I am trying out the new XPages and they are looking very cool!
I was curious on how I could recreate some functionality I use currently with as $$ViewTemplateDefault. For most views we have a pre-built $$ViewTemplateDefault that has many view navigation actions (like First, Last, Next, etc…) included are a ‘jump’ that allows a move down the view using the StartKey parameter and a ‘# lines’ that allows the changing of the number of lines displayed using the count URL parameter.
How do I recreate those types of options when using a View control and a Pager control on a XPage?
Also can you have one XPage that is used for many views or should I separate my page to several custom controls and and make a XPage per view and just add in my custom controls?

You can create a custom control that encapsulate all those functions and the reuse this control nto your XPages. The Table and View controls have methods like this:
public boolean gotoFirstPage();
public boolean gotoPreviousPage();
public boolean gotoNextPage();
public boolean gotoLastPage();
public boolean gotoRow(int row);
that you can use, for example, when a button is clicked. You you can find the row you want to jump to, and call those methods

Create an XPage per view and add you custom control.
