How to find functions in documentation (lemmy.world)

I'm using NvChad and in ~/.config/nvim/lua/core/mappings.lua there is a keybinding for LSP code action:

  ["<leader>ca"] = {
    function()
      vim.lsp.buf.code_action()
      -- TODO: write buffer to file
    end,
    "LSP code action",
},

this keybinding applies the code action, but does not write to file. I want to write changes to file as soon as I've applied the code action.

How can I use the documentation at https://neovim.io/doc/ to find the correct function? I've tried looking for a write() function but I could not find anything I can call from lua.

Neovim is a modal text editor forked off of Vim in 2014. Being modal means that you do not simply type text on screen, but the behavior and functionality of the editor changes entirely depending on the mode.

The most common and most used mode, the "normal mode" for Neovim is to essentially turn your keyboard in to hotkeys with which you can navigate and manipulate text. Several modes exist, but two other most common ones are "insert mode" where you type in text directly as if it was a traditional text editor, and "visual mode" where you select text.

Neovim seeks to enable further community participation in its development and to make drastic changes without turning it in to something that is "not Vim". Neovim also seeks to enable embedding the editor within GUI applications.
