05. Navigating the screen H, L, M, ctrl+e, ctrl+y
Great progress! Your navigational skills are getting great! :-)
Now let's look at how to navigating through your screen.
To navigate around the screen:
H - to the top of the screen
4H moves 4 lines below the top
L - to the bottom of the screen
3L moves 3 lines above the last line
M - to midscreen
Let's just place some
filler text here
to extend
this file length
so you can have
more
space.
Now how about scrolling along the screen?
Use:
ctrl+e - move the screen one line up
ctrl+y - move the screen one line down
