It was partly for you and partly for other readers. It seemed to me that, based on your comment, you may not have known about some of the points I mentioned, like use of G with number modifiers instead of the "colon then <number> then Enter" method. Maybe I should have been more specific, and put the more general points in a separate comment. Also, I guess you may prefer to use the colon method even though the G method is one key less. I know I do at times, too :)

>Didn't know about the older terminal emulator issues with arrow keys though.

NP. Yes, I've found that some people do not know about those issues, which is why I mention them (and also, like others, recommend the use of the hjkl keys) in my quickstart tutorial that I mentioned elsewhere in this thread:
