Has this ever happened to you? You are typing a command and cannot remember whether that particular option is an "u" or an "o". cmdlinehelp to the rescue! When editing a command line, press <c-o> (see also |g:cmdlinehelpMapView|) to display help on the command currently being edited. Use <c-pageup>/<c-pagedown> to scroll the help window. This plugin was inspired by a post by Marcel Boon to vim_use: http://groups.google.com/group/vim_use/browse_frm/thread/aaa3d652d7b76d02
