I’ve been switching from Vim to Helix recently. I did the built-in tutor, and whenever I need to configure something, I look it up in the docs. The problem is, I only find what I already know to look for. Without reading the documentation more broadly, I don’t really know what I can configure in the first place.
So I’m curious, do you sit down and read documentation to understand a tool, or do you just search it when you hit a specific problem?


If it’s readable and well organized, I read it. I did the vim tutorial because it was very easy to run through. Ditto for some of the Android lifecycle docs.
But there are a lot of bad docs out there.
