    Not “move the current line of code”, but instead “jump the cursor a number of lines”

      Oh so like page up/down then? Not exactly showing the raw power of Vim when you can use an existing key press! 😄

        I can’t tell if you’re trolling; Page up and page down are different from “I need to jump 10 lines down” with 10j. Or 11 lines with 11j. Or “Delete the line I’m on and the six below it” with d6j.

          They’re not significantly different. Maybe it takes you 1s and me 2s. Not worth the effort of learning. Especially because Vim comes with significant downsides compared to full IDEs that will make you slower overall.
