*help.txt* For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2020 Aug 15
VIM - main help file
k
Move around: Use the cursor keys, or "h" to go left, h l
"j" to go down, "k" to go up, "l" to go right. j
Close this window: Use ":q<Enter>".
Get out of Vim: Use ":qa!<Enter>" (careful, all changes are lost!).
Jump to a subject: Position the cursor on a tag (e.g. |bars|) and hit CTRL-].
With the mouse: ":set mouse=a" to enable the mouse (in xterm or GUI).
Double-click the left mouse button on a tag, e.g. |bars|.
Jump back: Type CTRL-O. Repeat to go further back.
Get specific help: It is possible to go directly to whatever you want help
on, by giving an argument to the |:help| command.
Prepend something to specify the context: *help-context*
WHAT PREPEND EXAMPLE ~
Normal mode command :help x
Visual mode command v_ :help v_u
Insert mode command i_ :help i_<Esc>
Command-line command : :help :quit
Command-line editing c_ :help c_<Del>
Vim command argument - :help -r
Option ' :help 'textwidth'
Regular expression / :help /[
See |help-summary| for more contexts and an explanation.
Search for help: Type ":help word", then hit CTRL-D to see matching
help entries for "word".
Or use ":helpgrep word". |:helpgrep|
Getting started: Do the Vim tutor, a 30-minute interactive course for the
basic commands, see |vimtutor|.
Read the user manual from start to end: |usr_01.txt|
Vim stands for Vi IMproved. Most of Vim was made by Bram Moolenaar, but only
through the help of many others. See |credits|.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*bars* Bars example
Now that you've jumped here with CTRL-] or a double mouse click, you can use
CTRL-T, CTRL-O, g<RightMouse>, or <C-RightMouse> to go back to where you were.
Note that tags are within | characters, but when highlighting is enabled these
characters are hidden. That makes it easier to read a command.
Anyway, you can use CTRL-] on any word, also when it is not within |, and Vim
will try to find help for it. Especially for options in single quotes, e.g.
'compatible'.
