How to jump to the next tag in vim help file
vim
Solution
Use the `:tn` and `:tp` sequences to navigate between tags.
If you want to look for the next tag on the same help page, try this search:
/|.\{-}|
This means to search for:
- The character `|`
- Any characters up to the next `|`, matching as few as possible (that's what `\{-}` does).
- Another character `|`
This identifies the tags in the VIM help file.
Problem
I want to learn the vim documentation given in the standard help file. But I am stuck on a navigating issue - I just cannot go to the next tag without having to position the cursor manually. I think you would agree that it is more productive to: - go to the next tag with some keystroke - press Ctrl-] to read corresponding topic - press Ctrl-o to return - continue reading initial text PS. while I was writing this question, I tried some ideas on how to resolve this. I found that searching pipe character with `/|` is pretty close to what I want. But the tag is surrounded with two pipe '|' characters, so it's still not really optimized to use.
