I’ve been using vim for 10+ years. However I honestly don’t see the downside of repeating h or j to move up/down (with the key repeat delay adjusted to a small value). It’s more intuitive than using say 15j, which involves recognizing some number in the screen and then look at the keyboard to type because the upper number row cannot be easily touch typed

C-d, C-u, {}, () and searches are better anyway. You should also be using g, so say you are defining a function and need to check where it's going to be used on main. For optimal usage you should always have main marked as something, so you would exit insert mode, gm, look around in main, gi to go back to where you were typing last
