Horizontal Scroll

zs, ze, zh, zl โ€” scroll left/right when wrap is off.

Keys: zs, ze, zh, zl, zH, zL

When wrap is off, long lines run off the screen. Horizontal scrolling commands let you see the rest. zs scrolls so the cursor is at the left edge; ze at the right.

Long single-line content (logs, JSON, CSV) runs off the right edge when wrap is off. The z-family includes a horizontal scroll group that mirrors the vertical one.
