How do I move to end of line in Vim?

Question

I know how to generally move around in command mode, specifically, jumping to lines, etc. But what is the command to jump to the end of the line that I am currently on?

Answer 1

As lots of people have said:

• $ gets you to the end of the line

but also:

• ^ or _ gets you to the first non-whitespace character in the line, and
• 0 (zero) gets you to the beginning of the line incl. whitespace

Answer 2

Just the $ (dollar sign) key. You can use A to move to the end of the line and switch to editing mode (Append). To jump the last non-blank character, you can press g then _ keys.

The opposite of A is I (Insert mode at beginning of line), as an aside. Pressing just the ^ will place your cursor at the first non-white-space character of the line.
