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:

  1. go to the next tag with some
    keystroke
  2. press Ctrl-] to read corresponding
    topic
  3. press Ctrl-o to return
  4. 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.

    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.
