What does <++> mean in vim (latex-suite), and how do I jump there?

I am using vim-latex-suite and do not get how to jump to the <++> in expanded macros.

For example, when typing SSE in insert mode, I get:

/section{}<++>

What is the exact meaning of <++> and how do I move there?

You have to press CtrlJ.

That's a cursor placeholder, specific to the LaTeX suite. Sometimes there will be some text included. This page explains more on the suite included macros.

If my memory serves me right, you can use ctrl-J to move there.

It's a way to save key-presses when moving around.
