Taking notes inside vim for vim to remember mappings
Fixed title: Taking notes inside vim for vim-specific stuff so I can remember how to do stuff
I'd like to take notes inside of vim to remember commands and keymappings. I currently use help and a file in my .vim, but it's somewhat burdensome. For example, I only use a couple of fold methods. I don't want to search the help file for it when I can just write a quick note. The note should be callable in vim, so I could do something like :Notes or :Notes fold-all.
Does this exist? I'm not sure what to search. I suppose I could grep the notes file.

You can write your own native vim help files then access via :help myhelp. Also there is the very useful :help quickref.
See :he write-local-help
Oh cool, I didnt realize that was possible. Thanks for the tip.
