448aef880252 normalize line endings Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> parents: 32590 diff changeset	18 The ":messages" command can be used to view previously given messages. This
448aef880252 normalize line endings Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> parents: 32590 diff changeset	19 is especially useful when messages have been overwritten or truncated. This

448aef880252 normalize line endings Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> parents: 32590 diff changeset	35 The "g<" command can be used to see the last page of previous command output.
448aef880252 normalize line endings Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> parents: 32590 diff changeset	36 This is especially useful if you accidentally typed <Space> at the hit-enter
448aef880252 normalize line endings Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> parents: 32590 diff changeset	37 prompt. You are then back at the hit-enter prompt and can then scroll further

448aef880252 normalize line endings Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> parents: 32590 diff changeset	41 The previous command output is cleared when another command produces output.

448aef880252 normalize line endings Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> parents: 32590 diff changeset	160 Or tell it to limit to a certain number of colors (64 should work well):
448aef880252 normalize line endings Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> parents: 32590 diff changeset	161 netscape -ncols 64 ~
448aef880252 normalize line endings Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> parents: 32590 diff changeset	162 This can also be done with a line in your Xdefaults file:

448aef880252 normalize line endings Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> parents: 32590 diff changeset	222 - 'makeef' has a wrong value.

448aef880252 normalize line endings Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> parents: 32590 diff changeset	460 will either have to write the changed buffer (with \|:w\|), or use a command to

448aef880252 normalize line endings Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> parents: 32590 diff changeset	484 is consuming your memory. Be careful! Vim is not completely prepared for an
448aef880252 normalize line endings Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> parents: 32590 diff changeset	485 out-of-memory situation. First make sure that any changes are saved. Then
448aef880252 normalize line endings Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> parents: 32590 diff changeset	486 try to solve the memory shortage. To stay on the safe side, exit Vim and
448aef880252 normalize line endings Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> parents: 32590 diff changeset	487 start again.

448aef880252 normalize line endings Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> parents: 32590 diff changeset	489 If this happens while Vim is still initializing, editing files is very
448aef880252 normalize line endings Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> parents: 32590 diff changeset	490 unlikely to work, therefore Vim will exit with value 123.

448aef880252 normalize line endings Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> parents: 32590 diff changeset	492 Buffers are only partly kept in memory, thus editing a very large file is
448aef880252 normalize line endings Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> parents: 32590 diff changeset	493 unlikely to cause an out-of-memory situation. Undo information is completely
448aef880252 normalize line endings Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> parents: 32590 diff changeset	494 in memory, you can reduce that with these options:
448aef880252 normalize line endings Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> parents: 32590 diff changeset	495 - 'undolevels' Set to a low value, or to -1 to disable undo completely. This
448aef880252 normalize line endings Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> parents: 32590 diff changeset	496 helps for a change that affects all lines.
448aef880252 normalize line endings Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> parents: 32590 diff changeset	497 - 'undoreload' Set to zero to disable.

448aef880252 normalize line endings Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> parents: 32590 diff changeset	598 When using a range to write part of a buffer, it is unusual to overwrite the
448aef880252 normalize line endings Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> parents: 32590 diff changeset	599 original file. It is probably a mistake (e.g., when Visual mode was active
448aef880252 normalize line endings Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> parents: 32590 diff changeset	600 when using ":w"), therefore Vim requires using a ! after the command, e.g.:
448aef880252 normalize line endings Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> parents: 32590 diff changeset	601 ":3,10w!".
