I'm trying to get this to work, first I press *g *followed by *CTRL+G* 
although nothing happens ?

g CTRL-G 

Prints the current position of the cursor in five ways: Column, Line, Word, 
Character and Byte. If the number of Characters and Bytes is the same then 
the Character position is omitted. If there are characters in the line that 
take more than one position on the screen (<Tab> or special character), or 
characters using more than one byte per column (characters above 0x7F when 
'encoding' is utf-8), both the byte column and the screen column are shown, 
separated by a dash.
