Essential Motions
Find Character
Jump onto a visible character in the current line.
f searches forward, F searches backward, and ; repeats the last find. The motion stays within the current line and does nothing when no match exists.
Use f, F, and ; in the editor beside this lesson. Practice is where you learn it, with the answer a click away; the Test is graded, unaided, and the only thing that marks this lesson complete.

Practice to learn it. Test to prove it.
Practice keeps the answer a click away — endlessly in Free, or as a 15-goal run against par and your own best time in Timed. The Test gives you 8 goals with no hints and a keystroke budget on each; passing it is what marks this lesson complete.
