter image description here][2]
 2. When I open all folds, they are closed again when I navigated to another buffer and came back. 
 3. To be able to work with it, I have to apply `zR` each time when opening a buffer.

I have these set up in `.vimrc`:

    set foldlevelstart=99
    set foldlevel=99

Please point me on how to disable the folding, or at least making the navigation to another buffer not to close the opened ones.

Confusion about vim folding - how to disable?

I&#39;m trying to get setup with (exuberant) ctags on Vim today and am having difficulty getting it to work properly. I generate my ctags file on the command line with with:

    cd myproj
    ctags -R

This puts the tags file in myproj root. However, Vim only seems to read from this tags file when I&#39;m working on source that reside in root. As I navigate to deeper directories, if I try to jump to a tag using `&lt;C-]&gt;`, I get:

    E433: No tags file
    E426: tag not found: MyClassName

I&#39;ve verified that MyClassName does have a tag in the tags file, it&#39;s just that Vim doesn&#39;t see it. Can someone please explain how to configure Vim to reference the root&#39;s tags file?

Thanks.



Vim: Difficulty setting up ctags. Source in subdirectories don&#39;t see tags file in project root

In Vim&#39;s normal mode:

 * &lt;kbd&gt;e&lt;/kbd&gt; goes to the end of the next word
 * &lt;kbd&gt;w&lt;/kbd&gt; goes to the beginning of the next word
 * &lt;kbd&gt;b&lt;/kbd&gt; goes to the beginning of the previous word

How do you move the cursor to the *end* of the *previous* word?

In Vim/Vi, how do you move the cursor to the end of the previous word?

I am trying to create a new file with NERDTree. I hit the &lt;kbd&gt;a&lt;/kbd&gt; key to create a new file and I get the message:

`E21: Cannot make changes, &#39;Modifiable&#39; is off`


I&#39;m using MacVim with Janus (almost out of the box).

How do I delete a block of text from the current cursor row to a given line number in vi?

For example:

     49 &lt;j:set var=&quot;changeSet&quot; value=&quot;${build.changeSet}&quot; /&gt; &lt;----- delete from here (cursor position)
     50 &lt;j:if test=&quot;${changeSet!=null}&quot;&gt;
     51   &lt;j:set var=&quot;hadChanges&quot; value=&quot;false&quot; /&gt;
     52   &lt;TABLE width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt;
     53     &lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD class=&quot;bg1&quot; colspan=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;B&gt;CHANGES&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;
     54     &lt;j:forEach var=&quot;cs&quot; items=&quot;${changeSet.logs}&quot; varStatus=&quot;loop&quot;&gt;
     55       &lt;j:set var=&quot;hadChanges&quot; value=&quot;true&quot; /&gt;
     56       &lt;j:set var=&quot;aUser&quot; value=&quot;${cs.hudsonUser}&quot;/&gt;
     57       &lt;TR&gt;
     58         &lt;TD colspan=&quot;2&quot; class=&quot;bg2&quot;&gt;${spc}Revision &lt;B&gt;${cs.revision}&lt;/B&gt; by
     59           &lt;B&gt;&lt;j:choose&gt;
     60             &lt;j:when test=&quot;${aUser!=null}&quot;&gt;${aUser.displayName}: &lt;/j:when&gt;
     61             &lt;j:otherwise&gt;${cs.user}: &lt;/j:otherwise&gt;
     62           &lt;/j:choose&gt;&lt;/B&gt;
     63           &lt;B&gt;(${cs.msgAnnotated})&lt;/B&gt;                &lt;----- to here (line 63)
     64          &lt;/TD&gt;
     65       &lt;/TR&gt;
     66       &lt;j:forEach var=&quot;p&quot; items=&quot;${cs.paths}&quot;&gt;
     67         &lt;TR&gt;
     68           &lt;TD width=&quot;10%&quot;&gt;


In Vim I would usually use the visual selection mode for this, but I don&#39;t have Vim at my disposal on this server. It would also be quicker to specify a line number rather than counting how many lines are within the block in some cases.
