How do I move backward to a character on the current line?

Explanation

The F command moves the cursor backward to the previous occurrence of a specified character on the current line. It is the reverse counterpart of f.

How it works

• F followed by any character searches backward on the current line
• The cursor lands on the target character
• Only searches within the current line

Example

const result = getValue()

With the cursor on ), pressing Fv moves the cursor to v in getValue.

Tips

• ; repeats the last character search in the same direction
• , repeats it in the opposite direction
• Combine with operators: dF( deletes backward through (
• T{char} moves backward to just after the character
