Precision Number Navigation

Estimated time: 10 minutes

Task Instructions

Practice precise movement using count modifiers with movement commands

Practice jumping to specific targets using count modifiers. From Start, use 4j to reach Target A. Calculate the exact number of lines between targets and use precise count+movement commands.

Learning objectives

  • Master count modifiers with movement
  • Develop ability to calculate distances
  • Improve navigation efficiency

Required Keystrokes

This lesson requires you to use specific keystrokes to complete it. Your submission will be evaluated based on whether you used the required keystrokes mentioned below, rather than matching a specific output.

\d+j
Use count with j movement
\d+k
Use count with k movement

What This Means

  • Your solution must include the required keystroke patterns
  • The order of keystrokes may matter depending on the exercise
  • You'll still need to achieve the expected output
  • This helps you practice specific Vim techniques

Helpful commands:

Command Description
[count]j Move down [count] lines
[count]k Move up [count] lines
[count]h Move left [count] characters
[count]l Move right [count] characters

Hints

  • Count the lines between your position and target
  • Use 10j to move down exactly 10 lines
  • Combine with horizontal movement: 20l moves 20 characters right
