links: 010 Vim MOC
Vim remembers the locations you have recently visited(where you jumped from). Each position (file name, column number and line number) is recorded in a jump list, and each window has a separate jump list that records the last 100 positions where it jumped.
Using Jump list
Like a web browser, you can go back, then forward:
<ctrl>-o- Jump backward to the previous location<ctrl>-i- Jump forward to the next location
Display the jump list in current window
