How to jump upwards in easymotion plugin for VIM?

Question

How to jump to the lines above the cursor while using the easymotion plugin in vim?

Your desktop looks good but I can't see a damn thing in this tiny window. Try adding a code sample to your question instead. — romainl, Oct 06 '11 at 15:52

To search words backwards use <Leader><Leader>b
Try <Leader><Leader>B to search WORDS

Can you please explain the difference between two? Documentation has similar description for both, except one searches for *words* and other for *WORDS*. But what is the difference between words and WORDS in this context? – Andrew-Dufresne Oct 29 '13 at 19:06

For anyone else who might come to this thread in the future, and is curious about this as I was: The difference is explained here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14390519/whats-the-difference-between-b-and-b-in-vim The key takeaway is: "The difference is that vim considers a "word" to be letters, numbers, and underscores [...], but a "WORD" is always anything that isn't whitespace." – ebenpack Jul 25 '14 at 14:41

<leader><leader>f will search forward while <leader><leader>F will search backward (and such upward!). Same with t and T.

This is analogous to standard Vim motion f / F

This is all explained in :help easymotion.txt
