I know that gg and G can move the cursor to the top and bottom of the file. But is there a way to jump to the top or bottom of the visible window?

Capital H does not work for me. I'm using Linux ubuntuxfr 5.4.0-77-generic #86~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 18 01:23:22 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux i can only get the cursor within 5 or sometimes 6 lines from the top of the window ( unless i'm editing one of the very first lines in the file ). Other distros i've used in the past did not have this issue. thoughts ?– ochoaJul 18, 2021 at 23:11

Type H (capital H, H for "high") to move to the top of the screen.
Type M (capital M, M for "middle") to move to the middle of the screen.
Type L (capital L, L for "low") to move to the bottom of the screen.

4Since
jmoves down andkmoves up, it's a little awkward thatJandKdon't make these top/bottom movements. Is there a mnemonic to remember these by, similar toMfor "middle" like @Caco points out? Mar 4, 2020 at 3:02 -

1@Marcio I also edited the answer to include the mnemonics, since you were not the only one to comment on it... Thanks for your contribution and welcome to the site!– filbranden ♦May 28, 2021 at 16:32
