Is it possible to go back to the previous edit place in vim? I know using marks, one can move back and forth between different places within a file, but I don't know whether or not vim could automatically remember the previous edit place for you.

With the CTRL-O and CTRL-I command you can go to cursor positions before older jumps, and back again.
In insert mode, Ctrl-o escapes user to do one normal-mode command, and then return to the insert mode. The same effect can be achieved by <ESC> ing to normal mode, doing the single command and then entering back to insert mode. Ctrl-i is simply a <Tab> in insert mode.
In short press the Esc key and then press Shift + G to move cursor to end of file in vi or vim text editor under Linux and Unix-like systems.
CTRL-^ Edit the alternate file. Mostly the alternate file is the previously edited file. This is a quick way to toggle between two files. It is equivalent to ":e #", except that it also works when there is no file name.
I use the following (from the documentation):
g; Go to [count] older position in change list. g, Go to [count] newer cursor position in change list. Do :help g, to read more about this

The last change is held in the mark named . so you can jump to the mark with `. (backtick, dot) or '. (apostrophe, dot). See:
:help mark-motions :help '. If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
