I never noticed the line Type gO to see the table of contents in every help page. I was in need of this command when doing homeworks in LaTeX for a class and luckily the Vimtex plugin has a table-of-contents command. But the gO works in every buffer! Which is so good. I only stumbled upon it by reading windows.txt from the beggining.

Another command I stumbled upon was find which mister Sylvan (great content) mentioned in some video. Now I can literally jump to any file on my system (if I know its path), which is sometimes better than fuzzy finding with Telescope.

Another one is the gf command which will edit the file whose name is under the cursor, which I use a lot to manage my todo files. It's kinda like following obsidian links to a note, but it fails if the file does not exist! And then if you read the help page of gf, it gives you a tip to remap it to execute the edit command which will create the file if it doesn't exist!

The commands you just stubmle upon are like some cool bugs you spot in the grass. It's truly one of the most sophisticated software made with the best manual.
