Ctrl+O jumps backward to the previous location.
Ctrl+I jumps forward to the next location.
:jumps or :ju gives you a jump list.
Use jump number followed by Ctrl+O to jump to that particular location.
Ex: 20Ctrl+O

Use
``
(backtick, backtick)
This sends you back to the place you last jumped from. To learn more about this, type :help ''. That whole help document is worth reading.

if I input `:78` to line 78, and I want to jump to previous line, the `\`\`` seems just jump to line 1. What should I do? – GoingMyWay Sep 19 '15 at 06:19

@Alexander, could you clarify what do you mean by 'previous line'? Line 77? You can get there with `k`. – And R Sep 19 '15 at 06:51

This not line 77, for example the current line is `290` and I input `:77`, and now it jumps to line `77` and the previous line is `290`. – GoingMyWay Sep 19 '15 at 06:53

@Alexander: Just try Ctrl-O and Ctrl-I for a couple of times, you will understand. – Sagar Jain Sep 19 '15 at 06:54
