"epic handshake" meme format with left arm superimposed with the text "Brazilians", whilst right one with "novice vim users"
on top of handshake, text reads "kkkkk".


for those who don't get it: Brazilians(maybe other Portuguese speakers too?) use "kkkkkk" or "rsrsrs" in texting to indicate laugh, similar to "haha".

pressing "k" in vim(in normal mode) makes the cursor go one line up. for efficient navigation, a number before a navigation key(h,j,k,l) can be used. e.g.: 10k to go 10 lines up.

also, "relative line numbers" might be a setting you may wish to turn on in case you need to jump several lines up.
you can also use Ctrl+d, Ctrl+u(or their full page counterparts Ctrl+f, Ctrl+b for quick navigation, but that's a tip for some other day. :)
