I know 0 goes to the beginning of line and $ goes to the end, but is there something for the middle?

:call cursor(0, len(getline('.'))/2)Typing gm would do it, but it moves by screen lines (see :help gm). In order to get it working with text lines, one can remap this command:
map gm :call cursor(0, virtcol('$')/2)<CR>Here is a solution that will respect hardtabs, and multi-bytes characters as well.
:exe 'normal '.(virtcol('$')/2).'|'Here is the best solution that I have found. Jumping exactly to the middle of the line is not very practical. You will most likely still need to move the cursor a few positions after moving to the middle. What if you could jump to a specific character? Many people just search for the character, then hit "next" until they reach it. This is slow. The Easy-motion plugin offers a better solution.
My favorite is <leader><leader>s then the character you want to jump to. Easy Motion replaces all matches with different letters for you to choose from. See the tutorial. Its a life-changing plugin...
Personally I use:
map g1 :call cursor(0, virtcol('$')/0)<CR>
map g2 :call cursor(0, virtcol('$')/4)<CR>
map g3 :call cursor(0, virtcol('$')/2)<CR>
map g4 :call cursor(0, virtcol('$')/3*2)<CR>
map g5 :call cursor(0, virtcol('$'))<CR>To center vertically 0% - 25% - 50% - 75% - 100%
