Q1: How can I list all vim help subjects (topics)?
i.e., the {subject}
argument for :h[elp] {subject}
Q2: How can I list all vim help files?
My particular use case is that I want to see help for my various vim plugins, and I don't know what the subject is for a given plugin.
I tried :help
followed by CTRL-D for commandline completion, but it doesn't show me all the subjects
(e.g., it's not showing me table-mode
which is present when I do :help table-mode
):
:help
help :helptags gzip-helpfile
:help 'helpfile' online-help
--help 'helplang' add-local-help
:helpc :helpclose ale-vim-help-options
:helpf 'helpheight' ale-vim-help-write-good
:helpg help-context write-local-help
:helpt help-summary <Help>
t_help help-writing youcompleteme-help-advice-support
help.txt helphelp.txt i_<Help>
helphelp help-translated g:ycm_disable_signature_help
help-tags help-xterm-window youcompleteme-signature-help
:helpfind helpfile_name.txt :lhelpgrep
:helpgrep netrw-help netrw-quickhelp
:vimgrep "\*.\+\*" $VIMRUNTIME/docs/*.txt
to search for tags in the help files returned 7191 results. You might be better off using:h :helpgrep
for whatever plugin you're trying to search for.:helptags ALL
and then:help
; local plugins help should be displayed somewhere on that page under the heading « local additions » or similar:h pluginname
and then search in there. I do that with all my plugins and I think most other plugins I use also do that.
