There are several navigation commands I left out of this video to help keep it simple.
First, you can precede the arrow keys with numbers. So, if you want to move to the right 20 characters, you would type
20[RightArrow]
You can do the same thing when moving up or down lines. So, to move down 6 lines, you'd type
6[DownArrow]
You can do the same thing with the 'w' command to move between words, so
10w
will move you forward ten words in your document.
i like the way you explain. simple and direct to the point. very good explanation.
