:view should not be compared to :edit, it should be compared to :visual (which I just learned also takes a file argument) Additionally, |Ex mode| should be |Ex-mode| to make it a valid link in :help :view > - Ex commands do not indicate arguments > - It would be nice to know which commands expect arguments > (e.g. :s, :edit) and which don't (e.g. :quit) > - Ex commands do not indicate if they support ranges > - It would be nice to know which commands can take ranges (e.g. :s) > and which don't (e.g. :edit) > This is true in index.txt however the command name is a link to the main help topic for each command, which DOES indicate arguments, etc. I would rather have index.txt stay really short and simple, for use as an index, not as a command reference. -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
