  • I am not sure if there is a "Mastering Emacs" direct equivalent for vim/neovim but vim and neovim are, IMO, very well documented via the help pages. As others have mentioned, take a look at :h help. The thing that really opened up the power of help pages for me was installing telescope.nvim and using the :Telescope help_tags command, which allows you to fuzzy search all help tags and see a preview of the help page for each matching tag. Basically, it made it a lot easier for me to find/discover various help topics.
