# 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.
