+ Or press Tab to complete: >
+ :help some<Tab>
+< More information on how to use the help: >
+ :help helphelp
+
+2) Follow the links in bars to related help. You can go from the detailed
+ help to the user documentation, which describes certain commands more from
+ a user perspective and less detailed. E.g. after: >
+ :help pattern.txt
+< You can see the user guide topics |03.9| and |usr_27.txt| in the
+ introduction.

+ :help append()
+< talks about the append VimL function rather than how to append text in the
+ current buffer.
+
+13) Mappings are talked about in the help page :h |map.txt|. Use >
+ :help mapmode-i
+< to find out about the |:imap| command. Also use :map-topic
+ to find out about certain subtopics particular for mappings. e.g: >
+ :help :map-local
+< for buffer-local mappings or >
+ :help map-bar
+< for how the '|' is handled in mappings.
+
+14) Command definitions are talked about :h command-topic, so use >
+ :help command-bar
+< to find out about the '!' argument for custom commands.
+
+15) Window management commands always start with CTRL-W, so you find the
+ corresponding help at :h CTRL-W_letter. E.g. >
+ :help CTRL-W_p
+< for moving the previous accessed window). You can also access >
+ :help windows.txt
+< and read your way through if you are looking for window handling

+ To search for a topic: >
+ :helpgrep topic
+< This takes you to the first match. To go to the next one: >
+ :cnext
+< All matches are available in the quickfix window which can be opened
+ with: >
+ :copen
+< Move around to the match you like and press Enter to jump to that help.
+
+17) The user manual. This describes help topics for beginners in a rather
+ friendly way. Start at |usr_toc.txt| to find the table of content (as you
+ might have guessed): >
+ :help usr_toc.txt
+< Skim over the contents to find interesting topics. The "Digraphs" and
+ "Entering special characters" items are in chapter 24, so to go to that

+ :help usr_24.txt
+< Also if you want to access a certain chapter in the help, the chapter
+ number can be accessed directly like this: >
+ :help 10.1
+< goes to chapter 10.1 in |usr_10.txt| and talks about recording macros.
+
+18) Highlighting groups. Always start with hl-groupname. E.g. >
+ :help hl-WarningMsg
+< talks about the WarningMsg highlighting group.
+
+19) Syntax highlighting is namespaced to :syn-topic e.g. >
+ :help :syn-conceal
+< talks about the conceal argument for the :syn command.
+
+20) Quickfix commands usually start with :c while location list commands
+ usually start with :l
+
+21) Autocommand events can be found by their name: >
+ :help BufWinLeave
+< To see all possible events: >
+ :help autocommands-events
+
+22) Command-line switches always start with "-". So for the help of the -f
+ command switch of Vim use: >
+ :help -f
+
+23) Optional features always start with "+". To find out about the
+ conceal feature use: >
+ :help +conceal
+
+24) Documentation for included filetype specific functionality is usually
+ available in the form ft-<filetype>-<functionality>. So >
+ :help ft-c-syntax
+< talks about the C syntax file and the option it provides. Sometimes,
+ additional sections for omni completion >
+ :help ft-php-omni
+< or filetype plugins >
+ :help ft-tex-plugin
+< are available.
+
+25) Error and Warning codes can be looked up directly in the help. So >
+ :help E297
+< takes you exactly to the description of the swap error message and >
+ :help W10
+< talks about the warning "Changing a readonly file".
+ Sometimes however, those error codes are not described, but rather are
+ listed at the Vim command that usually causes this. So: >
+ :help E128
+< takes you to the |:function| command
