| 13 1. Various commands *various-cmds* | |
| 14 | |
| 15 *CTRL-L* | |
| 348 | 16 CTRL-L Clear and redraw the screen. The redraw may happen |
| 17 later, after processing typeahead. | |
| 7 | 18 |
| 19 *:redr* *:redraw* | |
| 20 :redr[aw][!] Redraw the screen right now. When ! is included it is | |
| 21 cleared first. | |
| 22 Useful to update the screen halfway executing a script | |
| 23 or function. Also when halfway a mapping and | |
| 24 'lazyredraw' is set. | |
| 25 | |
| 26 *:redraws* *:redrawstatus* | |
| 27 :redraws[tatus][!] Redraw the status line of the current window. When ! | |
| 28 is included all status lines are redrawn. | |
| 29 Useful to update the status line(s) when 'statusline' | |
| 30 includes an item that doesn't cause automatic | |
| 31 updating. | |
| 32 | |
| 33 *N<Del>* | |
| 34 <Del> When entering a number: Remove the last digit. | |
| 35 Note: if you like to use <BS> for this, add this | |
| 36 mapping to your .vimrc: > | |
| 37 :map CTRL-V <BS> CTRL-V <Del> | |
| 38 < See |:fixdel| if your <Del> key does not do what you | |
| 39 want. | |
| 40 | |
| 41 :as[cii] or *ga* *:as* *:ascii* | |
| 42 ga Print the ascii value of the character under the | |
| 43 cursor in decimal, hexadecimal and octal. For | |
| 44 example, when the cursor is on a 'R': | |
| 45 <R> 82, Hex 52, Octal 122 ~ | |
| 46 When the character is a non-standard ASCII character, | |
| 47 but printable according to the 'isprint' option, the | |
| 48 non-printable version is also given. When the | |
| 49 character is larger than 127, the <M-x> form is also | |
| 50 printed. For example: | |
| 51 <~A> <M-^A> 129, Hex 81, Octal 201 ~ | |
| 52 <p> <|~> <M-~> 254, Hex fe, Octal 376 ~ | |
| 53 (where <p> is a special character) | |
| 54 The <Nul> character in a file is stored internally as | |
| 55 <NL>, but it will be shown as: | |
| 56 <^@> 0, Hex 00, Octal 000 ~ | |
| 714 | 57 If the character has composing characters these are |
| 58 also shown. The value of 'maxcombine' doesn't matter. | |
| 7 | 59 Mnemonic: Get Ascii value. {not in Vi} |
| 60 | |
| 61 *g8* | |
| 62 g8 Print the hex values of the bytes used in the | |
| 63 character under the cursor, assuming it is in |UTF-8| | |
| 714 | 64 encoding. This also shows composing characters. The |
| 65 value of 'maxcombine' doesn't matter. | |
| 66 Example of a character with two composing characters: | |
| 7 | 67 e0 b8 81 + e0 b8 b9 + e0 b9 89 ~ |
| 777 | 68 {not in Vi} {only when compiled with the |+multi_byte| |
| 69 feature} | |
| 70 | |
| 71 *8g8* | |
| 72 8g8 Find an illegal UTF-8 byte sequence at or after the | |
| 73 cursor. This works in two situations: | |
| 74 1. when 'encoding' is any 8-bit encoding | |
| 75 2. when 'encoding' is "utf-8" and 'fileencoding' is | |
| 76 any 8-bit encoding | |
| 77 Thus it can be used when editing a file that was | |
| 78 supposed to be UTF-8 but was read as if it is an 8-bit | |
| 79 encoding because it contains illegal bytes. | |
| 80 Does not wrap around the end of the file. | |
| 81 Note that when the cursor is on an illegal byte or the | |
| 82 cursor is halfway a multi-byte character the command | |
| 83 won't move the cursor. | |
| 84 {not in Vi} {only when compiled with the |+multi_byte| | |
| 85 feature} | |
| 7 | 86 |
| 843 | 87 *:p* *:pr* *:print* *E749* |
| 169 | 88 :[range]p[rint] [flags] |
| 89 Print [range] lines (default current line). | |
| 7 | 90 Note: If you are looking for a way to print your text |
| 169 | 91 on paper see |:hardcopy|. In the GUI you can use the |
| 92 File.Print menu entry. | |
| 93 See |ex-flags| for [flags]. | |
| 7 | 94 |
| 169 | 95 :[range]p[rint] {count} [flags] |
| 7 | 96 Print {count} lines, starting with [range] (default |
| 97 current line |cmdline-ranges|). | |
| 169 | 98 See |ex-flags| for [flags]. |
| 7 | 99 |
| 100 *:P* *:Print* | |
| 169 | 101 :[range]P[rint] [count] [flags] |
| 7 | 102 Just as ":print". Was apparently added to Vi for |
| 103 people that keep the shift key pressed too long... | |
| 2642 | 104 Note: A user command can overrule this command. |
| 169 | 105 See |ex-flags| for [flags]. |
| 7 | 106 |
| 107 *:l* *:list* | |
| 169 | 108 :[range]l[ist] [count] [flags] |
| 7 | 109 Same as :print, but display unprintable characters |
| 2458 | 110 with '^' and put $ after the line. This can be |

111 further changed with the 'listchars' option. |
| 169 | 112 See |ex-flags| for [flags]. |
| 7 | 113 |
| 114 *:nu* *:number* | |
| 169 | 115 :[range]nu[mber] [count] [flags] |
| 7 | 116 Same as :print, but precede each line with its line |
| 677 | 117 number. (See also 'highlight' and 'numberwidth' |
| 118 option). | |
| 169 | 119 See |ex-flags| for [flags]. |
| 7 | 120 |
| 121 *:#* | |
| 169 | 122 :[range]# [count] [flags] |
| 123 synonym for :number. | |
| 7 | 124 |
| 1125 | 125 *:#!* |
| 126 :#!{anything} Ignored, so that you can start a Vim script with: > | |
| 1624 | 127 #!vim -S |
| 1125 | 128 echo "this is a Vim script" |
| 129 quit | |
| 130 < | |
| 7 | 131 *:z* *E144* |
| 132 :{range}z[+-^.=]{count} Display several lines of text surrounding the line | |
| 133 specified with {range}, or around the current line | |
| 134 if there is no {range}. If there is a {count}, that's | |
| 164 | 135 how many lines you'll see; if there is only one window |
| 2725 | 136 then twice the value of the 'scroll' option is used, |
| 137 otherwise the current window height minus 3 is used. | |
| 7 | 138 |
| 3237 | 139 If there is a {count} the 'window' option is set to |
| 140 its value. | |
| 141 | |
| 7 | 142 :z can be used either alone or followed by any of |
| 143 several punctuation marks. These have the following | |
| 144 effect: | |
| 145 | |
| 2725 | 146 mark first line last line new cursor line ~ |
| 7 | 147 ---- ---------- --------- ------------ |
| 148 + current line 1 scr forward 1 scr forward | |
| 149 - 1 scr back current line current line | |
| 150 ^ 2 scr back 1 scr back 1 scr back | |
| 159 | 151 . 1/2 scr back 1/2 scr fwd 1/2 scr fwd |
| 152 = 1/2 scr back 1/2 scr fwd current line | |
| 7 | 153 |
| 154 Specifying no mark at all is the same as "+". | |
| 155 If the mark is "=", a line of dashes is printed | |
| 156 around the current line. | |
| 157 | |
| 158 :{range}z#[+-^.=]{count} *:z#* | |
| 159 Like ":z", but number the lines. | |
| 160 {not in all versions of Vi, not with these arguments} | |
| 161 | |
| 162 *:=* | |
| 169 | 163 := [flags] Print the last line number. |
| 164 See |ex-flags| for [flags]. | |
| 7 | 165 |
| 169 | 166 :{range}= [flags] Prints the last line number in {range}. For example, |
| 7 | 167 this prints the current line number: > |
| 168 :.= | |
| 169 | 169 < See |ex-flags| for [flags]. |
| 7 | 170 |
| 171 :norm[al][!] {commands} *:norm* *:normal* | |
| 172 Execute Normal mode commands {commands}. This makes | |
| 173 it possible to execute Normal mode commands typed on | |
| 2596 | 174 the command-line. {commands} are executed like they |
| 175 are typed. For undo all commands are undone together. | |
| 1125 | 176 Execution stops when an error is encountered. |
| 4073 | 177 |
| 7 | 178 If the [!] is given, mappings will not be used. |
| 4073 | 179 Without it, when this command is called from a |
| 180 non-remappable mapping (|:noremap|), the argument can | |
| 181 be mapped anyway. | |
| 182 | |
| 7 | 183 {commands} should be a complete command. If |
| 184 {commands} does not finish a command, the last one | |
| 185 will be aborted as if <Esc> or <C-C> was typed. | |
| 186 This implies that an insert command must be completed | |
| 187 (to start Insert mode, see |:startinsert|). A ":" | |
| 161 | 188 command must be completed as well. And you can't use |
| 189 "Q" or "gQ" to start Ex mode. | |
| 4073 | 190 |
| 191 The display is not updated while ":normal" is busy. | |

194 1 (one) before it, "1 " is one space. |
| 4073 | 195 |
| 7 | 196 The 'insertmode' option is ignored for {commands}. |
| 4073 | 197 |
| 7 | 198 This command cannot be followed by another command, |
| 199 since any '|' is considered part of the command. | |
| 4073 | 200 |
| 7 | 201 This command can be used recursively, but the depth is |
| 202 limited by 'maxmapdepth'. | |
| 4073 | 203 |
| 7 | 204 An alternative is to use |:execute|, which uses an |
| 205 expression as argument. This allows the use of | |
| 2264 | 206 printable characters to represent special characters. |
| 4073 | 207 |
| 2264 | 208 Example: > |
| 7 | 209 :exe "normal \<c-w>\<c-w>" |
| 210 < {not in Vi, of course} | |
| 211 {not available when the |+ex_extra| feature was | |
| 212 disabled at compile time} | |
| 213 | |
| 214 :{range}norm[al][!] {commands} *:normal-range* | |
| 215 Execute Normal mode commands {commands} for each line | |
| 216 in the {range}. Before executing the {commands}, the | |
| 217 cursor is positioned in the first column of the range, | |
| 218 for each line. Otherwise it's the same as the | |
| 219 ":normal" command without a range. | |

| 7 | 223 |
| 224 *:sh* *:shell* *E371* | |
| 225 :sh[ell] This command starts a shell. When the shell exits | |
| 226 (after the "exit" command) you return to Vim. The | |
| 227 name for the shell command comes from 'shell' option. | |
| 228 *E360* | |
| 229 Note: This doesn't work when Vim on the Amiga was | |
| 230 started in QuickFix mode from a compiler, because the | |
| 231 compiler will have set stdin to a non-interactive | |
| 232 mode. | |
| 233 | |
| 234 *:!cmd* *:!* *E34* | |
| 235 :!{cmd} Execute {cmd} with the shell. See also the 'shell' | |
| 236 and 'shelltype' option. | |
| 5814 | 237 |
| 7 | 238 Any '!' in {cmd} is replaced with the previous |
| 239 external command (see also 'cpoptions'). But not when | |
| 240 there is a backslash before the '!', then that | |
| 241 backslash is removed. Example: ":!ls" followed by | |
| 242 ":!echo ! \! \\!" executes "echo ls ! \!". | |
| 5814 | 243 |
| 1624 | 244 A '|' in {cmd} is passed to the shell, you cannot use |
| 245 it to append a Vim command. See |:bar|. | |
| 5814 | 246 |
| 247 If {cmd} contains "%" it is expanded to the current | |
| 248 file name. Special characters are not escaped, use | |
| 249 quotes to avoid their special meaning: > | |
| 250 :!ls "%" | |
| 251 < If the file name contains a "$" single quotes might | |
| 252 work better (but a single quote causes trouble): > | |
| 253 :!ls '%' | |
| 254 < This should always work, but it's more typing: > | |
| 255 :exe "!ls " . shellescape(expand("%")) | |
| 256 < | |
| 7 | 257 A newline character ends {cmd}, what follows is |
| 258 interpreted as a following ":" command. However, if | |
| 259 there is a backslash before the newline it is removed | |
| 260 and {cmd} continues. It doesn't matter how many | |
| 261 backslashes are before the newline, only one is | |
| 262 removed. | |
| 5814 | 263 |
| 7 | 264 On Unix the command normally runs in a non-interactive |
| 265 shell. If you want an interactive shell to be used | |
| 266 (to use aliases) set 'shellcmdflag' to "-ic". | |
| 267 For Win32 also see |:!start|. | |
| 5814 | 268 |
| 5908 | 269 After the command has been executed, the timestamp and |
| 270 size of the current file is checked |timestamp|. | |
| 5814 | 271 |
| 7 | 272 Vim redraws the screen after the command is finished, |
| 273 because it may have printed any text. This requires a | |
| 274 hit-enter prompt, so that you can read any messages. | |
| 275 To avoid this use: > | |
| 276 :silent !{cmd} | |
| 277 < The screen is not redrawn then, thus you have to use | |
| 278 CTRL-L or ":redraw!" if the command did display | |
| 279 something. | |
| 280 Also see |shell-window|. | |
| 281 | |
| 282 *:!!* | |
| 283 :!! Repeat last ":!{cmd}". | |
| 284 | |
| 285 *:ve* *:version* | |
| 286 :ve[rsion] Print the version number of the editor. If the | |
| 287 compiler used understands "__DATE__" the compilation | |
| 288 date is mentioned. Otherwise a fixed release-date is | |
| 289 shown. | |
| 290 The following lines contain information about which | |
| 291 features were enabled when Vim was compiled. When | |
| 292 there is a preceding '+', the feature is included, | |
| 293 when there is a '-' it is excluded. To change this, | |
| 294 you have to edit feature.h and recompile Vim. | |
| 295 To check for this in an expression, see |has()|. | |
| 296 Here is an overview of the features. | |
| 297 The first column shows the smallest version in which | |
| 298 they are included: | |
| 299 T tiny | |
| 300 S small | |
| 301 N normal | |
| 302 B big | |
| 303 H huge | |
| 304 m manually enabled or depends on other features | |
| 305 (none) system dependent | |
| 306 Thus if a feature is marked with "N", it is included | |
| 307 in the normal, big and huge versions of Vim. | |

| 456 */dyn* *E370* *E448* | |
| 457 To some of the features "/dyn" is added when the | |
| 458 feature is only available when the related library can | |
| 459 be dynamically loaded. | |
| 460 | |
| 461 :ve[rsion] {nr} Is now ignored. This was previously used to check the | |
| 462 version number of a .vimrc file. It was removed, | |
| 463 because you can now use the ":if" command for | |
| 464 version-dependent behavior. {not in Vi} | |
| 465 | |
| 466 *:redi* *:redir* | |
| 467 :redi[r][!] > {file} Redirect messages to file {file}. The messages which | |
| 468 are the output of commands are written to that file, | |
| 469 until redirection ends. The messages are also still | |
| 470 shown on the screen. When [!] is included, an | |
| 471 existing file is overwritten. When [!] is omitted, | |
| 472 and {file} exists, this command fails. | |
| 473 Only one ":redir" can be active at a time. Calls to | |
| 474 ":redir" will close any active redirection before | |
| 475 starting redirection to the new target. | |
| 476 To stop the messages and commands from being echoed to | |
| 477 the screen, put the commands in a function and call it | |
| 478 with ":silent call Function()". | |
| 294 | 479 An alternative is to use the 'verbosefile' option, |
| 480 this can be used in combination with ":redir". | |
| 7 | 481 {not in Vi} |
| 482 | |
| 483 :redi[r] >> {file} Redirect messages to file {file}. Append if {file} | |
| 484 already exists. {not in Vi} | |
| 485 | |
| 1624 | 486 :redi[r] @{a-zA-Z} |
| 298 | 487 :redi[r] @{a-zA-Z}> Redirect messages to register {a-z}. Append to the |
| 7 | 488 contents of the register if its name is given |
| 1624 | 489 uppercase {A-Z}. The ">" after the register name is |
| 490 optional. {not in Vi} | |
| 271 | 491 :redi[r] @{a-z}>> Append messages to register {a-z}. {not in Vi} |
| 7 | 492 |
| 1125 | 493 :redi[r] @*> |
| 494 :redi[r] @+> Redirect messages to the selection or clipboard. For | |
| 495 backward compatibility, the ">" after the register | |
| 496 name can be omitted. See |quotestar| and |quoteplus|. | |
| 497 {not in Vi} | |
| 498 :redi[r] @*>> | |
| 499 :redi[r] @+>> Append messages to the selection or clipboard. | |
| 500 {not in Vi} | |
| 7 | 501 |
| 298 | 502 :redi[r] @"> Redirect messages to the unnamed register. For |
| 503 backward compatibility, the ">" after the register | |
| 504 name can be omitted. {not in Vi} | |
| 271 | 505 :redi[r] @">> Append messages to the unnamed register. {not in Vi} |
| 7 | 506 |
| 169 | 507 :redi[r] => {var} Redirect messages to a variable. If the variable |
| 508 doesn't exist, then it is created. If the variable | |
| 509 exists, then it is initialized to an empty string. | |
| 1125 | 510 The variable will remain empty until redirection ends. |
| 169 | 511 Only string variables can be used. After the |
| 512 redirection starts, if the variable is removed or | |
| 513 locked or the variable type is changed, then further | |
| 514 command output messages will cause errors. {not in Vi} | |
| 515 | |
| 516 :redi[r] =>> {var} Append messages to an existing variable. Only string | |
| 517 variables can be used. {not in Vi} | |
| 518 | |
| 7 | 519 :redi[r] END End redirecting messages. {not in Vi} |
| 520 | |
| 521 *:sil* *:silent* | |
| 522 :sil[ent][!] {command} Execute {command} silently. Normal messages will not | |
| 523 be given or added to the message history. | |
| 524 When [!] is added, error messages will also be | |
| 525 skipped, and commands and mappings will not be aborted | |
| 526 when an error is detected. |v:errmsg| is still set. | |
| 527 When [!] is not used, an error message will cause | |
| 528 further messages to be displayed normally. | |
| 529 Redirection, started with |:redir|, will continue as | |
| 530 usual, although there might be small differences. | |
| 531 This will allow redirecting the output of a command | |
| 532 without seeing it on the screen. Example: > | |
| 533 :redir >/tmp/foobar | |
| 534 :silent g/Aap/p | |
| 535 :redir END | |
| 536 < To execute a Normal mode command silently, use the | |
| 537 |:normal| command. For example, to search for a | |
| 538 string without messages: > | |
| 539 :silent exe "normal /path\<CR>" | |
| 540 < ":silent!" is useful to execute a command that may | |
| 541 fail, but the failure is to be ignored. Example: > | |
| 542 :let v:errmsg = "" | |
| 543 :silent! /^begin | |
| 544 :if v:errmsg != "" | |
| 545 : ... pattern was not found | |
| 546 < ":silent" will also avoid the hit-enter prompt. When | |
| 547 using this for an external command, this may cause the | |
| 548 screen to be messed up. Use |CTRL-L| to clean it up | |
| 549 then. | |
| 550 ":silent menu ..." defines a menu that will not echo a | |
| 551 Command-line command. The command will still produce | |
| 552 messages though. Use ":silent" in the command itself | |
| 553 to avoid that: ":silent menu .... :silent command". | |
| 554 | |
| 1926 | 555 *:uns* *:unsilent* |
| 556 :uns[ilent] {command} Execute {command} not silently. Only makes a | |
| 557 difference when |:silent| was used to get to this | |
| 558 command. | |
| 559 Use this for giving a message even when |:silent| was | |
| 560 used. In this example |:silent| is used to avoid the | |
| 561 message about reading the file and |:unsilent| to be | |
| 562 able to list the first line of each file. > | |
| 563 :silent argdo unsilent echo expand('%') . ": " . getline(1) | |
| 564 < | |
| 565 | |
| 7 | 566 *:verb* *:verbose* |
| 567 :[count]verb[ose] {command} | |
| 568 Execute {command} with 'verbose' set to [count]. If | |
| 8 | 569 [count] is omitted one is used. ":0verbose" can be |
| 570 used to set 'verbose' to zero. | |
| 7 | 571 The additional use of ":silent" makes messages |
| 572 generated but not displayed. | |
| 573 The combination of ":silent" and ":verbose" can be | |
| 574 used to generate messages and check them with | |
| 575 |v:statusmsg| and friends. For example: > | |
| 576 :let v:statusmsg = "" | |
| 577 :silent verbose runtime foobar.vim | |
| 578 :if v:statusmsg != "" | |
| 579 : " foobar.vim could not be found | |
| 580 :endif | |
| 581 < When concatenating another command, the ":verbose" | |
| 582 only applies to the first one: > | |
| 583 :4verbose set verbose | set verbose | |
| 584 < verbose=4 ~ | |
| 585 verbose=0 ~ | |
| 294 | 586 For logging verbose messages in a file use the |
| 587 'verbosefile' option. | |
| 7 | 588 |
| 484 | 589 *:verbose-cmd* |
| 590 When 'verbose' is non-zero, listing the value of a Vim option or a key map or | |
| 502 | 591 an abbreviation or a user-defined function or a command or a highlight group |
| 592 or an autocommand will also display where it was last defined. If it was | |
| 593 defined manually then there will be no "Last set" message. When it was | |
| 594 defined while executing a function, user command or autocommand, the script in | |
| 595 which it was defined is reported. | |

596 {not available when compiled without the |+eval| feature} |
| 484 | 597 |
| 7 | 598 *K* |
| 599 K Run a program to lookup the keyword under the | |
| 600 cursor. The name of the program is given with the | |
| 601 'keywordprg' (kp) option (default is "man"). The | |
| 602 keyword is formed of letters, numbers and the | |
| 603 characters in 'iskeyword'. The keyword under or | |
| 604 right of the cursor is used. The same can be done | |
| 605 with the command > | |
| 606 :!{program} {keyword} | |
| 607 < There is an example of a program to use in the tools | |
| 608 directory of Vim. It is called 'ref' and does a | |
| 609 simple spelling check. | |
| 610 Special cases: | |
| 611 - If 'keywordprg' is empty, the ":help" command is | |
| 612 used. It's a good idea to include more characters | |
| 613 in 'iskeyword' then, to be able to find more help. | |
| 614 - When 'keywordprg' is equal to "man", a count before | |
| 615 "K" is inserted after the "man" command and before | |
| 616 the keyword. For example, using "2K" while the | |
| 617 cursor is on "mkdir", results in: > | |
| 618 !man 2 mkdir | |
| 619 < - When 'keywordprg' is equal to "man -s", a count | |
| 620 before "K" is inserted after the "-s". If there is | |
| 621 no count, the "-s" is removed. | |
| 622 {not in Vi} | |
| 623 | |
| 624 *v_K* | |
| 625 {Visual}K Like "K", but use the visually highlighted text for | |
| 626 the keyword. Only works when the highlighted text is | |
| 627 not more than one line. {not in Vi} | |
| 628 | |
| 629 [N]gs *gs* *:sl* *:sleep* | |
| 630 :[N]sl[eep] [N] [m] Do nothing for [N] seconds. When [m] is included, | |
| 237 | 631 sleep for [N] milliseconds. The count for "gs" always |
| 7 | 632 uses seconds. The default is one second. > |
| 633 :sleep "sleep for one second | |
| 634 :5sleep "sleep for five seconds | |
| 635 :sleep 100m "sleep for a hundred milliseconds | |
| 636 10gs "sleep for ten seconds | |
| 637 < Can be interrupted with CTRL-C (CTRL-Break on MS-DOS). | |
| 140 | 638 "gs" stands for "goto sleep". |
| 639 While sleeping the cursor is positioned in the text, | |
| 640 if at a visible position. {not in Vi} | |
| 3153 | 641 Also process the received netbeans messages. {only |
| 642 available when compiled with the |+netbeans_intg| | |
| 643 feature} | |
| 644 | |
| 7 | 645 |
| 646 *g_CTRL-A* | |
| 647 g CTRL-A Only when Vim was compiled with MEM_PROFILING defined | |
| 648 (which is very rare): print memory usage statistics. | |
| 649 Only useful for debugging Vim. | |

| 652 ============================================================================== | |
| 2581 | 653 2. Using Vim like less or more *less* |
| 7 | 654 |
| 655 If you use the less or more program to view a file, you don't get syntax | |
| 656 highlighting. Thus you would like to use Vim instead. You can do this by | |
| 657 using the shell script "$VIMRUNTIME/macros/less.sh". | |
| 658 | |
| 659 This shell script uses the Vim script "$VIMRUNTIME/macros/less.vim". It sets | |
| 660 up mappings to simulate the commands that less supports. Otherwise, you can | |
| 661 still use the Vim commands. | |
| 662 | |
| 663 This isn't perfect. For example, when viewing a short file Vim will still use | |
| 664 the whole screen. But it works good enough for most uses, and you get syntax | |
| 665 highlighting. | |
| 666 | |
| 667 The "h" key will give you a short overview of the available commands. | |
