The notes are mainly extracted from the daily fleeting notes which clutter some of the more important thoughts. I figured it would be better to create Dendron-inspired hierarchical notes. Also, some of the notes are updated. I also started to create my visual aids for whatever reason. ;p

Jump to previous jump point
Front
How to get back in previous jump point?
Back
Ctrl + O
Remember it as getting out of the current jump point and back to the previous one.
Enter jump point
Front
How to jump into a keyword?
Back
Ctrl + ]will enter into the definition block of a keyword.Kalso has the same effect.
Go to file path
Front
How to go to the file path at point?
Back
gf (in normal mode) as in goto file.
Set as a pager
Front
How to set Vim as a manpager?
Back
MANPAGER="nvim +Man!"
+Man! is a command invocation (as if entering :Man inside Vim).
It can also be written as -c Man!.
The :Man! command displays the current buffer as a manual page.
Show outline/table of content
Front
How to show the table of contents of a document?
Back
gO, although the results are filetype-specific (and some don't have any).
Helpful examples include for manual pages and help pages (from :help).
Detect files through filetypes
Front
How does Vim detect the files?
Back
Vim guesses the file by assigning filetypes, mainly through the file name and reading the file content. A filetype is how Vim knows what plugins to apply to the current buffer.
Vim has a few built-in filetypes such as shell, manual pages, Markdown, Asciidoc, xmodmap, patch files, and JSON among others (that are in $VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim).
For more information, run :help filetype inside Vim.
Going to keyword definitions
Front
How to go to the keyword definition?
Back
gd as in go to definition.
Though, not all the time it will do what its supposed to do.
For better effect, you can generate a Ctags file which Vim has a built-in integration (see :h ctags).
Vim modes
Front
What is a mode (in Vim)?
Back
A Vim mode is a set of behavior and actions. In this case, it considers editing and navigation (among other modes) to be separate. Thus, you need to switch between them to do those things.
Vim has built-in modes which you can see with :h vim-modes.
Word wrapping
Front
How to do word wrapping?
Back
gw as in go format the words.
By default, it simply line wraps the lines with the 80-character limitation.
Using the help system
Front
How to effectively make use of the help system?
Back
The usual way is to execute :h or :help.
You can view what does a keybinding do with :h ${KEYBINDING} — e.g., :h gw to know what gw does, :h V for viewing visual line mode.
For keybindings in visual and command line mode, prepend them with v_ and c_, respectively.
