Hey Meino,

One last tip I didn't think of earlier provides rapid access to the help system while editing Vimscript. Use this autocommand in your vimrc:

augroup QuickHelp
autocmd!
autocmd FileType vim setlocal keywordprg=:help
augroup END

Putting this in your vimrc has an useful effect. Placing your cursor on a Vimscript keyword (e.g. "autocmd") and pressing "K" in normal mode will open a help window for that keyword. Try it out and see if it's useful.

Of course, you'll have to read the documentation to find out WHY this works!

Best wishes,
Jason
