The other answers already say that you can move to the beginning of the line with 0 or ^.

However they do not mention that you can instead use capital I to directly enter INSERT mode at the beginning of the line, so you don't have to press 0 and then lowercase i seperately. The end-of-line equivalent is capital A.

Assuming there is text in your file, while in normal mode:

  1. Press $(shift + 4) to go to end of a line
  2. Press ^(shift + 6) to go to beginning of a line

Press 0 to go to the beginning of a line, or ^ to go to the first non-blank character in a line.
