# Opening Man Pages In Vim
In [Quick Man Pages](vim/quick-man-pages.md), I explained how the
`ft-man-plugin` allows you to quickly open man pages with `K`. For times
when the particular command isn't in the buffer or the command contains a
hyphen, you can instead use `:Man`. With the `ft-man-plugin` enabled, you
can use `:Man` with the name of any command that has a manual page and the
respective man page will be opened in a split buffer. For example, check out
`git log` with:
```
:Man git-log
```
If you don't want the first manual entry, provide a specific number. For
instance, you can open the `echo(3)` man page with:
```
:Man 3 echo
```
See `:h :Man` for more details.
