Example function! Test(param) echo a:param endfunction When you see param and want to know where it is used, all you have to do is pressing * (using set hlsearch or a plugin such as mark.vim) When seeing the line a:param you know where to look as well. using [[ should take you to the place where param was defined. So I can't see why this should make it much easier to search ? (joke: If you see a:param and you do start grepping .vim you've missed a point :)
