What are the vim commands that start with g? - vim

Question

g is a prefix to several commands. e.g. goto to move the cursor, but also gqip to format a paragraph. Where is the reference for all commands that are prefixed with g?

Answer 1

Vim's documentation is http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/. If you go for the HTML docs, you will find |reference_toc| More detailed information for all commands, which includes |index.txt| alphabetical index of all commands, which -- due to an unfortunate quirk with the doc file named index.txt and linked as index.html -- doesn't actually lead to where you would expect it to lead.
Long story short, http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/vimindex.html#g is the documentation you are looking for ("Commands starting with 'g'").
Alternatively, type :help *g* in Vim.
