Tip #486: Search for word under cursor, but don't move.

This is very, very simple:

:noremap <F1> #*

I find this helpful when editing multiple files and I want to search for the word under the cursor in *another* file.
I then type F1, C-^, n.



<<Open a new window and read in the man page for the word under the cursor | jump to a file to a certain line number >>
