mysterious help pages
The following produces the lowercase alphabet in neovim, but the string character |linewise|.
in V:
:h<_<CR>jjYZZp
I tested a different help page, which consistently produces *usr_01.txt* Nvim
in both "languages":
:help tutor<CR>ggYZZp
Are you sure about that? It seems to be working for me: Try it online!
On an unrelated note, you can also generate the alphabet with the range operator, i.e. <M-,>
or ¬
. Try it online!
As far as I can tell, that particular help page just doesn't exist on my particular install. :help v_b_<_example
returns an empty string rather than the whole page.
If it is to any help, I am on Python 3.6.1
and this program returns:
NVIM v0.2.0
