**Fun fact**: In Emacs "yanking" stands for pasting (or _reinserting previously
killed text_) not copying.
#### Marks?
You use marks to remember a position, that is line number and column, in a file.
| Marks | Set by.. | Usage |
|-------|----------|-------|
| `a` - `z` | User | Local to file, thus only valid within one file. Jumping to a lowercase mark, means jumping within the current file. |
| `A` - `Z` | User | Global, thus valid between files. Also called _file marks_. Jumping to a file mark may switch to another buffer. |
| `0` - `9` | viminfo | `0` is the position when the viminfo file was written last. In practice this means when the last Vim process ended. `1` is the position of when the second last Vim process ended and so on. |
Put `'`/`g'` or `` ` ``/`` g` `` in front of a register to form a motion.
Use `mm` to remember the current position with mark "m". Move around the file
and then jump back via `'m` (first non-blank) or `` `m `` (exact column).
Lowercase marks will be remembed after exiting Vim, if you tell your viminfo
file to do so, see `:h viminfo-'`.
Use `mM` to remember the current position with file mark "M". Switch to another
buffer and switch back via `'M` or `` `M ``.
Other motions include:
| Motion | Jump to.. |
|------------------|-----------|
| `'[`, `` `[ `` | First line or character of previously changed or yanked text. |
| `']`, `` `] `` | Last line or character of previously changed or yanked text. |
| `'<`, `` `< `` | Beginning line or character of last visual selection. |
| `'>`, `` `> `` | Ending line or character of last visual selection. |
| `''`, ``` `` ``` | Position before latest jump. |
| `'"`, `` `" `` | Position when last exiting the current buffer. |
| `'^`, `` `^ `` | Position where last insertion stopped. |
| `'.`, `` `. `` | Position where last change was made. |
| `'(`, `` `( `` | Start of current sentence. |
| `')`, `` `) `` | End of current sentence. |
| `'{`, `` `{ `` | Start of current paragraph. |
| `'}`, `` `} `` | End of current paragraph. |
Marks can also be used in a [range](#ranges). You probably saw this before and
wondered what it means: Select some text in visual mode and do `:`, the
command-line will be prepended with `:'<,'>`, which means the following command
would get a range that denotes the visual selection.
Use `:marks` to list all marks. Read everything in `:h mark-motions`.
#### Motions? Operators? Text objects?
**Motions** move the cursor. You all know `h`/`j`/`k`/`l`. Or `w` and `b`. Even
