Start Vim, then type
:help index.txt
When you hit Enter, you'll see a help file, listing all key bindings
alphabetically for each mode. Anything that appears (in the default Vim
colors) in green, such as the key bindings themselves, is a link to
further help, obtained by double-clicking with the mouse or by hitting
Ctrl-] after placing the text cursor on it.
This is an example of a basic concept about Vim: _everything_ is in the
built-in help. In fact, I know of no program anywhere in cyberspace
which has a help of a quality even remotely approaching that of Vim. The
flip side of that coin is that sometimes finding "the right help page"
is a needle-in-a-haystack problem; but even for that there are built-in
tools; see
:help
:help :help
:help {subject}
:help 'wildmenu'
:help :helpgrep
:help :cnext
:help quickfix.txt
Best regards,
Tony.
