A naked range is also a "go to line":

:1234
goes to line 1234

:$-5
goes to 5 lines above the last line (i.e. the 6th line from the end)

:.+10
goes 10 lines down

:'B+2
goes to the file containing mark 'B, 2 lines after the mark

:'>-2
goes to 2 lines higher than the end of the latest Visual area

You can also use relative line numbers after a search:

/^\s*}$/-1
goes to the line before the next line containing only zero or more
whitespace and one closing brace

?^$?+1
goes to the first line after the previous empty line

etc.

Tony.
