# Show Matching Entries For Help
|
||||
|
||||
Looking up things with Vim's `:help` command can be error prone if you don't
|
||||
know exactly how to format what you are looking up. Bypass some of the
|
||||
guesswork by hitting `Ctrl-d` after writing part of the `:help` command.
|
||||
This will populate a wildmenu of possible matches.
|
||||
|
||||
For instance, if you know there is a command containing `?`, but you aren't
|
||||
sure how to look it up, try the following:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
:help ?<Ctrl-d>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can tab through to the one you want and hit enter to read up on it. Who
|
||||
knew there were so many Vim bindings involving a `?`.
|
||||
|
||||
See `:h help-context` for more details.
