I have a small question: let's suppose I'm at the beginning of line 10 and I search a term with the command /term_to_search and then I press <Enter> to start navigating search results with n or N. Then I want to go back to the location I were before starting the search (the beginning of line 10). How can I do? I know that the commands CTRL+O and CTRL+I jump back and forth the list of jumps, but how can I do it in just one keypress? Do I need to define a new special mark to do that (if so, how)?
Thanks in advance.

Two options I can think of off the top of my head:
:[v]split, then search in only one window:nnoremap / mz/; then`zshould take you back. Only works for one search at a time (i.e. new searches overwrite the mark)

I do this by first creating a mark - for example, create a mark named "a" with ma in command mode – then search or move around the file however you want. Then go back to your mark with 'a.
