I see, thank you. That did help!

Thanks. Often there would not have been a change in the spot that I
need to get back to, such as when I'm trying to figure out somebody
else's code. Frustratingly, `` takes me to the end of the current
line. There seems to be a problem with my .vimrc, as starting with no
config file aliviates the problem as per Tim's advice below. I'll
address that shortly. Thanks.

Thanks.

Thank you. The gd and gD commands are helpful. I have problems with
ctags for some reason, I should really try to solve that.

Starting with no config file does in fact solve the issue, and fixes
both Ctrl-O and the `` issue mentioned above. My .vimrc is a mess that
I need to clean up, but I don't see where the conflict may be. Any
ideas:
