Yeah, there's that "needle-in-a-haystack" feeling. Happily, even for
that, there is help. Read it when you have the time to concentrate on
I've started to read it, but sometimes the problem is not searching, but
knowing what you are looking for. I would have probably read everything about
key maps, but an option to control fold opening... I think I could have never
thought of that :)
When you're groping in the dark, and ":help {subject}" doesn't bring up
anything relevant, the :helpgrep command is a great thing to have — it
will search the whole text of the help files for any search pattern you
can think up (and IIRC, historically Vim got it in one version, and
:vimgrep only in the next one: that shows how much it was needed).
BTW, if you can afford to reserve three F keys, here are some mappings
which can help for the whole family of quickfix commands (including
:helpgrep, :vimgrep, :grep, :make, the :cscope searches for which
'cscopequickfix' is set…):
:map <F2> :cnext<CR>
:map <S-F2> :cprev<CR>
:map <F3> :cnfile<CR>
:map <S-F3> :cpfile<CR>
:map <F4> :cfirst<CR>
:map <S-F4> :clast<CR>
For :make you may want to set 'autowrite' or 'autowriteall' to get
auto-save of any corrections you make in the source.
Best regards,
Tony.
