Tip: #992 - Very simple shortcut to the helpgrep command

Created: September 14, 2005 13:55 Complexity: basic Author: Anders Th�gersen Version: 5.7 Karma: 2/6 Imported from: Tip#992

The 'helpgrep' command is very useful for searching through all

the files located in the .vim/doc directory. This command is especially 
useful if your .vim/doc directory is littered with script documentation 
aswell as language specific documentation such as provided by [/scripts/script.php?script_id=614 vimscript #614], 
VimTip826 or [/scripts/script.php?script_id=1330 vimscript #1330]. 


The following abbreviation provides faster access to 'helpgrep' 


cnoabbrev H helpgrep 


This allows me to type :H<space>uganda to search for the word 
'uganda' in all of the help files.

That is:

cnoreabbrev H helpgrep
