Normal mode command :help x
Visual mode command v_ :help v_u

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 example *bars*
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.
You can use CTRL-] on any word (even if it is not within "|") and Nvim will
try to find help for it. Especially for options in single quotes, e.g.
'hlsearch'.
