Line Motions

0 / ^ / $ — the three places that matter on a line.

Keys: 0, ^, $

0 jumps to column 0. ^ jumps to the first non-blank character. $ jumps to the end of the line. They're motions, so d$ deletes to end of line, c0 changes to start.

A line has three interesting positions: the actual start (column 0), the first non-blank character (where the code begins), and the end. Vim gives them three keys.

Reference

Worked example — 0 ^ $

Three flavors of line start/end.

Use ^ when you want code, 0 when you want column zero, $ to land on the last char.
