I'm aware of the '?' help and have found it lacking. I've still had to
guess at how they work (or don't work) in some cases. For example, where
are many of the vim movement commands documented (besides j/k which I knew
about by reading the help)? I missed the navigation to the next/previous
search result because it isn't documented with shift + n but is with n. I
missed it.

And it doesn't excuse the awful overloading of n and shift + n which breaks
navigation by chunks once you start using the search feature.

I really haven't been impressed by many of the new features because they
all seem to come with awkward baggage.
