How do i remap G to do what G and zz do simultaneously ? In other words, I would like to move to the bottom of the page and then have the text moved to the middle of the screen.

I tried something like :

nnoremap G :norm Gzz<CR>

But Im getting the error : command too recursive

    You need :norm! to make it non-recursive. See :help :norm for more details. You can also just simply use nnoremap G Gzz, no?

    Yeah, just gonna say the same thing. nnoremap (and nmap) are for specifying Normal mode key maps. That means they accept Normal mode commands without having to use :norm[!].

It is as simple as

nnoremap G Gzz

No need to go into ex-mode. You want to bind G to do what Gzz would do originally.
