Vim will move the cursor to the beginning of an object after invoking operator upon it. From an interactive editing perspective this may be considered annoying however it is the consistent choice as operators can be destructive. As such restoring the cursor to its prior position after invoking an operator on an object may not make sense.

There are many ways possible to alter this behaviour to your preference with mappings and/or scripting. But with custom operator mappings this can be particularly ugly.

Quickfix alternative to :g/foo/#

:help :global is an incredibly cool command.

One thing I like to do with :global is to list lines matching a given pattern in the current file and use that to move around. It looks like this:

:g/let/#
 7         let &path .= 'src/**,public/**,static/**'
 31     unlet b:gqview

33 nmap GQ :let b:gqview = winsaveview():set opfunc=Formatg@

Automatic file marks

File marks are like regular marks except that they are associated with a specific file, which makes them pretty useful for quick file navigation. One use that is commonly mentionned would be to add a V mark to one's vimrc, for example, which would make editing it only one 'V away.

Here, a mnemonic mark is left when leaving files of a specific kind:

mark C for "CSS" and "SCSS",
mark H for "HTML",
etc.
