Extra tags would only be needed where there's ambiguity. I compiled a list; the middle column is what you get if you type the given at the : command prompt, and the third column is the topic you get if you ask for help for the given: given | : | :help : --------+--------------+------------- arg | args | arga bre | brewind | break cab | cabbrev | cabclear cadd | caddbuffer | caddexpr chec | checkpath | checktime cne | cnext | cnewer cnor | cnoremap | cnoreabbrev cun | cunmap | cunabbrev diff | diffupdate | diffget doaut | doautocmd | doautoall end | endif | endfunction folddo | folddopen | folddoc inor | inoremap | inoreabbrev keep | keepmarks | keepalt ladd | laddbuffer | laddexpr lfi | lfile | lfirst lge | lgetfile | lgetbuffer lma | lmap | lmake lock | lockmarks | lockvar mkvi | mkvimrc | mkview sfi | sfind | sfirst snore | snoremap | snoremenu ver | version | verbose One or two extra tags for each of these is not going to significantly add to vim's 10,000 or so. > :help :check<Tab> (with 'wildmenu' on) or :help :check<Ctrl-D> would > have shown you all helptags beginning with :check How would I have known to do that, when I did not know that there might be another command starting with "check"? I use the help when I don't know stuff, that's the point of it. Regards, John Little -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
