Questions tagged [navigation]
Use the navigation tag for questions about moving around: to different places within a file/buffer (i.e., beginning, end, across paragraphs and code blocks); from one window to another (i.e., changing which window you are working in, and which files/buffers are displayed in each window). Use tag [motion] instead, for moving point around.
