Re: jumping to a line number

[Yehuda Bamnolker <Yehuda Bamnolker]

Tennis.

You can do:

  CTRL-u <num> DOWN-ARROW

This will bring the cursor down "num" lines ('ctrl-u 23 down-arrow' in your
case). In fact you should be able to prefix any emacs command with 'ctrl-u
count' to repeat the command 'count' times.
