How to Jump to Help Tags in Vim
When you’re in a help window in Vim (:h help
), you will observe the presence
of links that go to other parts of the document. These links are actually tags
that take you to a specific subject in Vim’s help manual.
To visit the tag under the cursor, you can use the Ctrl-] keybinding. After moving to the new location, press Ctrl-O or Ctrl-t to hop back to the previous position in the documentation.
You can also enter the following in the Vim command line below to jump to a
specific tag. This is useful when the tag you’re interested in jumping to is not
under the cursor. See :h Ctrl-]
and :h tag
for more details.
