How do I use `:jumps` in vim? How can I go back to a certain jump point in the past?

I saw https://medium.com/@kadek/understanding-vims-jump-list-7e1bfc72cdf0. So when I did :jumps, I could see the jumps in the past and in the future from where I am. I wanted to go back to the jump 6 in the past.

:jumps
 jump line  col file/text

  12     1    0 /tmp/uu
  11    10    0 /tmp/uu

   7  2284   11 gits_write_baser(val, its->base + GITS_BASER + (idx << 3));
   6  5011    1 its->base = its_base;
   5  4967    0
   4  4680   11 its->pre_its_base = pre_its_window[0];

   2  5238    2 its_probe_one(&res, &np->fwnode, of_node_to_nid(np));
   1  5233   37 if (of_address_to_resource(np, 0, &res)) {

But when I type 6g; as the above link said, nothing happens. What should I do to go back to 6 times back? (6 times ctrl-o).

To go back (up in the list), enter the jump number and then CTRL-O. To go forward (down in the list), enter the jump number and then CTRL-I (or Tab).

See :help jumps for more information.

Oh that was it. Thank you! I don't know why the original link didn't show it. And welcome to stackoverflow!

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
