I am new to Vim. My code file has 300 lines. Suppose currently the cursor is on line 254, and I used gg command the cursor turn to line 1. I want to go back to line 254 but I forget that line number. Is there a command the can do this?

Use `` to jump back to the exact position you were in before you searched/jumped, or '' to jump back to the start of the line you were on before you searched/jumped.
You can also use CTRL+O and CTRL+I for jumping back and forward.

1One really powerful thing about Ctrl+O and Ctrl+I is that it will even jump between files! – Hovercouch Sep 20 '15 at 18:36
