15 Vim has a number of internal variables and switches which can be set to
|
|
|
16 achieve special effects. These options come in three forms:
|
|
|
17 boolean can only be on or off *boolean* *toggle*
|
|
|
18 number has a numeric value
|
|
|
19 string has a string value

|
|
|
22 1. Setting options *set-option*
|
|
|
23
|
|
|
24 *:se* *:set*
|
|
|
25 :se[t] Show all options that differ from their default value.
|
|
|
26
|
|
|
27 :se[t] all Show all but terminal options.
|
|
|
28
|
|
|
29 :se[t] termcap Show all terminal options. Note that in the GUI the
|
|
|
30 key codes are not shown, because they are generated
|
|
|
31 internally and can't be changed. Changing the terminal
|
|
|
32 codes in the GUI is not useful either...
|
|
|
33
|
|
|
34 *E518* *E519*
|
|
|
35 :se[t] {option}? Show value of {option}.
|
|
|
36
|
|
|
37 :se[t] {option} Toggle option: set, switch it on.
|
|
|
38 Number option: show value.
|
|
|
39 String option: show value.
|
|
|
40
|
|
|
41 :se[t] no{option} Toggle option: Reset, switch it off.
|
|
|
42
|
|
|
43 :se[t] {option}! or
|
|
|
44 :se[t] inv{option} Toggle option: Invert value. {not in Vi}
|
|
|
45
|
|
|
46 *:set-default* *:set-&* *:set-&vi* *:set-&vim*
|
|
|
47 :se[t] {option}& Reset option to its default value. May depend on the
|
|
|
48 current value of 'compatible'. {not in Vi}
|
|
|
49 :se[t] {option}&vi Reset option to its Vi default value. {not in Vi}
|
|
|
50 :se[t] {option}&vim Reset option to its Vim default value. {not in Vi}
|
|
|
51
|
|
|
52 :se[t] all& Set all options, except terminal options, to their
|
|
10
|
53 default value. The values of 'term', 'lines' and
|
|
7
|
54 'columns' are not changed. {not in Vi}
|
|
|
55
|
|
|
56 *:set-args* *E487* *E521*
|
|
|
57 :se[t] {option}={value} or
|
|
|
58 :se[t] {option}:{value}
|
|
|
59 Set string or number option to {value}.
|
|
|
60 For numeric options the value can be given in decimal,
|
|
|
61 hex (preceded with 0x) or octal (preceded with '0')
|
|
|
62 (hex and octal are only available for machines which
|
|
|
63 have the strtol() function).
|
|
|
64 The old value can be inserted by typing 'wildchar' (by
|
|
|
65 default this is a <Tab> or CTRL-E if 'compatible' is
|
|
|
66 set). See |cmdline-completion|.
|
|
|
67 White space between {option} and '=' is allowed and
|
|
|
68 will be ignored. White space between '=' and {value}
|
|
|
69 is not allowed.
|
|
|
70 See |option-backslash| for using white space and
|
|
|
71 backslashes in {value}.
|
|
|
72
|
|
|
73 :se[t] {option}+={value} *:set+=*
|
|
|
74 Add the {value} to a number option, or append the
|
|
|
75 {value} to a string option. When the option is a
|
|
|
76 comma separated list, a comma is added, unless the
|
|
|
77 value was empty.
|
|
|
78 If the option is a list of flags, superfluous flags
|
|
|
79 are removed. Otherwise there is no check for doubled
|
|
|
80 values. You can avoid this by removing a value first.
|
|
|
81 Example: >
|
|
|
82 :set guioptions-=T guioptions+=T
|
|
|
83 < Also see |:set-args| above.
|
|
|
84 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
85
|
|
|
86 :se[t] {option}^={value} *:set^=*
|
|
|
87 Multiply the {value} to a number option, or prepend
|
|
|
88 the {value} to a string option. When the option is a
|
|
|
89 comma separated list, a comma is added, unless the
|
|
|
90 value was empty.
|
|
|
91 Also see |:set-args| above.
|
|
|
92 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
93
|
|
|
94 :se[t] {option}-={value} *:set-=*
|
|
|
95 Subtract the {value} from a number option, or remove
|
|
|
96 the {value} from a string option, if it is there.
|
|
|
97 If the {value} is not found in a string option, there
|
|
|
98 is no error or warning. When the option is a comma
|
|
|
99 separated list, a comma is deleted, unless the option
|
|
|
100 becomes empty.
|
|
|
101 When the option is a list of flags, {value} must be
|
|
|
102 exactly as they appear in the option. Remove flags
|
|
|
103 one by one to avoid problems.
|
|
|
104 Also see |:set-args| above.
|
|
|
105 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
106
|
|
|
107 The {option} arguments to ":set" may be repeated. For example: >
|
|
|
108 :set ai nosi sw=3 ts=3
|
|
|
109 If you make an error in one of the arguments, an error message will be given
|
|
|
110 and the following arguments will be ignored.
|
|
|
111
|
|
|
112 *:set-verbose*
|
|
|
113 When 'verbose' is non-zero, displaying an option value will also tell where it
|
|
|
114 was last set. Example: >
|
|
|
115 :verbose set shiftwidth cindent?
|
|
|
116 shiftwidth=4
|
|
|
117 Last set from modeline
|
|
|
118 cindent
|
|
|
119 Last set from /usr/local/share/vim/vim60/ftplugin/c.vim
|
|
|
120 This is only done when specific option values are requested, not for ":set
|
|
|
121 all" or ":set" without an argument.
|
|
|
122 When the option was set by hand there is no "Last set" message. There is only
|
|
|
123 one value for all local options with the same name. Thus the message applies
|
|
|
124 to the option name, not necessarily its value.
|
|
|
125 When the option was set while executing a function, user command or
|
|
|
126 autocommand, the script in which it was defined is reported.
|
|
|
127 Note that an option may also have been set as a side effect of setting
|
|
|
128 'compatible'.
|
|
|
129 {not available when compiled without the +eval feature}
|
|
|
130
|
|
|
131 *:set-termcap* *E522*
|
|
|
132 For {option} the form "t_xx" may be used to set a termcap option. This will
|
|
|
133 override the value from the termcap. You can then use it in a mapping. If
|
|
|
134 the "xx" part contains special characters, use the <t_xx> form: >
|
|
|
135 :set <t_#4>=^[Ot
|
|
|
136 This can also be used to translate a special code for a normal key. For
|
|
|
137 example, if Alt-b produces <Esc>b, use this: >
|
|
|
138 :set <M-b>=^[b
|
|
|
139 (the ^[ is a real <Esc> here, use CTRL-V <Esc> to enter it)
|
|
|
140 The advantage over a mapping is that it works in all situations.
|
|
|
141
|
|
36
|
142 The t_xx options cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for
|
|
|
143 security reasons.
|
|
|
144
|
|
7
|
145 The listing from ":set" looks different from Vi. Long string options are put
|
|
10
|
146 at the end of the list. The number of options is quite large. The output of
|
|
7
|
147 "set all" probably does not fit on the screen, causing Vim to give the
|
|
|
148 |more-prompt|.
|
|
|
149
|
|
|
150 *option-backslash*
|
|
|
151 To include white space in a string option value it has to be preceded with a
|
|
|
152 backslash. To include a backslash you have to use two. Effectively this
|
|
|
153 means that the number of backslashes in an option value is halved (rounded
|
|
|
154 down).
|
|
|
155 A few examples: >
|
|
|
156 :set tags=tags\ /usr/tags results in "tags /usr/tags"
|
|
|
157 :set tags=tags\\,file results in "tags\,file"
|
|
|
158 :set tags=tags\\\ file results in "tags\ file"
|
|
|
159
|
|
10
|
160 The "|" character separates a ":set" command from a following command. To
|
|
|
161 include the "|" in the option value, use "\|" instead. This example sets the
|
|
7
|
162 'titlestring' option to "hi|there": >
|
|
|
163 :set titlestring=hi\|there
|
|
|
164 This sets the 'titlestring' option to "hi" and 'iconstring' to "there": >
|
|
|
165 :set titlestring=hi|set iconstring=there
|
|
|
166
|
|
10
|
167 For MS-DOS and WIN32 backslashes in file names are mostly not removed. More
|
|
7
|
168 precise: For options that expect a file name (those where environment
|
|
|
169 variables are expanded) a backslash before a normal file name character is not
|
|
|
170 removed. But a backslash before a special character (space, backslash, comma,
|
|
|
171 etc.) is used like explained above.
|
|
|
172 There is one special situation, when the value starts with "\\": >
|
|
|
173 :set dir=\\machine\path results in "\\machine\path"
|
|
|
174 :set dir=\\\\machine\\path results in "\\machine\path"
|
|
|
175 :set dir=\\path\\file results in "\\path\file" (wrong!)
|
|
|
176 For the first one the start is kept, but for the second one the backslashes
|
|
|
177 are halved. This makes sure it works both when you expect backslashes to be
|
|
10
|
178 halved and when you expect the backslashes to be kept. The third gives a
|
|
7
|
179 result which is probably not what you want. Avoid it.
|
|
|
180
|
|
|
181 *add-option-flags* *remove-option-flags*
|
|
|
182 *E539* *E550* *E551* *E552*
|
|
|
183 Some options are a list of flags. When you want to add a flag to such an
|
|
|
184 option, without changing the existing ones, you can do it like this: >
|
|
|
185 :set guioptions+=a
|
|
|
186 Remove a flag from an option like this: >
|
|
|
187 :set guioptions-=a
|
|
|
188 This removes the 'a' flag from 'guioptions'.
|
|
10
|
189 Note that you should add or remove one flag at a time. If 'guioptions' has
|
|
7
|
190 the value "ab", using "set guioptions-=ba" won't work, because the string "ba"
|
|
|
191 doesn't appear.
|
|
|
192
|
|
|
193 *:set_env* *expand-env* *expand-environment-var*
|
|
22
|
194 Environment variables in specific string options will be expanded. If the
|
|
7
|
195 environment variable exists the '$' and the following environment variable
|
|
|
196 name is replaced with its value. If it does not exist the '$' and the name
|
|
|
197 are not modified. Any non-id character (not a letter, digit or '_') may
|
|
|
198 follow the environment variable name. That character and what follows is
|
|
|
199 appended to the value of the environment variable. Examples: >
|
|
|
200 :set term=$TERM.new
|
|
|
201 :set path=/usr/$INCLUDE,$HOME/include,.
|
|
|
202 When adding or removing a string from an option with ":set opt-=val" or ":set
|
|
|
203 opt+=val" the expansion is done before the adding or removing.
|
|
|
204
|
|
|
205
|
|
|
206 Handling of local options *local-options*
|
|
|
207
|
|
|
208 Some of the options only apply to a window or buffer. Each window or buffer
|
|
|
209 has its own copy of this option, thus can each have their own value. This
|
|
|
210 allows you to set 'list' in one window but not in another. And set
|
|
|
211 'shiftwidth' to 3 in one buffer and 4 in another.
|
|
|
212
|
|
|
213 The following explains what happens to these local options in specific
|
|
|
214 situations. You don't really need to know all of this, since Vim mostly uses
|
|
|
215 the option values you would expect. Unfortunately, doing what the user
|
|
|
216 expects is a bit complicated...
|
|
|
217
|
|
|
218 When splitting a window, the local options are copied to the new window. Thus
|
|
|
219 right after the split the contents of the two windows look the same.
|
|
|
220
|
|
|
221 When editing a new buffer, its local option values must be initialized. Since
|
|
|
222 the local options of the current buffer might be specifically for that buffer,
|
|
|
223 these are not used. Instead, for each buffer-local option there also is a
|
|
|
224 global value, which is used for new buffers. With ":set" both the local and
|
|
|
225 global value is changed. With "setlocal" only the local value is changed,
|
|
|
226 thus this value is not used when editing a new buffer.
|
|
|
227
|
|
|
228 When editing a buffer that has been edited before, the last used window
|
|
|
229 options are used again. If this buffer has been edited in this window, the
|
|
|
230 values from back then are used. Otherwise the values from the window where
|
|
|
231 the buffer was edited last are used.
|
|
|
232
|
|
|
233 It's possible to set a local window option specifically for a type of buffer.
|
|
|
234 When you edit another buffer in the same window, you don't want to keep
|
|
|
235 using these local window options. Therefore Vim keeps a global value of the
|
|
|
236 local window options, which is used when editing another buffer. Each window
|
|
|
237 has its own copy of these values. Thus these are local to the window, but
|
|
|
238 global to all buffers in the window. With this you can do: >
|
|
|
239 :e one
|
|
|
240 :set list
|
|
|
241 :e two
|
|
|
242 Now the 'list' option will also be set in "two", since with the ":set list"
|
|
|
243 command you have also set the global value. >
|
|
|
244 :set nolist
|
|
|
245 :e one
|
|
|
246 :setlocal list
|
|
|
247 :e two
|
|
|
248 Now the 'list' option is not set, because ":set nolist" resets the global
|
|
|
249 value, ":setlocal list" only changes the local value and ":e two" gets the
|
|
|
250 global value. Note that if you do this next: >
|
|
|
251 :e one
|
|
|
252 You will not get back the 'list' value as it was the last time you edited
|
|
10
|
253 "one". The options local to a window are not remembered for each buffer.
|
|
7
|
254
|
|
|
255 *:setl* *:setlocal*
|
|
|
256 :setl[ocal] ... Like ":set" but set only the value local to the
|
|
|
257 current buffer or window. Not all options have a
|
|
|
258 local value. If the option does not have a local
|
|
|
259 value the global value is set.
|
|
|
260 With the "all" argument: display all local option's
|
|
|
261 local values.
|
|
|
262 Without argument: Display all local option's local
|
|
|
263 values which are different from the default.
|
|
|
264 When displaying a specific local option, show the
|
|
|
265 local value. For a global option the global value is
|
|
|
266 shown (but that might change in the future).
|
|
|
267 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
268
|
|
|
269 :setl[ocal] {option}< Set the local value of {option} to its global value.
|
|
|
270 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
271
|
|
|
272 *:setg* *:setglobal*
|
|
|
273 :setg[lobal] ... Like ":set" but set only the global value for a local
|
|
|
274 option without changing the local value.
|
|
|
275 When displaying an option, the global value is shown.
|
|
|
276 With the "all" argument: display all local option's
|
|
|
277 global values.
|
|
|
278 Without argument: display all local option's global
|
|
|
279 values which are different from the default.
|
|
|
280 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
281
|
|
|
282 For buffer-local and window-local options:
|
|
|
283 Command global value local value ~
|
|
|
284 :set option=value set set
|
|
|
285 :setlocal option=value - set
|
|
|
286 :setglobal option=value set -
|
|
|
287 :set option? - display
|
|
|
288 :setlocal option? - display
|
|
|
289 :setglobal option? display -
|
|
|
290
|
|
|
291
|
|
|
292 Global options with a local value *global-local*
|
|
|
293
|
|
40
|
294 Options are global when you mostly use one value for all buffers and windows.
|
|
|
295 For some global options it's useful to sometimes have a different local value.
|
|
|
296 You can set the local value with ":setlocal". That buffer or window will then
|
|
|
297 use the local value, while other buffers and windows continue using the global
|
|
|
298 value.
|
|
7
|
299
|
|
|
300 For example, you have two windows, both on C source code. They use the global
|
|
|
301 'makeprg' option. If you do this in one of the two windows: >
|
|
|
302 :set makeprg=gmake
|
|
|
303 then the other window will switch to the same value. There is no need to set
|
|
|
304 the 'makeprg' option in the other C source window too.
|
|
|
305 However, if you start editing a Perl file in a new window, you want to use
|
|
|
306 another 'makeprog' for it, without changing the value used for the C source
|
|
10
|
307 files. You use this command: >
|
|
7
|
308 :setlocal makeprg=perlmake
|
|
|
309 You can switch back to using the global value by making the local value empty: >
|
|
|
310 :setlocal makeprg=
|
|
|
311 This only works for a string option. For a boolean option you need to use the
|
|
|
312 "<" flag, like this: >
|
|
|
313 :setlocal autoread<
|
|
|
314 Note that for non-boolean options using "<" copies the global value to the
|
|
|
315 local value, it doesn't switch back to using the global value (that matters
|
|
|
316 when changing the global value later).
|
|
|
317 Note: In the future more global options can be made global-local. Using
|
|
|
318 ":setlocal" on a global option might work differently then.
|

321 Setting the filetype
|
|
|
322

|
|
323 :setf[iletype] {filetype} *:setf* *:setfiletype*

324 Set the 'filetype' option to {filetype}, but only if
|
|
|
325 not done yet in a sequence of (nested) autocommands.
|
|
|
326 This is short for: >
|
|
|
327 :if !did_filetype()
|
|
|
328 : setlocal filetype={filetype}
|
|
|
329 :endif
|
|
|
330 < This command is used in a filetype.vim file to avoid
|
|
|
331 setting the 'filetype' option twice, causing different
|
|
|
332 settings and syntax files to be loaded.

|
|
|
334
|
|
|
335 :bro[wse] se[t] *:set-browse* *:browse-set* *:opt* *:options*
|
|
|
336 :opt[ions] Open a window for viewing and setting all options.
|
|
|
337 Options are grouped by function.
|
|
|
338 Offers short help for each option. Hit <CR> on the
|
|
|
339 short help to open a help window with more help for
|

|
|
342 "set" line to set the new value. For window and
|
|
|
343 buffer specific options, the last accessed window is
|
|
|
344 used to set the option value in, unless this is a help
|
|
|
345 window, in which case the window below help window is
|
|
|
346 used (skipping the option-window).

|
|
|
350 *$HOME*
|
|
|
351 Using "~" is like using "$HOME", but it is only recognized at the start of an
|
|
|
352 option and after a space or comma.
|
|
|
353
|
|
|
354 On Unix systems "~user" can be used too. It is replaced by the home directory
|
|
|
355 of user "user". Example: >
|
|
|
356 :set path=~mool/include,/usr/include,.
|
|
|
357
|
|
|
358 On Unix systems the form "${HOME}" can be used too. The name between {} can
|
|
|
359 contain non-id characters then. Note that if you want to use this for the
|
|
|
360 "gf" command, you need to add the '{' and '}' characters to 'isfname'.
|
|
|
361
|
|
|
362 NOTE: expanding environment variables and "~/" is only done with the ":set"
|
|
|
363 command, not when assigning a value to an option with ":let".
|
|
|
364
|
|
|
365
|
|
|
366 Note the maximum length of an expanded option is limited. How much depends on
|
|
|
367 the system, mostly it is something like 256 or 1024 characters.
|
|
|
368
|
|
|
369 *:fix* *:fixdel*
|
|
|
370 :fix[del] Set the value of 't_kD':
|
|
|
371 't_kb' is 't_kD' becomes ~
|
|
|
372 CTRL-? CTRL-H
|
|
|
373 not CTRL-? CTRL-?
|
|
|
374
|
|
|
375 (CTRL-? is 0177 octal, 0x7f hex) {not in Vi}
|
|
|
376
|
|
|
377 If your delete key terminal code is wrong, but the
|
|
|
378 code for backspace is alright, you can put this in
|
|
|
379 your .vimrc: >
|
|
|
380 :fixdel
|
|
|
381 < This works no matter what the actual code for
|
|
|
382 backspace is.
|
|
|
383
|
|
|
384 If the backspace key terminal code is wrong you can
|
|
|
385 use this: >
|
|
|
386 :if &term == "termname"
|
|
|
387 : set t_kb=^V<BS>
|
|
|
388 : fixdel
|
|
|
389 :endif
|
|
|
390 < Where "^V" is CTRL-V and "<BS>" is the backspace key
|
|
10
|
391 (don't type four characters!). Replace "termname"
|
|
7
|
392 with your terminal name.
|
|
|
393
|
|
|
394 If your <Delete> key sends a strange key sequence (not
|
|
|
395 CTRL-? or CTRL-H) you cannot use ":fixdel". Then use: >
|
|
|
396 :if &term == "termname"
|
|
|
397 : set t_kD=^V<Delete>
|
|
|
398 :endif
|
|
|
399 < Where "^V" is CTRL-V and "<Delete>" is the delete key
|
|
|
400 (don't type eight characters!). Replace "termname"
|
|
|
401 with your terminal name.
|
|
|
402
|
|
|
403 *Linux-backspace*
|
|
|
404 Note about Linux: By default the backspace key
|
|
|
405 produces CTRL-?, which is wrong. You can fix it by
|
|
|
406 putting this line in your rc.local: >
|
|
|
407 echo "keycode 14 = BackSpace" | loadkeys
|
|
|
408 <
|
|
|
409 *NetBSD-backspace*
|
|
|
410 Note about NetBSD: If your backspace doesn't produce
|
|
|
411 the right code, try this: >
|
|
|
412 xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = BackSpace"
|
|
|
413 < If this works, add this in your .Xmodmap file: >
|
|
|
414 keysym 22 = BackSpace
|
|
|
415 < You need to restart for this to take effect.

|
|
|
418 2. Automatically setting options *auto-setting*
|
|
|
419
|
|
|
420 Besides changing options with the ":set" command, there are three alternatives
|
|
|
421 to set options automatically for one or more files:
|
|
|
422
|
|
|
423 1. When starting Vim initializations are read from various places. See
|
|
|
424 |initialization|. Most of them are performed for all editing sessions,
|
|
|
425 and some of them depend on the directory where Vim is started.
|
|
|
426 You can create an initialization file with |:mkvimrc|, |:mkview| and
|
|
|
427 |:mksession|.
|
|
|
428 2. If you start editing a new file, the automatic commands are executed.
|
|
|
429 This can be used to set options for files matching a particular pattern and
|
|
|
430 many other things. See |autocommand|.
|
|
|
431 3. If you start editing a new file, and the 'modeline' option is on, a
|
|
|
432 number of lines at the beginning and end of the file are checked for
|
|
|
433 modelines. This is explained here.
|
|
|
434
|
|
|
435 *modeline* *vim:* *vi:* *ex:* *E520*
|
|
|
436 There are two forms of modelines. The first form:
|
|
|
437 [text]{white}{vi:|vim:|ex:}[white]{options}
|
|
|
438
|
|
|
439 [text] any text or empty
|
|
|
440 {white} at least one blank character (<Space> or <Tab>)
|
|
|
441 {vi:|vim:|ex:} the string "vi:", "vim:" or "ex:"
|
|
|
442 [white] optional white space
|
|
|
443 {options} a list of option settings, separated with white space or ':',
|
|
|
444 where each part between ':' is the argument for a ":set"
|
|
|
445 command
|
|
|
446
|
|
|
447 Example: >
|
|
|
448 vi:noai:sw=3 ts=6
|
|
|
449
|
|
|
450 The second form (this is compatible with some versions of Vi):
|
|
|
451
|
|
|
452 [text]{white}{vi:|vim:|ex:}[white]se[t] {options}:[text]
|
|
|
453
|
|
|
454 [text] any text or empty
|
|
|
455 {white} at least one blank character (<Space> or <Tab>)
|
|
|
456 {vi:|vim:|ex:} the string "vi:", "vim:" or "ex:"
|
|
|
457 [white] optional white space
|
|
|
458 se[t] the string "set " or "se " (note the space)
|
|
|
459 {options} a list of options, separated with white space, which is the
|
|
|
460 argument for a ":set" command
|
|
|
461 : a colon
|
|
|
462 [text] any text or empty
|
|
|
463
|
|
|
464 Example: >
|
|
|
465 /* vim: set ai tw=75: */
|
|
|
466
|
|
|
467 The white space before {vi:|vim:|ex:} is required. This minimizes the chance
|
|
|
468 that a normal word like "lex:" is caught. There is one exception: "vi:" and
|
|
|
469 "vim:" can also be at the start of the line (for compatibility with version
|
|
|
470 3.0). Using "ex:" at the start of the line will be ignored (this could be
|
|
|
471 short for "example:").
|
|
|
472
|
|
|
473 *modeline-local*
|
|
|
474 The options are set like with ":setlocal": The new value only applies to the
|
|
11
|
475 buffer and window that contain the file. Although it's possible to set global
|
|
|
476 options from a modeline, this is unusual. If you have two windows open and
|
|
|
477 the files in it set the same global option to a different value, the result
|
|
|
478 depends on which one was opened last.
|
|
7
|
479
|
|
23
|
480 When editing a file that was already loaded, only the window-local options
|
|
|
481 from the modeline are used. Thus if you manually changed a buffer-local
|
|
|
482 option after opening the file, it won't be changed if you edit the same buffer
|
|
|
483 in another window. But window-local options will be set.
|
|
|
484
|
|
7
|
485 *modeline-version*
|
|
|
486 If the modeline is only to be used for some versions of Vim, the version
|
|
|
487 number can be specified where "vim:" is used:
|
|
|
488 vim{vers}: version {vers} or later
|
|
|
489 vim<{vers}: version before {vers}
|
|
|
490 vim={vers}: version {vers}
|
|
|
491 vim>{vers}: version after {vers}
|
|
|
492 {vers} is 600 for Vim 6.0 (hundred times the major version plus minor).
|
|
|
493 For example, to use a modeline only for Vim 6.0 and later: >
|
|
|
494 /* vim600: set foldmethod=marker: */
|
|
|
495 To use a modeline for Vim before version 5.7: >
|
|
|
496 /* vim<570: set sw=4: */
|
|
|
497 There can be no blanks between "vim" and the ":".
|
|
|
498
|
|
|
499
|
|
|
500 The number of lines that are checked can be set with the 'modelines' option.
|
|
|
501 If 'modeline' is off or 'modelines' is 0 no lines are checked.
|
|
|
502
|
|
|
503 Note that for the first form all of the rest of the line is used, thus a line
|
|
|
504 like: >
|
|
|
505 /* vi:ts=4: */
|
|
|
506 will give an error message for the trailing "*/". This line is OK: >
|
|
|
507 /* vi:set ts=4: */
|
|
|
508
|
|
|
509 If an error is detected the rest of the line is skipped.
|
|
|
510
|
|
|
511 If you want to include a ':' in a set command precede it with a '\'. The
|
|
10
|
512 backslash in front of the ':' will be removed. Example: >
|
|
7
|
513 /* vi:set dir=c\:\tmp: */
|
|
|
514 This sets the 'dir' option to "c:\tmp". Only a single backslash before the
|
|
|
515 ':' is removed. Thus to include "\:" you have to specify "\\:".
|
|
|
516
|
|
|
517 No other commands than "set" are supported, for security reasons (somebody
|
|
|
518 might create a Trojan horse text file with modelines).
|
|
|
519
|
|
|
520 Hint: If you would like to do something else than setting an option, you could
|
|
|
521 define an autocommand that checks the file for a specific string. For
|
|
|
522 example: >
|
|
|
523 au BufReadPost * if getline(1) =~ "VAR" | call SetVar() | endif
|
|
|
524 And define a function SetVar() that does something with the line containing
|
|
|
525 "VAR".
|
|
|
526

|
|
527 ==============================================================================
|
|
|
528 3. Options summary *option-summary*
|
|
|
529
|
|
|
530 In the list below all the options are mentioned with their full name and with
|
|
|
531 an abbreviation if there is one. Both forms may be used.
|
|
|
532
|
|
|
533 In this document when a boolean option is "set" that means that ":set option"
|
|
|
534 is entered. When an option is "reset", ":set nooption" is used.
|
|
|
535
|
|
|
536 For some options there are two default values: The "Vim default", which is
|
|
|
537 used when 'compatible' is not set, and the "Vi default", which is used when
|
|
|
538 'compatible' is set.
|
|
|
539
|
|
|
540 Most options are the same in all windows and buffers. There are a few that
|
|
10
|
541 are specific to how the text is presented in a window. These can be set to a
|
|
7
|
542 different value in each window. For example the 'list' option can be set in
|
|
|
543 one window and reset in another for the same text, giving both types of view
|
|
|
544 at the same time. There are a few options that are specific to a certain
|
|
|
545 file. These can have a different value for each file or buffer. For example
|
|
|
546 the 'textwidth' option can be 78 for a normal text file and 0 for a C
|
|
|
547 program.
|
|
|
548
|
|
|
549 global one option for all buffers and windows
|
|
|
550 local to window each window has its own copy of this option
|
|
|
551 local to buffer each buffer has its own copy of this option
|
|
|
552
|
|
|
553 When creating a new window the option values from the currently active window
|
|
|
554 are used as a default value for the window-specific options. For the
|
|
|
555 buffer-specific options this depends on the 's' and 'S' flags in the
|
|
|
556 'cpoptions' option. If 's' is included (which is the default) the values for
|
|
|
557 buffer options are copied from the currently active buffer when a buffer is
|
|
10
|
558 first entered. If 'S' is present the options are copied each time the buffer
|
|
|
559 is entered, this is almost like having global options. If 's' and 'S' are not
|
|
7
|
560 present, the options are copied from the currently active buffer when the
|
|
|
561 buffer is created.
|
|
|
562
|
|
10
|
563 Not all options are supported in all versions. To test if option "foo" can be
|
|
|
564 used with ":set" use "exists('&foo')". This doesn't mean the value is
|
|
|
565 actually remembered and works. Some options are hidden, which means that you
|
|
7
|
566 can set them but the value is not remembered. To test if option "foo" is
|
|
|
567 really supported use "exists('+foo')".
|
|
|

|
|
|
618 Tells Vim what to do with characters with East Asian Width Class
|
|
|
619 Ambiguous (such as Euro, Registered Sign, Copyright Sign, Greek
|
|
|
620 letters, Cyrillic letters).
|
|
|
621
|
|
|
622 There are currently two possible values:
|
|
233
|
623 "single": Use the same width as characters in US-ASCII. This is
|
|
7
|
624 expected by most users.
|
|
|
625 "double": Use twice the width of ASCII characters.
|
|
|
626
|
|
|
627 There are a number of CJK fonts for which the width of glyphs for
|
|
|
628 those characters are solely based on how many octets they take in
|
|
|
629 legacy/traditional CJK encodings. In those encodings, Euro,
|
|
|
630 Registered sign, Greek/Cyrillic letters are represented by two octets,
|
|
233
|
631 therefore those fonts have "wide" glyphs for them. This is also
|
|
7
|
632 true of some line drawing characters used to make tables in text
|
|
233
|
633 file. Therefore, when a CJK font is used for GUI Vim or
|
|
7
|
634 Vim is running inside a terminal (emulators) that uses a CJK font
|
|
|
635 (or Vim is run inside an xterm invoked with "-cjkwidth" option.),
|
|
|
636 this option should be set to "double" to match the width perceived
|
|
|
637 by Vim with the width of glyphs in the font. Perhaps it also has
|
|
|
638 to be set to "double" under CJK Windows 9x/ME or Windows 2k/XP
|
|
|
639 when the system locale is set to one of CJK locales. See Unicode
|
|
|
640 Standard Annex #11 (http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr11).

648 This option only has an effect in the GUI version of Vim on Mac OS X
|

701 within a word (initial, medial, final and stand-alone).
|
|

|
|
|
704 When disabled the character display reverts back to each character's

758 *'background'* *'bg'*
|
|
|
759 'background' 'bg' string (default "dark" or "light")
|
|
|
760 global
|
|
|
761 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
762 When set to "dark", Vim will try to use colors that look good on a
|
|
|
763 dark background. When set to "light", Vim will try to use colors that
|
|
|
764 look good on a light background. Any other value is illegal.
|
|
|
765 Vim tries to set the default value according to the terminal used.
|
|
|
766 This will not always be correct.
|
|
|
767 Setting this option does not change the background color, it tells Vim
|
|
|
768 what the background color looks like. For changing the background
|
|
|
769 color, see |:hi-normal|.
|
|
|
770
|
|
|
771 When 'background' is set Vim will adjust the default color groups for
|
|
10
|
772 the new value. But the colors used for syntax highlighting will not
|
|
7
|
773 change.
|
|
|
774 When a color scheme is loaded (the "colors_name" variable is set)
|
|
|
775 setting 'background' will cause the color scheme to be reloaded. If
|
|
|
776 the color scheme adjusts to the value of 'background' this will work.
|
|
|
777 However, if the color scheme sets 'background' itself the effect may
|
|
|
778 be undone. First delete the "colors_name" variable when needed.
|
|
|
779
|
|
|
780 When setting 'background' to the default value with: >
|
|
|
781 :set background&
|
|
|
782 < Vim will guess the value. In the GUI this should work correctly,
|
|
|
783 in other cases Vim might not be able to guess the right value.
|
|
|
784
|
|
|
785 When starting the GUI, the default value for 'background' will be
|
|
|
786 "light". When the value is not set in the .gvimrc, and Vim detects
|
|
|
787 that the background is actually quite dark, 'background' is set to
|
|
|
788 "dark". But this happens only AFTER the .gvimrc file has been read
|
|
|
789 (because the window needs to be opened to find the actual background
|
|
|
790 color). To get around this, force the GUI window to be opened by
|
|
|
791 putting a ":gui" command in the .gvimrc file, before where the value
|
|
|
792 of 'background' is used (e.g., before ":syntax on").
|
|
|
793 Normally this option would be set in the .vimrc file. Possibly
|
|
|
794 depending on the terminal name. Example: >
|
|
|
795 :if &term == "pcterm"
|
|
|
796 : set background=dark
|
|
|
797 :endif
|
|
|
798 < When this option is set, the default settings for the highlight groups
|
|
|
799 will change. To use other settings, place ":highlight" commands AFTER
|
|
|
800 the setting of the 'background' option.
|
|
|
801 This option is also used in the "$VIMRUNTIME/syntax/syntax.vim" file
|
|
|
802 to select the colors for syntax highlighting. After changing this
|
|
|
803 option, you must load syntax.vim again to see the result. This can be
|
|
|
804 done with ":syntax on".

|
|
819 When the value is empty, Vi compatible backspacing is used.
|

820
|
|
|
821 For backwards compatibility with version 5.4 and earlier:
|
|

822 value effect ~

834 Make a backup before overwriting a file. Leave it around after the
|
|

835 file has been successfully written. If you do not want to keep the
|
|
|
836 backup file, but you do want a backup while the file is being
|
|
|
837 written, reset this option and set the 'writebackup' option (this is
|
|
|
838 the default). If you do not want a backup file at all reset both
|
|
10
|
839 options (use this if your file system is almost full). See the
|
|
7
|
840 |backup-table| for more explanations.
|
|
|
841 When the 'backupskip' pattern matches, a backup is not made anyway.
|
|
|
842 When 'patchmode' is set, the backup may be renamed to become the
|
|
|
843 oldest version of a file.

848 global

849 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
850 When writing a file and a backup is made, this option tells how it's
|
|
|
851 done. This is a comma separated list of words.
|
|
|
852
|
|
|
853 The main values are:
|
|
|
854 "yes" make a copy of the file and overwrite the original one
|
|
|
855 "no" rename the file and write a new one
|
|
|
856 "auto" one of the previous, what works best
|
|
|
857
|
|
|
858 Extra values that can be combined with the ones above are:
|
|
|
859 "breaksymlink" always break symlinks when writing
|
|
|
860 "breakhardlink" always break hardlinks when writing
|
|
|
861
|
|
|
862 Making a copy and overwriting the original file:
|
|
|
863 - Takes extra time to copy the file.
|
|
|
864 + When the file has special attributes, is a (hard/symbolic) link or
|
|
|
865 has a resource fork, all this is preserved.
|
|
|
866 - When the file is a link the backup will have the name of the link,
|
|
|
867 not of the real file.
|
|
|
868
|
|
|
869 Renaming the file and writing a new one:
|
|
|
870 + It's fast.
|
|
|
871 - Sometimes not all attributes of the file can be copied to the new
|
|
|
872 file.
|
|
|
873 - When the file is a link the new file will not be a link.
|
|
|
874
|
|
|
875 The "auto" value is the middle way: When Vim sees that renaming file
|
|
|
876 is possible without side effects (the attributes can be passed on and
|
|
|
877 and the file is not a link) that is used. When problems are expected,
|
|
|
878 a copy will be made.
|
|
|
879
|
|
|
880 The "breaksymlink" and "breakhardlink" values can be used in
|
|
|
881 combination with any of "yes", "no" and "auto". When included, they
|
|
|
882 force Vim to always break either symbolic or hard links by doing
|
|
|
883 exactly what the "no" option does, renaming the original file to
|
|
|
884 become the backup and writing a new file in its place. This can be
|
|
|
885 useful for example in source trees where all the files are symbolic or
|
|
|
886 hard links and any changes should stay in the local source tree, not
|
|
|
887 be propagated back to the original source.
|
|
|
888 *crontab*
|
|
|
889 One situation where "no" and "auto" will cause problems: A program
|
|
|
890 that opens a file, invokes Vim to edit that file, and then tests if
|
|
|
891 the open file was changed (through the file descriptor) will check the
|
|
10
|
892 backup file instead of the newly created file. "crontab -e" is an
|
|
7
|
893 example.
|
|
|
894
|
|
|
895 When a copy is made, the original file is truncated and then filled
|
|
|
896 with the new text. This means that protection bits, owner and
|
|
|
897 symbolic links of the original file are unmodified. The backup file
|
|
10
|
898 however, is a new file, owned by the user who edited the file. The
|
|
7
|
899 group of the backup is set to the group of the original file. If this
|
|
|
900 fails, the protection bits for the group are made the same as for
|
|
|
901 others.
|
|
|
902
|
|
|
903 When the file is renamed this is the other way around: The backup has
|
|
|
904 the same attributes of the original file, and the newly written file
|
|
|
905 is owned by the current user. When the file was a (hard/symbolic)
|
|
|
906 link, the new file will not! That's why the "auto" value doesn't
|
|
|
907 rename when the file is a link. The owner and group of the newly
|
|
|
908 written file will be set to the same ones as the original file, but
|
|
|
909 the system may refuse to do this. In that case the "auto" value will
|
|
|
910 again not rename the file.

912 *'backupdir'* *'bdir'*

913 'backupdir' 'bdir' string (default for Amiga: ".,t:",

|
918 List of directories for the backup file, separated with commas.
|
|
|
919 - The backup file will be created in the first directory in the list
|
|
|
920 where this is possible.
|
|
|
921 - Empty means that no backup file will be created ('patchmode' is
|
|
|
922 impossible!). Writing may fail because of this.
|
|
|
923 - A directory "." means to put the backup file in the same directory
|
|
|
924 as the edited file.
|
|
33
|
925 - A directory starting with "./" (or ".\" for MS-DOS et al.) means to
|
|
7
|
926 put the backup file relative to where the edited file is. The
|
|
|
927 leading "." is replaced with the path name of the edited file.
|
|
|
928 ("." inside a directory name has no special meaning).
|
|
|
929 - Spaces after the comma are ignored, other spaces are considered part
|
|
|
930 of the directory name. To have a space at the start of a directory
|
|
|
931 name, precede it with a backslash.
|
|
|
932 - To include a comma in a directory name precede it with a backslash.
|
|
|
933 - A directory name may end in an '/'.
|
|
|
934 - Environment variables are expanded |:set_env|.
|
|
|
935 - Careful with '\' characters, type one before a space, type two to
|
|
|
936 get one in the option (see |option-backslash|), for example: >
|
|
|
937 :set bdir=c:\\tmp,\ dir\\,with\\,commas,\\\ dir\ with\ spaces
|
|
|
938 < - For backwards compatibility with Vim version 3.0 a '>' at the start
|
|
|
939 of the option is removed.
|
|
|
940 See also 'backup' and 'writebackup' options.
|
|
|
941 If you want to hide your backup files on Unix, consider this value: >
|
|
|
942 :set backupdir=./.backup,~/.backup,.,/tmp
|
|
|
943 < You must create a ".backup" directory in each directory and in your
|
|
|
944 home directory for this to work properly.
|
|
|
945 The use of |:set+=| and |:set-=| is preferred when adding or removing
|
|
|
946 directories from the list. This avoids problems when a future version
|
|
|
947 uses another default.
|
|
|
948 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for
|
|
|
949 security reasons.

955 String which is appended to a file name to make the name of the
|
|
|
956 backup file. The default is quite unusual, because this avoids
|
|
|
957 accidentally overwriting existing files with a backup file. You might
|
|
|
958 prefer using ".bak", but make sure that you don't have files with
|
|
|
959 ".bak" that you want to keep.

|
960 Only normal file name characters can be used, "/\*?[|<>" are illegal.

962 If you like to keep a lot of backups, you could use a BufWritePre

963 autocommand to change 'backupext' just before writing the file to
|
|
|
964 include a timestamp. >

974 A list of file patterns. When one of the patterns matches with the

|
|
975 name of the file which is written, no backup file is created. Both
|
|
|
976 the specified file name and the full path name of the file are used.
|
|

977 The pattern is used like with |:autocmd|, see |autocmd-patterns|.

|
|
|
1004 Expression to show in evaluation balloon. It is only used when
|
|
|
1005 'ballooneval' is on. These variables can be used:
|
|
|
1006
|
|
|
1007 v:beval_bufnr number of the buffer in which balloon is going to show
|
|
|
1008 v:beval_winnr number of the window
|
|

1009 v:beval_lnum line number
|
|
|
1010 v:beval_col column number (byte index)
|
|
|
1011 v:beval_text word under or after the mouse pointer
|
|
|
1012
|
|
|
1013 The evaluation of the expression must not have side effects!
|
|
|
1014 Example: >
|
|
|
1015 function! MyBalloonExpr()
|
|
|
1016 return 'Cursor is at line ' . v:beval_lnum .
|

|
|
|
1024 NOTE: The balloon is displayed only if the cursor is on a text
|
|
|
1025 character. If the result of evaluating 'balloonexpr' is not empty,
|
|
|
1026 Vim does not try to send a message to an external debugger (Netbeans

1029 *'binary'* *'bin'* *'nobinary'* *'nobin'*
|
|
|
1030 'binary' 'bin' boolean (default off)
|
|
|
1031 local to buffer
|
|
|
1032 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
1033 This option should be set before editing a binary file. You can also
|
|
|
1034 use the |-b| Vim argument. When this option is switched on a few
|
|
|
1035 options will be changed (also when it already was on):
|
|
|
1036 'textwidth' will be set to 0
|
|
|
1037 'wrapmargin' will be set to 0
|
|
|
1038 'modeline' will be off
|
|
|
1039 'expandtab' will be off
|
|
|
1040 Also, 'fileformat' and 'fileformats' options will not be used, the
|
|
|
1041 file is read and written like 'fileformat' was "unix" (a single <NL>
|
|
|
1042 separates lines).
|
|
|
1043 The 'fileencoding' and 'fileencodings' options will not be used, the
|
|
|
1044 file is read without conversion.
|
|
|
1045 NOTE: When you start editing a(nother) file while the 'bin' option is
|
|
|
1046 on, settings from autocommands may change the settings again (e.g.,
|
|
|
1047 'textwidth'), causing trouble when editing. You might want to set
|
|
|
1048 'bin' again when the file has been loaded.
|
|
|
1049 The previous values of these options are remembered and restored when
|
|
|
1050 'bin' is switched from on to off. Each buffer has its own set of
|
|
|
1051 saved option values.
|
|
|
1052 To edit a file with 'binary' set you can use the |++bin| argument.
|
|
|
1053 This avoids you have to do ":set bin", which would have effect for all
|
|
|
1054 files you edit.
|
|
|
1055 When writing a file the <EOL> for the last line is only written if
|
|
|
1056 there was one in the original file (normally Vim appends an <EOL> to
|
|
|
1057 the last line if there is none; this would make the file longer). See
|
|
|
1058 the 'endofline' option.

1064 When on the bios is called to obtain a keyboard character. This works

1065 better to detect CTRL-C, but only works for the console. When using a
|

1072 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
1073 {only available when compiled with the |+multi_byte|
|
|
|
1074 feature}
|
|
|
1075 When writing a file and the following conditions are met, a BOM (Byte
|
|
|
1076 Order Mark) is prepended to the file:
|
|
|
1077 - this option is on
|
|
|
1078 - the 'binary' option is off
|
|
|
1079 - 'fileencoding' is "utf-8", "ucs-2", "ucs-4" or one of the little/big
|
|
|
1080 endian variants.
|
|
|
1081 Some applications use the BOM to recognize the encoding of the file.
|
|
|
1082 Often used for UCS-2 files on MS-Windows. For other applications it
|
|
|
1083 causes trouble, for example: "cat file1 file2" makes the BOM of file2
|
|
|
1084 appear halfway the resulting file.
|
|
|
1085 When Vim reads a file and 'fileencodings' starts with "ucs-bom", a
|
|
|
1086 check for the presence of the BOM is done and 'bomb' set accordingly.
|
|
|
1087 Unless 'binary' is set, it is removed from the first line, so that you
|
|
|
1088 don't see it when editing. When you don't change the options, the BOM
|
|
|
1089 will be restored when writing the file.

|
1141 This option is reset by Vim for buffers that are only used to remember

1142 a file name or marks. Vim sets it when starting to edit a buffer.

|
|
|
1162
|
|
|
1163 This option is used together with 'bufhidden' and 'swapfile' to
|
|
|
1164 specify special kinds of buffers. See |special-buffers|.
|
|
|
1165
|
|
|
1166 Be careful with changing this option, it can have many side effects!
|
|
|
1167
|
|
|
1168 A "quickfix" buffer is only used for the error list. This value is
|
|
|
1169 set by the |:cwindow| command and you are not supposed to change it.
|
|
|
1170
|
|
|
1171 "nofile" and "nowrite" buffers are similar:
|
|
|
1172 both: The buffer is not to be written to disk, ":w" doesn't
|
|
|
1173 work (":w filename" does work though).
|
|
|
1174 both: The buffer is never considered to be |'modified'|.
|
|
|
1175 There is no warning when the changes will be lost, for
|
|
|
1176 example when you quit Vim.
|
|
|
1177 both: A swap file is only created when using too much memory
|
|
|
1178 (when 'swapfile' has been reset there is never a swap
|
|
|
1179 file).
|
|
|
1180 nofile only: The buffer name is fixed, it is not handled like a
|
|
|
1181 file name. It is not modified in response to a |:cd|
|
|
|
1182 command.
|
|
17
|
1183 *E676*
|
|
|
1184 "acwrite" implies that the buffer name is not related to a file, like
|
|
|
1185 "nofile", but it will be written. Thus, in contrast to "nofile" and
|
|
|
1186 "nowrite", ":w" does work and a modified buffer can't be abandoned
|
|
|
1187 without saving. For writing there must be matching |BufWriteCmd|,
|
|
|
1188 |FileWriteCmd| or |FileAppendCmd| autocommands.

1195 these words, separated by a comma:
|

1196 internal Use internal case mapping functions, the current
|
|
|
1197 locale does not change the case mapping. This only
|
|
10
|
1198 matters when 'encoding' is a Unicode encoding. When
|
|
7
|
1199 "internal" is omitted, the towupper() and towlower()
|
|
|
1200 system library functions are used when available.
|
|
|
1201 keepascii For the ASCII characters (0x00 to 0x7f) use the US
|
|
|
1202 case mapping, the current locale is not effective.

1216 The default value is taken from $CDPATH, with a "," prepended to look

|
|
|
1218 If the default value taken from $CDPATH is not what you want, include
|
|
|
1219 a modified version of the following command in your vimrc file to

1220 override it: >

1235 The key can be specified as a single character, but it is difficult to

1248 An expression that is used for character encoding conversion. It is
|
|
|
1249 evaluated when a file that is to be read or has been written has a
|
|
|
1250 different encoding from what is desired.
|
|
|
1251 'charconvert' is not used when the internal iconv() function is
|
|
|
1252 supported and is able to do the conversion. Using iconv() is
|
|
|
1253 preferred, because it is much faster.
|
|
|
1254 'charconvert' is not used when reading stdin |--|, because there is no
|
|
|
1255 file to convert from. You will have to save the text in a file first.
|
|
|
1256 The expression must return zero or an empty string for success,
|
|
|
1257 non-zero for failure.
|
|
|
1258 The possible encoding names encountered are in 'encoding'.
|
|
|
1259 Additionally, names given in 'fileencodings' and 'fileencoding' are
|
|

1260 used.
|
|
|
1261 Conversion between "latin1", "unicode", "ucs-2", "ucs-4" and "utf-8"

1263 'charconvert' is also used to convert the viminfo file, if the 'c'
|
|
|
1264 flag is present in 'viminfo'. Also used for Unicode conversion.
|
|
|
1265 Example: >
|
|
|
1266 set charconvert=CharConvert()
|
|
|
1267 fun CharConvert()
|
|
|
1268 system("recode "
|
|
|
1269 \ . v:charconvert_from . ".." . v:charconvert_to
|
|
|
1270 \ . " <" . v:fname_in . " >" v:fname_out)
|
|
|
1271 return v:shell_error
|
|
|
1272 endfun
|
|
|
1273 < The related Vim variables are:
|
|
|
1274 v:charconvert_from name of the current encoding
|
|
|
1275 v:charconvert_to name of the desired encoding
|
|
|
1276 v:fname_in name of the input file
|
|
|
1277 v:fname_out name of the output file
|
|
|
1278 Note that v:fname_in and v:fname_out will never be the same.
|
|
|
1279 Note that v:charconvert_from and v:charconvert_to may be different
|
|
|
1280 from 'encoding'. Vim internally uses UTF-8 instead of UCS-2 or UCS-4.
|
|
|
1281 Encryption is not done by Vim when using 'charconvert'. If you want
|
|
|
1282 to encrypt the file after conversion, 'charconvert' should take care
|
|
|
1283 of this.
|
|
|
1284 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for
|
|
|
1285 security reasons.

|
|
|
1293 Enables automatic C program indenting See 'cinkeys' to set the keys
|
|
|
1294 that trigger reindenting in insert mode and 'cinoptions' to set your
|
|
|
1295 preferred indent style.
|
|
|
1296 If 'indentexpr' is not empty, it overrules 'cindent'.
|
|
|
1297 If 'lisp' is not on and both 'indentexpr' and 'equalprg' are empty,
|
|
|
1298 the "=" operator indents using this algorithm rather than calling an
|
|
|
1299 external program.
|
|
|
1300 See |C-indenting|.
|
|
|
1301 When you don't like the way 'cindent' works, try the 'smartindent'
|
|
|
1302 option or 'indentexpr'.
|
|
|
1303 This option is not used when 'paste' is set.
|
|

|
|
|
1312 A list of keys that, when typed in Insert mode, cause reindenting of
|
|
|
1313 the current line. Only used if 'cindent' is on and 'indentexpr' is
|
|
|
1314 empty.
|
|
|
1315 For the format of this option see |cinkeys-format|.

1322 {not available when compiled without the |+cindent|

1323 feature}
|
|
|
1324 The 'cinoptions' affect the way 'cindent' reindents lines in a C
|
|
|
1325 program. See |cinoptions-values| for the values of this option, and
|
|
|
1326 |C-indenting| for info on C indenting in general.

1331 local to buffer
|
|

1332 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
1333 {not available when compiled without both the
|
|
|
1334 |+cindent| and the |+smartindent| features}
|
|
|
1335 These keywords start an extra indent in the next line when
|
|
|
1336 'smartindent' or 'cindent' is set. For 'cindent' this is only done at
|
|
|
1337 an appropriate place (inside {}).
|
|
|
1338 Note that 'ignorecase' isn't used for 'cinwords'. If case doesn't
|
|
|
1339 matter, include the keyword both the uppercase and lowercase:
|
|
|
1340 "if,If,IF".
|
|
|
1341
|
|
|
1342 *'clipboard'* *'cb'*
|
|
|
1343 'clipboard' 'cb' string (default "autoselect,exclude:cons\|linux"
|
|
|
1344 for X-windows, "" otherwise)
|
|
|
1345 global
|
|
|
1346 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
1347 {only in GUI versions or when the |+xterm_clipboard|
|
|
|
1348 feature is included}
|
|
|
1349 This option is a list of comma separated names.
|
|
|
1350 These names are recognized:
|
|
|
1351
|
|
|
1352 unnamed When included, Vim will use the clipboard register '*'
|
|
|
1353 for all yank, delete, change and put operations which
|
|
|
1354 would normally go to the unnamed register. When a
|
|
|
1355 register is explicitly specified, it will always be
|
|
|
1356 used regardless of whether "unnamed" is in 'clipboard'
|
|
|
1357 or not. The clipboard register can always be
|
|
|
1358 explicitly accessed using the "* notation. Also see
|
|
|
1359 |gui-clipboard|.
|
|
|
1360
|
|
|
1361 autoselect Works like the 'a' flag in 'guioptions': If present,
|
|
|
1362 then whenever Visual mode is started, or the Visual
|
|
|
1363 area extended, Vim tries to become the owner of the
|
|
|
1364 windowing system's global selection or put the
|
|
|
1365 selected text on the clipboard used by the selection
|
|
|
1366 register "*. See |guioptions_a| and |quotestar| for
|
|
|
1367 details. When the GUI is active, the 'a' flag in
|
|
|
1368 'guioptions' is used, when the GUI is not active, this
|
|
|
1369 "autoselect" flag is used.
|
|
|
1370 Also applies to the modeless selection.
|
|
|
1371
|
|
|
1372 autoselectml Like "autoselect", but for the modeless selection
|
|
|
1373 only. Compare to the 'A' flag in 'guioptions'.
|
|
|
1374
|
|
|
1375 exclude:{pattern}
|
|
|
1376 Defines a pattern that is matched against the name of
|
|
|
1377 the terminal 'term'. If there is a match, no
|
|
|
1378 connection will be made to the X server. This is
|
|
|
1379 useful in this situation:
|
|
|
1380 - Running Vim in a console.
|
|
|
1381 - $DISPLAY is set to start applications on another
|
|
|
1382 display.
|
|
|
1383 - You do not want to connect to the X server in the
|
|
|
1384 console, but do want this in a terminal emulator.
|
|
|
1385 To never connect to the X server use: >
|
|
|
1386 exclude:.*
|
|
|
1387 < This has the same effect as using the |-X| argument.
|
|
|
1388 Note that when there is no connection to the X server
|
|
|
1389 the window title won't be restored and the clipboard
|
|
|
1390 cannot be accessed.
|
|
|
1391 The value of 'magic' is ignored, {pattern} is
|
|
|
1392 interpreted as if 'magic' was on.
|
|
|
1393 The rest of the option value will be used for
|
|
|
1394 {pattern}, this must be the last entry.
|
|
|
1395
|
|
|
1396 *'cmdheight'* *'ch'*
|
|
|
1397 'cmdheight' 'ch' number (default 1)
|
|
|
1398 global
|
|
|
1399 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
1400 Number of screen lines to use for the command-line. Helps avoiding
|
|
|
1401 |hit-enter| prompts.

|
1410
|
|
|
1411 *'columns'* *'co'* *E594*
|

|
1412 'columns' 'co' number (default 80 or terminal width)
|
|
|
1413 global
|
|
|
1414 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
1415 Number of columns of the screen. Normally this is set by the terminal
|
|
161
|
1416 initialization and does not have to be set by hand. Also see
|
|
|
1417 |posix-screen-size|.
|
|
7
|
1418 When Vim is running in the GUI or in a resizable window, setting this
|
|
|
1419 option will cause the window size to be changed. When you only want
|
|
|
1420 to use the size for the GUI, put the command in your |gvimrc| file.
|
|
|
1421 When you set this option and Vim is unable to change the physical
|
|
|
1422 number of columns of the display, the display may be messed up.
|
|
|
1423
|
|
|
1424 *'comments'* *'com'* *E524* *E525*

1428 {not in Vi}
|
|

1429 {not available when compiled without the |+comments|

|
|
|
1431 A comma separated list of strings that can start a comment line. See
|
|
|
1432 |format-comments|. See |option-backslash| about using backslashes to
|
|
|
1433 insert a space.

1435 *'commentstring'* *'cms'* *E537*

1438 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
1439 {not available when compiled without the |+folding|
|
|
|
1440 feature}
|
|
|
1441 A template for a comment. The "%s" in the value is replaced with the
|
|
|
1442 comment text. Currently only used to add markers for folding, see
|
|
|
1443 |fold-marker|.
|

1444
|
|
|
1445 *'compatible'* *'cp'* *'nocompatible'* *'nocp'*
|
|
|
1446 'compatible' 'cp' boolean (default on, off when a .vimrc file is found)
|
|
|
1447 global
|
|
|
1448 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
1449 This option has the effect of making Vim either more Vi-compatible, or
|
|
|
1450 make Vim behave in a more useful way.
|
|
|
1451 This is a special kind of option, because when it's set or reset,
|
|
|
1452 other options are also changed as a side effect. CAREFUL: Setting or
|
|
|
1453 resetting this option can have a lot of unexpected effects: Mappings
|
|
10
|
1454 are interpreted in another way, undo behaves differently, etc. If you
|
|
7
|
1455 set this option in your vimrc file, you should probably put it at the
|
|
|
1456 very start.
|
|
|
1457 By default this option is on and the Vi defaults are used for the
|
|
|
1458 options. This default was chosen for those people who want to use Vim
|
|
|
1459 just like Vi, and don't even (want to) know about the 'compatible'
|
|
|
1460 option.
|
|
|
1461 When a ".vimrc" file is found while Vim is starting up, this option is
|
|
|
1462 switched off, and all options that have not been modified will be set
|
|
|
1463 to the Vim defaults. Effectively, this means that when a ".vimrc"
|
|
|
1464 file exists, Vim will use the Vim defaults, otherwise it will use the
|
|
|
1465 Vi defaults. (Note: This doesn't happen for the system-wide vimrc
|
|
161
|
1466 file). Also see |compatible-default| and |posix-compliance|.
|
|
7
|
1467 You can also set this option with the "-C" argument, and reset it with
|
|
|
1468 "-N". See |-C| and |-N|.
|
|
|
1469 Switching this option off makes the Vim defaults be used for options
|
|
|
1470 that have a different Vi and Vim default value. See the options
|
|
|
1471 marked with a '+' below. Other options are not modified.
|
|
|
1472 At the moment this option is set, several other options will be set
|
|
|
1473 or reset to make Vim as Vi-compatible as possible. See the table
|
|
10
|
1474 below. This can be used if you want to revert to Vi compatible
|
|
7
|
1475 editing.

1538 when CTRL-P or CTRL-N are used. It is also used for whole-line
|
|
|
1539 completion |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-L|. It indicates the type of completion
|

1540 and the places to scan. It is a comma separated list of flags:
|
|
|
1541 . scan the current buffer ('wrapscan' is ignored)
|
|
|
1542 w scan buffers from other windows
|
|
|
1543 b scan other loaded buffers that are in the buffer list
|
|

1544 u scan the unloaded buffers that are in the buffer list
|
|
|
1545 U scan the buffers that are not in the buffer list
|
|
|
1546 k scan the files given with the 'dictionary' option
|
|
|
1547 k{dict} scan the file {dict}. Several "k" flags can be given,
|
|
|
1548 patterns are valid too. For example: >

1549 :set cpt=k/usr/dict/*,k~/spanish
|
|
|
1550 < s scan the files given with the 'thesaurus' option
|

1561 (gzipped files for example). Unloaded buffers are not scanned for
|
|
|
1562 whole-line completion.
|
|
|
1563
|
|
|
1564 The default is ".,w,b,u,t,i", which means to scan:
|
|
|
1565 1. the current buffer
|
|
|
1566 2. buffers in other windows
|
|
|
1567 3. other loaded buffers

1580 This option specifies a completion function to be used for CTRL-X
|
|
|
1581 CTRL-X. The function will be invoked with four arguments:
|
|
|
1582 a:line the text of the current line
|
|
|
1583 a:base the text with which matches should match
|
|
|
1584 a:col column in a:line where the cursor is, first column is
|
|
|
1585 zero
|
|
|
1586 a:findstart either 1 or 0
|
|
|
1587 When the a:findstart argument is 1, the function must return the
|
|
|
1588 column of where the completion starts. It must be a number between
|
|
|
1589 zero and "a:col". This involves looking at the characters in a:line
|
|
|
1590 before column a:col and include those characters that could be part of
|
|
|
1591 the completed item.
|
|
|
1592 When the a:findstart argument is 0 the function must return a string
|
|
|
1593 with the matching words, separated by newlines. When there are no
|
|
|
1594 matches return an empty string.

|
1616 possible values and remove the ones that don't match the base. The
|
|
|
1617 part before the "\|" matches the base, the part after it is used
|

|
|
|
1625 When 'confirm' is on, certain operations that would normally
|
|
|
1626 fail because of unsaved changes to a buffer, e.g. ":q" and ":e",
|
|
|
1627 instead raise a |dialog| asking if you wish to save the current
|
|
|
1628 file(s). You can still use a ! to unconditionally |abandon| a buffer.
|
|
|
1629 If 'confirm' is off you can still activate confirmation for one
|
|
|
1630 command only (this is most useful in mappings) with the |:confirm|
|
|
|
1631 command.

1650 Copy the structure of the existing lines indent when autoindenting a
|
|
|
1651 new line. Normally the new indent is reconstructed by a series of
|
|
|
1652 tabs followed by spaces as required (unless |'expandtab'| is enabled,
|
|
|
1653 in which case only spaces are used). Enabling this option makes the
|
|
|
1654 new line copy whatever characters were used for indenting on the
|
|
|
1655 existing line. If the new indent is greater than on the existing
|
|
|
1656 line, the remaining space is filled in the normal manner.
|
|

1657 NOTE: 'copyindent' is reset when 'compatible' is set.

1664 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
1665 A sequence of single character flags. When a character is present
|
|
10
|
1666 this indicates vi-compatible behavior. This is used for things where
|
|
7
|
1667 not being vi-compatible is mostly or sometimes preferred.
|
|
|
1668 'cpoptions' stands for "compatible-options".
|
|
|
1669 Commas can be added for readability.
|
|
|
1670 To avoid problems with flags that are added in the future, use the
|
|
|
1671 "+=" and "-=" feature of ":set" |add-option-flags|.
|
|
|
1672 NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is
|
|
|
1673 set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset.
|
|
164
|
1674 NOTE: This option is set to the POSIX default value at startup when
|
|
|
1675 the Vi default value would be used and the $VIM_POSIX environment
|
|
|
1676 variable exists |posix|. This means tries to behave like the POSIX

1678
|
|
|
1679 contains behavior ~
|
|
|
1680 *cpo-a*
|
|
|
1681 a When included, a ":read" command with a file name
|
|
|
1682 argument will set the alternate file name for the
|
|
|
1683 current window.
|
|
|
1684 *cpo-A*
|
|
|
1685 A When included, a ":write" command with a file name
|
|
|
1686 argument will set the alternate file name for the
|
|
|
1687 current window.
|
|
|
1688 *cpo-b*
|
|
|
1689 b "\|" in a ":map" command is recognized as the end of
|
|
|
1690 the map command. The '\' is included in the mapping,
|
|
|
1691 the text after the '|' is interpreted as the next
|
|
|
1692 command. Use a CTRL-V instead of a backslash to
|
|
|
1693 include the '|' in the mapping. Applies to all
|
|
|
1694 mapping, abbreviation, menu and autocmd commands.
|
|
|
1695 See also |map_bar|.
|
|
|
1696 *cpo-B*
|
|
|
1697 B A backslash has no special meaning in mappings,
|
|
|
1698 abbreviations and the "to" part of the menu commands.
|
|
|
1699 Remove this flag to be able to use a backslash like a
|
|
|
1700 CTRL-V. For example, the command ":map X \<Esc>"
|
|
|
1701 results in X being mapped to:
|
|
|
1702 'B' included: "\^[" (^[ is a real <Esc>)
|
|
|
1703 'B' excluded: "<Esc>" (5 characters)
|
|
|
1704 ('<' excluded in both cases)
|
|
|
1705 *cpo-c*
|
|
|
1706 c Searching continues at the end of any match at the
|
|
|
1707 cursor position, but not further than the start of the
|
|
|
1708 next line. When not present searching continues
|
|
|
1709 one character from the cursor position. With 'c'
|
|
|
1710 "abababababab" only gets three matches when repeating
|
|
|
1711 "/abab", without 'c' there are five matches.
|
|
|
1712 *cpo-C*
|
|
|
1713 C Do not concatenate sourced lines that start with a
|
|
|
1714 backslash. See |line-continuation|.
|
|
|
1715 *cpo-d*
|
|
|
1716 d Using "./" in the 'tags' option doesn't mean to use
|
|
|
1717 the tags file relative to the current file, but the
|
|
|
1718 tags file in the current directory.
|
|
|
1719 *cpo-D*
|
|
|
1720 D Can't use CTRL-K to enter a digraph after Normal mode
|
|
|
1721 commands with a character argument, like |r|, |f| and
|
|
|
1722 |t|.
|
|
|
1723 *cpo-e*
|
|
|
1724 e When executing a register with ":@r", always add a
|
|
|
1725 <CR> to the last line, also when the register is not
|
|
|
1726 linewise. If this flag is not present, the register
|
|
|
1727 is not linewise and the last line does not end in a
|
|
|
1728 <CR>, then the last line is put on the command-line
|
|
|
1729 and can be edited before hitting <CR>.
|
|
|
1730 *cpo-E*
|
|
|
1731 E It is an error when using "y", "d", "c", "g~", "gu" or
|
|
|
1732 "gU" on an Empty region. The operators only work when
|
|
|
1733 at least one character is to be operate on. Example:
|
|
|
1734 This makes "y0" fail in the first column.
|
|
|
1735 *cpo-f*
|
|
|
1736 f When included, a ":read" command with a file name
|
|
|
1737 argument will set the file name for the current buffer,
|
|
|
1738 if the current buffer doesn't have a file name yet.
|
|
|
1739 *cpo-F*
|
|
|
1740 F When included, a ":write" command with a file name
|
|
|
1741 argument will set the file name for the current
|
|
|
1742 buffer, if the current buffer doesn't have a file name
|
|
|
1743 yet.
|
|
|
1744 *cpo-g*
|
|
|
1745 g Goto line 1 when using ":edit" without argument.
|
|
164
|
1746 *cpo-H*
|
|
|
1747 H When using "I" on a line with only blanks, insert
|
|
|
1748 before the last blank. Without this flag insert after
|
|
|
1749 the last blank.
|
|
7
|
1750 *cpo-i*
|
|
|
1751 i When included, interrupting the reading of a file will
|
|
|
1752 leave it modified.
|
|
10
|
1753 *cpo-I*
|
|
|
1754 I When moving the cursor up or down just after inserting
|
|
|
1755 indent for 'autoindent', do not delete the indent.
|
|
7
|
1756 *cpo-j*
|
|
|
1757 j When joining lines, only add two spaces after a '.',
|
|
|
1758 not after '!' or '?'. Also see 'joinspaces'.
|
|
|
1759 *cpo-J*
|
|
|
1760 J A |sentence| has to be followed by two spaces after
|
|
233
|
1761 the '.', '!' or '?'. A <Tab> is not recognized as
|
|
7
|
1762 white space.
|
|
|
1763 *cpo-k*
|
|
|
1764 k Disable the recognition of raw key codes in
|
|
|
1765 mappings, abbreviations, and the "to" part of menu
|
|
|
1766 commands. For example, if <Key> sends ^[OA (where ^[
|
|
|
1767 is <Esc>), the command ":map X ^[OA" results in X
|
|
|
1768 being mapped to:
|
|
|
1769 'k' included: "^[OA" (3 characters)
|
|
|
1770 'k' excluded: "<Key>" (one key code)
|
|
|
1771 Also see the '<' flag below.
|
|
|
1772 *cpo-K*
|
|
|
1773 K Don't wait for a key code to complete when it is
|
|
|
1774 halfway a mapping. This breaks mapping <F1><F1> when
|
|
|
1775 only part of the second <F1> has been read. It
|
|
|
1776 enables cancelling the mapping by typing <F1><Esc>.
|
|
|
1777 *cpo-l*
|
|
|
1778 l Backslash in a [] range in a search pattern is taken
|
|
168
|
1779 literally, only "\]", "\^", "\-" and "\\" are special.
|
|
|
1780 See |/[]|
|
|
7
|
1781 'l' included: "/[ \t]" finds <Space>, '\' and 't'
|
|
|
1782 'l' excluded: "/[ \t]" finds <Space> and <Tab>
|
|
168
|
1783 Also see |cpo-\|.
|
|
7
|
1784 *cpo-L*
|
|
|
1785 L When the 'list' option is set, 'wrapmargin',
|
|
|
1786 'textwidth', 'softtabstop' and Virtual Replace mode
|
|
|
1787 (see |gR|) count a <Tab> as two characters, instead of
|
|
|
1788 the normal behavior of a <Tab>.
|
|
|
1789 *cpo-m*
|
|
|
1790 m When included, a showmatch will always wait half a
|
|
|
1791 second. When not included, a showmatch will wait half
|
|
|
1792 a second or until a character is typed. |'showmatch'|
|
|
|
1793 *cpo-M*
|
|
|
1794 M When excluded, "%" matching will take backslashes into
|
|
|
1795 account. Thus in "( \( )" and "\( ( \)" the outer
|
|
|
1796 parenthesis match. When included "%" ignores
|
|
|
1797 backslashes, which is Vi compatible.
|
|
|
1798 *cpo-n*
|
|
|
1799 n When included, the column used for 'number' will also
|
|
|
1800 be used for text of wrapped lines.
|
|
|
1801 *cpo-o*
|
|
|
1802 o Line offset to search command is not remembered for
|
|
|
1803 next search.
|
|
|
1804 *cpo-O*
|
|
|
1805 O Don't complain if a file is being overwritten, even
|
|
|
1806 when it didn't exist when editing it. This is a
|
|
|
1807 protection against a file unexpectedly created by
|
|
|
1808 someone else. Vi didn't complain about this.
|
|
|
1809 *cpo-p*
|
|
|
1810 p Vi compatible Lisp indenting. When not present, a
|
|
|
1811 slightly better algorithm is used.
|
|
164
|
1812 *cpo-q*
|
|
|
1813 q When joining multiple lines leave the cursor at the
|
|
|
1814 position where it would be when joining two lines.
|
|
7
|
1815 *cpo-r*
|
|
|
1816 r Redo ("." command) uses "/" to repeat a search
|
|
|
1817 command, instead of the actually used search string.
|
|
|
1818 *cpo-R*
|
|
|
1819 R Remove marks from filtered lines. Without this flag
|
|
|
1820 marks are kept like |:keepmarks| was used.
|
|
|
1821 *cpo-s*
|
|
|
1822 s Set buffer options when entering the buffer for the
|
|
|
1823 first time. This is like it is in Vim version 3.0.
|
|
10
|
1824 And it is the default. If not present the options are
|
|
7
|
1825 set when the buffer is created.
|
|
|
1826 *cpo-S*
|
|
|
1827 S Set buffer options always when entering a buffer
|
|
|
1828 (except 'readonly', 'fileformat', 'filetype' and
|
|
|
1829 'syntax'). This is the (most) Vi compatible setting.
|
|
|
1830 The options are set to the values in the current
|
|
|
1831 buffer. When you change an option and go to another
|
|
|
1832 buffer, the value is copied. Effectively makes the
|
|
|
1833 buffer options global to all buffers.
|
|
|
1834
|
|
|
1835 's' 'S' copy buffer options
|
|
|
1836 no no when buffer created
|
|
|
1837 yes no when buffer first entered (default)
|
|
|
1838 X yes each time when buffer entered (vi comp.)
|
|
|
1839 *cpo-t*
|
|
|
1840 t Search pattern for the tag command is remembered for
|
|
|
1841 "n" command. Otherwise Vim only puts the pattern in
|
|
|
1842 the history for search pattern, but doesn't change the
|
|
|
1843 last used search pattern.
|
|
|
1844 *cpo-u*
|
|
10
|
1845 u Undo is Vi compatible. See |undo-two-ways|.
|
|
7
|
1846 *cpo-v*
|
|
|
1847 v Backspaced characters remain visible on the screen in
|
|
|
1848 Insert mode. Without this flag the characters are
|
|
|
1849 erased from the screen right away. With this flag the
|
|
|
1850 screen newly typed text overwrites backspaced
|
|
|
1851 characters.
|
|
|
1852 *cpo-w*
|
|
|
1853 w When using "cw" on a blank character, only change one
|
|
|
1854 character and not all blanks until the start of the
|
|
|
1855 next word.
|
|
|
1856 *cpo-W*
|
|
|
1857 W Don't overwrite a readonly file. When omitted, ":w!"
|
|
|
1858 overwrites a readonly file, if possible.
|
|
|
1859 *cpo-x*
|
|
|
1860 x <Esc> on the command-line executes the command-line.
|
|
|
1861 The default in Vim is to abandon the command-line,
|
|
|
1862 because <Esc> normally aborts a command. |c_<Esc>|
|
|
164
|
1863 *cpo-X*
|
|
|
1864 X When using a count with "R" the replaced text is
|
|
|
1865 deleted only once. Also when repeating "R" with "."
|
|
|
1866 and a count.
|
|
7
|
1867 *cpo-y*
|
|
|
1868 y A yank command can be redone with ".".
|
|
164
|
1869 *cpo-Z*
|
|
|
1870 Z When using "w!" while the 'readonly' option is set,
|
|
|
1871 don't reset 'readonly'.
|
|
7
|
1872 *cpo-!*
|
|
|
1873 ! When redoing a filter command, use the last used
|
|
|
1874 external command, whatever it was. Otherwise the last
|
|
|
1875 used -filter- command is used.
|
|
|
1876 *cpo-$*
|
|
|
1877 $ When making a change to one line, don't redisplay the
|
|
|
1878 line, but put a '$' at the end of the changed text.
|
|
|
1879 The changed text will be overwritten when you type the
|
|
|
1880 new text. The line is redisplayed if you type any
|
|
|
1881 command that moves the cursor from the insertion
|
|
|
1882 point.
|
|
|
1883 *cpo-%*
|
|
|
1884 % Vi-compatible matching is done for the "%" command.
|
|
|
1885 Does not recognize "#if", "#endif", etc.
|
|
|
1886 Does not recognize "/*" and "*/".
|
|
|
1887 Parens inside single and double quotes are also
|
|
|
1888 counted, causing a string that contains a paren to
|
|
|
1889 disturb the matching. For example, in a line like
|
|
|
1890 "if (strcmp("foo(", s))" the first paren does not
|
|
|
1891 match the last one. When this flag is not included,
|
|
|
1892 parens inside single and double quotes are treated
|
|
|
1893 specially. When matching a paren outside of quotes,
|
|
|
1894 everything inside quotes is ignored. When matching a
|
|
|
1895 paren inside quotes, it will find the matching one (if
|
|
10
|
1896 there is one). This works very well for C programs.
|
|
36
|
1897 This flag is also used for other features, such as
|
|
|
1898 C-indenting.
|
|
161
|
1899 *cpo--*
|
|
|
1900 - When included, a vertical movement command fails when
|
|
|
1901 it would above the first line or below the last line.
|
|
|
1902 Without it the cursor moves to the first or last line,
|
|
|
1903 unless it already was in that line.
|
|
|
1904 Applies to the commands "-", "k", CTRL-P, "+", "j",
|
|
|
1905 CTRL-N and CTRL-J.
|
|
39
|
1906 *cpo-+*
|
|
|
1907 + When included, a ":write file" command will reset the
|
|
|
1908 'modified' flag of the buffer, even though the buffer
|
|
|
1909 itself may still be different from its file.
|
|
164

1910 *cpo-star*

|
|
|
1915 form in mappings, abbreviations, and the "to" part of

|
1916 menu commands. For example, the command
|
|
7
|
1917 ":map X <Tab>" results in X being mapped to:
|
|
|
1918 '<' included: "<Tab>" (5 characters)

2069 name. See |option-backslash| about using backslashes.

99

2070 This has nothing to do with the |Dictionary| variable type.

2071 Where to find a list of words?
|

2072 - On FreeBSD, there is the file "/usr/share/dict/words".

2074 - In "miscfiles" of the GNU collection.

2075 The use of |:set+=| and |:set-=| is preferred when adding or removing

2124 iwhite Ignore changes in amount of white space. Adds

|
|
2126 'diffexpr' is empty. Check the documentation
|
|
|
2127 of the "diff" command for what this does

2128 exactly. It should ignore adding trailing

2152 List of directory names for the swap file, separated with commas.
|
|
|
2153 - The swap file will be created in the first directory where this is
|
|
|
2154 possible.
|
|
|
2155 - Empty means that no swap file will be used (recovery is
|
|
|
2156 impossible!).
|
|
|
2157 - A directory "." means to put the swap file in the same directory as
|
|
|
2158 the edited file. On Unix, a dot is prepended to the file name, so
|
|
|
2159 it doesn't show in a directory listing. On MS-Windows the "hidden"
|
|
|
2160 attribute is set and a dot prepended if possible.
|
|
33
|
2161 - A directory starting with "./" (or ".\" for MS-DOS et al.) means to
|
|
7
|
2162 put the swap file relative to where the edited file is. The leading
|
|
|
2163 "." is replaced with the path name of the edited file.
|
|
|
2164 - For Unix and Win32, if a directory ends in two path separators, the
|
|
|
2165 swap file name will be built from the complete path to the file
|
|
233
|
2166 with all path separators substituted to percent '%' signs. This will
|
|
7
|
2167 ensure file name uniqueness in the preserve directory.
|
|
|
2168 - Spaces after the comma are ignored, other spaces are considered part
|
|
|
2169 of the directory name. To have a space at the start of a directory
|
|
|
2170 name, precede it with a backslash.
|
|
|
2171 - To include a comma in a directory name precede it with a backslash.
|
|
|
2172 - A directory name may end in an ':' or '/'.
|
|
|
2173 - Environment variables are expanded |:set_env|.
|
|
|
2174 - Careful with '\' characters, type one before a space, type two to
|
|
|
2175 get one in the option (see |option-backslash|), for example: >
|
|
|
2176 :set dir=c:\\tmp,\ dir\\,with\\,commas,\\\ dir\ with\ spaces
|
|
|
2177 < - For backwards compatibility with Vim version 3.0 a '>' at the start
|
|
|
2178 of the option is removed.
|
|
|
2179 Using "." first in the list is recommended. This means that editing
|
|
|
2180 the same file twice will result in a warning. Using "/tmp" on Unix is
|
|
|
2181 discouraged: When the system crashes you lose the swap file.
|
|
|
2182 "/var/tmp" is often not cleared when rebooting, thus is a better
|
|
|
2183 choice than "/tmp". But it can contain a lot of files, your swap
|
|
|
2184 files get lost in the crowd. That is why a "tmp" directory in your
|
|
|
2185 home directory is tried first.
|
|
|
2186 The use of |:set+=| and |:set-=| is preferred when adding or removing
|
|
|
2187 directories from the list. This avoids problems when a future version
|
|
|
2188 uses another default.
|
|

2189 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for

2228 feature}

|
2229 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
2230 Sets the character encoding used inside Vim. It applies to text in
|
|
|
2231 the buffers, registers, Strings in expressions, text stored in the
|
|
|
2232 viminfo file, etc. It sets the kind of characters which Vim can work
|
|
|
2233 with. See |encoding-names| for the possible values.
|
|
|
2234
|
|
|
2235 NOTE: Changing this option will not change the encoding of the
|
|
39
|
2236 existing text in Vim. It may cause non-ASCII text to become invalid.
|
|
7
|
2237 It should normally be kept at its default value, or set when Vim
|
|
|
2238 starts up. See |multibyte|.
|
|
|
2239
|
|
|
2240 NOTE: For GTK+ 2 it is highly recommended to set 'encoding' to
|
|
|
2241 "utf-8". Although care has been taken to allow different values of
|
|
|
2242 'encoding', "utf-8" is the natural choice for the environment and
|
|
|
2243 avoids unnecessary conversion overhead. "utf-8" has not been made
|
|
10
|
2244 the default to prevent different behavior of the GUI and terminal
|
|
7
|
2245 versions, and to avoid changing the encoding of newly created files
|
|
|
2246 without your knowledge (in case 'fileencodings' is empty).
|
|
|
2247
|
|
|
2248 The character encoding of files can be different from 'encoding'.
|
|
10
|
2249 This is specified with 'fileencoding'. The conversion is done with
|
|
7
|
2250 iconv() or as specified with 'charconvert'.
|
|
|
2251
|
|
|
2252 Normally 'encoding' will be equal to your current locale. This will
|
|
|
2253 be the default if Vim recognizes your environment settings. If
|
|
|
2254 'encoding' is not set to the current locale, 'termencoding' must be
|
|
|
2255 set to convert typed and displayed text. See |encoding-table|.
|
|
|
2256
|
|
|
2257 When you set this option, it fires the |EncodingChanged| autocommand
|
|
|
2258 event so that you can set up fonts if necessary.
|
|
|
2259
|
|
|
2260 When the option is set, the value is converted to lowercase. Thus
|
|
|
2261 you can set it with uppercase values too. Underscores are translated
|
|
|
2262 to '-' signs.
|
|
|
2263 When the encoding is recognized, it is changed to the standard name.
|
|
|
2264 For example "Latin-1" becomes "latin1", "ISO_88592" becomes
|
|
|
2265 "iso-8859-2" and "utf8" becomes "utf-8".
|
|
|
2266
|
|
|
2267 Note: "latin1" is also used when the encoding could not be detected.
|
|
|
2268 This only works when editing files in the same encoding! When the
|
|
|
2269 actual character set is not latin1, make sure 'fileencoding' and
|
|
|
2270 'fileencodings' are empty. When conversion is needed, switch to using
|
|
|
2271 utf-8.
|
|
|
2272
|
|
|
2273 When "unicode", "ucs-2" or "ucs-4" is used, Vim internally uses utf-8.
|
|
|
2274 You don't notice this while editing, but it does matter for the
|
|
|
2275 |viminfo-file|. And Vim expects the terminal to use utf-8 too. Thus
|
|
|
2276 setting 'encoding' to one of these values instead of utf-8 only has
|
|
|
2277 effect for encoding used for files when 'fileencoding' is empty.
|
|
|
2278
|
|
|
2279 When 'encoding' is set to a Unicode encoding, and 'fileencodings' was
|
|
|
2280 not set yet, the default for 'fileencodings' is changed.

|
2286 When writing a file and this option is off and the 'binary' option
|
|
10
|
2287 is on, no <EOL> will be written for the last line in the file. This
|
|
7
|
2288 option is automatically set when starting to edit a new file, unless
|
|
|
2289 the file does not have an <EOL> for the last line in the file, in
|
|
|
2290 which case it is reset. Normally you don't have to set or reset this
|
|
|
2291 option. When 'binary' is off the value is not used when writing the
|
|
|
2292 file. When 'binary' is on it is used to remember the presence of a
|
|
|
2293 <EOL> for the last line in the file, so that when you write the file
|
|
|
2294 the situation from the original file can be kept. But you can change
|
|

2295 it if you want to.

|
|
33
|
2302 splitting or closing a window. This also happens the moment the
|
|
|
2303 option is switched on. When off, splitting a window will reduce the
|
|
|
2304 size of the current window and leave the other windows the same. When
|
|

2305 closing a window the extra lines are given to the window next to it
|

2306 (depending on 'splitbelow' and 'splitright').
|
|
7

2307 When mixing vertically and horizontally split windows, a minimal size
|

2308 is computed and some windows may be larger if there is room. The
|

2309 'eadirection' option tells in which direction the size is affected.

|
2417 When 'fileencoding' is empty, the same value as 'encoding' will be
|

2418 used (no conversion when reading or writing a file).
|
|
|
2419 WARNING: Conversion can cause loss of information! When
|
|
|
2420 'encoding' is "utf-8" conversion is most likely done in a way
|
|
|
2421 that the reverse conversion results in the same text. When
|
|
|
2422 'encoding' is not "utf-8" some characters may be lost!
|
|
|
2423 See 'encoding' for the possible values. Additionally, values may be
|
|
|
2424 specified that can be handled by the converter, see
|
|
|
2425 |mbyte-conversion|.
|
|
|
2426 When reading a file 'fileencoding' will be set from 'fileencodings'.
|
|
|
2427 To read a file in a certain encoding it won't work by setting
|
|
|
2428 'fileencoding', use the |++enc| argument.
|
|
|
2429 Prepending "8bit-" and "2byte-" has no meaning here, they are ignored.
|
|
|
2430 When the option is set, the value is converted to lowercase. Thus
|
|
|
2431 you can set it with uppercase values too. '_' characters are
|
|
|
2432 replaced with '-'. If a name is recognized from the list for
|
|
|
2433 'encoding', it is replaced by the standard name. For example
|
|
|
2434 "ISO8859-2" becomes "iso-8859-2".
|
|
|
2435 When this option is set, after starting to edit a file, the 'modified'
|
|
|
2436 option is set, because the file would be different when written.
|
|
|
2437 If you do this in a modeline, you might want to set 'nomodified' to
|
|
|
2438 avoid this.
|

2439 This option can not be changed when 'modifiable' is off.

2442 NOTE: Before version 6.0 this option specified the encoding for the

|
|
|
2454 This is a list of character encodings considered when starting to edit
|
|
|
2455 an existing file. When a file is read, Vim tries to use the first
|
|
|
2456 mentioned character encoding. If an error is detected, the next one
|
|
|
2457 in the list is tried. When an encoding is found that works,
|
|
10
|
2458 'fileencoding' is set to it. If all fail, 'fileencoding' is set to
|
|
7
|
2459 an empty string, which means the value of 'encoding' is used.
|
|
|
2460 WARNING: Conversion can cause loss of information! When
|
|
|
2461 'encoding' is "utf-8" (or one of the other Unicode variants)
|
|
|
2462 conversion is most likely done in a way that the reverse
|
|
|
2463 conversion results in the same text. When 'encoding' is not
|
|
|
2464 "utf-8" special characters may be lost!
|
|
|
2465 For an empty file or a file with only ASCII characters most encodings
|
|
|
2466 will work and the first entry of 'fileencodings' will be used (except
|
|
|
2467 "ucs-bom", which requires the BOM to be present). If you prefer
|
|
|
2468 another encoding use an BufReadPost autocommand event to test if your
|
|
|
2469 preferred encoding is to be used. Example: >
|
|
|
2470 au BufReadPost * if search('\S', 'w') == 0 |
|
|
|
2471 \ set fenc=iso-2022-jp | endif
|
|
|
2472 < This sets 'fileencoding' to "iso-2022-jp" if the file does not contain
|
|
|
2473 non-blank characters.
|
|
|
2474 Note that 'fileencodings' is not used for an new file, 'fileencoding'
|
|
|
2475 is always empty then. This means that a non-existing file may get a
|
|
|
2476 different encoding than an empty file.
|
|
|
2477 The special value "ucs-bom" can be used to check for a Unicode BOM
|
|
|
2478 (Byte Order Mark) at the start of the file. It must not be preceded
|
|
|
2479 by "utf-8" or another Unicode encoding for this to work properly.
|
|
|
2480 An entry for an 8-bit encoding (e.g., "latin1") should be the last,
|
|
|
2481 because Vim cannot detect an error, thus the encoding is always
|
|
|
2482 accepted.
|
|
39
|
2483 The special value "default" can be used for the encoding from the
|
|
|
2484 environment. This is the default value for 'encoding'. It is useful
|
|
|
2485 when 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" and your environment uses a
|
|
|
2486 non-latin1 encoding, such as Russian.

2493 See 'fileencoding' for the possible values.

2497 *'fileformat'* *'ff'*

2500 Macintosh default: "mac")
|
|
|
2501 local to buffer
|
|
|
2502 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
2503 This gives the <EOL> of the current buffer, which is used for
|
|
|
2504 reading/writing the buffer from/to a file:
|
|
|
2505 dos <CR> <NL>
|
|
|
2506 unix <NL>
|
|
|
2507 mac <CR>
|
|
|
2508 When "dos" is used, CTRL-Z at the end of a file is ignored.
|
|
|
2509 See |file-formats| and |file-read|.
|
|
|
2510 For the character encoding of the file see 'fileencoding'.
|
|
|
2511 When 'binary' is set, the value of 'fileformat' is ignored, file I/O
|
|
|
2512 works like it was set to "unix'.
|
|
|
2513 This option is set automatically when starting to edit a file and
|
|
|
2514 'fileformats' is not empty and 'binary' is off.
|
|
|
2515 When this option is set, after starting to edit a file, the 'modified'
|
|
|
2516 option is set, because the file would be different when written.
|
|
|
2517 This option can not be changed when 'modifiable' is off.
|
|
|
2518 For backwards compatibility: When this option is set to "dos",
|
|
|
2519 'textmode' is set, otherwise 'textmode' is reset.
|

2520
|
|

2521 *'fileformats'* *'ffs'*
|

2522 'fileformats' 'ffs' string (default:

2523 Vim+Vi MS-DOS, MS-Windows OS/2: "dos,unix",
|

|
2524 Vim Unix: "unix,dos",

2528 global

2529 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
2530 This gives the end-of-line (<EOL>) formats that will be tried when
|
|
|
2531 starting to edit a new buffer and when reading a file into an existing
|
|
|
2532 buffer:
|
|
|
2533 - When empty, the format defined with 'fileformat' will be used
|
|
|
2534 always. It is not set automatically.
|
|
|
2535 - When set to one name, that format will be used whenever a new buffer
|
|
10
|
2536 is opened. 'fileformat' is set accordingly for that buffer. The
|
|
7
|
2537 'fileformats' name will be used when a file is read into an existing
|
|
|
2538 buffer, no matter what 'fileformat' for that buffer is set to.
|
|
|
2539 - When more than one name is present, separated by commas, automatic
|
|
|
2540 <EOL> detection will be done when reading a file. When starting to
|
|
|
2541 edit a file, a check is done for the <EOL>:
|
|
|
2542 1. If all lines end in <CR><NL>, and 'fileformats' includes "dos",
|
|
|
2543 'fileformat' is set to "dos".
|
|
|
2544 2. If a <NL> is found and 'fileformats' includes "unix", 'fileformat'
|
|
10
|
2545 is set to "unix". Note that when a <NL> is found without a
|
|
7
|
2546 preceding <CR>, "unix" is preferred over "dos".
|
|
|
2547 3. If 'fileformats' includes "mac", 'fileformat' is set to "mac".
|
|
|
2548 This means that "mac" is only chosen when "unix" is not present,
|
|
|
2549 or when no <NL> is found in the file, and when "dos" is not
|
|
|
2550 present, or no <CR><NL> is present in the file.
|
|
|
2551 Also if "unix" was first chosen, but the first <CR> is before
|
|
|
2552 the first <NL> and there appears to be more <CR>'s than <NL>'s in
|
|
|
2553 the file, then 'fileformat' is set to "mac".
|
|
|
2554 4. If 'fileformat' is still not set, the first name from
|
|
|
2555 'fileformats' is used.
|
|
|
2556 When reading a file into an existing buffer, the same is done, but
|
|
|
2557 this happens like 'fileformat' has been set appropriately for that
|
|
|
2558 file only, the option is not changed.
|
|
|
2559 When 'binary' is set, the value of 'fileformats' is not used.
|
|
|
2560
|
|
|
2561 For systems with a Dos-like <EOL> (<CR><NL>), when reading files that
|
|
|
2562 are ":source"ed and for vimrc files, automatic <EOL> detection may be
|
|
|
2563 done:
|
|
|
2564 - When 'fileformats' is empty, there is no automatic detection. Dos
|
|
|
2565 format will be used.
|
|
|
2566 - When 'fileformats' is set to one or more names, automatic detection
|
|
|
2567 is done. This is based on the first <NL> in the file: If there is a
|
|
|
2568 <CR> in front of it, Dos format is used, otherwise Unix format is
|
|
|
2569 used.
|
|
|
2570 Also see |file-formats|.
|
|
|
2571 For backwards compatibility: When this option is set to an empty
|
|
|
2572 string or one format (no comma is included), 'textauto' is reset,
|
|
|
2573 otherwise 'textauto' is set.
|
|
|
2574 NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is
|
|
|
2575 set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset.
|
|
|
2576
|
|

2577 *'filetype'* *'ft'*

|
|
2581 {not available when compiled without the |+autocmd|
|
|
|
2582 feature}
|
|
|
2583 When this option is set, the FileType autocommand event is triggered.
|
|
|
2584 All autocommands that match with the value of this option will be
|
|
|
2585 executed. Thus the value of 'filetype' is used in place of the file
|
|
|
2586 name.
|
|
|
2587 Otherwise this option does not always reflect the current file type.
|
|
|
2588 This option is normally set when the file type is detected. To enable
|
|
|
2589 this use the ":filetype on" command. |:filetype|
|
|
|
2590 Setting this option to a different value is most useful in a modeline,
|
|
|
2591 for a file for which the file type is not automatically recognized.
|
|
|
2592 Example, for in an IDL file: >
|
|
|
2593 /* vim: set filetype=idl : */
|
|
|
2594 < |FileType| |filetypes|
|
|
|
2595 Do not confuse this option with 'osfiletype', which is for the file
|
|
|
2596 type that is actually stored with the file.
|
|
|
2597 This option is not copied to another buffer, independent of the 's' or
|
|
|
2598 'S' flag in 'cpoptions'.
|
|
36
|
2599 Only normal file name characters can be used, "/\*?[|<>" are illegal.

2617 Any one that is omitted will fall back to the default. For "stl" and

2619 otherwise.

2720 some folds closed (one) or no folds closed (99).
|
|
|
2721 This is done before reading any modeline, thus a setting in a modeline

|
|
|
2800 When a movement command is used for an operator (e.g., "dl" or "y%")
|
|
|
2801 this option is not used. This means the operator will include the
|
|
|
2802 whole closed fold.
|
|
|
2803 Note that vertical movements are not here, because it would make it
|
|
|
2804 very difficult to move onto a closed fold.
|
|
|
2805 In insert mode the folds containing the cursor will always be open
|
|
|
2806 when text is inserted.
|
|
|
2807 To close folds you can re-apply 'foldlevel' with the |zx| command or
|
|
|
2808 set the 'foldclose' option to "all".

|
|
2819 *'formatoptions'* *'fo'*
|
|
|
2820 'formatoptions' 'fo' string (Vim default: "tcq", Vi default: "vt")
|
|
|
2821 local to buffer
|
|
|
2822 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
2823 This is a sequence of letters which describes how automatic
|
|
|
2824 formatting is to be done. See |fo-table|. When the 'paste' option is
|
|
|
2825 on, no formatting is done (like 'formatoptions' is empty). Commas can
|
|
|
2826 be inserted for readability.
|
|
|
2827 To avoid problems with flags that are added in the future, use the
|
|
|
2828 "+=" and "-=" feature of ":set" |add-option-flags|.
|
|
|
2829 NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is
|
|
|
2830 set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset.
|

|
|
|
2834 local to buffer
|
|
|
2835 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
2836 A pattern that is used to recognize a list header. This is used for
|
|
|
2837 the "n" flag in 'formatoptions'.
|
|
|
2838 The pattern must match exactly the text that will be the indent for
|
|
140
|
2839 the line below it. You can use |/\ze| to mark the end of the match
|
|
41
|
2840 while still checking more characters. There must be a character
|
|
|
2841 following the pattern, when it matches the whole line it is handled
|
|
|
2842 like there is no match.
|
|
|
2843 The default recognizes a number, followed by an optional punctuation
|
|
|
2844 character and white space.

2849 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
2850 The name of an external program that will be used to format the lines
|
|
|
2851 selected with the "gq" command. The program must take the input on
|
|
|
2852 stdin and produce the output on stdout. The Unix program "fmt" is
|
|
|
2853 such a program. If this option is an empty string, the internal
|
|
|
2854 format function will be used |C-indenting|. Environment variables are
|
|
|
2855 expanded |:set_env|. See |option-backslash| about including spaces
|
|
|
2856 and backslashes.
|
|
|
2857 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for
|
|
|
2858 security reasons.

2860 *'fsync'* *'fs'*
|
|
|
2861 'fsync' 'fs' boolean (default on)
|
|
|
2862 global
|
|
|
2863 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
2864 When on, the library function fsync() will be called after writing a
|
|
|
2865 file. This will flush a file to disk, ensuring that it is safely
|
|
|
2866 written even on filesystems which do metadata-only journaling. This
|
|
|
2867 will force the harddrive to spin up on Linux systems running in laptop
|
|
|
2868 mode, so it may be undesirable in some situations. Be warned that
|
|
|
2869 turning this off increases the chances of data loss after a crash. On
|
|
|
2870 systems without an fsync() implementation, this variable is always
|
|
|
2871 off.
|
|
|
2872 Also see 'swapsync' for controlling fsync() on swap files.

|
|
|
2876 global
|
|
|
2877 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
2878 When on, the ":substitute" flag 'g' is default on. This means that
|
|
|
2879 all matches in a line are substituted instead of one. When a 'g' flag
|
|
|
2880 is given to a ":substitute" command, this will toggle the substitution
|
|
|
2881 of all or one match. See |complex-change|.

2905 Program to use for the |:grep| command. This option may contain '%'
|
|
7
|
2906 and '#' characters, which are expanded like when used in a command-
|
|
|
2907 line. The placeholder "$*" is allowed to specify where the arguments
|
|
|
2908 will be included. Environment variables are expanded |:set_env|. See
|
|
|
2909 |option-backslash| about including spaces and backslashes.
|
|
|
2910 When your "grep" accepts the "-H" argument, use this to make ":grep"
|
|
|
2911 also work well with a single file: >
|
|
|
2912 :set grepprg=grep\ -nH
|
|
161
|
2913 < Special value: When 'grepprg' is set to "internal" the |:grep| command
|
|
|
2914 works like |:vimgrep| and |:grepadd| like |:vimgrepadd|.
|
|
41
|
2915 See also the section |:make_makeprg|, since most of the comments there
|
|
7
|
2916 apply equally to 'grepprg'.
|
|
|
2917 For Win32, the default is "findstr /n" if "findstr.exe" can be found,
|
|
|
2918 otherwise it's "grep -n".
|
|
|
2919 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for
|

|
|
|
2937 This option tells Vim what the cursor should look like in different
|
|
10
|
2938 modes. It fully works in the GUI. In an MSDOS or Win32 console, only
|
|
7
|
2939 the height of the cursor can be changed. This can be done by
|
|
|
2940 specifying a block cursor, or a percentage for a vertical or
|
|
|
2941 horizontal cursor.
|
|
36
|
2942 For a console the 't_SI' and 't_EI' escape sequences are used.
|
|
7
|
2943
|
|
10
|
2944 The option is a comma separated list of parts. Each part consist of a
|
|
7
|
2945 mode-list and an argument-list:
|
|
|
2946 mode-list:argument-list,mode-list:argument-list,..
|
|
|
2947 The mode-list is a dash separated list of these modes:
|
|
|
2948 n Normal mode
|
|
|
2949 v Visual mode
|
|
|
2950 ve Visual mode with 'selection' "exclusive" (same as 'v',
|
|
|
2951 if not specified)
|
|
|
2952 o Operator-pending mode
|
|
|
2953 i Insert mode

|
|
2958 sm showmatch in Insert mode
|
|
|
2959 a all modes
|
|
|
2960 The argument-list is a dash separated list of these arguments:
|
|
|
2961 hor{N} horizontal bar, {N} percent of the character height
|
|
|
2962 ver{N} vertical bar, {N} percent of the character width
|
|
|
2963 block block cursor, fills the whole character
|
|
|
2964 [only one of the above three should be present]
|
|
|
2965 blinkwait{N} *cursor-blinking*
|
|
|
2966 blinkon{N}
|
|
|
2967 blinkoff{N}
|
|
|
2968 blink times for cursor: blinkwait is the delay before
|
|
|
2969 the cursor starts blinking, blinkon is the time that
|
|
|
2970 the cursor is shown and blinkoff is the time that the
|
|
|
2971 cursor is not shown. The times are in msec. When one
|
|
|
2972 of the numbers is zero, there is no blinking. The
|
|
|
2973 default is: "blinkwait700-blinkon400-blinkoff250".
|
|
|
2974 These numbers are used for a missing entry. This
|
|
|
2975 means that blinking is enabled by default. To switch
|
|
|
2976 blinking off you can use "blinkon0". The cursor only
|
|
|
2977 blinks when Vim is waiting for input, not while
|
|
|
2978 executing a command.
|
|
|
2979 To make the cursor blink in an xterm, see
|
|
|
2980 |xterm-blink|.
|
|
|
2981 {group-name}
|
|
|
2982 a highlight group name, that sets the color and font
|
|
|
2983 for the cursor
|
|
|
2984 {group-name}/{group-name}
|
|
|
2985 Two highlight group names, the first is used when
|
|
|
2986 no language mappings are used, the other when they
|
|
|
2987 are. |language-mapping|
|
|
|
2988
|
|
|
2989 Examples of parts:
|
|
|
2990 n-c-v:block-nCursor in Normal, Command-line and Visual mode, use a
|
|
|
2991 block cursor with colors from the "nCursor"
|
|
|
2992 highlight group
|
|
|
2993 i-ci:ver30-iCursor-blinkwait300-blinkon200-blinkoff150
|
|
|
2994 In Insert and Command-line Insert mode, use a
|
|
|
2995 30% vertical bar cursor with colors from the
|
|
|
2996 "iCursor" highlight group. Blink a bit
|
|
|
2997 faster.
|
|
|
2998
|
|
|
2999 The 'a' mode is different. It will set the given argument-list for
|
|
|
3000 all modes. It does not reset anything to defaults. This can be used
|
|
|
3001 to do a common setting for all modes. For example, to switch off
|
|
|
3002 blinking: "a:blinkon0"
|
|
|
3003
|
|
|
3004 Examples of cursor highlighting: >
|
|
|
3005 :highlight Cursor gui=reverse guifg=NONE guibg=NONE

|
|
3006 :highlight Cursor gui=NONE guifg=bg guibg=fg

3008 *'guifont'* *'gfn'*
|
|
|
3009 *E235* *E596* *E610* *E611*
|
|
|
3010 'guifont' 'gfn' string (default "")
|
|
|
3011 global
|
|
|
3012 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
3013 {only available when compiled with GUI enabled}
|
|
|
3014 This is a list of fonts which will be used for the GUI version of Vim.
|
|
|
3015 In its simplest form the value is just one font name. When
|
|
|
3016 the font cannot be found you will get an error message. To try other
|
|
|
3017 font names a list can be specified, font names separated with commas.
|
|
|
3018 The first valid font is used.
|
|
8
|
3019
|
|
170
|
3020 On systems where 'guifontset' is supported (X11) and 'guifontset' is
|
|
|
3021 not empty, then 'guifont' is not used.
|
|
8
|
3022
|
|
7
|
3023 Spaces after a comma are ignored. To include a comma in a font name
|
|
|
3024 precede it with a backslash. Setting an option requires an extra
|
|
|
3025 backslash before a space and a backslash. See also
|
|
|
3026 |option-backslash|. For example: >
|
|
|
3027 :set guifont=Screen15,\ 7x13,font\\,with\\,commas
|
|
8
|
3028 < will make Vim try to use the font "Screen15" first, and if it fails it
|
|
7
|
3029 will try to use "7x13" and then "font,with,commas" instead.
|
|
8
|
3030
|
|
|
3031 If none of the fonts can be loaded, Vim will keep the current setting.
|
|
|
3032 If an empty font list is given, Vim will try using other resource
|
|
|
3033 settings (for X, it will use the Vim.font resource), and finally it
|
|
|
3034 will try some builtin default which should always be there ("7x13" in
|
|
|
3035 the case of X). The font names given should be "normal" fonts. Vim
|
|
|
3036 will try to find the related bold and italic fonts.
|
|
|
3037
|
|
170
|
3038 For Win32, GTK, Mac OS and Photon: >
|
|
8
|
3039 :set guifont=*
|
|
|
3040 < will bring up a font requester, where you can pick the font you want.
|
|
|
3041
|
|
|
3042 The font name depends on the GUI used. See |setting-guifont| for a
|
|
|
3043 way to set 'guifont' for various systems.
|
|
|
3044
|
|
7
|
3045 For the GTK+ 2 GUI the font name looks like this: >
|
|
|
3046 :set guifont=Andale\ Mono\ 11
|
|
|
3047 < That's all. XLFDs are no longer accepted.
|
|
170
|
3048
|
|
|
3049 For Mac OSX you can use something like this: >
|
|
|
3050 :set guifont=Monaco:h10
|
|
|
3051 < *E236*
|
|
7
|
3052 Note that the fonts must be mono-spaced (all characters have the same
|
|
8
|
3053 width). An exception is GTK 2: all fonts are accepted, but
|
|
|
3054 mono-spaced fonts look best.
|
|
|
3055
|
|
7
|
3056 To preview a font on X11, you might be able to use the "xfontsel"
|
|
|
3057 program. The "xlsfonts" program gives a list of all available fonts.
|
|
8
|
3058
|
|
7
|
3059 For the Win32 GUI *E244* *E245*
|
|
|
3060 - takes these options in the font name:
|
|
|
3061 hXX - height is XX (points, can be floating-point)
|
|
|
3062 wXX - width is XX (points, can be floating-point)
|
|
|
3063 b - bold
|
|
|
3064 i - italic
|
|
|
3065 u - underline
|
|
|
3066 s - strikeout
|
|
233
|
3067 cXX - character set XX. Valid charsets are: ANSI, ARABIC,
|
|
7
|
3068 BALTIC, CHINESEBIG5, DEFAULT, EASTEUROPE, GB2312, GREEK,
|
|
|
3069 HANGEUL, HEBREW, JOHAB, MAC, OEM, RUSSIAN, SHIFTJIS,
|
|
|
3070 SYMBOL, THAI, TURKISH, VIETNAMESE ANSI and BALTIC.
|
|
22
|
3071 Normally you would use "cDEFAULT".
|
|
7
|
3072
|
|
|
3073 Use a ':' to separate the options.
|
|
|
3074 - A '_' can be used in the place of a space, so you don't need to use
|
|
|
3075 backslashes to escape the spaces.
|
|
|
3076 - Examples: >
|
|
|
3077 :set guifont=courier_new:h12:w5:b:cRUSSIAN

3092 Setting this option also means that all font names will be handled as

3093 a fontset name. Also the ones used for the "font" argument of the
|
|
|
3094 |:highlight| command.
|
|
|
3095 The fonts must match with the current locale. If fonts for the

3098 Note the difference between 'guifont' and 'guifontset': In 'guifont'
|
|
|
3099 the comma-separated names are alternative names, one of which will be
|
|
|
3100 used. In 'guifontset' the whole string is one fontset name,
|
|
|
3101 including the commas. It is not possible to specify alternative
|
|
|
3102 fontset names.
|
|
|
3103 This example works on many X11 systems: >
|
|
|
3104 :set guifontset=-*-*-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-c-*-*-*
|
|
|
3105 <
|
|
|
3106 *'guifontwide'* *'gfw'* *E231* *E533* *E534*
|
|
|
3107 'guifontwide' 'gfw' string (default "")
|
|
|
3108 global
|
|
|
3109 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
3110 {only available when compiled with GUI enabled}
|
|
|
3111 When not empty, specifies a comma-separated list of fonts to be used
|
|
|
3112 for double-width characters. The first font that can be loaded is
|
|
|
3113 used.
|
|
|
3114 Note: The size of these fonts must be exactly twice as wide as the one
|
|
|
3115 specified with 'guifont' and the same height.
|
|
|
3116
|
|
|
3117 All GUI versions but GTK+ 2:
|
|
|
3118
|
|
|
3119 'guifontwide' is only used when 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" and
|
|
|
3120 'guifontset' is empty or invalid.
|
|
|
3121 When 'guifont' is set and a valid font is found in it and
|
|
|
3122 'guifontwide' is empty Vim will attempt to find a matching
|
|
|
3123 double-width font and set 'guifontwide' to it.
|
|
|
3124
|
|
|
3125 GTK+ 2 GUI only: *guifontwide_gtk2*
|
|
|
3126
|
|
|
3127 If set and valid, 'guifontwide' is always used for double width
|
|
|
3128 characters, even if 'encoding' is not set to "utf-8".
|
|
|
3129 Vim does not attempt to find an appropriate value for 'guifontwide'
|
|
10
|
3130 automatically. If 'guifontwide' is empty Pango/Xft will choose the
|
|
7
|
3131 font for characters not available in 'guifont'. Thus you do not need
|
|
|
3132 to set 'guifontwide' at all unless you want to override the choice
|
|
|
3133 made by Pango/Xft.
|
|
|
3134
|
|
|
3135 *'guiheadroom'* *'ghr'*

3139 The number of pixels subtracted from the screen height when fitting
|
|
|
3140 the GUI window on the screen. Set this before the GUI is started,
|
|
|
3141 e.g., in your |gvimrc| file. When zero, the whole screen height will
|
|
10
|
3142 be used by the window. When positive, the specified number of pixel
|
|
7
|
3143 lines will be left for window decorations and other items on the
|
|
|
3144 screen. Set it to a negative value to allow windows taller than the
|
|
|
3145 screen.

3147 *'guioptions'* *'go'*

|
3153 This option only has an effect in the GUI version of Vim. It is a
|
|
7
|
3154 sequence of letters which describes what components and options of the
|
|
|
3155 GUI should be used.
|
|
|
3156 To avoid problems with flags that are added in the future, use the
|
|
|
3157 "+=" and "-=" feature of ":set" |add-option-flags|.
|
|
|
3158
|
|
|
3159 Valid letters are as follows:
|
|
|
3160 *guioptions_a*
|
|
|
3161 'a' Autoselect: If present, then whenever VISUAL mode is started,
|
|
|
3162 or the Visual area extended, Vim tries to become the owner of
|
|
|
3163 the windowing system's global selection. This means that the
|
|
|
3164 Visually highlighted text is available for pasting into other
|
|
|
3165 applications as well as into Vim itself. When the Visual mode
|
|
|
3166 ends, possibly due to an operation on the text, or when an
|
|
|
3167 application wants to paste the selection, the highlighted text
|
|
|
3168 is automatically yanked into the "* selection register.
|
|
|
3169 Thus the selection is still available for pasting into other
|
|
|
3170 applications after the VISUAL mode has ended.
|
|
|
3171 If not present, then Vim won't become the owner of the
|
|
|
3172 windowing system's global selection unless explicitly told to
|
|
|
3173 by a yank or delete operation for the "* register.
|
|
|
3174 The same applies to the modeless selection.
|
|
|
3175
|
|
10
|
3176 'A' Autoselect for the modeless selection. Like 'a', but only
|
|
7
|
3177 applies to the modeless selection.
|
|
|
3178
|
|
|
3179 'guioptions' autoselect Visual autoselect modeless ~
|
|
|
3180 "" - -

3182 "A" - yes
|
|
|
3183 "aA" yes yes
|
|
|
3184
|
|
|
3185 'c' Use console dialogs instead of popup dialogs for simple
|
|
|
3186 choices.
|
|
|
3187
|
|
|
3188 'f' Foreground: Don't use fork() to detach the GUI from the shell
|
|
|
3189 where it was started. Use this for programs that wait for the
|
|
|
3190 editor to finish (e.g., an e-mail program). Alternatively you
|
|
|
3191 can use "gvim -f" or ":gui -f" to start the GUI in the
|
|
|
3192 foreground. |gui-fork|
|
|
|
3193 Note: Set this option in the vimrc file. The forking may have
|
|
|
3194 happened already when the gvimrc file is read.
|
|
|
3195
|
|
|
3196 'i' Use a Vim icon. For GTK with KDE it is used in the left-upper
|
|
|
3197 corner of the window. It's black&white on non-GTK, because of
|
|
|
3198 limitations of X11. For a color icon, see |X11-icon|.
|
|
|
3199
|
|
|
3200 'm' Menu bar is present.
|
|
10
|
3201 'M' The system menu "$VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim" is not sourced. Note
|
|
7
|
3202 that this flag must be added in the .vimrc file, before
|
|
|
3203 switching on syntax or filetype recognition (when the .gvimrc
|
|
|
3204 file is sourced the system menu has already been loaded; the
|
|
|
3205 ":syntax on" and ":filetype on" commands load the menu too).
|
|
|
3206 'g' Grey menu items: Make menu items that are not active grey. If
|
|
|
3207 'g' is not included inactive menu items are not shown at all.
|
|
|
3208 Exception: Athena will always use grey menu items.
|
|
|
3209
|
|
|
3210 't' Include tearoff menu items. Currently only works for Win32,
|
|
|
3211 GTK+, and Motif 1.2 GUI.
|
|
236
|
3212 'T' Include Toolbar. Currently only in Win32, GTK+, Motif, Photon
|
|
|
3213 and Athena GUIs.

|
3214
|
|
|
3215 'r' Right-hand scrollbar is always present.
|
|

3216 'R' Right-hand scrollbar is present when there is a vertically
|
|
|
3217 split window.
|
|
|
3218 'l' Left-hand scrollbar is always present.
|
|
|
3219 'L' Left-hand scrollbar is present when there is a vertically
|
|
|
3220 split window.
|
|
|
3221 'b' Bottom (horizontal) scrollbar is present. Its size depends on
|
|
|
3222 the longest visible line, or on the cursor line if the 'h'
|
|
|
3223 flag is included. |gui-horiz-scroll|
|
|
|
3224 'h' Limit horizontal scrollbar size to the length of the cursor
|
|
|
3225 line. Reduces computations. |gui-horiz-scroll|
|
|
|
3226
|
|
|
3227 And yes, you may even have scrollbars on the left AND the right if
|
|
|
3228 you really want to :-). See |gui-scrollbars| for more information.
|
|
|
3229
|
|
|
3230 'v' Use a vertical button layout for dialogs. When not included,
|
|
|
3231 a horizontal layout is preferred, but when it doesn't fit a
|
|
|
3232 vertical layout is used anyway.
|
|
|
3233 'p' Use Pointer callbacks for X11 GUI. This is required for some
|
|
|
3234 window managers. If the cursor is not blinking or hollow at
|
|
|
3235 the right moment, try adding this flag. This must be done
|
|
|
3236 before starting the GUI. Set it in your gvimrc. Adding or
|
|
|
3237 removing it after the GUI has started has no effect.
|
|
10
|
3238 'F' Add a footer. Only for Motif. See |gui-footer|.

3256 Environment variables are expanded |:set_env|. For example:
|

3280 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
3281 Comma separated list of languages. Vim will use the first language
|
|
|
3282 for which the desired help can be found. The English help will always
|
|
|
3283 be used as a last resort. You can add "en" to prefer English over
|
|
|
3284 another language, but that will only find tags that exist in that
|
|
|
3285 language and not in the English help.
|
|
|
3286 Example: >
|
|
|
3287 :set helplang=de,it
|
|
|
3288 < This will first search German, then Italian and finally English help
|
|
|
3289 files.
|
|
|
3290 When using |CTRL-]| and ":help!" in a non-English help file Vim will
|
|
|
3291 try to find the tag in the current language before using this option.
|

3296 global

3298 When off a buffer is unloaded when it is |abandon|ed. When on a
|
|
|
3299 buffer becomes hidden when it is |abandon|ed. If the buffer is still
|
|
|
3300 displayed in another window, it does not become hidden, of course.
|
|
|
3301 The commands that move through the buffer list sometimes make a buffer
|
|
|
3302 hidden although the 'hidden' option is off: When the buffer is
|
|
|
3303 modified, 'autowrite' is off or writing is not possible, and the '!'
|
|
10
|
3304 flag was used. See also |windows.txt|.
|
|
12
|
3305 To only make one buffer hidden use the 'bufhidden' option.
|
|
7
|
3306 This option is set for one command with ":hide {command}" |:hide|.
|
|
|
3307 WARNING: It's easy to forget that you have changes in hidden buffers.
|
|
|
3308 Think twice when using ":q!" or ":qa!".

3381 When there is a previous search pattern, highlight all its matches.
|
|
|
3382 The type of highlighting used can be set with the 'l' occasion in the

3389 highlighting comes back.
|
|
|
3390 When the search pattern can match an end-of-line, Vim will try to

3391 highlight all of the matched text. However, this depends on where the

3393 line below a closed fold. A match in a previous line which is not

3609 original position when no match is found and when pressing <Esc>. You
|

3610 still need to finish the search command with <Enter> to move the

|
|
|
3622 Expression which is evaluated to obtain the proper indent for a line.
|
|
|
3623 It is used when a new line is created, for the |=| operator and
|
|
|
3624 in Insert mode as specified with the 'indentkeys' option.
|
|
|
3625 When this option is not empty, it overrules the 'cindent' and
|
|
|
3626 'smartindent' indenting.
|
|
|
3627 When 'paste' is set this option is not used for indenting.
|
|
|
3628 The expression is evaluated with |v:lnum| set to the line number for
|
|
|
3629 which the indent is to be computed. The cursor is also as this line
|
|
|
3630 when the expression is evaluated (but it may be moved around).
|
|
|
3631 The expression must return the number of spaces worth of indent. It
|
|
|
3632 can return "-1" to keep the current indent (this means 'autoindent' is
|
|
|
3633 used for the indent).
|
|
|
3634 Functions useful for computing the indent are |indent()|, |cindent()|
|
|
|
3635 and |lispindent()|.
|
|
|
3636 The evaluation of the expression must not have side effects! It must
|
|
|
3637 not change the text, jump to another window, etc. Afterwards the
|
|
|
3638 cursor position is always restored, thus the cursor may be moved.
|
|
|
3639 Normally this option would be set to call a function: >
|
|

3640 :set indentexpr=GetMyIndent()
|
|
|
3641 < Error messages will be suppressed, unless the 'debug' option contains
|
|
|
3642 "msg".
|

|
3643 See |indent-expression|. Also see |eval-sandbox|.

3661 When doing keyword completion in insert mode |ins-completion|, and

3662 'ignorecase' is also on, the case of the match is adjusted. If the
|
|
|
3663 typed text contains a lowercase letter where the match has an upper
|
|
|
3664 case letter, the completed part is made lowercase. If the typed text
|
|
|
3665 has no lowercase letters and the match has a lowercase letter where
|
|
|
3666 the typed text has an uppercase letter, and there is a letter before
|

3667 it, the completed part is made uppercase.

3672 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
3673 Makes Vim work in a way that Insert mode is the default mode. Useful
|
|
|
3674 if you want to use Vim as a modeless editor. Used for |evim|.
|
|
|
3675 These Insert mode commands will be useful:
|
|
|
3676 - Use the cursor keys to move around.
|
|
|
3677 - Use CTRL-O to execute one Normal mode command |i_CTRL-O|). When
|
|
|
3678 this is a mapping, it is executed as if 'insertmode' was off.
|
|
|
3679 Normal mode remains active until the mapping is finished.
|
|
|
3680 *i_CTRL-L*
|
|
|
3681 - Use CTRL-L to execute a number of Normal mode commands, then use
|
|
|
3682 <Esc> to get back to Insert mode.
|
|
|
3683
|
|
|
3684 These items change when 'insertmode' is set:
|
|
|
3685 - when starting to edit of a file, Vim goes to Insert mode.
|
|
|
3686 - <Esc> in Insert mode is a no-op and beeps.
|
|
|
3687 - <Esc> in Normal mode makes Vim go to Insert mode.
|
|
|
3688 - CTRL-L in Insert mode is a command, it is not inserted.
|
|
|
3689 - CTRL-Z in Insert mode suspends Vim, see |CTRL-Z|. *i_CTRL-Z*
|
|
|
3690 However, when <Esc> is used inside a mapping, it behaves like
|
|
|
3691 'insertmode' was not set. This was done to be able to use the same
|
|
|
3692 mappings with 'insertmode' set or not set.
|
|
|
3693 When executing commands with |:normal| 'insertmode' is not used.

3706 The characters specified by this option are included in file names and
|
|
|
3707 path names. Filenames are used for commands like "gf", "[i" and in
|
|
10
|
3708 the tags file. It is also used for "\f" in a |pattern|.
|
|
7
|
3709 Multi-byte characters 256 and above are always included, only the
|
|
|
3710 characters up to 255 are specified with this option.
|
|
|
3711 For UTF-8 the characters 0xa0 to 0xff are included as well.
|
|
|
3712
|
|
|
3713 Note that on systems using a backslash as path separator, Vim tries to
|
|
|
3714 do its best to make it work as you would expect. That is a bit
|
|
|
3715 tricky, since Vi originally used the backslash to escape special
|
|
|
3716 characters. Vim will not remove a backslash in front of a normal file
|
|
|
3717 name character on these systems, but it will on Unix and alikes. The
|
|
|
3718 '&' and '^' are not included by default, because these are special for
|
|
|
3719 cmd.exe.
|
|
|
3720
|
|
|
3721 The format of this option is a list of parts, separated with commas.
|
|
10
|
3722 Each part can be a single character number or a range. A range is two
|
|
|
3723 character numbers with '-' in between. A character number can be a
|
|
7
|
3724 decimal number between 0 and 255 or the ASCII character itself (does
|
|
|
3725 not work for digits). Example:
|
|
|
3726 "_,-,128-140,#-43" (include '_' and '-' and the range
|
|
|
3727 128 to 140 and '#' to 43)
|
|
|
3728 If a part starts with '^', the following character number or range
|
|
|
3729 will be excluded from the option. The option is interpreted from left
|
|
|
3730 to right. Put the excluded character after the range where it is
|
|
|
3731 included. To include '^' itself use it as the last character of the
|
|
|
3732 option or the end of a range. Example:
|
|
|
3733 "^a-z,#,^" (exclude 'a' to 'z', include '#' and '^')
|
|
|
3734 If the character is '@', all characters where isalpha() returns TRUE
|
|
|
3735 are included. Normally these are the characters a to z and A to Z,
|
|
|
3736 plus accented characters. To include '@' itself use "@-@". Examples:
|
|
|
3737 "@,^a-z" All alphabetic characters, excluding lower
|
|
|
3738 case letters.
|
|
|
3739 "a-z,A-Z,@-@" All letters plus the '@' character.
|
|
|
3740 A comma can be included by using it where a character number is
|
|
|
3741 expected. Example:
|
|
|
3742 "48-57,,,_" Digits, comma and underscore.
|
|
|
3743 A comma can be excluded by prepending a '^'. Example:
|
|
|
3744 " -~,^,,9" All characters from space to '~', excluding
|
|
|
3745 comma, plus <Tab>.
|
|
|
3746 See |option-backslash| about including spaces and backslashes.

3754 The characters given by this option are included in identifiers.
|
|
|
3755 Identifiers are used in recognizing environment variables and after a
|
|
|
3756 match of the 'define' option. It is also used for "\i" in a
|
|
233
|
3757 |pattern|. See 'isfname' for a description of the format of this
|
|
7
|
3758 option.
|
|
|
3759 Careful: If you change this option, it might break expanding
|
|
10
|
3760 environment variables. E.g., when '/' is included and Vim tries to
|
|
7
|
3761 expand "$HOME/.viminfo". Maybe you should change 'iskeyword' instead.
|
|
|
3762

7
|
3772 'isfname' for a description of the format of this option. For C
|
|
|
3773 programs you could use "a-z,A-Z,48-57,_,.,-,>".
|
|
|
3774 For a help file it is set to all non-blank printable characters except
|
|
|
3775 '*', '"' and '|' (so that CTRL-] on a command finds the help for that
|
|
|
3776 command).
|
|
|
3777 When the 'lisp' option is on the '-' character is always included.
|
|
|
3778 NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is

3787 screen. It is also used for "\p" in a |pattern|. The characters from
|
|
|
3788 space (ASCII 32) to '~' (ASCII 126) are always displayed directly,
|
|
|
3789 even when they are not included in 'isprint' or excluded. See
|
|
|
3790 'isfname' for a description of the format of this option.
|
|
|
3791
|
|
|
3792 Non-printable characters are displayed with two characters:
|
|
|
3793 0 - 31 "^@" - "^_"

3808 is printable but it is not available in the current font, a
|
|
|
3809 replacement character will be shown.
|

3853 can do. These values can be used:
|
|
|
3854 startsel Using a shifted special key starts selection (either
|
|
|
3855 Select mode or Visual mode, depending on "key" being
|
|
|
3856 present in 'selectmode').
|
|
|
3857 stopsel Using a not-shifted special key stops selection.
|
|
|
3858 Special keys in this context are the cursor keys, <End>, <Home>,
|
|
|
3859 <PageUp> and <PageDown>.
|
|
|
3860 The 'keymodel' option is set by the |:behave| command.

|
|
3865 global or local to buffer |global-local|

3866 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
3867 Program to use for the |K| command. Environment variables are
|
|
|
3868 expanded |:set_env|. ":help" may be used to access the Vim internal
|
|
|
3869 help. (Note that previously setting the global option to the empty
|
|
|
3870 value did this, which is now deprecated.)
|
|
|
3871 When "man" is used, Vim will automatically translate a count for the
|
|
|
3872 "K" command to a section number. Also for "man -s", in which case the
|
|
|
3873 "-s" is removed when there is no count.
|
|
|
3874 See |option-backslash| about including spaces and backslashes.
|
|
|
3875 Example: >
|
|
|
3876 :set keywordprg=man\ -s
|
|
|
3877 < This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for
|

|
|
|
3884 {only available when compiled with the |+langmap|
|
|
|
3885 feature}
|
|
|
3886 This option allows switching your keyboard into a special language
|
|
10
|
3887 mode. When you are typing text in Insert mode the characters are
|
|
7
|
3888 inserted directly. When in command mode the 'langmap' option takes
|
|
|
3889 care of translating these special characters to the original meaning
|
|
|
3890 of the key. This means you don't have to change the keyboard mode to
|
|
|
3891 be able to execute Normal mode commands.
|
|
|
3892 This is the opposite of the 'keymap' option, where characters are
|
|
|
3893 mapped in Insert mode.
|
|
|
3894 This only works for 8-bit characters. The value of 'langmap' may be
|
|
|
3895 specified with multi-byte characters (e.g., UTF-8), but only the lower
|
|
|
3896 8 bits of each character will be used.
|
|
|
3897
|
|
|
3898 Example (for Greek): *greek* >
|

|
3899 :set langmap=ÁA,ÂB,ØC,ÄD,ÅE,ÖF,ÃG,ÇH,ÉI,ÎJ,ÊK,ËL,ÌM,ÍN,ÏO,ÐP,QQ,ÑR,ÓS,ÔT,ÈU,ÙV,WW,×X,ÕY,ÆZ,áa,âb,øc,äd,åe,öf,ãg,çh,éi,îj,êk,ël,ìm,ín,ïo,ðp,qq,ñr,ós,ôt,èu,ùv,òw,÷x,õy,æz

|
|
|
3901 :set langmap=zy,yz,ZY,YZ
|
|
|
3902 <
|
|
|
3903 The 'langmap' option is a list of parts, separated with commas. Each
|
|
|
3904 part can be in one of two forms:
|
|
|
3905 1. A list of pairs. Each pair is a "from" character immediately
|
|
|
3906 followed by the "to" character. Examples: "aA", "aAbBcC".
|
|
|
3907 2. A list of "from" characters, a semi-colon and a list of "to"
|
|
|
3908 characters. Example: "abc;ABC"
|
|
|
3909 Example: "aA,fgh;FGH,cCdDeE"
|
|
|
3910 Special characters need to be preceded with a backslash. These are
|
|
|
3911 ";", ',' and backslash itself.
|
|
|
3912
|
|
|
3913 This will allow you to activate vim actions without having to switch
|
|
|
3914 back and forth between the languages. Your language characters will
|
|
|
3915 be understood as normal vim English characters (according to the
|
|
|
3916 langmap mappings) in the following cases:
|
|
|
3917 o Normal/Visual mode (commands, buffer/register names, user mappings)
|
|
|
3918 o Insert/Replace Mode: Register names after CTRL-R
|
|
|
3919 o Insert/Replace Mode: Mappings
|
|
|
3920 Characters entered in Command-line mode will NOT be affected by
|
|
|
3921 this option. Note that this option can be changed at any time
|
|
|
3922 allowing to switch between mappings for different languages/encodings.

|
3990 Normally you don't need to set this. It is done automatically by the
|

161

3991 terminal initialization code. Also see |posix-screen-size|.
|
|
7
|
3992 When Vim is running in the GUI or in a resizable window, setting this
|
|
|
3993 option will cause the window size to be changed. When you only want
|
|
|
3994 to use the size for the GUI, put the command in your |gvimrc| file.
|
|
|
3995 Vim limits the number of lines to what fits on the screen. You can
|
|
|
3996 use this command to get the tallest window possible: >
|
|
|
3997 :set lines=999
|
|
|
3998 < If you get less lines than expected, check the 'guiheadroom' option.
|
|
|
3999 When you set this option and Vim is unable to change the physical
|
|
|
4000 number of lines of the display, the display may be messed up.

4002 *'linespace'* *'lsp'*

4006 {only in the GUI}
|
|
|
4007 Number of pixel lines inserted between characters. Useful if the font
|
|
|
4008 uses the full character cell height, making lines touch each other.
|
|
|
4009 When non-zero there is room for underlining.
|
|
180
|
4010 With some fonts there can be too much room between lines (to have
|
|
|
4011 space for ascents and descents). Then it makes sense to set
|
|
|
4012 'linespace' to a negative value. This may cause display problems
|
|
|
4013 though!

4021 the next line to Lisp standards (well, sort of). Also happens with
|
|

4022 "cc" or "S". 'autoindent' must also be on for this to work. The 'p'
|

4023 flag in 'cpoptions' changes the method of indenting: Vi compatible or
|
|
|
4024 better. Also see 'lispwords'.
|
|

4025 The '-' character is included in keyword characters. Redefines the
|

4170 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
4171 Maximum depth of function calls for user functions. This normally
|
|
|
4172 catches endless recursion. When using a recursive function with
|
|
|
4173 more depth, set 'maxfuncdepth' to a bigger number. But this will use
|
|

4174 more memory, there is the danger of failing when memory is exhausted.

4182 character to be used. This normally catches endless mappings, like
|
|
|
4183 ":map x y" with ":map y x". It still does not catch ":map g wg",

4205 When Vim runs into the limit it gives an error message mostly behaves
|
|
|
4206 like CTRL-C was typed.
|
|

4207 Running into the limit often means that the pattern is very
|
|

4208 inefficient or too complex. This may already happen with the pattern
|
|
|
4209 "\(.\)*" on a very long line. ".*" works much better.

4257 When on, the buffer is considered to be modified. This option is set
|

4258 when:
|
|
|
4259 1. A change was made to the text since it was last written. Using the
|
|
|
4260 |undo| command to go back to the original text will reset the
|
|
|
4261 option. But undoing changes that were made before writing the
|
|
|
4262 buffer will set the option again, since the text is different from
|
|
|
4263 when it was written.
|
|
|
4264 2. 'fileformat' or 'fileencoding' is different from its original
|
|
|
4265 value. The original value is set when the buffer is read or
|
|
|
4266 written. A ":set nomodified" command also resets the original
|
|
|
4267 values to the current values and the 'modified' option will be

4268 reset.

|
|
|
4298 :set mouse=a
|
|
|
4299 < When the mouse is not enabled, the GUI will still use the mouse for
|
|
|
4300 modeless selection. This doesn't move the text cursor.

|
|
4302 See |mouse-using|. Also see |'clipboard'|.
|
|
|
4303
|
|
|
4304 Note: When enabling the mouse in a terminal, copy/paste will use the
|
|
10
|
4305 "* register if there is access to an X-server. The xterm handling of
|
|
7
|
4306 the mouse buttons can still be used by keeping the shift key pressed.

4314 The window that the mouse pointer is on is automatically activated.
|
|
|
4315 When changing the window layout or window focus in another way, the
|
|
|
4316 mouse pointer is moved to the window with keyboard focus. Off is the
|
|
|
4317 default because it makes using the pull down menus a little goofy, as
|
|
|
4318 a pointer transit may activate a window unintentionally.

|
4319
|
|
|
4320 *'mousehide'* *'mh'* *'nomousehide'* *'nomh'*
|
|

4321 'mousehide' 'mh' boolean (default on)

4328 *'mousemodel'* *'mousem'*
|
|

4329 'mousemodel' 'mousem' string (default "extend", "popup" for MS-DOS and Win32)
|
|
|
4330 global
|
|
|
4331 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
4332 Sets the model to use for the mouse. The name mostly specifies what
|
|
|
4333 the right mouse button is used for:
|
|
|
4334 extend Right mouse button extends a selection. This works
|
|
|
4335 like in an xterm.
|
|
|
4336 popup Right mouse button pops up a menu. The shifted left
|
|
|
4337 mouse button extends a selection. This works like
|
|
233
|
4338 with Microsoft Windows.
|
|
7
|
4339 popup_setpos Like "popup", but the cursor will be moved to the
|
|
|
4340 position where the mouse was clicked, and thus the
|
|
|
4341 selected operation will act upon the clicked object.
|
|
|
4342 If clicking inside a selection, that selection will
|
|
233
|
4343 be acted upon, i.e. no cursor move. This implies of
|
|
7
|
4344 course, that right clicking outside a selection will
|
|
|
4345 end Visual mode.
|
|
|
4346 Overview of what button does what for each model:
|
|
|
4347 mouse extend popup(_setpos) ~
|
|
|
4348 left click place cursor place cursor
|
|
|
4349 left drag start selection start selection
|
|
|
4350 shift-left search word extend selection
|
|
|
4351 right click extend selection popup menu (place cursor)
|
|
|
4352 right drag extend selection -
|
|
|
4353 middle click paste paste
|
|
|
4354
|
|
|
4355 In the "popup" model the right mouse button produces a pop-up menu.
|
|
|
4356 You need to define this first, see |popup-menu|.
|
|
|
4357
|
|
|
4358 Note that you can further refine the meaning of buttons with mappings.
|
|
|
4359 See |gui-mouse-mapping|. But mappings are NOT used for modeless
|
|
|
4360 selection (because that's handled in the GUI code directly).
|
|
|
4361
|
|
|
4362 The 'mousemodel' option is set by the |:behave| command.
|
|
|
4363
|
|
|
4364 *'mouseshape'* *'mouses'* *E547*
|
|

|
|
|
4371 This option tells Vim what the mouse pointer should look like in
|
|
|
4372 different modes. The option is a comma separated list of parts, much
|
|
|
4373 like used for 'guicursor'. Each part consist of a mode/location-list
|
|
|
4374 and an argument-list:
|
|
|
4375 mode-list:shape,mode-list:shape,..
|
|
|
4376 The mode-list is a dash separated list of these modes/locations:
|
|
|
4377 In a normal window: ~
|
|
|
4378 n Normal mode
|
|
|
4379 v Visual mode

|
4451 This defines what bases Vim will consider for numbers when using the
|
|
|
4452 CTRL-A and CTRL-X commands for adding to and subtracting from a number
|
|
|
4453 respectively; see |CTRL-A| for more info on these commands.
|
|
|
4454 alpha if included, single alphabetical characters will be
|
|
|
4455 incremented or decremented. This is useful for a list with a
|
|
|
4456 letter index a), b), etc.
|
|
|
4457 octal if included, numbers that start with a zero will be considered
|
|
|
4458 to be octal. Example: Using CTRL-A on "007" results in "010".
|
|
|
4459 hex if included, numbers starting with "0x" or "0X" will be
|
|
|
4460 considered to be hexadecimal. Example: Using CTRL-X on
|
|
|
4461 "0x100" results in "0x0ff".
|
|
|
4462 Numbers which simply begin with a digit in the range 1-9 are always
|
|
|
4463 considered decimal. This also happens for numbers that are not
|
|
|
4464 recognized as octal or hex.

|
4465
|
|
|
4466 *'number'* *'nu'* *'nonumber'* *'nonu'*

|
4467 'number' 'nu' boolean (default off)
|
|

4468 local to window
|
|
|
4469 Print the line number in front of each line. When the 'n' option is
|
|
|
4470 excluded from 'cpoptions' a wrapped line will not use the column of
|
|
|
4471 line numbers (this is the default when 'compatible' isn't set).
|
|
13
|
4472 The 'numberwidth' option can be used to set the room used for the line
|
|
|
4473 number.
|
|
7
|
4474 When a long, wrapped line doesn't start with the first character, '-'
|
|
|
4475 characters are put before the number.

|
|
13
|
4484 Minimal number of columns to use for the line number. Only relevant
|
|
|
4485 when the 'number' option is set.
|
|
|
4486 Since one space is always between the number and the text, there is
|
|
|
4487 one less character for the number itself.
|
|
|
4488 The value is the minimum width. A bigger width is used when needed to
|
|
|
4489 fit the highest line number in the buffer. Thus with the Vim default
|
|
|
4490 of 4 there is room for a line number up to 999. When the buffer has
|
|
|
4491 1000 lines five columns will be used.
|
|
|
4492 The minimum value is 1, the maximum value is 10.
|
|
|
4493 NOTE: 'numberwidth' is reset to 8 when 'compatible' is set.

4502 Some operating systems store extra information about files besides
|
|
|
4503 name, datestamp and permissions. This option contains the extra
|
|
|
4504 information, the nature of which will vary between systems.
|
|
|
4505 The value of this option is usually set when the file is loaded, and
|
|
|
4506 use to set the file type when file is written.
|
|

4507 It can affect the pattern matching of the automatic commands.

4510 *'paragraphs'* *'para'*
|
|
|
4511 'paragraphs' 'para' string (default "IPLPPPQPP LIpplpipbp")
|
|
|
4512 global
|
|
|
4513 Specifies the nroff macros that separate paragraphs. These are pairs
|
|
|
4514 of two letters (see |object-motions|).

4515
|
|
|
4516 *'paste'* *'nopaste'*
|

|
|
10
|
4520 Put Vim in Paste mode. This is useful if you want to cut or copy
|
|
|
4521 some text from one window and paste it in Vim. This will avoid
|
|
7
|
4522 unexpected effects.
|
|
|
4523 Setting this option is useful when using Vim in a terminal, where Vim
|
|
10
|
4524 cannot distinguish between typed text and pasted text. In the GUI, Vim
|
|
7
|
4525 knows about pasting and will mostly do the right thing without 'paste'
|
|
|
4526 being set. The same is true for a terminal where Vim handles the
|
|
|
4527 mouse clicks itself.
|
|
148
|
4528 This option is reset when starting the GUI. Thus if you set it in
|
|
|
4529 your .vimrc it will work in a terminal, but not in the GUI. Setting
|
|
|
4530 'paste' in the GUI has side effects: e.g., the Paste toolbar button
|
|
|
4531 will no longer work in Insert mode, because it uses a mapping.
|
|
7
|
4532 When the 'paste' option is switched on (also when it was already on):
|
|
|
4533 - mapping in Insert mode and Command-line mode is disabled
|
|
|
4534 - abbreviations are disabled
|
|
|
4535 - 'textwidth' is set to 0
|
|
|
4536 - 'wrapmargin' is set to 0
|
|
|
4537 - 'autoindent' is reset
|
|
|
4538 - 'smartindent' is reset
|
|
|
4539 - 'softtabstop' is set to 0
|
|
|
4540 - 'revins' is reset
|
|
|
4541 - 'ruler' is reset
|
|
|
4542 - 'showmatch' is reset
|
|
|
4543 - 'formatoptions' is used like it is empty
|
|
|
4544 These options keep their value, but their effect is disabled:
|
|
|
4545 - 'lisp'
|
|
|
4546 - 'indentexpr'
|
|
|
4547 - 'cindent'
|
|
|
4548 NOTE: When you start editing another file while the 'paste' option is
|
|
|
4549 on, settings from the modelines or autocommands may change the
|
|
|
4550 settings again, causing trouble when pasting text. You might want to
|
|
|
4551 set the 'paste' option again.
|
|
|
4552 When the 'paste' option is reset the mentioned options are restored to
|
|
|
4553 the value before the moment 'paste' was switched from off to on.
|
|
|
4554 Resetting 'paste' before ever setting it does not have any effect.
|
|
|
4555 Since mapping doesn't work while 'paste' is active, you need to use
|
|
|
4556 the 'pastetoggle' option to toggle the 'paste' option with some key.
|
|
|
4557
|
|
|
4558 *'pastetoggle'* *'pt'*
|
|
|
4559 'pastetoggle' 'pt' string (default "")
|
|
|
4560 global
|
|
|
4561 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
4562 When non-empty, specifies the key sequence that toggles the 'paste'
|
|
|
4563 option. This is like specifying a mapping: >
|
|
|
4564 :map {keys} :set invpaste<CR>
|
|
|
4565 < Where {keys} is the value of 'pastetoggle'.
|
|
|
4566 The difference is that it will work even when 'paste' is set.
|
|
|
4567 'pastetoggle' works in Insert mode and Normal mode, but not in
|
|
|
4568 Command-line mode.
|
|
|
4569 Mappings are checked first, thus overrule 'pastetoggle'. However,
|
|
|
4570 when 'paste' is on mappings are ignored in Insert mode, thus you can do
|
|
|
4571 this: >
|
|
|
4572 :map <F10> :set paste<CR>
|
|
|
4573 :map <F11> :set nopaste<CR>
|
|
|
4574 :imap <F10> <C-O>:set paste<CR>
|
|
|
4575 :imap <F11> <nop>
|
|
|
4576 :set pastetoggle=<F11>
|
|
|
4577 < This will make <F10> start paste mode and <F11> stop paste mode.
|
|
|
4578 Note that typing <F10> in paste mode inserts "<F10>", since in paste
|
|
|
4579 mode everything is inserted literally, except the 'pastetoggle' key
|
|
|
4580 sequence.
|

|

4594 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
4595 When non-empty the oldest version of a file is kept. This can be used
|
|
|
4596 to keep the original version of a file if you are changing files in a
|
|
|
4597 source distribution. Only the first time that a file is written a
|
|
|
4598 copy of the original file will be kept. The name of the copy is the
|
|
|
4599 name of the original file with the string in the 'patchmode' option
|
|
|
4600 appended. This option should start with a dot. Use a string like
|
|
|
4601 ".org". 'backupdir' must not be empty for this to work (Detail: The
|
|
|
4602 backup file is renamed to the patchmode file after the new file has
|
|
|
4603 been successfully written, that's why it must be possible to write a
|
|
|
4604 backup file). If there was no file to be backed up, an empty file is
|
|
|
4605 created.
|
|
|
4606 When the 'backupskip' pattern matches, a patchmode file is not made.
|
|
|
4607 Using 'patchmode' for compressed files appends the extension at the
|
|
|
4608 end (e.g., "file.gz.orig"), thus the resulting name isn't always
|

4618 This is a list of directories which will be searched when using the
|
|
|
4619 |gf|, [f, ]f, ^Wf, |:find| and other commands, provided that the file
|
|
|
4620 being searched for has a relative path (not starting with '/'). The
|
|
|
4621 directories in the 'path' option may be relative or absolute.
|
|
|
4622 - Use commas to separate directory names: >
|
|
|
4623 :set path=.,/usr/local/include,/usr/include
|
|
|
4624 < - Spaces can also be used to separate directory names (for backwards
|
|
|
4625 compatibility with version 3.0). To have a space in a directory
|
|
|
4626 name, precede it with an extra backslash, and escape the space: >
|
|
|
4627 :set path=.,/dir/with\\\ space
|
|
|
4628 < - To include a comma in a directory name precede it with an extra
|
|
|
4629 backslash: >
|
|
|
4630 :set path=.,/dir/with\\,comma
|
|
|
4631 < - To search relative to the directory of the current file, use: >
|
|
|
4632 :set path=.
|
|
|
4633 < - To search in the current directory use an empty string between two
|
|
|
4634 commas: >
|
|
|
4635 :set path=,,
|
|
|
4636 < - A directory name may end in a ':' or '/'.
|
|
|
4637 - Environment variables are expanded |:set_env|.
|
|
|
4638 - When using |netrw.vim| URLs can be used. For example, adding
|
|
|
4639 "http://www.vim.org" will make ":find index.html" work.
|
|
|
4640 - Search upwards and downwards in a directory tree:
|
|
|
4641 1) "*" matches a sequence of characters, e.g.: >
|
|
|
4642 :set path=/usr/include/*
|
|
|
4643 < means all subdirectories in /usr/include (but not /usr/include
|
|
|
4644 itself). >
|
|
|
4645 :set path=/usr/*c
|
|
|
4646 < matches /usr/doc and /usr/src.
|
|
|
4647 2) "**" matches a subtree, up to 100 directories deep. Example: >
|
|
|
4648 :set path=/home/user_x/src/**
|
|
|
4649 < means search in the whole subtree under "/home/usr_x/src".
|
|
|
4650 3) If the path ends with a ';', this path is the startpoint
|
|
|
4651 for upward search.
|
|
|
4652 See |file-searching| for more info and exact syntax.
|
|
|
4653 {not available when compiled without the |+path_extra| feature}
|
|
|
4654 - Careful with '\' characters, type two to get one in the option: >
|
|
|
4655 :set path=.,c:\\include
|
|
|
4656 < Or just use '/' instead: >
|
|
|
4657 :set path=.,c:/include
|
|
|
4658 < Don't forget "." or files won't even be found in the same directory as
|
|
|
4659 the file!
|
|
10
|
4660 The maximum length is limited. How much depends on the system, mostly
|
|
7
|
4661 it is something like 256 or 1024 characters.
|
|
|
4662 You can check if all the include files are found, using the value of
|
|
|
4663 'path', see |:checkpath|.
|
|
|
4664 The use of |:set+=| and |:set-=| is preferred when adding or removing
|
|
|
4665 directories from the list. This avoids problems when a future version
|
|
|
4666 uses another default. To remove the current directory use: >
|
|
|
4667 :set path-=
|
|
|
4668 < To add the current directory use: >
|
|
|
4669 :set path+=
|
|
|
4670 < To use an environment variable, you probably need to replace the
|
|
|
4671 separator. Here is an example to append $INCL, in which directory
|
|
|
4672 names are separated with a semi-colon: >
|
|
|
4673 :let &path = &path . "," . substitute($INCL, ';', ',', 'g')
|
|
|
4674 < Replace the ';' with a ':' or whatever separator is used. Note that
|
|
|
4675 this doesn't work when $INCL contains a comma or white space.

4680 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
4681 When changing the indent of the current line, preserve as much of the
|
|
|
4682 indent structure as possible. Normally the indent is replaced by a
|
|
|
4683 series of tabs followed by spaces as required (unless |'expandtab'| is
|
|
|
4684 enabled, in which case only spaces are used). Enabling this option
|
|
|
4685 means the indent will preserve as many existing characters as possible
|
|
|
4686 for indenting, and only add additional tabs or spaces as required.
|
|
|
4687 NOTE: When using ">>" multiple times the resulting indent is a mix of
|
|
|
4688 tabs and spaces. You might not like this.
|
|
|
4689 NOTE: 'preserveindent' is reset when 'compatible' is set.
|

4915 {not available when compiled without the |+statusline|

4916 feature}

|
|
4917 When this option is not empty, it determines the content of the ruler
|
|
|
4918 string, as displayed for the 'ruler' option.
|
|
|
4919 The format of this option, is like that of 'statusline'.
|
|
|
4920 The default ruler width is 17 characters. To make the ruler 15
|
|
|
4921 characters wide, put "%15(" at the start and "%)" at the end.

4975 The defaults for most systems are setup to search five locations:
|
|
|
4976 1. In your home directory, for your personal preferences.
|
|
|
4977 2. In a system-wide Vim directory, for preferences from the system
|
|
|
4978 administrator.
|
|
|
4979 3. In $VIMRUNTIME, for files distributed with Vim.
|
|
|
4980 *after-directory*
|
|
|
4981 4. In the "after" directory in the system-wide Vim directory. This is
|
|
|
4982 for the system administrator to overrule or add to the distributed
|
|
|
4983 defaults (rarely needed)
|
|
|
4984 5. In the "after" directory in your home directory. This is for
|
|
|
4985 personal preferences to overrule or add to the distributed defaults
|
|
|
4986 or system-wide settings (rarely needed).
|
|
|
4987
|
|
|
4988 Note that, unlike 'path', no wildcards like "**" are allowed. Normal
|
|
|
4989 wildcards are allowed, but can significantly slow down searching for
|
|
10
|
4990 runtime files. For speed, use as few items as possible and avoid
|
|
7
|
4991 wildcards.
|
|
|
4992 See |:runtime|.
|
|
|
4993 Example: >
|
|
|
4994 :set runtimepath=~/vimruntime,/mygroup/vim,$VIMRUNTIME
|
|
|
4995 < This will use the directory "~/vimruntime" first (containing your

4996 personal Vim runtime files), then "/mygroup/vim" (shared between a
|
|
|
4997 group of people) and finally "$VIMRUNTIME" (the distributed runtime
|
|
|
4998 files).
|
|
|
4999 You probably should always include $VIMRUNTIME somewhere, to use the
|
|
|
5000 distributed runtime files. You can put a directory before $VIMRUNTIME
|
|
|
5001 to find files which replace a distributed runtime files. You can put
|
|
|
5002 a directory after $VIMRUNTIME to find files which add to distributed
|
|
|
5003 runtime files.

|
|
|
5010 Number of lines to scroll with CTRL-U and CTRL-D commands. Will be
|
|

5011 set to half the number of lines in the window when the window size
|
|
|
5012 changes. If you give a count to the CTRL-U or CTRL-D command it will
|
|
10
|
5013 be used as the new value for 'scroll'. Reset to half the window
|
|
7
|
5014 height with ":set scroll=0". {Vi is a bit different: 'scroll' gives
|
|
|
5015 the number of screen lines instead of file lines, makes a difference
|
|
|
5016 when lines wrap}

5025 window scrolls as other scrollbind windows (windows that also have
|

5028 See |'scrollopt'| for options that determine how this option should be
|
|
|
5029 interpreted.
|
|
|
5030 This option is mostly reset when splitting a window to edit another
|
|
|
5031 file. This means that ":split | edit file" results in two windows
|
|
|
5032 with scroll-binding, but ":split file" does not.

5033
|
|

|
|
5035 'scrolljump' 'sj' number (default 1)
|
|
|
5036 global
|
|
|
5037 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
5038 Minimal number of lines to scroll when the cursor gets off the
|
|
|
5039 screen (e.g., with "j"). Not used for scroll commands (e.g., CTRL-E,
|
|

5048 This will make some context visible around where you are working. If
|
|
|
5049 you set it to a very large value (999) the cursor line will always be
|
|
|
5050 in the middle of the window (except at the start or end of the file or
|
|
|
5051 when long lines wrap).

5060 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
5061 This is a comma-separated list of words that specifies how
|
|
236
|
5062 'scrollbind' windows should behave. 'sbo' stands for ScrollBind
|
|
|
5063 Options.
|
|
7
|
5064 The following words are available:
|
|
|
5065 ver Bind vertical scrolling for 'scrollbind' windows
|
|
|
5066 hor Bind horizontal scrolling for 'scrollbind' windows
|
|
|
5067 jump Applies to the offset between two windows for vertical
|
|
|
5068 scrolling. This offset is the difference in the first
|
|
|
5069 displayed line of the bound windows. When moving
|
|
|
5070 around in a window, another 'scrollbind' window may
|
|
|
5071 reach a position before the start or after the end of
|
|
|
5072 the buffer. The offset is not changed though, when
|
|
|
5073 moving back the 'scrollbind' window will try to scroll
|
|
|
5074 to the desired position when possible.
|
|
|
5075 When now making that window the current one, two
|
|
|
5076 things can be done with the relative offset:
|
|
|
5077 1. When "jump" is not included, the relative offset is
|
|
|
5078 adjusted for the scroll position in the new current
|
|
|
5079 window. When going back to the other window, the
|
|
|
5080 the new relative offset will be used.
|
|
|
5081 2. When "jump" is included, the other windows are
|
|
|
5082 scrolled to keep the same relative offset. When
|
|
|
5083 going back to the other window, it still uses the
|
|
|
5084 same relative offset.
|
|
|
5085 Also see |scroll-binding|.
|
|
|
5086
|
|
|
5087 *'sections'* *'sect'*
|
|
|
5088 'sections' 'sect' string (default "SHNHH HUnhsh")
|
|
|
5089 global
|
|
|
5090 Specifies the nroff macros that separate sections. These are pairs of
|
|
|
5091 two letters (See |object-motions|). The default makes a section start
|
|
|
5092 at the nroff macros ".SH", ".NH", ".H", ".HU", ".nh" and ".sh".
|
|
|
5093
|
|
|
5094 *'secure'* *'nosecure'* *E523*
|
|
|
5095 'secure' boolean (default off)
|
|
|
5096 global
|
|
|
5097 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
5098 When on, ":autocmd", shell and write commands are not allowed in
|
|
|
5099 ".vimrc" and ".exrc" in the current directory and map commands are
|
|
|
5100 displayed. Switch it off only if you know that you will not run into
|
|
|
5101 problems, or when the 'exrc' option is off. On Unix this option is
|
|
|
5102 only used if the ".vimrc" or ".exrc" is not owned by you. This can be
|
|
10
|
5103 dangerous if the systems allows users to do a "chown". You better set
|
|
7
|
5104 'secure' at the end of your ~/.vimrc then.
|
|
|
5105 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for
|
|
|
5106 security reasons.

5108 *'selection'* *'sel'*

5109 'selection' 'sel' string (default "inclusive")
|
|
|
5110 global
|
|
|
5111 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
5112 This option defines the behavior of the selection. It is only used
|
|
|
5113 in Visual and Select mode.
|
|
|
5114 Possible values:
|
|
|
5115 value past line inclusive ~
|
|
|
5116 old no yes
|
|
|
5117 inclusive yes yes
|
|
|
5118 exclusive yes no
|
|
|
5119 "past line" means that the cursor is allowed to be positioned one
|
|
|
5120 character past the line.
|
|
|
5121 "inclusive" means that the last character of the selection is included
|
|
|
5122 in an operation. For example, when "x" is used to delete the
|
|
|
5123 selection.
|
|
|
5124 Note that when "exclusive" is used and selecting from the end
|
|
|
5125 backwards, you cannot include the last character of a line, when
|
|
|
5126 starting in Normal mode and 'virtualedit' empty.
|
|
|
5127
|
|
|
5128 The 'selection' option is set by the |:behave| command.
|
|
|
5129
|
|

5135 Select mode instead of Visual mode, when a selection is started.
|
|
|
5136 Possible values:
|
|
|
5137 mouse when using the mouse
|

5138 key when using shifted special keys
|
|
|
5139 cmd when using "v", "V" or CTRL-V
|

5142
|
|
|
5143 *'sessionoptions'* *'ssop'*
|
|
|
5144 'sessionoptions' 'ssop' string (default: "blank,buffers,curdir,folds,

5149 feature}
|
|
|
5150 Changes the effect of the |:mksession| command. It is a comma
|
|
|
5151 separated list of words. Each word enables saving and restoring
|
|

5152 something:
|
|
|
5153 word save and restore ~
|
|
|
5154 blank empty windows
|

5171 systems)
|
|
|
5172 slash backslashes in file names replaced with forward
|
|
|
5173 slashes
|
|

5179 Don't include both "curdir" and "sesdir".
|
|
|
5180 When "curdir" nor "sesdir" is included, file names are stored with
|
|
|
5181 absolute paths.
|
|
|
5182 "slash" and "unix" are useful on Windows when sharing session files
|
|
|
5183 with Unix. The Unix version of Vim cannot source dos format scripts,
|
|
|
5184 but the Windows version of Vim can source unix format scripts.
|
|
|
5185
|
|
|
5186 *'shell'* *'sh'* *E91*
|
|
|
5187 'shell' 'sh' string (default $SHELL or "sh",
|
|
|
5188 MS-DOS and Win32: "command.com" or
|
|
|
5189 "cmd.exe", OS/2: "cmd")
|
|
|
5190 global
|
|
|
5191 Name of the shell to use for ! and :! commands. When changing the
|
|
|
5192 value also check these options: 'shelltype', 'shellpipe', 'shellslash'
|
|
|
5193 'shellredir', 'shellquote', 'shellxquote' and 'shellcmdflag'.
|
|
10
|
5194 It is allowed to give an argument to the command, e.g. "csh -f".
|
|
7
|
5195 See |option-backslash| about including spaces and backslashes.
|
|
|
5196 Environment variables are expanded |:set_env|.
|
|
|
5197 If the name of the shell contains a space, you might need to enclose
|
|
|
5198 it in quotes. Example: >
|
|
|
5199 :set shell=\"c:\program\ files\unix\sh.exe\"\ -f
|
|
|
5200 < Note the backslash before each quote (to avoid starting a comment) and
|
|
10
|
5201 each space (to avoid ending the option value). Also note that the
|
|
7
|
5202 "-f" is not inside the quotes, because it is not part of the command
|
|
|
5203 name. And Vim automagically recognizes the backslashes that are path
|
|
|
5204 separators.
|
|
|
5205 For Dos 32 bits (DJGPP), you can set the $DJSYSFLAGS environment
|
|
|
5206 variable to change the way external commands are executed. See the
|
|
|
5207 libc.inf file of DJGPP.
|
|
|
5208 Under MS-Windows, when the executable ends in ".com" it must be
|
|
|
5209 included. Thus setting the shell to "command.com" or "4dos.com"
|
|
|
5210 works, but "command" and "4dos" do not work for all commands (e.g.,
|
|
|
5211 filtering).
|
|
|
5212 For unknown reasons, when using "4dos.com" the current directory is
|
|
|
5213 changed to "C:\". To avoid this set 'shell' like this: >
|
|
|
5214 :set shell=command.com\ /c\ 4dos
|
|
|
5215 < This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for
|
|
|
5216 security reasons.
|
|
|
5217
|
|
|
5218 *'shellcmdflag'* *'shcf'*
|
|
|
5219 'shellcmdflag' 'shcf' string (default: "-c", MS-DOS and Win32, when 'shell'
|
|
|
5220 does not contain "sh" somewhere: "/c")
|
|
|
5221 global
|
|
|
5222 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
5223 Flag passed to the shell to execute "!" and ":!" commands; e.g.,
|
|
|
5224 "bash.exe -c ls" or "command.com /c dir". For the MS-DOS-like
|
|
|
5225 systems, the default is set according to the value of 'shell', to
|
|
|
5226 reduce the need to set this option by the user. It's not used for
|
|
|
5227 OS/2 (EMX figures this out itself). See |option-backslash| about

5238 String to be used to put the output of the ":make" command in the

10

5239 error file. See also |:make_makeprg|. See |option-backslash| about

5240 including spaces and backslashes.
|
|
|
5241 The name of the temporary file can be represented by "%s" if necessary
|
|
|
5242 (the file name is appended automatically if no %s appears in the value
|
|
|
5243 of this option).
|
|
|
5244 For the Amiga and MS-DOS the default is ">". The output is directly
|
|
|
5245 saved in a file and not echoed to the screen.
|
|
|
5246 For Unix the default it "| tee". The stdout of the compiler is saved
|
|
|
5247 in a file and echoed to the screen. If the 'shell' option is "csh" or
|
|
|
5248 "tcsh" after initializations, the default becomes "|& tee". If the
|
|
|
5249 'shell' option is "sh", "ksh", "zsh" or "bash" the default becomes
|
|
|
5250 "2>&1| tee". This means that stderr is also included.
|
|
|
5251 The initialization of this option is done after reading the ".vimrc"
|
|
|
5252 and the other initializations, so that when the 'shell' option is set
|
|
|
5253 there, the 'shellpipe' option changes automatically, unless it was
|
|
|
5254 explicitly set before.
|
|
|
5255 When 'shellpipe' is set to an empty string, no redirection of the
|
|
|
5256 ":make" output will be done. This is useful if you use a 'makeprg'
|
|
|
5257 that writes to 'makeef' by itself. If you want no piping, but do
|
|
|
5258 want to include the 'makeef', set 'shellpipe' to a single space.
|
|
|
5259 Don't forget to precede the space with a backslash: ":set sp=\ ".
|
|
|
5260 In the future pipes may be used for filtering and this option will
|
|
|
5261 become obsolete (at least for Unix).
|
|
|
5262 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for

|
|
|
5272 quoting. See 'shellxquote' to include the redirection. It's
|
|
|
5273 probably not useful to set both options.
|
|
|
5274 This is an empty string by default. Only known to be useful for
|
|
|
5275 third-party shells on MS-DOS-like systems, such as the MKS Korn Shell
|
|
|
5276 or bash, where it should be "\"". The default is adjusted according
|
|
|
5277 the value of 'shell', to reduce the need to set this option by the
|
|
|
5278 user. See |dos-shell|.
|
|
|
5279 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for

5286 String to be used to put the output of a filter command in a temporary

5287 file. See also |:!|. See |option-backslash| about including spaces
|
|
|
5288 and backslashes.
|
|
|
5289 The name of the temporary file can be represented by "%s" if necessary
|
|
|
5290 (the file name is appended automatically if no %s appears in the value
|
|
|
5291 of this option).
|
|
|
5292 The default is ">". For Unix, if the 'shell' option is "csh", "tcsh"
|
|
|
5293 or "zsh" during initializations, the default becomes ">&". If the
|
|
|
5294 'shell' option is "sh", "ksh" or "bash" the default becomes
|
|
|
5295 ">%s 2>&1". This means that stderr is also included.
|
|
|
5296 For Win32, the Unix checks are done and additionally "cmd" is checked
|
|
|
5297 for, which makes the default ">%s 2>&1". Also, the same names with
|
|
|
5298 ".exe" appended are checked for.
|
|
|
5299 The initialization of this option is done after reading the ".vimrc"
|
|

5300 and the other initializations, so that when the 'shell' option is set

5311 {not in Vi} {only for MSDOS, MS-Windows and OS/2}
|
|
|
5312 When set, a forward slash is used when expanding file names. This is
|
|
|
5313 useful when a Unix-like shell is used instead of command.com or
|
|
|
5314 cmd.exe. Backward slashes can still be typed, but they are changed to
|
|
|
5315 forward slashes by Vim.
|
|
|
5316 Note that setting or resetting this option has no effect for some
|
|
|
5317 existing file names, thus this option needs to be set before opening
|
|
|
5318 any file for best results. This might change in the future.
|
|
|
5319 'shellslash' only works when a backslash can be used as a path
|

5320 separator. To test if this is so use: >

5321 if exists('+shellslash')

5329 Currently a pipe is only supported on Unix. You can check it with: >
|
|
|
5330 :if has("filterpipe")
|
|
|
5331 < The advantage of using a pipe is that nobody can read the temp file
|
|
|
5332 and the 'shell' command does not need to support redirection.
|
|
|
5333 The advantage of using a temp file is that the file type and encoding
|
|
|
5334 can be detected.
|

5335 The |FilterReadPre|, |FilterReadPost| and |FilterWritePre|,

|
|
|
5540 makes some context visible in the line you are scrolling in
|
|
|
5541 horizontally (except at the end and beginning of the line). Setting
|
|
|
5542 this option to a large value (like 999) has the effect of keeping the
|
|
|
5543 cursor horizontally centered in the window, as long as one does not

5544 come too close to the beginning or end of the line.

|
5573 Do smart autoindenting when starting a new line. Works for C-like
|
|
|
5574 programs, but can also be used for other languages. 'cindent' does
|
|
|
5575 something like this, works better in most cases, but is more strict,
|
|
|
5576 see |C-indenting|. When 'cindent' is on, setting 'si' has no effect.
|
|
|
5577 'indentexpr' is a more advanced alternative.
|
|
|
5578 Normally 'autoindent' should also be on when using 'smartindent'.
|
|
|
5579 An indent is automatically inserted:
|
|
|
5580 - After a line ending in '{'.
|
|
|
5581 - After a line starting with a keyword from 'cinwords'.
|
|
|
5582 - Before a line starting with '}' (only with the "O" command).
|
|
|
5583 When typing '}' as the first character in a new line, that line is
|
|
|
5584 given the same indent as the matching '{'.
|
|
|
5585 When typing '#' as the first character in a new line, the indent for
|
|
|
5586 that line is removed, the '#' is put in the first column. The indent
|
|
10
|
5587 is restored for the next line. If you don't want this, use this
|
|
7
|
5588 mapping: ":inoremap # X^H#", where ^H is entered with CTRL-V CTRL-H.
|
|
|
5589 When using the ">>" command, lines starting with '#' are not shifted
|
|
|
5590 right.
|

5591 NOTE: 'smartindent' is reset when 'compatible' is set. When 'paste'

5598 When on, a <Tab> in front of a line inserts blanks according to
|
|

5599 'shiftwidth'. 'tabstop' is used in other places. A <BS> will delete
|
|
|
5600 a 'shiftwidth' worth of space at the start of the line.
|
|
|
5601 When off a <Tab> always inserts blanks according to 'tabstop'.
|
|
|
5602 'shiftwidth' is only used for shifting text left or right
|
|
|
5603 |shift-left-right|.
|
|
|
5604 What gets inserted (a Tab or spaces) depends on the 'expandtab'
|

5605 option. Also see |ins-expandtab|. When 'expandtab' is not set, the

5613 Number of spaces that a <Tab> counts for while performing editing
|
|

5614 operations, like inserting a <Tab> or using <BS>. It "feels" like
|
|
|
5615 <Tab>s are being inserted, while in fact a mix of spaces and <Tab>s is
|
|
|
5616 used. This is useful to keep the 'ts' setting at its standard value
|
|
|
5617 of 8, while being able to edit like it is set to 'sts'. However,
|
|
|
5618 commands like "x" still work on the actual characters.
|
|
|
5619 When 'sts' is zero, this feature is off.
|
|

5620 'softtabstop' is set to 0 when the 'paste' option is set.

5648 The resulting ".spl" file will be used for spell checking, it does not
|

5649 have to appear in 'spelllang'.
|
|
|
5650 Normally one file is used for all regions, but you can add the region
|

5651 name if you want to. However, it will then only be used when
|

5652 'spellfile' is set to it, for entries in 'spelllang' only files

5663 A comma separated list of word list names. When the 'spell' option is

5664 on spellchecking will be done for these languages. Example: >
|
|
|
5665 set spelllang=en_us,nl,medical
|
|
|
5666 < This means US English, Dutch and medical words are recognized. Words
|
|
|
5667 that are not recognized will be highlighted.
|
|
|
5668 The word list name must not include a comma or dot. Using a dash is
|
|
|
5669 recommended to separate the two letter language name from a
|
|
|
5670 specification. Thus "en-rare" is used for rare English words.
|
|
|
5671 A region name must come last and have the form "_xx", where "xx" is
|
|
|
5672 the two-letter, lower case region name. You can use more than one
|
|
|
5673 region by listing them: "en_us,en_ca" supports both US and Canadian
|
|
|
5674 English, but not words specific for Australia, New Zealand or Great
|
|
|
5675 Britain.
|
|
236
|
5676 When 'encoding' is set the word lists are reloaded. Thus it's a good

5677 idea to set 'spelllang' after setting 'encoding'.

5819 Display of flags are controlled by the following heuristic:
|
|
|
5820 If a flag text starts with comma it is assumed that it wants to
|
|
10
|
5821 separate itself from anything but preceding plaintext. If it starts
|
|
7
|
5822 with a space it is assumed that it wants to separate itself from
|
|
|
5823 anything but other flags. That is: A leading comma is removed if the
|
|
|
5824 preceding character stems from plaintext. A leading space is removed
|
|
233
|
5825 if the preceding character stems from another active flag. This will
|
|
7
|
5826 make a nice display when flags are used like in the examples below.
|
|
|
5827
|
|
233
|
5828 When all items in a group becomes an empty string (i.e. flags that are
|
|
7
|
5829 not set) and a minwid is not set for the group, the whole group will
|
|
|
5830 become empty. This will make a group like the following disappear
|
|
|
5831 completely from the statusline when none of the flags are set. >
|
|
|
5832 :set statusline=...%(\ [%M%R%H]%)...
|
|
|
5833 <
|
|
|
5834 Beware that an expression is evaluated each and every time the status
|
|
|
5835 line is displayed. The current buffer and current window will be set
|
|
|
5836 temporarily to that of the window (and buffer) whose statusline is
|
|
233
|
5837 currently being drawn. The expression will evaluate in this context.
|
|
7
|
5838 The variable "actual_curbuf" is set to the 'bufnr()' number of the
|
|
|
5839 real current buffer. The expression is evaluated in the |sandbox|.
|
|
|
5840
|
|
|
5841 If the statusline is not updated when you want it (e.g., after setting
|
|
|
5842 a variable that's used in an expression), you can force an update by
|
|
|
5843 setting an option without changing its value. Example: >
|
|
|
5844 :let &ro = &ro
|
|
|
5845
|
|
|
5846 < A result of all digits is regarded a number for display purposes.
|
|
|
5847 Otherwise the result is taken as flag text and applied to the rules
|
|
|
5848 described above.
|
|
|
5849
|
|
199
|
5850 Watch out for errors in expressions. They may render Vim unusable!
|
|
7
|
5851 If you are stuck, hold down ':' or 'Q' to get a prompt, then quit and
|
|
|
5852 edit your .vimrc or whatever with "vim -u NONE" to get it right.
|
|
|
5853
|
|
|
5854 Examples:
|
|
|
5855 Emulate standard status line with 'ruler' set >
|
|
|
5856 :set statusline=%<%f\ %h%m%r%=%-14.(%l,%c%V%)\ %P

|
|

5875 global
|
|

5876 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
5877 Files with these suffixes get a lower priority when multiple files
|
|
|
5878 match a wildcard. See |suffixes|. Commas can be used to separate the
|
|
10
|
5879 suffixes. Spaces after the comma are ignored. A dot is also seen as
|
|
|
5880 the start of a suffix. To avoid a dot or comma being recognized as a
|
|
7
|
5881 separator, precede it with a backslash (see |option-backslash| about
|
|
|
5882 including spaces and backslashes).
|
|
|
5883 See 'wildignore' for completely ignoring files.
|
|
|
5884 The use of |:set+=| and |:set-=| is preferred when adding or removing
|
|
|
5885 suffixes from the list. This avoids problems when a future version
|
|
|
5886 uses another default.
|
|
|
5887
|
|
|
5888 *'suffixesadd'* *'sua'*

5898 *'swapfile'* *'swf'* *'noswapfile'* *'noswf'*
|
|
|
5899 'swapfile' 'swf' boolean (default on)
|
|
|
5900 local to buffer
|
|
|
5901 {not in Vi}
|
|
10
|
5902 Use a swapfile for the buffer. This option can be reset when a
|
|
7
|
5903 swapfile is not wanted for a specific buffer. For example, with
|
|
|
5904 confidential information that even root must not be able to access.
|
|
|
5905 Careful: All text will be in memory:
|
|
|
5906 - Don't use this for big files.
|
|
|
5907 - Recovery will be impossible!
|
|
|
5908 A swapfile will only be present when |'updatecount'| is non-zero and
|
|
|
5909 'swapfile' is set.
|
|
|
5910 When 'swapfile' is reset, the swap file for the current buffer is
|
|
|
5911 immediately deleted. When 'swapfile' is set, and 'updatecount' is
|
|
|
5912 non-zero, a swap file is immediately created.
|
|
|
5913 Also see |swap-file| and |'swapsync'|.
|
|
|
5914
|
|
|
5915 This option is used together with 'bufhidden' and 'buftype' to
|
|
|
5916 specify special kinds of buffers. See |special-buffers|.
|
|
|
5917
|
|
|
5918 *'swapsync'* *'sws'*
|
|
|
5919 'swapsync' 'sws' string (default "fsync")
|
|
|
5920 global
|
|
|
5921 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
5922 When this option is not empty a swap file is synced to disk after
|
|
10
|
5923 writing to it. This takes some time, especially on busy unix systems.
|
|
7
|
5924 When this option is empty parts of the swap file may be in memory and
|
|
|
5925 not written to disk. When the system crashes you may lose more work.
|
|
|
5926 On Unix the system does a sync now and then without Vim asking for it,
|
|
|
5927 so the disadvantage of setting this option off is small. On some
|
|
|
5928 systems the swap file will not be written at all. For a unix system
|
|
|
5929 setting it to "sync" will use the sync() call instead of the default
|
|
|
5930 fsync(), which may work better on some systems.
|
|
36
|
5931 The 'fsync' option is used for the actual file.

5932

5933 *'switchbuf'* *'swb'*

|
|
5934 'switchbuf' 'swb' string (default "")

5935 global

|
5936 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
5937 This option controls the behavior when switching between buffers.
|
|
|
5938 Possible values (comma separated list):
|
|
|
5939 useopen If included, jump to the first open window that
|
|
|
5940 contains the specified buffer (if there is one).
|
|
|
5941 Otherwise: Do not examine other windows.
|
|
|
5942 This setting is checked with |quickfix| commands, when
|
|
|
5943 jumping to errors (":cc", ":cn", "cp", etc.). It is
|
|
|
5944 also used in all buffer related split commands, for
|
|
|
5945 example ":sbuffer", ":sbnext", or ":sbrewind".
|
|
|
5946 split If included, split the current window before loading
|
|
233
|
5947 a buffer. Otherwise: do not split, use current window.
|
|
7
|
5948 Supported in |quickfix| commands that display errors.

|
5950 *'syntax'* *'syn'*
|
|
|
5951 'syntax' 'syn' string (default empty)
|
|
|
5952 local to buffer
|
|
|
5953 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
5954 {not available when compiled without the |+syntax|
|
|
|
5955 feature}
|
|
|
5956 When this option is set, the syntax with this name is loaded, unless
|
|
|
5957 syntax highlighting has been switched off with ":syntax off".
|
|
|
5958 Otherwise this option does not always reflect the current syntax (the
|
|
|
5959 b:current_syntax variable does).
|
|
|
5960 This option is most useful in a modeline, for a file which syntax is
|
|
|
5961 not automatically recognized. Example, for in an IDL file: >
|
|
|
5962 /* vim: set syntax=idl : */
|
|
|
5963 < To switch off syntax highlighting for the current file, use: >
|
|
|
5964 :set syntax=OFF
|
|
|
5965 < To switch syntax highlighting on according to the current value of the
|
|
|
5966 'filetype' option: >
|
|
|
5967 :set syntax=ON
|
|
|
5968 < What actually happens when setting the 'syntax' option is that the
|
|
|
5969 Syntax autocommand event is triggered with the value as argument.
|
|
|
5970 This option is not copied to another buffer, independent of the 's' or
|
|
|
5971 'S' flag in 'cpoptions'.
|
|
36
|
5972 Only normal file name characters can be used, "/\*?[|<>" are illegal.
|
|
7
|
5973
|
|
|
5974 *'tabstop'* *'ts'*
|
|
|
5975 'tabstop' 'ts' number (default 8)
|
|
|
5976 local to buffer
|
|
|
5977 Number of spaces that a <Tab> in the file counts for. Also see
|
|
|
5978 |:retab| command, and 'softtabstop' option.
|
|
|
5979
|
|
|
5980 Note: Setting 'tabstop' to any other value than 8 can make your file
|
|
|
5981 appear wrong in many places (e.g., when printing it).
|
|
|
5982
|
|
|
5983 There are four main ways to use tabs in Vim:
|
|
|
5984 1. Always keep 'tabstop' at 8, set 'softtabstop' and 'shiftwidth' to 4
|
|
|
5985 (or 3 or whatever you prefer) and use 'noexpandtab'. Then Vim
|
|
|
5986 will use a mix of tabs and spaces, but typing Tab and BS will
|
|
|
5987 behave like a tab appears every 4 (or 3) characters.
|
|
|
5988 2. Set 'tabstop' and 'shiftwidth' to whatever you prefer and use
|
|
|
5989 'expandtab'. This way you will always insert spaces. The
|
|
|
5990 formatting will never be messed up when 'tabstop' is changed.
|
|
|
5991 3. Set 'tabstop' and 'shiftwidth' to whatever you prefer and use a
|
|
10
|
5992 |modeline| to set these values when editing the file again. Only
|
|
7
|
5993 works when using Vim to edit the file.
|
|
|
5994 4. Always set 'tabstop' and 'shiftwidth' to the same value, and
|
|
|
5995 'noexpandtab'. This should then work (for initial indents only)
|
|
|
5996 for any tabstop setting that people use. It might be nice to have
|
|
|
5997 tabs after the first non-blank inserted as spaces if you do this
|
|
|
5998 though. Otherwise aligned comments will be wrong when 'tabstop' is
|
|
|
5999 changed.

6001 *'tagbsearch'* *'tbs'* *'notagbsearch'* *'notbs'*
|
|
|
6002 'tagbsearch' 'tbs' boolean (default on)
|
|
|
6003 global
|
|
|
6004 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
6005 When searching for a tag (e.g., for the |:ta| command), Vim can either
|
|
10
|
6006 use a binary search or a linear search in a tags file. Binary
|
|
7
|
6007 searching makes searching for a tag a LOT faster, but a linear search
|
|
|
6008 will find more tags if the tags file wasn't properly sorted.
|
|
|
6009 Vim normally assumes that your tags files are sorted, or indicate that
|
|
|
6010 they are not sorted. Only when this is not the case does the
|
|
|
6011 'tagbsearch' option need to be switched off.
|
|
|
6012
|
|
|
6013 When 'tagbsearch' is on, binary searching is first used in the tags
|
|
10
|
6014 files. In certain situations, Vim will do a linear search instead for
|
|
7
|
6015 certain files, or retry all files with a linear search. When
|
|
|
6016 'tagbsearch' is off, only a linear search is done.
|
|
|
6017
|
|
|
6018 Linear searching is done anyway, for one file, when Vim finds a line
|
|
|
6019 at the start of the file indicating that it's not sorted: >
|
|
|
6020 !_TAG_FILE_SORTED 0 /some command/
|
|
|
6021 < [The whitespace before and after the '0' must be a single <Tab>]
|
|
|
6022
|
|
|
6023 When a binary search was done and no match was found in any of the
|
|
|
6024 files listed in 'tags', and 'ignorecase' is set or a pattern is used
|
|
|
6025 instead of a normal tag name, a retry is done with a linear search.
|
|
|
6026 Tags in unsorted tags files, and matches with different case will only
|
|
|
6027 be found in the retry.
|
|
|
6028
|
|
22
|
6029 If a tag file indicates that it is case-fold sorted, the second,
|
|
7
|
6030 linear search can be avoided for the 'ignorecase' case. Use a value
|
|
|
6031 of '2' in the "!_TAG_FILE_SORTED" line for this. A tag file can be
|
|
|
6032 case-fold sorted with the -f switch to "sort" in most unices, as in
|
|
|
6033 the command: "sort -f -o tags tags". For "Exuberant ctags" version
|
|
|
6034 5.3 or higher the -f or --fold-case-sort switch can be used for this
|
|
|
6035 as well. Note that case must be folded to uppercase for this to work.
|
|
|
6036
|
|
|
6037 When 'tagbsearch' is off, tags searching is slower when a full match
|
|
|
6038 exists, but faster when no full match exists. Tags in unsorted tags
|
|
|
6039 files may only be found with 'tagbsearch' off.
|
|
|
6040 When the tags file is not sorted, or sorted in a wrong way (not on
|
|
|
6041 ASCII byte value), 'tagbsearch' should be off, or the line given above
|
|
|
6042 must be included in the tags file.
|
|
|
6043 This option doesn't affect commands that find all matching tags (e.g.,
|
|
|
6044 command-line completion and ":help").

|
|
|
6068 When a file name starts with "./", the '.' is replaced with the path
|
|

6090 tagstack. A following ":tag" without an argument, a ":pop" command or

|
6091 any other command that uses the tagstack will use the unmodified

6122 The terminal is in charge of Bi-directionality of text (as specified
|
|
|
6123 by Unicode). The terminal is also expected to do the required shaping
|
|
|
6124 that some languages (such as Arabic) require.
|
|
|
6125 Setting this option implies that 'rightleft' will not be set when
|
|
|
6126 'arabic' is set and the value of 'arabicshape' will be ignored.
|
|
|
6127 Note that setting 'termbidi' has the immediate effect that
|
|
|
6128 'arabicshape' is ignored, but 'rightleft' isn't changed automatically.
|
|
|
6129 This option is reset when the GUI is started.

6139 Encoding used for the terminal. This specifies what character
|
|
|
6140 encoding the keyboard produces and the display will understand. For
|
|
|
6141 the GUI it only applies to the keyboard ('encoding' is used for the
|
|
|
6142 display).
|
|
|
6143 In the Win32 console version the default value is the console codepage
|
|
|
6144 when it differs from the ANSI codepage.
|
|
|
6145 *E617*
|
|
|
6146 Note: This does not apply to the GTK+ 2 GUI. After the GUI has been
|
|
|
6147 successfully initialized, 'termencoding' is forcibly set to "utf-8".
|
|
|
6148 Any attempts to set a different value will be rejected, and an error
|
|
|
6149 message is shown.
|
|
|
6150 For the Win32 GUI 'termencoding' is not used for typed characters,
|
|
|
6151 because the Win32 system always passes Unicode characters.
|
|
|
6152 When empty, the same encoding is used as for the 'encoding' option.
|
|
|
6153 This is the normal value.
|
|
|
6154 Not all combinations for 'termencoding' and 'encoding' are valid. See
|
|
|
6155 |encoding-table|.
|
|
|
6156 The value for this option must be supported by internal conversions or
|
|
|
6157 iconv(). When this is not possible no conversion will be done and you
|
|
|
6158 will probably experience problems with non-ASCII characters.
|
|
|
6159 Example: You are working with the locale set to euc-jp (Japanese) and
|
|
|
6160 want to edit a UTF-8 file: >
|
|
|
6161 :let &termencoding = &encoding
|

6218 name. See |option-backslash| about using backslashes.
|
|
|
6219 The use of |:set+=| and |:set-=| is preferred when adding or removing

6235 'ttimeout' boolean (default off)
|
|
|
6236 global
|
|
|
6237 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
6238 These two options together determine the behavior when part of a
|
|
|
6239 mapped key sequence or keyboard code has been received:
|
|
|
6240
|
|
|
6241 'timeout' 'ttimeout' action ~
|
|
|
6242 off off do not time out
|
|
|
6243 on on or off time out on :mappings and key codes
|
|
|
6244 off on time out on key codes
|
|
|
6245
|
|
|
6246 If both options are off, Vim will wait until either the complete
|
|
|
6247 mapping or key sequence has been received, or it is clear that there
|
|
|
6248 is no mapping or key sequence for the received characters. For
|
|
|
6249 example: if you have mapped "vl" and Vim has received 'v', the next
|
|
|
6250 character is needed to see if the 'v' is followed by an 'l'.
|
|
|
6251 When one of the options is on, Vim will wait for about 1 second for
|
|
|
6252 the next character to arrive. After that the already received
|
|
|
6253 characters are interpreted as single characters. The waiting time can
|
|
|
6254 be changed with the 'timeoutlen' option.
|
|
|
6255 On slow terminals or very busy systems timing out may cause
|
|
|
6256 malfunctioning cursor keys. If both options are off, Vim waits
|
|
|
6257 forever after an entered <Esc> if there are key codes that start
|
|
|
6258 with <Esc>. You will have to type <Esc> twice. If you do not have
|
|
|
6259 problems with key codes, but would like to have :mapped key
|
|
|
6260 sequences not timing out in 1 second, set the 'ttimeout' option and
|
|
|
6261 reset the 'timeout' option.
|
|
|
6262
|
|
|
6263 NOTE: 'ttimeout' is reset when 'compatible' is set.
|
|
|
6264
|
|
|
6265 *'timeoutlen'* *'tm'*
|
|
|
6266 'timeoutlen' 'tm' number (default 1000)
|
|
|
6267 global
|
|
|
6268 {not in all versions of Vi}
|
|
|
6269 *'ttimeoutlen'* *'ttm'*
|
|
|
6270 'ttimeoutlen' 'ttm' number (default -1)
|
|
|
6271 global
|
|
|
6272 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
6273 The time in milliseconds that is waited for a key code or mapped key
|
|
|
6274 sequence to complete. Also used for CTRL-\ CTRL-N and CTRL-\ CTRL-G
|
|
|
6275 when part of a command has been typed.
|
|
|
6276 Normally only 'timeoutlen' is used and 'ttimeoutlen' is -1. When a
|
|
|
6277 different timeout value for key codes is desired set 'ttimeoutlen' to
|
|
|
6278 a non-negative number.
|
|
|
6279
|
|
|
6280 ttimeoutlen mapping delay key code delay ~
|
|
|
6281 < 0 'timeoutlen' 'timeoutlen'
|
|
|
6282 >= 0 'timeoutlen' 'ttimeoutlen'
|
|
|
6283
|
|
|
6284 The timeout only happens when the 'timeout' and 'ttimeout' options
|
|
|
6285 tell so. A useful setting would be >
|
|
|
6286 :set timeout timeoutlen=3000 ttimeoutlen=100
|
|
|
6287 < (time out on mapping after three seconds, time out on key codes after
|
|
|
6288 a tenth of a second).

|
|
6289

|
|
6290 *'title'* *'notitle'*

|
|
|
6294 {not available when compiled without the |+title|

6295 feature}
|
|
|
6296 When on, the title of the window will be set to the value of
|
|
|
6297 'titlestring' (if it is not empty), or to:
|
|
|
6298 filename [+=-] (path) - VIM
|
|
|
6299 Where:
|
|
|
6300 filename the name of the file being edited
|
|
|
6301 - indicates the file cannot be modified, 'ma' off
|
|
|
6302 + indicates the file was modified
|
|
|
6303 = indicates the file is read-only
|
|
|
6304 =+ indicates the file is read-only and modified
|
|
|
6305 (path) is the path of the file being edited
|
|
|
6306 - VIM the server name |v:servername| or "VIM"
|
|
|
6307 Only works if the terminal supports setting window titles
|
|
|
6308 (currently Amiga console, Win32 console, all GUI versions and
|
|
|
6309 terminals with a non- empty 't_ts' option - these are Unix xterm and
|
|
|
6310 iris-ansi by default, where 't_ts' is taken from the builtin termcap).
|
|
|
6311 *X11*
|
|
|
6312 When Vim was compiled with HAVE_X11 defined, the original title will
|
|
|
6313 be restored if possible. The output of ":version" will include "+X11"
|
|
|
6314 when HAVE_X11 was defined, otherwise it will be "-X11". This also
|
|
|
6315 works for the icon name |'icon'|.
|
|
|
6316 But: When Vim was started with the |-X| argument, restoring the title
|
|
|
6317 will not work (except in the GUI).
|
|
|
6318 If the title cannot be restored, it is set to the value of 'titleold'.
|
|
|
6319 You might want to restore the title outside of Vim then.
|
|
|
6320 When using an xterm from a remote machine you can use this command:
|
|
|
6321 rsh machine_name xterm -display $DISPLAY &
|
|
|
6322 then the WINDOWID environment variable should be inherited and the
|
|
|
6323 title of the window should change back to what it should be after
|
|
|
6324 exiting Vim.
|
|
|
6325
|
|
|
6326 *'titlelen'*
|
|
|
6327 'titlelen' number (default 85)

|
|
|
6330 {not available when compiled without the |+title|

6331 feature}
|
|
|
6332 Gives the percentage of 'columns' to use for the length of the window
|
|
10
|
6333 title. When the title is longer, only the end of the path name is
|
|
|
6334 shown. A '<' character before the path name is used to indicate this.
|
|
7
|
6335 Using a percentage makes this adapt to the width of the window. But
|
|
|
6336 it won't work perfectly, because the actual number of characters
|
|
|
6337 available also depends on the font used and other things in the title
|
|
|
6338 bar. When 'titlelen' is zero the full path is used. Otherwise,
|
|
|
6339 values from 1 to 30000 percent can be used.
|
|
|
6340 'titlelen' is also used for the 'titlestring' option.
|

6341

6350 'titlestring' is not empty.

6359 When this option is not empty, it will be used for the title of the
|
|
|
6360 window. This happens only when the 'title' option is on.
|
|
|
6361 Only works if the terminal supports setting window titles (currently
|

6364 When Vim was compiled with HAVE_X11 defined, the original title will
|
|
|
6365 be restored if possible |X11|.
|
|
|
6366 When this option contains printf-style '%' items, they will be
|
|
|
6367 expanded according to the rules used for 'statusline'.

6368 Example: >
|
|
|
6369 :auto BufEnter * let &titlestring = hostname() . "/" . expand("%:p")
|
|
|
6370 :set title titlestring=%<%F%=%l/%L-%P titlelen=70
|
|
|
6371 < The value of 'titlelen' is used to align items in the middle or right
|
|
|
6372 of the available space.
|
|
|
6373 Some people prefer to have the file name first: >
|
|
|
6374 :set titlestring=%t%(\ %M%)%(\ (%{expand(\"%:~:.:h\")})%)%(\ %a%)
|
|
|
6375 < Note the use of "%{ }" and an expression to get the path of the file,
|
|
10
|
6376 without the file name. The "%( %)" constructs are used to add a
|
|
7
|
6377 separating space only when needed.
|
|
|
6378 NOTE: Use of special characters in 'titlestring' may cause the display
|
|
|
6379 to be garbled (e.g., when it contains a CR or NL character).

6417 medium Use medium-sized toolbar icons.
|
|
|
6418 large Use large toolbar icons.
|
|
|
6419 The exact dimensions in pixels of the various icon sizes depend on
|
|
|
6420 the current theme. Common dimensions are large=32x32, medium=24x24,
|
|
|
6421 small=20x20 and tiny=16x16.
|
|
|
6422
|
|
|
6423 If 'toolbariconsize' is empty, the global default size as determined
|
|
|
6424 by user preferences or the current theme is used.
|

6425
|
|
|
6426 *'ttybuiltin'* *'tbi'* *'nottybuiltin'* *'notbi'*
|
|
|
6427 'ttybuiltin' 'tbi' boolean (default on)
|
|
|
6428 global
|
|
|
6429 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
6430 When on, the builtin termcaps are searched before the external ones.
|
|
|
6431 When off the builtin termcaps are searched after the external ones.
|
|
|
6432 When this option is changed, you should set the 'term' option next for
|
|
|
6433 the change to take effect, for example: >
|
|
|
6434 :set notbi term=$TERM
|
|
|
6435 < See also |termcap|.
|
|
|
6436 Rationale: The default for this option is "on", because the builtin
|
|
|
6437 termcap entries are generally better (many systems contain faulty
|
|
|
6438 xterm entries...).
|
|
|
6439
|
|
|
6440 *'ttyfast'* *'tf'* *'nottyfast'* *'notf'*

6441 'ttyfast' 'tf' boolean (default off, on when 'term' is xterm, hpterm,
|
|
|
6442 sun-cmd, screen, rxvt, dtterm or
|
|
|
6443 iris-ansi; also on when running Vim in

6447 Indicates a fast terminal connection. More characters will be sent to
|
|
|
6448 the screen for redrawing, instead of using insert/delete line
|
|
|
6449 commands. Improves smoothness of redrawing when there are multiple
|
|
|
6450 windows and the terminal does not support a scrolling region.
|
|
|
6451 Also enables the extra writing of characters at the end of each screen
|
|
|
6452 line for lines that wrap. This helps when using copy/paste with the
|
|
|
6453 mouse in an xterm and other terminals.
|
|
|
6454
|
|
|
6455 *'ttymouse'* *'ttym'*
|
|
|
6456 'ttymouse' 'ttym' string (default depends on 'term')
|
|
|
6457 global
|
|
|
6458 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
6459 {only in Unix and VMS, doesn't work in the GUI; not
|
|
|
6460 available when compiled without |+mouse|}
|
|
|
6461 Name of the terminal type for which mouse codes are to be recognized.
|
|
|
6462 Currently these three strings are valid:
|
|
|
6463 *xterm-mouse*
|
|
|
6464 xterm xterm-like mouse handling. The mouse generates
|
|
|
6465 "<Esc>[Mscr", where "scr" is three bytes:
|
|
|
6466 "s" = button state
|
|
|
6467 "c" = column plus 33
|
|
|
6468 "r" = row plus 33
|
|
189
|
6469 This only works up to 223 columns! See "dec" for a
|
|
|
6470 solution.
|
|
7
|
6471 xterm2 Works like "xterm", but with the xterm reporting the
|
|
|
6472 mouse position while the mouse is dragged. This works
|
|
|
6473 much faster and more precise. Your xterm must at
|
|
180
|
6474 least at patchlevel 88 / XFree 3.3.3 for this to
|
|
7
|
6475 work. See below for how Vim detects this
|
|
|
6476 automatically.
|
|
|
6477 *netterm-mouse*
|
|
|
6478 netterm NetTerm mouse handling. The mouse generates
|
|
|
6479 "<Esc>}r,c<CR>", where "r,c" are two decimal numbers
|
|
|
6480 for the row and column.
|
|
|
6481 *dec-mouse*
|
|
|
6482 dec DEC terminal mouse handling. The mouse generates a
|
|
|
6483 rather complex sequence, starting with "<Esc>[".
|
|
189
|
6484 This is also available for an Xterm, if it was
|
|
|
6485 configured with "--enable-dec-locator".
|
|
7
|
6486 *jsbterm-mouse*
|
|
|
6487 jsbterm JSB term mouse handling.
|
|
|
6488 *pterm-mouse*
|
|
|
6489 pterm QNX pterm mouse handling.
|
|
|
6490
|
|
|
6491 The mouse handling must be enabled at compile time |+mouse_xterm|
|
|
|
6492 |+mouse_dec| |+mouse_netterm|.
|
|
|
6493 Only "xterm"(2) is really recognized. NetTerm mouse codes are always
|
|
|
6494 recognized, if enabled at compile time. DEC terminal mouse codes
|
|
|
6495 are recognized if enabled at compile time, and 'ttymouse' is not
|
|
|
6496 "xterm" (because the xterm and dec mouse codes conflict).
|
|
|
6497 This option is automatically set to "xterm", when the 'term' option is
|
|
|
6498 set to a name that starts with "xterm", and 'ttymouse' is not "xterm"
|
|
|
6499 or "xterm2" already. The main use of this option is to set it to
|
|
|
6500 "xterm", when the terminal name doesn't start with "xterm", but it can
|
|
|
6501 handle xterm mouse codes.
|
|
|
6502 The "xterm2" value will be set if the xterm version is reported to be
|
|
|
6503 95 of higher. This only works when compiled with the |+termresponse|
|
|
|
6504 feature and if |t_RV| is set to the escape sequence to request the
|
|
|
6505 xterm version number. Otherwise "xterm2" must be set explicitly.
|
|
|
6506 If you do not want 'ttymouse' to be set to "xterm2" automatically, set
|
|
|
6507 t_RV to an empty string: >
|
|
|
6508 :set t_RV=
|
|
|
6509 <
|
|
|
6510 *'ttyscroll'* *'tsl'*
|
|
|
6511 'ttyscroll' 'tsl' number (default 999)
|
|
|
6512 global
|
|
|
6513 Maximum number of lines to scroll the screen. If there are more lines
|
|
|
6514 to scroll the window is redrawn. For terminals where scrolling is
|
|
|
6515 very slow and redrawing is not slow this can be set to a small number,
|
|
|
6516 e.g., 3, to speed up displaying.
|
|
|
6517
|
|
|
6518 *'ttytype'* *'tty'*
|
|
|
6519 'ttytype' 'tty' string (default from $TERM)
|
|
|
6520 global
|
|
|
6521 Alias for 'term', see above.

|
|
6522
|
|
|
6523 *'undolevels'* *'ul'*
|
|
|
6524 'undolevels' 'ul' number (default 100, 1000 for Unix, VMS,
|
|
|
6525 Win32 and OS/2)
|
|
|
6526 global
|
|
|
6527 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
6528 Maximum number of changes that can be undone. Since undo information
|
|
|
6529 is kept in memory, higher numbers will cause more memory to be used
|
|
|
6530 (nevertheless, a single change can use an unlimited amount of memory).
|
|
|
6531 Set to 0 for Vi compatibility: One level of undo and "u" undoes
|
|
|
6532 itself: >
|
|
|
6533 set ul=0
|
|
|
6534 < But you can also get Vi compatibility by including the 'u' flag in
|
|
|
6535 'cpoptions', and still be able to use CTRL-R to repeat undo.
|
|
|
6536 Set to a negative number for no undo at all: >
|
|
|
6537 set ul=-1
|
|
|
6538 < This helps when you run out of memory for a single change.
|
|
|
6539 Also see |undo-two-ways|.

|
|
6541 *'updatecount'* *'uc'*

6542 'updatecount' 'uc' number (default: 200)
|
|
|
6543 global
|
|
|
6544 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
6545 After typing this many characters the swap file will be written to
|
|
|
6546 disk. When zero, no swap file will be created at all (see chapter on
|
|
|
6547 recovery |crash-recovery|). 'updatecount' is set to zero by starting
|
|
|
6548 Vim with the "-n" option, see |startup|. When editing in readonly
|
|
|
6549 mode this option will be initialized to 10000.
|
|
|
6550 The swapfile can be disabled per buffer with |'swapfile'|.
|
|
|
6551 When 'updatecount' is set from zero to non-zero, swap files are
|
|
|
6552 created for all buffers that have 'swapfile' set. When 'updatecount'
|
|
|
6553 is set to zero, existing swap files are not deleted.
|
|
|
6554 Also see |'swapsync'|.
|
|
|
6555 This option has no meaning in buffers where |'buftype'| is "nofile"
|
|
|
6556 or "nowrite".
|
|
|
6557
|
|
|
6558 *'updatetime'* *'ut'*

|
6559 'updatetime' 'ut' number (default 4000)
|
|
|
6560 global
|
|
|
6561 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
6562 If this many milliseconds nothing is typed the swap file will be
|
|
|
6563 written to disk (see |crash-recovery|). Also used for the
|
|
|
6564 |CursorHold| autocommand event.
|
|
|
6565
|
|
|
6566 *'verbose'* *'vbs'*

|
|
6569 {not in Vi, although some versions have a boolean
|
|
|
6570 verbose option}
|
|
|
6571 When bigger than zero, Vim will give messages about what it is doing.
|
|
|
6572 Currently, these messages are given:
|
|
|
6573 >= 1 When the viminfo file is read or written.
|
|
|
6574 >= 2 When a file is ":source"'ed.
|
|
|
6575 >= 5 Every searched tags file.
|
|
|
6576 >= 8 Files for which a group of autocommands is executed.
|
|
|
6577 >= 9 Every executed autocommand.
|
|
|
6578 >= 12 Every executed function.
|
|
|
6579 >= 13 When an exception is thrown, caught, finished, or discarded.
|
|
|
6580 >= 14 Anything pending in a ":finally" clause.
|
|
|
6581 >= 15 Every executed Ex command (truncated at 200 characters).
|
|
|
6582
|
|
|
6583 This option can also be set with the "-V" argument. See |-V|.
|
|
|
6584 This option is also set by the |:verbose| command.
|
|
|
6585
|
|
293
|
6586 When the 'verbosefile' option is set then the verbose messages are not
|
|
|
6587 displayed.
|
|
|
6588
|
|
|
6589 *'verbosefile'* *'vfile'*

|
|
6591 global

6592 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
6593 When not empty all messages are written in a file with this name.
|
|
|
6594 When the file exists messages are appended.
|
|
|
6595 Writing to the file ends when Vim exits or when 'verbosefile' is made
|
|
|
6596 empty.
|
|
|
6597 Setting 'verbosefile' to a new value is like making it empty first.
|
|
|
6598 The difference with |:redir| is that verbose messages are not
|
|
|
6599 displayed when 'verbosefile' is set.

6752 Virtual editing means that the cursor can be positioned where there is
|
|
|
6753 no actual character. This can be halfway into a Tab or beyond the end
|

6764 Note: When the GUI starts, 't_vb' is reset to its default value. You
|
|
|
6765 might want to set it again in your |gvimrc|.
|
|
|
6766 In the GUI, 't_vb' defaults to "<Esc>|f", which inverts the display
|
|
|
6767 for 20 msec. If you want to use a different time, use "<Esc>|40f",

6791 Allow specified keys that move the cursor left/right to move to the
|
|
|
6792 previous/next line when the cursor is on the first/last character in
|
|

6793 the line. Concatenate characters to allow this for these keys:
|
|
|
6794 char key mode ~
|
|
|
6795 b <BS> Normal and Visual
|
|
|
6796 s <Space> Normal and Visual
|
|
|
6797 h "h" Normal and Visual
|
|
|
6798 l "l" Normal and Visual
|
|
|
6799 < <Left> Normal and Visual
|

6804 For example: >
|
|
|
6805 :set ww=<,>,[,]
|
|
|
6806 < allows wrap only when cursor keys are used.
|
|
|
6807 When the movement keys are used in combination with a delete or change
|
|
|
6808 operator, the <EOL> also counts for a character. This makes "3h"
|
|
|
6809 different from "3dh" when the cursor crosses the end of a line. This
|
|
|
6810 is also true for "x" and "X", because they do the same as "dl" and
|
|
|
6811 "dh". If you use this, you may also want to use the mapping
|
|
|
6812 ":map <BS> X" to make backspace delete the character in front of the
|
|
|
6813 cursor.
|
|
|
6814 When 'l' is included, you get a side effect: "yl" on an empty line
|
|
|
6815 will include the <EOL>, so that "p" will insert a new line.
|
|
|
6816 NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is
|
|

6827 Although 'wc' is a number option, you can set it to a special key: >

6828 :set wc=<Esc>
|
|
|
6829 < NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is

6836 'wildcharm' works exactly like 'wildchar', except that it is
|
|
233
|
6837 recognized when used inside a macro. You can find "spare" command-line
|
|
|
6838 keys suitable for this option by looking at |ex-edit-index|. Normally
|
|
7
|
6839 you'll never actually type 'wildcharm', just use it in mappings that
|
|
|
6840 automatically invoke completion mode, e.g.: >
|
|
|
6841 :set wcm=<C-Z>
|
|
|
6842 :cmap ss so $vim/sessions/*.vim<C-Z>

6866 feature}
|
|

6867 When 'wildmenu' is on, command-line completion operates in an enhanced
|
|
|
6868 mode. On pressing 'wildchar' (usually <Tab>) to invoke completion,
|
|
|
6869 the possible matches are shown just above the command line, with the
|
|
|
6870 first match highlighted (overwriting the status line, if there is
|
|
|
6871 one). Keys that show the previous/next match, such as <Tab> or
|
|
|
6872 CTRL-P/CTRL-N, cause the highlight to move to the appropriate match.
|
|
|
6873 When 'wildmode' is used, "wildmenu" mode is used where "full" is
|
|
|
6874 specified. "longest" and "list" do not start "wildmenu" mode.
|
|
|
6875 If there are more matches than can fit in the line, a ">" is shown on
|
|
|
6876 the right and/or a "<" is shown on the left. The status line scrolls
|
|
|
6877 as needed.
|
|
|
6878 The "wildmenu" mode is abandoned when a key is hit that is not used
|
|
|
6879 for selecting a completion.
|
|
|
6880 While the "wildmenu" is active the following keys have special
|
|
|
6881 meanings:
|
|
|
6882
|
|
|
6883 <Left> <Right> - select previous/next match (like CTRL-P/CTRL-N)
|
|
|
6884 <Down> - in filename/menu name completion: move into a
|
|
|
6885 subdirectory or submenu.
|
|
|
6886 <CR> - in menu completion, when the cursor is just after a
|
|
|
6887 dot: move into a submenu.
|
|
|
6888 <Up> - in filename/menu name completion: move up into
|
|
|
6889 parent directory or parent menu.
|
|
|
6890
|
|
|
6891 This makes the menus accessible from the console |console-menus|.
|
|
|
6892
|
|
|
6893 If you prefer the <Left> and <Right> keys to move the cursor instead
|
|
|
6894 of selecting a different match, use this: >
|
|
|
6895 :cnoremap <Left> <Space><BS><Left>
|
|
|
6896 :cnoremap <Right> <Space><BS><Right>
|
|
|
6897 <

10
|
6906 'wildchar'. It is a comma separated list of up to four parts. Each
|
|
7

6907 part specifies what to do for each consecutive use of 'wildchar. The

6909 The second part for the second use, etc.
|

6910 These are the possible values for each part:
|
|
|
6911 "" Complete only the first match.
|
|
|
6912 "full" Complete the next full match. After the last match,
|
|
|
6913 the original string is used and then the first match
|
|
|
6914 again.
|
|
|
6915 "longest" Complete till longest common string. If this doesn't
|
|
|
6916 result in a longer string, use the next part.
|
|
|
6917 "longest:full" Like "longest", but also start 'wildmenu' if it is

|
|
7028 status bar) if necessary. They will return to at least one line when
|
|
|
7029 they become active (since the cursor has to have somewhere to go.)
|
|
|
7030 Use 'winheight' to set the minimal height of the current window.
|
|
|
7031 This option is only checked when making a window smaller. Don't use a
|
|
|
7032 large number, it will cause errors when opening more than a few
|
|
|
7033 windows. A value of 0 to 3 is reasonable.

|
|
|
7041 The minimal width of a window, when it's not the current window.
|
|
|
7042 This is a hard minimum, windows will never become smaller.
|
|
|
7043 When set to zero, windows may be "squashed" to zero columns (i.e. just
|
|
|
7044 a vertical separator) if necessary. They will return to at least one
|
|
|
7045 line when they become active (since the cursor has to have somewhere
|
|
|
7046 to go.)
|
|

7047 Use 'winwidth' to set the minimal width of the current window.
|
|
|
7048 This option is only checked when making a window smaller. Don't use a

7055 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
7056 {not available when compiled without the +vertsplit
|
|
|
7057 feature}
|
|
|
7058 Minimal number of columns for the current window. This is not a hard
|
|
|
7059 minimum, Vim will use fewer columns if there is not enough room. If
|
|
|
7060 the current window is smaller, its size is increased, at the cost of
|
|
|
7061 the width of other windows. Set it to 999 to make the current window
|
|
|
7062 always fill the screen. Set it to a small number for normal editing.
|
|
|
7063 The width is not adjusted after one of the commands to change the
|
|
|
7064 width of the current window.
|
|
|
7065 'winwidth' applies to the current window. Use 'winminwidth' to set
|
|
|
7066 the minimal width for other windows.

7069 'wrap' boolean (default on)

7070 local to window
|
|
|
7071 {not in Vi}
|
|
|
7072 This option changes how text is displayed. It doesn't change the text
|
|
|
7073 in the buffer, see 'textwidth' for that.
|
|
|
7074 When on, lines longer than the width of the window will wrap and
|
|
10
|
7075 displaying continues on the next line. When off lines will not wrap
|
|
|
7076 and only part of long lines will be displayed. When the cursor is
|
|
7
|
7077 moved to a part that is not shown, the screen will scroll
|
|
|
7078 horizontally.
|
|
|
7079 The line will be broken in the middle of a word if necessary. See
|
|
|
7080 'linebreak' to get the break at a word boundary.
|
|
|
7081 To make scrolling horizontally a bit more useful, try this: >
|
|
|
7082 :set sidescroll=5
|
|
|
7083 :set listchars+=precedes:<,extends:>
|
|
|
7084 < See 'sidescroll', 'listchars' and |wrap-off|.

|
|
|
7087 'wrapmargin' 'wm' number (default 0)
|
|
|
7088 local to buffer
|
|
|
7089 Number of characters from the right window border where wrapping
|
|
|
7090 starts. When typing text beyond this limit, an <EOL> will be inserted
|
|
|
7091 and inserting continues on the next line.
|
|
|
7092 Options that add a margin, such as 'number' and 'foldcolumn', cause
|
|
|
7093 the text width to be further reduced. This is Vi compatible.
|
|
|
7094 When 'textwidth' is non-zero, this option is not used.
|
|
|
7095 See also 'formatoptions' and |ins-textwidth|. {Vi: works differently

7096 and less usefully}

7108 Can be used for a view-only mode, where modifications to the text are
|

10
|
7109 still allowed. Can be reset with the |-m| or |-M| command line
|

7

7111 writing a temporary file.

7123 Make a backup before overwriting a file. The backup is removed after
|
|
|
7124 the file was successfully written, unless the 'backup' option is
|
|
|
7125 also on. Reset this option if your file system is almost full. See
|
|
|
7126 |backup-table| for another explanation.
|
|
|
7127 When the 'backupskip' pattern matches, a backup is not made anyway.

7129 set.
