minus-squarepearable@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoRelative lines means each line except the one your cursor is on is relative to your current line. Like this: 5 5k jumps here 4 3 2 1 6 your cursor is here 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 8j jumps here The main reason I like it is I don’t like mouse ergonomics. Keeping my hands on the keyboard just feels better
