When you're groping in the dark, and ":help {subject}" doesn't bring up
anything relevant, the :helpgrep command is a great thing to have — it
will search the whole text of the help files for any search pattern you
can think up (and IIRC, historically Vim got it in one version, and
:vimgrep only in the next one: that shows how much it was needed).

BTW, if you can afford to reserve three F keys, here are some mappings
which can help for the whole family of quickfix commands (including
:helpgrep, :vimgrep, :grep, :make, the :cscope searches for which
'cscopequickfix' is set…):

:map <F2> :cnext<CR>
:map <S-F2> :cprev<CR>
:map <F3> :cnfile<CR>
:map <S-F3> :cpfile<CR>
:map <F4> :cfirst<CR>
:map <S-F4> :clast<CR>

For :make you may want to set 'autowrite' or 'autowriteall' to get
auto-save of any corrections you make in the source.

Best regards,
Tony.
