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?

    Depends. In the case of Angular the docs are very good so I read large sections of it. Doing the hero intro was really good at getting me up to speed.

    For dotnet I don’t like them. It’s 50% reference manual and has few examples for the more niche things.
