Say I open a file in vim. I start on line 1 column 1 and hold down j until I am on line 14. Pressing :7CR puts me on line 7. I press yy to "yank".

How do I return to line 14? Using CTRL + o takes me back to the top of the file. ` ` gives me the same results.

    You can type 7G to jump to line#7, then type Ctrl-o to jump back.
    :set showcmd to show what you have typed at the right bottom.

    To yank line#7 (No cursor moving):

    :7y

    To paste line#7 below line#14:

    :7t14
