Vim - Go to previous location

Question

Say I open a file in vim. I start on line 1 column 1 and hold down j until I am on line 14. Pressing :7CR puts me on line 7. I press yy to "yank".

How do I return to line 14? Using CTRL + o takes me back to the top of the file. ` ` gives me the same results.

Answer 1

You can type 7G to jump to line#7, then type Ctrl-o to jump back.
:set showcmd to show what you have typed at the right bottom.

To yank line#7 (No cursor moving):

:7y 

To paste line#7 below line#14:

:7t14
