# Moving To A Specific Line
|
||||
|
||||
Often times when I open a new buffer, it is with the intention of moving to
|
||||
a particular line. For example, if I am trying to move to line 55 in the
|
||||
file, then I will hit `55j`\*. This works fine when I am dealing with a
|
||||
freshly opened buffer. That is, this works fine if I am starting from the
|
||||
top of the buffer.
|
||||
|
||||
In general, there is a better approach. I can move to an exact line number
|
||||
from normal mode with `:{N}` where `{N}` is the line number. So, if I want
|
||||
to get to line 55 regardless of where I am currently positioned in the
|
||||
buffer, I can simply hit `:55<cr>`.
|
||||
|
||||
\* *This actually is slightly inaccurate, it moves me to line 56, not 55.
|
||||
If I need to be precise, this doesn't cut it.*
