VIM :: man pages invokation shortcut
I have finally found it. The very important shortcut I was missing long time. I knew it was there - but never actually managed to dig it up.
K
That's simple. It replaces my now archaic ":!man ".expand("<cword>") - use word under cursor and invoke 'K'eyword program on it. Keyword program is normally man. Can be configured with option 'keywordprg' (:help 'keywordprg'
for more info).
If keywordprg is man, then VIM provides another cool feature: repeat count when used with K now tells to go to particular man section. e.g. 3K would invoke "man 3" on current word. What is very very cool.
