You want to jump like a kangaroo? So, let’s start with vertical jumping :).

First, open Vim.js and do this:

  
  :set relativenumber

Then let’s say we have something like this: Vim

My cursor is at line 1. And I want to jump all the way down to the var LibraryVIM. Copy LibraryVIM, then I want to go up above the line where vim_lib.js is and paste what I’ve copied.

I will do:

29j - to jump 29 lines down

w yiw - w to go the next word and yiw to copy that word

28k - to jump 27 lines up

p - to paste

Now let’s say I want to jump up to the Copyright line, but to the end of the line and add dot at the end.

I will do:

4$ - to jump 3 lines down including current line and to the end of the line

a. - to append dot at the end

Now I want to jump to the line where var LibraryVIM is, find var and change it to const.

I will do:

25j 0 - to jump 25 lines down and 0 to jump to the start of the line

ciw const - to change var to const

Now jump to the vim.js and start jumping like a kangaroo :)

Thanks to Lu Wang for creating vim.js.
