Is there a way to navigate between two positions in a document when one is editing it?
On insert mode <c-o> allows you to run a normal command.
I would get out insert mode, jump to the other position and use "gi" to get back insert mode on the last insert point

Another option, split current window with "ctrl-w v". On the split window, perform actions and close with "ctrl-w q".
SA
If you need to jump to another place And get back you can mark the current position, let's say 'ma', creating mark 'a', use single quote + letter to get back to any mark, like "'a"
SA
Another option Ctrl+o in normal mode to get back to the last position on the jump list, ctrl-i goes to the newer position on the jump list
SA
g; goes to older position on "changelist" and g, goes to newer position

comparing two files
Open them side by side
vim -O foo.txt bar.txt
:set scrollbind
In both. Now they move together

That's pretty useful.

It's also pretty cool setting:
cursorline
cursorbind
I am trying to set all this at the command line at once
cursorline

SA
after opening the two files run:
:silent windo set scrollback cursorbind cursorline
:silent windo set scrollback cursorbind cursorline
SA
windo command runs each command in all opened windows
SA
try tyis:
vim -O test.txt test2.txt +'silent windo set scrollbind cursorbind cursorline'
vim -O test.txt test2.txt +'silent windo set scrollbind cursorbind cursorline'
SA
are there abbretiated versions
vim -O test.txt test2.txt +'silent windo set scb crb cul'
vim -O test.txt test2.txt +'silent windo set scb crb cul'

Press in normal mode:
1 Ctrl-g
vim shows you the full path of the file
2 Ctrl-g
Vim shows you also the buffer number

Vim select mode, jumping to the other edge.
Let's say you have to extend or diminish one selected area. You just need press 'o' and use j or k or even l or h
