Scrolling Relative to the Cursor

If you hit zt while in normal mode, the window will be redrawn such that the line the cursor is positioned on is at the top of the window. Similarly, if you hit zb, the window will be redrawn such that the line the cursor is currently on will be at the bottom of the window.

The one that comes in really handy, though, is zz (note: this is not ZZ) which will reposition the current line to the center of the screen. This can come in really handy if you have scrolled to the top (or bottom) of the visible part of the buffer and you want to quickly view more of the context around the current line.

See :h scroll-cursor for more details and commands.
