Is there a short space to go back to the beginning of the file with vi?

Question

When reading a long file with the vi editor, it would be nice to go back to the beginning of the file with some short cuts when you really need to do this. Even ctrl + B sometimes happens too slowly. Does anyone know such a tool?

Answer 1

After opening a file with vi

1) You can press Shift + g to go to the end of the file

and

2) Press g twice to skip to the beginning of the file

NOTE: - g is case sensitive (thanks to @Ben for specifying it)

Answer 2

using :<line number> you can go to any line, this way :1 will take you to the first line.

Answer 3

Enter 1G and it will take you to the beginning of the file. Conversely, G will lead you to the end of the file.

Answer 4

• Shift + g ---> Go to the bottom of the file.
• Shift + GG ---> Go to the beginning of the file.

Answer 5

: 1 will bring you to the first line
