How to jump back and forward in Vim

Scrolling left, right, up and down is easy in Vim using the hjkl keys. But, you can also move around by jumping between the results of a search or many other non-scrolling methods to change positions. It is easy to jump back and forward among these jump locations in Vim.

To jump back to an older jump position, press Ctrl-o

To jump forward to a newer jump position, press Ctrl-i
