*index.txt* Nvim VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar *index* This file contains a list of all commands for each mode, with a tag and a short description. The lists are sorted on ASCII value. Tip: When looking for certain functionality, use a search command. E.g., to look for deleting something, use: "/delete". For an overview of options see |option-list|. For an overview of built-in functions see |functions|. For a list of Vim variables see |vim-variable|.
