Find closest ocurrence of "." in VIM

In VIM how do you find the next dot "." using the command f? I tried f. and it doesn't work.

f. works for me as long as its on the same line. If you want to search across lines you'll have to search with / using /\..

Remember that f is only for the current line, and / is for searching forward. / uses REs, so you must escape ., thus the key sequence /\.<ENTER> does the trick.

Maybe f\.

You may need to escape . since it is a special character which will match any character.
