Jumping with precision

So far, we’ve been using 'a to jump to the a mark. If you are incredibly observant, you might have noticed that this only jumps us to the line where the mark is set. This is fine for most use cases, but for the rare few times when you do need more precision, Vim’s got you covered.

You can use the backtick key ` followed by the mark — for example, `a — to jump to the exact row and column where a mark is set.

Let’s try this. Set the 'a, 'b, and 'c marks with ma, mb, and mc as usual. But this time, jump to them using the ` key instead of the ' key.
