Center current line in Vim with zz

Controlling position of cursor on screen with zz

Using zz to centre current line in your screen

• Pressing zz (lowercase) in vim will center the cursor/current line on the screen.
• Useful if you are near the bottom or top of the screen and want to see lines higher/lower, without changing what line you’re still on.
• Note: you can also use the :set scrolloff=5 to always ensure your current line is 5 lines from the top/bottom of screen.
