I use vim (after years of being a happy emacs user — switched due to RSI), but I've never liked its help system. Compared to emacs, it's incredibly hard to navigate and it just doesn't have anything as powerful as C-h k (what does this key do?).
- Watabou 12y agoWhat do you feel that Vim's help in that area is lacking? I think searching for a key binding is pretty straightforward with `:h {key}`. I like how it's short and simple they are most of the time too so you can read and get back to whatever you were doing.
- manveru 12y agoYou can actually use ^V to insert control characters in vim, for example: `:h ^V^W^V^W` will search for CTRL-W CTRL-W. Now I just wish `:h ^V` would actually tell you about this feature.
