Doing something like 5G, the location before jumping to the 5th line gets added to the jumplist.
However, if you do 5j or 5k - they do not. You need to manually do m+backtick and then do 5j.
I'm interested is there any reasoning for this? Seems such a weird default behavior.
because ‘j’ isn’t a jump motion (:h jump-motions). Even with a count before it, while it acts like a ‘jump’, it’s only a modifier to multiply ‘j’ [count] times
