Question

I recently discovered Ctrl+E and Ctrl+Y shortcuts for Vim that respectively move the screen up and down with a one line step, without moving the cursor.

Do you know any command that leaves the cursor where it is but moves the screen so that the line which has the cursor becomes the first line? (having a command for the last line would be a nice bonus).

I can achieve this by manually pressing Ctrl+E (or Ctrl+Y) the proper number of times, but having a command that somehow does this directly would be nice.

Any ideas?

• zz – move current line to the middle
  of the screen (warning: ZZ is save and exit, so watch out for caps lock)
• zt – move current line
  to the top of the screen
• zb – move
  current line to the bottom of the
  screen
