Description

I was pretty hyped about getting a man so I made this :

nnoremap K "ayiw:call quickui#tools#display_help("<C-R>a")<CR>

But I noticed that it won't recognise things as let or nocompatible etc...

I was wondering that was possible to get that

In case of the command i made just yank the current word sets it the "a" register and then print it inside the brackets of the called function

I did this to replace the default K command

Btw love your work <3

Research direction

Start at the supplied K mapping and the quickui#tools#display_help entry point. Investigate how the popup currently resolves help topics, especially commands such as let and nocompatible. Done means those Vim topics can be opened through the popup when invoked from the mapping.
