This is an HTML version of the jVi help pages. They are almost entirely copied from the Vim help pages. Those familiar with the vim help pages will notice that there is much less information here; that is because jVi has fewer features and is not as fully documented.

help.txt For jVi version 1.3.1. Last change: 2010 Dec 27 JVI REFERENCE - main help file k Move around: Use the cursor keys, or "h" to go left, h l "j" to go down, "k" to go up, "l" to go right. j Close this window: Use ":q<Enter>". Get out of Vim: Use ":qa!<Enter>" (careful, all changes are lost!). Jump to a subject: Position the cursor on a tag (e.g. bars) and hit CTRL-]. With the mouse: ":set mouse=a" to enable the mouse (in xterm or GUI). Double-click the left mouse button on a tag, e.g. bars. Jump back: Type CTRL-T or CTRL-O (repeat to go further back). Get specific help: It is possible to go directly to whatever you want help on, by giving an argument to the :help command. It is possible to further specify the context: help-context WHAT PREPEND EXAMPLE Normal mode command (nothing) :help x Visual mode command v_ :help v_u Insert mode command i_ :help i_<Esc> Command-line command : :help :quit Command-line editing c_ :help c_<Del> Vim command argument - :help -r Option ' :help 'textwidth' Search for help: Type ":help word", then hit CTRL-D to see matching help entries for "word". VIM stands for Vi IMproved. Most of VIM was made by Bram Moolenaar, but only through the help of many others.

Note that tags are within | characters, but when highlighting is enabled these are hidden. That makes it easier to read a command. Anyway, you can use CTRL-] on any word, also when it is not within |, and Vim will try to find help for it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ vim:tw=78:ts=8:sw=8:noet:
