The opposite of L is H. From :h L:

                                                H
H                       To line [count] from top (Home) of window (default:
                        first line on the window) on the first non-blank
                        character linewise.  See also 'startofline' option.
                        Cursor is adjusted for 'scrolloff' option.

                                                M
M                       To Middle line of window, on the first non-blank
                        character linewise.  See also 'startofline' option.

                                                L
L                       To line [count] from bottom of window (default: Last
                        line on the window) on the first non-blank character
                        linewise.  See also 'startofline' option.
                        Cursor is adjusted for 'scrolloff' option.

    As a mnemonic think of H, M, and L as high, middle, and low Apr 1, 2016 at 15:59
  • @PeterRincker that's the natural interpretation. Any idea why the help text preferred Home/Middle/Last?
