I never understood relative numbers. To really grok Vi you have to understand that you should minimize steps and looking at the relative line number and typing it in is not ergonomic, it's better to search most often, absolute line number movements are good when referencing a stack trace etc.
- timrichard 2y agoI didn't get on with the relative numbers either. In IdeaVim and VSCode, I've mapped the spacebar in Normal mode to EasyMotion. For jumps that aren't very close, you can land on any character you can see on the screen in 4-ish keystrokes.
