Because a Fountain script is structured text, there are plenty of ways to quickly move to where you want to be.

C-M-n ¶

Move to the next visible scene or section heading (fountain-outline-next).

C-M-p ¶

Move to the previous visible scene or section heading (fountain-outline-previous).

C-M-f ¶

Move forward to the next visible scene or section heading at same outline level (fountain-outline-forward)

C-M-b ¶

Move backward to the previous visible scene or section heading at the same outline level (fountain-outline-backward).

C-M-a ¶

Move to the beginning of the current scene or section (fountain-outline-beginning).

C-M-u ¶

Move up to the parent section heading (fountain-outline-up).

M-n ¶

Move to next character name (fountain-forward-character).

M-p ¶

Move to previous character name (fountain-backward-character).

C-x ] ¶

Move to next page. This command does not move by one page but actually moves to the next page-break point in the text pagination properties (fountain-forward-page).

C-x [ ¶

Move to previous page (fountain-backward-page).

M-g s ¶

Prompt for a scene number string and move to the specified scene. If scenes are numbered, this command will take you to the scene matching that string, otherwise it will count the scenes from beginning of the accessible buffer, recalculating when encountering a numbered scene (fountain-goto-scene).

M-g p ¶

Prompt for a number and move to the specified page. This command does not actually count pages but uses the text pagination properties (fountain-goto-page).
