Vim - help
Vim has built in help, and some believe that it is one of the best resources for
learning about vim. So launch vim and type:
:help
One you get done reading whatever it is you are reading, ":q" will exit the help display.
To get help on a specific topic do something like:
:help c
g, q, and z
Each of these is "overloaded" in normal mode with a host of hidden commands.
:help g (or q or z) will get you started.
Try q: or q/
Have any comments? Questions?
