That won't work, though, if you have the 'scrolloff' option set to a
non-zero value.

If you had it set to 5 then 'H' would take you to the 6th line from
the top of the screen and 'L' would take you to the 6th line from the
bottom of the screen.

I'm not sure if there's any simple way to get around that. You could
write some vim script that calls 'H' and then moves the cursor up
'scrolloff' + 1 lines, then calls 'V' then 'L' and then moves the
cursor down 'scrolloff' + 2 lines.
