But if we do want to make this easier, I'd go with a new command-line switch, say, "--eob". The Vim way is cryptic and error-prone, so I don't think we should do the same. And I don't see at all why would someone needs to say "N lines from EOF".One possible use case is "open a log file to look at the last N entries".Going to EOB displays more than just the last line.
Yes, but point is not on the Nth line counting from EOF.
And the request was only to be able to go to EOB.
Indeed. Like you I didn't like the Vim way, so I tried to imagine something better. But I don't think TRT here is to add yet another command line switch, when an already existing one can be extended naturally to do the same thing.
Anyway, that was just a proposal, somehow I feel you don't like it, so I don't think it's useful to continue arguing. I attach it again (I forgot a modification to the Emacs manpage in the previous one) just in case.
