| 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 | |
| 20 | |
| 21 ============================================================================== | |
| 523 | 22 1. Setting options *set-option* *E764* |
| 7 | 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 | |
| 2152 | 43 *:set-!* *:set-inv* |
| 7 | 44 :se[t] {option}! or |
| 45 :se[t] inv{option} Toggle option: Invert value. {not in Vi} | |
| 46 | |
| 47 *:set-default* *:set-&* *:set-&vi* *:set-&vim* | |
| 48 :se[t] {option}& Reset option to its default value. May depend on the | |
| 49 current value of 'compatible'. {not in Vi} | |
| 50 :se[t] {option}&vi Reset option to its Vi default value. {not in Vi} | |
| 51 :se[t] {option}&vim Reset option to its Vim default value. {not in Vi} | |
| 52 | |
| 53 :se[t] all& Set all options, except terminal options, to their | |
| 10 | 54 default value. The values of 'term', 'lines' and |
| 7 | 55 'columns' are not changed. {not in Vi} |
| 56 | |
| 57 *:set-args* *E487* *E521* | |
| 58 :se[t] {option}={value} or | |
| 59 :se[t] {option}:{value} | |
| 60 Set string or number option to {value}. | |
| 61 For numeric options the value can be given in decimal, | |
| 62 hex (preceded with 0x) or octal (preceded with '0') | |
| 63 (hex and octal are only available for machines which | |
| 64 have the strtol() function). | |
| 65 The old value can be inserted by typing 'wildchar' (by | |
| 66 default this is a <Tab> or CTRL-E if 'compatible' is | |
| 67 set). See |cmdline-completion|. | |
| 68 White space between {option} and '=' is allowed and | |
| 69 will be ignored. White space between '=' and {value} | |
| 70 is not allowed. | |
| 71 See |option-backslash| for using white space and | |
| 72 backslashes in {value}. | |
| 73 | |
| 74 :se[t] {option}+={value} *:set+=* | |
| 75 Add the {value} to a number option, or append the | |
| 76 {value} to a string option. When the option is a | |
| 77 comma separated list, a comma is added, unless the | |
| 78 value was empty. | |
| 79 If the option is a list of flags, superfluous flags | |
| 557 | 80 are removed. When adding a flag that was already |
| 81 present the option value doesn't change. | |
| 809 | 82 Also see |:set-args| above. |
| 7 | 83 {not in Vi} |
| 84 | |
| 85 :se[t] {option}^={value} *:set^=* | |
| 86 Multiply the {value} to a number option, or prepend | |
| 87 the {value} to a string option. When the option is a | |
| 88 comma separated list, a comma is added, unless the | |
| 89 value was empty. | |
| 90 Also see |:set-args| above. | |
| 91 {not in Vi} | |
| 92 | |
| 93 :se[t] {option}-={value} *:set-=* | |
| 94 Subtract the {value} from a number option, or remove | |
| 95 the {value} from a string option, if it is there. | |
| 96 If the {value} is not found in a string option, there | |
| 97 is no error or warning. When the option is a comma | |
| 98 separated list, a comma is deleted, unless the option | |
| 99 becomes empty. | |
| 100 When the option is a list of flags, {value} must be | |
| 101 exactly as they appear in the option. Remove flags | |
| 102 one by one to avoid problems. | |
| 103 Also see |:set-args| above. | |
| 104 {not in Vi} | |
| 105 | |
| 106 The {option} arguments to ":set" may be repeated. For example: > | |
| 107 :set ai nosi sw=3 ts=3 | |
| 108 If you make an error in one of the arguments, an error message will be given | |
| 109 and the following arguments will be ignored. | |
| 110 | |
| 111 *:set-verbose* | |
| 112 When 'verbose' is non-zero, displaying an option value will also tell where it | |
| 113 was last set. Example: > | |
| 114 :verbose set shiftwidth cindent? | |
| 1621 | 115 < shiftwidth=4 ~ |
| 116 Last set from modeline ~ | |
| 117 cindent ~ | |
| 118 Last set from /usr/local/share/vim/vim60/ftplugin/c.vim ~ | |
| 119 This is only done when specific option values are requested, not for ":verbose | |
| 120 set all" or ":verbose set" without an argument. | |
| 121 When the option was set by hand there is no "Last set" message. | |
| 7 | 122 When the option was set while executing a function, user command or |
| 123 autocommand, the script in which it was defined is reported. | |
| 124 Note that an option may also have been set as a side effect of setting | |
| 125 'compatible'. | |
| 1621 | 126 A few special texts: |
| 127 Last set from modeline ~ | |
| 128 Option was set in a |modeline|. | |
| 129 Last set from --cmd argument ~ | |
| 130 Option was set with command line argument |--cmd| or +. | |
| 131 Last set from -c argument ~ | |
| 132 Option was set with command line argument |-c|, +, |-S| or | |
| 133 |-q|. | |
| 134 Last set from environment variable ~ | |
| 135 Option was set from an environment variable, $VIMINIT, | |
| 136 $GVIMINIT or $EXINIT. | |
| 137 Last set from error handler ~ | |
| 138 Option was cleared when evaluating it resulted in an error. | |
| 139 | |

140 {not available when compiled without the |+eval| feature} |
| 7 | 141 |
| 142 *:set-termcap* *E522* | |
| 667 | 143 For {option} the form "t_xx" may be used to set a terminal option. This will |
| 7 | 144 override the value from the termcap. You can then use it in a mapping. If |
| 145 the "xx" part contains special characters, use the <t_xx> form: > | |
| 146 :set <t_#4>=^[Ot | |
| 147 This can also be used to translate a special code for a normal key. For | |
| 148 example, if Alt-b produces <Esc>b, use this: > | |
| 149 :set <M-b>=^[b | |
| 150 (the ^[ is a real <Esc> here, use CTRL-V <Esc> to enter it) | |
| 151 The advantage over a mapping is that it works in all situations. | |
| 152 | |
| 2726 | 153 You can define any key codes, e.g.: > |
| 154 :set t_xy=^[foo; | |
| 155 There is no warning for using a name that isn't recognized. You can map these | |
| 156 codes as you like: > | |
| 157 :map <t_xy> something | |
| 158 < *E846* | |
| 159 When a key code is not set, it's like it does not exist. Trying to get its | |
| 160 value will result in an error: > | |
| 161 :set t_kb= | |
| 162 :set t_kb | |
| 163 E846: Key code not set: t_kb | |
| 164 | |
| 36 | 165 The t_xx options cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for |
| 166 security reasons. | |
| 167 | |
| 7 | 168 The listing from ":set" looks different from Vi. Long string options are put |
| 10 | 169 at the end of the list. The number of options is quite large. The output of |
| 7 | 170 "set all" probably does not fit on the screen, causing Vim to give the |
| 171 |more-prompt|. | |
| 172 | |
| 173 *option-backslash* | |
| 174 To include white space in a string option value it has to be preceded with a | |
| 175 backslash. To include a backslash you have to use two. Effectively this | |
| 176 means that the number of backslashes in an option value is halved (rounded | |
| 177 down). | |
| 178 A few examples: > | |
| 179 :set tags=tags\ /usr/tags results in "tags /usr/tags" | |
| 180 :set tags=tags\\,file results in "tags\,file" | |
| 181 :set tags=tags\\\ file results in "tags\ file" | |
| 182 | |
| 10 | 183 The "|" character separates a ":set" command from a following command. To |
| 184 include the "|" in the option value, use "\|" instead. This example sets the | |
| 7 | 185 'titlestring' option to "hi|there": > |
| 186 :set titlestring=hi\|there | |
| 187 This sets the 'titlestring' option to "hi" and 'iconstring' to "there": > | |
| 188 :set titlestring=hi|set iconstring=there | |
| 189 | |
| 642 | 190 Similarly, the double quote character starts a comment. To include the '"' in |
| 191 the option value, use '\"' instead. This example sets the 'titlestring' | |
| 192 option to 'hi "there"': > | |
| 193 :set titlestring=hi\ \"there\" | |
| 194 | |
| 10 | 195 For MS-DOS and WIN32 backslashes in file names are mostly not removed. More |
| 7 | 196 precise: For options that expect a file name (those where environment |
| 197 variables are expanded) a backslash before a normal file name character is not | |
| 198 removed. But a backslash before a special character (space, backslash, comma, | |
| 199 etc.) is used like explained above. | |
| 200 There is one special situation, when the value starts with "\\": > | |
| 201 :set dir=\\machine\path results in "\\machine\path" | |
| 202 :set dir=\\\\machine\\path results in "\\machine\path" | |
| 203 :set dir=\\path\\file results in "\\path\file" (wrong!) | |
| 204 For the first one the start is kept, but for the second one the backslashes | |
| 205 are halved. This makes sure it works both when you expect backslashes to be | |
| 10 | 206 halved and when you expect the backslashes to be kept. The third gives a |
| 7 | 207 result which is probably not what you want. Avoid it. |
| 208 | |
| 209 *add-option-flags* *remove-option-flags* | |
| 210 *E539* *E550* *E551* *E552* | |
| 211 Some options are a list of flags. When you want to add a flag to such an | |
| 212 option, without changing the existing ones, you can do it like this: > | |
| 213 :set guioptions+=a | |
| 214 Remove a flag from an option like this: > | |
| 215 :set guioptions-=a | |
| 216 This removes the 'a' flag from 'guioptions'. | |
| 10 | 217 Note that you should add or remove one flag at a time. If 'guioptions' has |
| 7 | 218 the value "ab", using "set guioptions-=ba" won't work, because the string "ba" |
| 219 doesn't appear. | |
| 220 | |
| 221 *:set_env* *expand-env* *expand-environment-var* | |
| 22 | 222 Environment variables in specific string options will be expanded. If the |
| 7 | 223 environment variable exists the '$' and the following environment variable |
| 224 name is replaced with its value. If it does not exist the '$' and the name | |
| 225 are not modified. Any non-id character (not a letter, digit or '_') may | |
| 226 follow the environment variable name. That character and what follows is | |
| 227 appended to the value of the environment variable. Examples: > | |
| 228 :set term=$TERM.new | |
| 229 :set path=/usr/$INCLUDE,$HOME/include,. | |
| 230 When adding or removing a string from an option with ":set opt-=val" or ":set | |
| 231 opt+=val" the expansion is done before the adding or removing. | |
| 232 | |
| 233 | |
| 234 Handling of local options *local-options* | |
| 235 | |
| 236 Some of the options only apply to a window or buffer. Each window or buffer | |
| 237 has its own copy of this option, thus can each have their own value. This | |
| 238 allows you to set 'list' in one window but not in another. And set | |
| 239 'shiftwidth' to 3 in one buffer and 4 in another. | |
| 240 | |
| 241 The following explains what happens to these local options in specific | |
| 242 situations. You don't really need to know all of this, since Vim mostly uses | |
| 243 the option values you would expect. Unfortunately, doing what the user | |
| 244 expects is a bit complicated... | |
| 245 | |
| 246 When splitting a window, the local options are copied to the new window. Thus | |
| 247 right after the split the contents of the two windows look the same. | |
| 248 | |
| 249 When editing a new buffer, its local option values must be initialized. Since | |
| 250 the local options of the current buffer might be specifically for that buffer, | |
| 251 these are not used. Instead, for each buffer-local option there also is a | |
| 252 global value, which is used for new buffers. With ":set" both the local and | |
| 253 global value is changed. With "setlocal" only the local value is changed, | |
| 254 thus this value is not used when editing a new buffer. | |
| 255 | |
| 256 When editing a buffer that has been edited before, the last used window | |
| 257 options are used again. If this buffer has been edited in this window, the | |
| 258 values from back then are used. Otherwise the values from the window where | |
| 259 the buffer was edited last are used. | |
| 260 | |
| 261 It's possible to set a local window option specifically for a type of buffer. | |
| 262 When you edit another buffer in the same window, you don't want to keep | |
| 263 using these local window options. Therefore Vim keeps a global value of the | |
| 264 local window options, which is used when editing another buffer. Each window | |
| 265 has its own copy of these values. Thus these are local to the window, but | |
| 266 global to all buffers in the window. With this you can do: > | |
| 267 :e one | |
| 268 :set list | |
| 269 :e two | |
| 270 Now the 'list' option will also be set in "two", since with the ":set list" | |
| 271 command you have also set the global value. > | |
| 272 :set nolist | |
| 273 :e one | |
| 274 :setlocal list | |
| 275 :e two | |
| 276 Now the 'list' option is not set, because ":set nolist" resets the global | |
| 277 value, ":setlocal list" only changes the local value and ":e two" gets the | |
| 278 global value. Note that if you do this next: > | |
| 279 :e one | |
| 4358 | 280 You will get back the 'list' value as it was the last time you edited "one". |
| 281 The options local to a window are remembered for each buffer. This also | |
| 282 happens when the buffer is not loaded, but they are lost when the buffer is | |
| 283 wiped out |:bwipe|. | |
| 7 | 284 |
| 285 *:setl* *:setlocal* | |
| 286 :setl[ocal] ... Like ":set" but set only the value local to the | |
| 287 current buffer or window. Not all options have a | |
| 288 local value. If the option does not have a local | |
| 289 value the global value is set. | |
| 2413 | 290 With the "all" argument: display local values for all |
| 291 local options. | |
| 292 Without argument: Display local values for all local | |
| 293 options which are different from the default. | |
| 7 | 294 When displaying a specific local option, show the |
| 1621 | 295 local value. For a global/local boolean option, when |
| 296 the global value is being used, "--" is displayed | |
| 297 before the option name. | |
| 298 For a global option the global value is | |
| 7 | 299 shown (but that might change in the future). |
| 300 {not in Vi} | |
| 301 | |
| 809 | 302 :setl[ocal] {option}< Set the local value of {option} to its global value by |
| 303 copying the value. | |
| 304 {not in Vi} | |
| 305 | |
| 3281 | 306 :se[t] {option}< For |global-local| options: Remove the local value of |
| 307 {option}, so that the global value will be used. | |
| 7 | 308 {not in Vi} |
| 309 | |
| 310 *:setg* *:setglobal* | |
| 311 :setg[lobal] ... Like ":set" but set only the global value for a local | |
| 312 option without changing the local value. | |
| 313 When displaying an option, the global value is shown. | |
| 2413 | 314 With the "all" argument: display global values for all |
| 315 local options. | |
| 316 Without argument: display global values for all local | |
| 317 options which are different from the default. | |
| 7 | 318 {not in Vi} |
| 319 | |
| 320 For buffer-local and window-local options: | |
| 321 Command global value local value ~ | |
| 322 :set option=value set set | |
| 323 :setlocal option=value - set | |
| 324 :setglobal option=value set - | |
| 325 :set option? - display | |
| 326 :setlocal option? - display | |
| 327 :setglobal option? display - | |
| 328 | |
| 329 | |
| 330 Global options with a local value *global-local* | |
| 331 | |
| 40 | 332 Options are global when you mostly use one value for all buffers and windows. |
| 333 For some global options it's useful to sometimes have a different local value. | |
| 334 You can set the local value with ":setlocal". That buffer or window will then | |
| 335 use the local value, while other buffers and windows continue using the global | |
| 336 value. | |
| 7 | 337 |
| 338 For example, you have two windows, both on C source code. They use the global | |
| 339 'makeprg' option. If you do this in one of the two windows: > | |
| 340 :set makeprg=gmake | |
| 341 then the other window will switch to the same value. There is no need to set | |
| 342 the 'makeprg' option in the other C source window too. | |
| 343 However, if you start editing a Perl file in a new window, you want to use | |
| 1152 | 344 another 'makeprg' for it, without changing the value used for the C source |
| 10 | 345 files. You use this command: > |
| 7 | 346 :setlocal makeprg=perlmake |
| 347 You can switch back to using the global value by making the local value empty: > | |
| 348 :setlocal makeprg= | |
| 349 This only works for a string option. For a boolean option you need to use the | |
| 350 "<" flag, like this: > | |
| 351 :setlocal autoread< | |
| 352 Note that for non-boolean options using "<" copies the global value to the | |
| 353 local value, it doesn't switch back to using the global value (that matters | |
| 809 | 354 when the global value changes later). You can also use: > |
| 355 :set path< | |
| 356 This will make the local value of 'path' empty, so that the global value is | |
| 357 used. Thus it does the same as: > | |
| 358 :setlocal path= | |
| 7 | 359 Note: In the future more global options can be made global-local. Using |
| 360 ":setlocal" on a global option might work differently then. | |
| 361 | |
| 362 | |
| 363 Setting the filetype | |
| 364 | |
| 365 :setf[iletype] {filetype} *:setf* *:setfiletype* | |
| 366 Set the 'filetype' option to {filetype}, but only if | |
| 367 not done yet in a sequence of (nested) autocommands. | |
| 368 This is short for: > | |
| 369 :if !did_filetype() | |
| 370 : setlocal filetype={filetype} | |
| 371 :endif | |
| 372 < This command is used in a filetype.vim file to avoid | |
| 373 setting the 'filetype' option twice, causing different | |
| 374 settings and syntax files to be loaded. | |
| 375 {not in Vi} | |

| 393 *$HOME* | |
| 394 Using "~" is like using "$HOME", but it is only recognized at the start of an | |
| 395 option and after a space or comma. | |
| 396 | |
| 397 On Unix systems "~user" can be used too. It is replaced by the home directory | |
| 398 of user "user". Example: > | |
| 399 :set path=~mool/include,/usr/include,. | |
| 400 | |
| 401 On Unix systems the form "${HOME}" can be used too. The name between {} can | |
| 402 contain non-id characters then. Note that if you want to use this for the | |
| 403 "gf" command, you need to add the '{' and '}' characters to 'isfname'. | |
| 404 | |
| 3224 | 405 On MS-Windows, if $HOME is not defined as an environment variable, then |
| 406 at runtime Vim will set it to the expansion of $HOMEDRIVE$HOMEPATH. | |

| 7 | 408 NOTE: expanding environment variables and "~/" is only done with the ":set" |
| 409 command, not when assigning a value to an option with ":let". | |
| 410 | |
| 411 | |
| 412 Note the maximum length of an expanded option is limited. How much depends on | |
| 413 the system, mostly it is something like 256 or 1024 characters. | |
| 414 | |
| 415 *:fix* *:fixdel* | |
| 416 :fix[del] Set the value of 't_kD': | |
| 417 't_kb' is 't_kD' becomes ~ | |
| 418 CTRL-? CTRL-H | |
| 419 not CTRL-? CTRL-? | |
| 420 | |
| 421 (CTRL-? is 0177 octal, 0x7f hex) {not in Vi} | |
| 422 | |
| 423 If your delete key terminal code is wrong, but the | |
| 424 code for backspace is alright, you can put this in | |
| 425 your .vimrc: > | |
| 426 :fixdel | |
| 427 < This works no matter what the actual code for | |
| 428 backspace is. | |
| 429 | |
| 430 If the backspace key terminal code is wrong you can | |
| 431 use this: > | |
| 432 :if &term == "termname" | |
| 433 : set t_kb=^V<BS> | |
| 434 : fixdel | |
| 435 :endif | |
| 436 < Where "^V" is CTRL-V and "<BS>" is the backspace key | |
| 10 | 437 (don't type four characters!). Replace "termname" |
| 7 | 438 with your terminal name. |
| 439 | |
| 440 If your <Delete> key sends a strange key sequence (not | |
| 441 CTRL-? or CTRL-H) you cannot use ":fixdel". Then use: > | |
| 442 :if &term == "termname" | |
| 443 : set t_kD=^V<Delete> | |
| 444 :endif | |
| 445 < Where "^V" is CTRL-V and "<Delete>" is the delete key | |
| 446 (don't type eight characters!). Replace "termname" | |
| 447 with your terminal name. | |
| 448 | |
| 449 *Linux-backspace* | |
| 450 Note about Linux: By default the backspace key | |
| 451 produces CTRL-?, which is wrong. You can fix it by | |
| 452 putting this line in your rc.local: > | |
| 453 echo "keycode 14 = BackSpace" | loadkeys | |
| 454 < | |
| 455 *NetBSD-backspace* | |
| 456 Note about NetBSD: If your backspace doesn't produce | |
| 457 the right code, try this: > | |
| 458 xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = BackSpace" | |
| 459 < If this works, add this in your .Xmodmap file: > | |
| 460 keysym 22 = BackSpace | |
| 461 < You need to restart for this to take effect. | |
| 462 | |
| 463 ============================================================================== | |
| 464 2. Automatically setting options *auto-setting* | |
| 465 | |
| 466 Besides changing options with the ":set" command, there are three alternatives | |
| 467 to set options automatically for one or more files: | |
| 468 | |
| 469 1. When starting Vim initializations are read from various places. See | |
| 470 |initialization|. Most of them are performed for all editing sessions, | |
| 471 and some of them depend on the directory where Vim is started. | |
| 472 You can create an initialization file with |:mkvimrc|, |:mkview| and | |
| 473 |:mksession|. | |
| 474 2. If you start editing a new file, the automatic commands are executed. | |
| 475 This can be used to set options for files matching a particular pattern and | |
| 476 many other things. See |autocommand|. | |
| 477 3. If you start editing a new file, and the 'modeline' option is on, a | |
| 478 number of lines at the beginning and end of the file are checked for | |
| 479 modelines. This is explained here. | |
| 480 | |
| 481 *modeline* *vim:* *vi:* *ex:* *E520* | |
| 482 There are two forms of modelines. The first form: | |
| 5055 | 483 [text]{white}{vi:|vim:|ex:}[white]{options} |

520 could be short for "example:"). |
| 7 | 521 |
| 522 *modeline-local* | |
| 523 The options are set like with ":setlocal": The new value only applies to the | |
| 11 | 524 buffer and window that contain the file. Although it's possible to set global |
| 525 options from a modeline, this is unusual. If you have two windows open and | |
| 526 the files in it set the same global option to a different value, the result | |
| 527 depends on which one was opened last. | |
| 7 | 528 |
| 23 | 529 When editing a file that was already loaded, only the window-local options |
| 530 from the modeline are used. Thus if you manually changed a buffer-local | |
| 531 option after opening the file, it won't be changed if you edit the same buffer | |
| 532 in another window. But window-local options will be set. | |
| 533 | |
| 7 | 534 *modeline-version* |
| 535 If the modeline is only to be used for some versions of Vim, the version | |

536 number can be specified where "vim:" or "Vim:" is used: |
| 7 | 537 vim{vers}: version {vers} or later |
| 538 vim<{vers}: version before {vers} | |
| 539 vim={vers}: version {vers} | |
| 540 vim>{vers}: version after {vers} | |
| 541 {vers} is 600 for Vim 6.0 (hundred times the major version plus minor). | |
| 782 | 542 For example, to use a modeline only for Vim 6.0 and later: |
| 543 /* vim600: set foldmethod=marker: */ ~ | |
| 544 To use a modeline for Vim before version 5.7: | |
| 545 /* vim<570: set sw=4: */ ~ | |
| 7 | 546 There can be no blanks between "vim" and the ":". |
| 547 | |
| 548 | |
| 549 The number of lines that are checked can be set with the 'modelines' option. | |
| 550 If 'modeline' is off or 'modelines' is 0 no lines are checked. | |
| 551 | |
| 552 Note that for the first form all of the rest of the line is used, thus a line | |
| 782 | 553 like: |
| 554 /* vi:ts=4: */ ~ | |
| 555 will give an error message for the trailing "*/". This line is OK: | |
| 556 /* vi:set ts=4: */ ~ | |
| 7 | 557 |
| 558 If an error is detected the rest of the line is skipped. | |
| 559 | |
| 560 If you want to include a ':' in a set command precede it with a '\'. The | |
| 782 | 561 backslash in front of the ':' will be removed. Example: |
| 562 /* vi:set dir=c\:\tmp: */ ~ | |
| 7 | 563 This sets the 'dir' option to "c:\tmp". Only a single backslash before the |
| 564 ':' is removed. Thus to include "\:" you have to specify "\\:". | |
| 565 | |
| 566 No other commands than "set" are supported, for security reasons (somebody | |
| 1111 | 567 might create a Trojan horse text file with modelines). And not all options |
| 568 can be set. For some options a flag is set, so that when it's used the | |
| 1152 | 569 |sandbox| is effective. Still, there is always a small risk that a modeline |
| 1111 | 570 causes trouble. E.g., when some joker sets 'textwidth' to 5 all your lines |
| 571 are wrapped unexpectedly. So disable modelines before editing untrusted text. | |
| 572 The mail ftplugin does this, for example. | |
| 7 | 573 |
| 574 Hint: If you would like to do something else than setting an option, you could | |
| 575 define an autocommand that checks the file for a specific string. For | |
| 576 example: > | |
| 577 au BufReadPost * if getline(1) =~ "VAR" | call SetVar() | endif | |
| 578 And define a function SetVar() that does something with the line containing | |
| 579 "VAR". | |
| 580 | |
| 581 ============================================================================== | |
| 582 3. Options summary *option-summary* | |
| 583 | |
| 584 In the list below all the options are mentioned with their full name and with | |
| 585 an abbreviation if there is one. Both forms may be used. | |
| 586 | |
| 587 In this document when a boolean option is "set" that means that ":set option" | |
| 588 is entered. When an option is "reset", ":set nooption" is used. | |
| 589 | |
| 590 For some options there are two default values: The "Vim default", which is | |
| 591 used when 'compatible' is not set, and the "Vi default", which is used when | |
| 592 'compatible' is set. | |
| 593 | |
| 594 Most options are the same in all windows and buffers. There are a few that | |
| 10 | 595 are specific to how the text is presented in a window. These can be set to a |
| 7 | 596 different value in each window. For example the 'list' option can be set in |
| 597 one window and reset in another for the same text, giving both types of view | |
| 598 at the same time. There are a few options that are specific to a certain | |
| 599 file. These can have a different value for each file or buffer. For example | |
| 600 the 'textwidth' option can be 78 for a normal text file and 0 for a C | |
| 601 program. | |
| 602 | |
| 603 global one option for all buffers and windows | |
| 604 local to window each window has its own copy of this option | |
| 605 local to buffer each buffer has its own copy of this option | |
| 606 | |
| 607 When creating a new window the option values from the currently active window | |
| 608 are used as a default value for the window-specific options. For the | |
| 609 buffer-specific options this depends on the 's' and 'S' flags in the | |
| 610 'cpoptions' option. If 's' is included (which is the default) the values for | |
| 611 buffer options are copied from the currently active buffer when a buffer is | |
| 10 | 612 first entered. If 'S' is present the options are copied each time the buffer |
| 613 is entered, this is almost like having global options. If 's' and 'S' are not | |
| 7 | 614 present, the options are copied from the currently active buffer when the |
| 615 buffer is created. | |
| 616 | |
| 519 | 617 Hidden options *hidden-options* |
| 618 | |
| 619 Not all options are supported in all versions. This depends on the supported | |
| 620 features and sometimes on the system. A remark about this is in curly braces | |
| 621 below. When an option is not supported it may still be set without getting an | |
| 622 error, this is called a hidden option. You can't get the value of a hidden | |
| 623 option though, it is not stored. | |
| 624 | |
| 625 To test if option "foo" can be used with ":set" use something like this: > | |
| 626 if exists('&foo') | |
| 627 This also returns true for a hidden option. To test if option "foo" is really | |
| 628 supported use something like this: > | |
| 629 if exists('+foo') | |
| 630 < | |
| 7 | 631 *E355* |
| 632 A jump table for the options with a short description can be found at |Q_op|. | |
| 633 | |
| 634 *'aleph'* *'al'* *aleph* *Aleph* | |
| 635 'aleph' 'al' number (default 128 for MS-DOS, 224 otherwise) | |
| 636 global | |
| 637 {not in Vi} | |
| 638 {only available when compiled with the |+rightleft| | |
| 639 feature} | |
| 640 The ASCII code for the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The | |
| 641 routine that maps the keyboard in Hebrew mode, both in Insert mode | |
| 642 (when hkmap is set) and on the command-line (when hitting CTRL-_) | |
| 643 outputs the Hebrew characters in the range [aleph..aleph+26]. | |
| 644 aleph=128 applies to PC code, and aleph=224 applies to ISO 8859-8. | |
| 645 See |rileft.txt|. | |
| 646 | |
| 647 *'allowrevins'* *'ari'* *'noallowrevins'* *'noari'* | |
| 648 'allowrevins' 'ari' boolean (default off) | |
| 649 global | |
| 650 {not in Vi} | |
| 651 {only available when compiled with the |+rightleft| | |
| 652 feature} | |
| 653 Allow CTRL-_ in Insert and Command-line mode. This is default off, to | |
| 654 avoid that users that accidentally type CTRL-_ instead of SHIFT-_ get | |
| 655 into reverse Insert mode, and don't know how to get out. See | |
| 656 'revins'. | |
| 657 NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. | |
| 658 | |
| 659 *'altkeymap'* *'akm'* *'noaltkeymap'* *'noakm'* | |
| 660 'altkeymap' 'akm' boolean (default off) | |
| 661 global | |
| 662 {not in Vi} | |
| 663 {only available when compiled with the |+farsi| | |
| 664 feature} | |
| 233 | 665 When on, the second language is Farsi. In editing mode CTRL-_ toggles |
| 7 | 666 the keyboard map between Farsi and English, when 'allowrevins' set. |
| 667 | |
| 233 | 668 When off, the keyboard map toggles between Hebrew and English. This |
| 7 | 669 is useful to start the Vim in native mode i.e. English (left-to-right |
| 670 mode) and have default second language Farsi or Hebrew (right-to-left | |
| 10 | 671 mode). See |farsi.txt|. |
| 7 | 672 |
| 673 *'ambiwidth'* *'ambw'* | |
| 674 'ambiwidth' 'ambw' string (default: "single") | |
| 675 global | |
| 676 {not in Vi} | |
| 677 {only available when compiled with the |+multi_byte| | |
| 678 feature} | |
| 679 Only effective when 'encoding' is "utf-8" or another Unicode encoding. | |
| 680 Tells Vim what to do with characters with East Asian Width Class | |
| 681 Ambiguous (such as Euro, Registered Sign, Copyright Sign, Greek | |
| 682 letters, Cyrillic letters). | |
| 683 | |
| 684 There are currently two possible values: | |
| 233 | 685 "single": Use the same width as characters in US-ASCII. This is |
| 7 | 686 expected by most users. |
| 687 "double": Use twice the width of ASCII characters. | |

690 contains a character that would be double width. |
| 7 | 691 |
| 692 There are a number of CJK fonts for which the width of glyphs for | |
| 693 those characters are solely based on how many octets they take in | |
| 694 legacy/traditional CJK encodings. In those encodings, Euro, | |
| 695 Registered sign, Greek/Cyrillic letters are represented by two octets, | |
| 233 | 696 therefore those fonts have "wide" glyphs for them. This is also |
| 7 | 697 true of some line drawing characters used to make tables in text |
| 233 | 698 file. Therefore, when a CJK font is used for GUI Vim or |
| 7 | 699 Vim is running inside a terminal (emulators) that uses a CJK font |
| 700 (or Vim is run inside an xterm invoked with "-cjkwidth" option.), | |
| 701 this option should be set to "double" to match the width perceived | |
| 702 by Vim with the width of glyphs in the font. Perhaps it also has | |
| 703 to be set to "double" under CJK Windows 9x/ME or Windows 2k/XP | |
| 704 when the system locale is set to one of CJK locales. See Unicode | |
| 705 Standard Annex #11 (http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr11). | |
| 706 | |
| 4229 | 707 Vim may set this option automatically at startup time when Vim is |
| 708 compiled with the |+termresponse| feature and if |t_u7| is set to the | |

| 716 on Mac OS X} | |
| 717 This option only has an effect in the GUI version of Vim on Mac OS X | |
| 718 v10.2 or later. When on, Vim will use smooth ("antialiased") fonts, | |
| 719 which can be easier to read at certain sizes on certain displays. | |
| 720 Setting this option can sometimes cause problems if 'guifont' is set | |
| 721 to its default (empty string). | |
| 722 | |
| 723 *'autochdir'* *'acd'* *'noautochdir'* *'noacd'* | |

| 731 It will change to the directory containing the file which was opened | |
| 732 or selected. | |
| 733 This option is provided for backward compatibility with the Vim | |
| 734 released with Sun ONE Studio 4 Enterprise Edition. | |
| 819 | 735 Note: When this option is on some plugins may not work. |

| 737 *'arabic'* *'arab'* *'noarabic'* *'noarab'* | |
| 738 'arabic' 'arab' boolean (default off) | |
| 739 local to window | |
| 740 {not in Vi} | |
| 741 {only available when compiled with the |+arabic| | |
| 742 feature} | |
| 743 This option can be set to start editing Arabic text. | |
| 744 Setting this option will: | |
| 745 - Set the 'rightleft' option, unless 'termbidi' is set. | |
| 746 - Set the 'arabicshape' option, unless 'termbidi' is set. | |
| 747 - Set the 'keymap' option to "arabic"; in Insert mode CTRL-^ toggles | |
| 748 between typing English and Arabic key mapping. | |
| 749 - Set the 'delcombine' option | |
| 750 Note that 'encoding' must be "utf-8" for working with Arabic text. | |
| 751 | |
| 752 Resetting this option will: | |
| 753 - Reset the 'rightleft' option. | |
| 754 - Disable the use of 'keymap' (without changing its value). | |
| 755 Note that 'arabicshape' and 'delcombine' are not reset (it is a global | |
| 3557 | 756 option). |
| 7 | 757 Also see |arabic.txt|. |
| 758 | |
| 759 *'arabicshape'* *'arshape'* | |

| 762 global | |
| 763 {not in Vi} | |
| 764 {only available when compiled with the |+arabic| | |
| 765 feature} | |
| 766 When on and 'termbidi' is off, the required visual character | |
| 767 corrections that need to take place for displaying the Arabic language | |
| 3893 | 768 take effect. Shaping, in essence, gets enabled; the term is a broad |
| 7 | 769 one which encompasses: |
| 770 a) the changing/morphing of characters based on their location | |
| 771 within a word (initial, medial, final and stand-alone). | |
| 772 b) the enabling of the ability to compose characters | |
| 773 c) the enabling of the required combining of some characters | |

| 779 *'autoindent'* *'ai'* *'noautoindent'* *'noai'* | |
| 780 'autoindent' 'ai' boolean (default off) | |
| 781 local to buffer | |
| 782 Copy indent from current line when starting a new line (typing <CR> | |
| 783 in Insert mode or when using the "o" or "O" command). If you do not | |
| 784 type anything on the new line except <BS> or CTRL-D and then type | |
| 1152 | 785 <Esc>, CTRL-O or <CR>, the indent is deleted again. Moving the cursor |
| 786 to another line has the same effect, unless the 'I' flag is included | |
| 787 in 'cpoptions'. | |
| 10 | 788 When autoindent is on, formatting (with the "gq" command or when you |
| 789 reach 'textwidth' in Insert mode) uses the indentation of the first | |
| 790 line. | |
| 7 | 791 When 'smartindent' or 'cindent' is on the indent is changed in |
| 792 a different way. | |
| 793 The 'autoindent' option is reset when the 'paste' option is set. | |
| 794 {small difference from Vi: After the indent is deleted when typing | |
| 795 <Esc> or <CR>, the cursor position when moving up or down is after the | |
| 796 deleted indent; Vi puts the cursor somewhere in the deleted indent}. | |
| 797 | |
| 798 *'autoread'* *'ar'* *'noautoread'* *'noar'* | |
| 799 'autoread' 'ar' boolean (default off) | |
| 800 global or local to buffer |global-local| | |
| 801 {not in Vi} | |
| 802 When a file has been detected to have been changed outside of Vim and | |
| 803 it has not been changed inside of Vim, automatically read it again. | |
| 804 When the file has been deleted this is not done. |timestamp| | |
| 805 If this option has a local value, use this command to switch back to | |
| 806 using the global value: > | |
| 807 :set autoread< | |
| 808 < | |
| 809 *'autowrite'* *'aw'* *'noautowrite'* *'noaw'* | |
| 810 'autowrite' 'aw' boolean (default off) | |
| 811 global | |
| 812 Write the contents of the file, if it has been modified, on each | |
| 813 :next, :rewind, :last, :first, :previous, :stop, :suspend, :tag, :!, | |
| 864 | 814 :make, CTRL-] and CTRL-^ command; and when a :buffer, CTRL-O, CTRL-I, |
| 7 | 815 '{A-Z0-9}, or `{A-Z0-9} command takes one to another file. |
| 816 Note that for some commands the 'autowrite' option is not used, see | |
| 817 'autowriteall' for that. | |
| 818 | |
| 819 *'autowriteall'* *'awa'* *'noautowriteall'* *'noawa'* | |
| 820 'autowriteall' 'awa' boolean (default off) | |
| 821 global | |
| 822 {not in Vi} | |
| 823 Like 'autowrite', but also used for commands ":edit", ":enew", ":quit", | |
| 824 ":qall", ":exit", ":xit", ":recover" and closing the Vim window. | |
| 825 Setting this option also implies that Vim behaves like 'autowrite' has | |
| 826 been set. | |
| 827 | |
| 828 *'background'* *'bg'* | |
| 2826 | 829 'background' 'bg' string (default "dark" or "light", see below) |
| 7 | 830 global |
| 831 {not in Vi} | |
| 832 When set to "dark", Vim will try to use colors that look good on a | |
| 833 dark background. When set to "light", Vim will try to use colors that | |
| 834 look good on a light background. Any other value is illegal. | |
| 835 Vim tries to set the default value according to the terminal used. | |
| 836 This will not always be correct. | |
| 837 Setting this option does not change the background color, it tells Vim | |
| 838 what the background color looks like. For changing the background | |
| 839 color, see |:hi-normal|. | |
| 840 | |
| 841 When 'background' is set Vim will adjust the default color groups for | |
| 10 | 842 the new value. But the colors used for syntax highlighting will not |
| 1621 | 843 change. *g:colors_name* |

848 be undone. First delete the "g:colors_name" variable when needed. |
| 7 | 849 |
| 850 When setting 'background' to the default value with: > | |
| 851 :set background& | |
| 852 < Vim will guess the value. In the GUI this should work correctly, | |
| 853 in other cases Vim might not be able to guess the right value. | |
| 854 | |
| 855 When starting the GUI, the default value for 'background' will be | |
| 856 "light". When the value is not set in the .gvimrc, and Vim detects | |
| 857 that the background is actually quite dark, 'background' is set to | |
| 858 "dark". But this happens only AFTER the .gvimrc file has been read | |
| 859 (because the window needs to be opened to find the actual background | |
| 860 color). To get around this, force the GUI window to be opened by | |
| 861 putting a ":gui" command in the .gvimrc file, before where the value | |
| 862 of 'background' is used (e.g., before ":syntax on"). | |
| 2826 | 863 |
| 864 For MS-DOS, Windows and OS/2 the default is "dark". | |
| 865 For other systems "dark" is used when 'term' is "linux", | |
| 866 "screen.linux", "cygwin" or "putty", or $COLORFGBG suggests a dark | |
| 867 background. Otherwise the default is "light". | |
| 868 | |
| 7 | 869 Normally this option would be set in the .vimrc file. Possibly |
| 870 depending on the terminal name. Example: > | |
| 871 :if &term == "pcterm" | |
| 872 : set background=dark | |
| 873 :endif | |
| 874 < When this option is set, the default settings for the highlight groups | |
| 875 will change. To use other settings, place ":highlight" commands AFTER | |
| 876 the setting of the 'background' option. | |
| 877 This option is also used in the "$VIMRUNTIME/syntax/syntax.vim" file | |
| 878 to select the colors for syntax highlighting. After changing this | |
| 879 option, you must load syntax.vim again to see the result. This can be | |
| 880 done with ":syntax on". | |
| 881 | |
| 882 *'backspace'* *'bs'* | |
| 883 'backspace' 'bs' string (default "") | |
| 884 global | |
| 885 {not in Vi} | |
| 886 Influences the working of <BS>, <Del>, CTRL-W and CTRL-U in Insert | |
| 887 mode. This is a list of items, separated by commas. Each item allows | |
| 888 a way to backspace over something: | |
| 889 value effect ~ | |
| 890 indent allow backspacing over autoindent | |
| 891 eol allow backspacing over line breaks (join lines) | |
| 892 start allow backspacing over the start of insert; CTRL-W and CTRL-U | |
| 893 stop once at the start of insert. | |
| 894 | |
| 895 When the value is empty, Vi compatible backspacing is used. | |
| 896 | |
| 897 For backwards compatibility with version 5.4 and earlier: | |
| 898 value effect ~ | |
| 899 0 same as ":set backspace=" (Vi compatible) | |
| 900 1 same as ":set backspace=indent,eol" | |
| 901 2 same as ":set backspace=indent,eol,start" | |
| 902 | |
| 903 See |:fixdel| if your <BS> or <Del> key does not do what you want. | |
| 904 NOTE: This option is set to "" when 'compatible' is set. | |
| 905 | |
| 906 *'backup'* *'bk'* *'nobackup'* *'nobk'* | |
| 907 'backup' 'bk' boolean (default off) | |
| 908 global | |
| 909 {not in Vi} | |
| 910 Make a backup before overwriting a file. Leave it around after the | |
| 911 file has been successfully written. If you do not want to keep the | |
| 912 backup file, but you do want a backup while the file is being | |
| 913 written, reset this option and set the 'writebackup' option (this is | |
| 914 the default). If you do not want a backup file at all reset both | |
| 10 | 915 options (use this if your file system is almost full). See the |
| 7 | 916 |backup-table| for more explanations. |
| 917 When the 'backupskip' pattern matches, a backup is not made anyway. | |
| 918 When 'patchmode' is set, the backup may be renamed to become the | |
| 919 oldest version of a file. | |
| 920 NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. | |
| 921 | |
| 922 *'backupcopy'* *'bkc'* | |
| 923 'backupcopy' 'bkc' string (Vi default for Unix: "yes", otherwise: "auto") | |
| 6243 | 924 global or local to buffer |global-local| |
| 7 | 925 {not in Vi} |
| 926 When writing a file and a backup is made, this option tells how it's | |
| 927 done. This is a comma separated list of words. | |
| 928 | |
| 929 The main values are: | |
| 930 "yes" make a copy of the file and overwrite the original one | |
| 931 "no" rename the file and write a new one | |
| 932 "auto" one of the previous, what works best | |
| 933 | |
| 934 Extra values that can be combined with the ones above are: | |
| 935 "breaksymlink" always break symlinks when writing | |
| 936 "breakhardlink" always break hardlinks when writing | |
| 937 | |
| 938 Making a copy and overwriting the original file: | |
| 939 - Takes extra time to copy the file. | |
| 940 + When the file has special attributes, is a (hard/symbolic) link or | |
| 941 has a resource fork, all this is preserved. | |
| 942 - When the file is a link the backup will have the name of the link, | |
| 943 not of the real file. | |
| 944 | |
| 945 Renaming the file and writing a new one: | |
| 946 + It's fast. | |
| 947 - Sometimes not all attributes of the file can be copied to the new | |
| 948 file. | |
| 949 - When the file is a link the new file will not be a link. | |
| 950 | |
| 951 The "auto" value is the middle way: When Vim sees that renaming file | |
| 952 is possible without side effects (the attributes can be passed on and | |
| 1152 | 953 the file is not a link) that is used. When problems are expected, a |
| 954 copy will be made. | |
| 7 | 955 |
| 956 The "breaksymlink" and "breakhardlink" values can be used in | |
| 957 combination with any of "yes", "no" and "auto". When included, they | |
| 958 force Vim to always break either symbolic or hard links by doing | |
| 959 exactly what the "no" option does, renaming the original file to | |
| 960 become the backup and writing a new file in its place. This can be | |
| 961 useful for example in source trees where all the files are symbolic or | |
| 962 hard links and any changes should stay in the local source tree, not | |
| 963 be propagated back to the original source. | |
| 964 *crontab* | |
| 965 One situation where "no" and "auto" will cause problems: A program | |
| 966 that opens a file, invokes Vim to edit that file, and then tests if | |
| 967 the open file was changed (through the file descriptor) will check the | |
| 10 | 968 backup file instead of the newly created file. "crontab -e" is an |
| 7 | 969 example. |
| 970 | |
| 971 When a copy is made, the original file is truncated and then filled | |
| 972 with the new text. This means that protection bits, owner and | |
| 973 symbolic links of the original file are unmodified. The backup file | |
| 10 | 974 however, is a new file, owned by the user who edited the file. The |
| 7 | 975 group of the backup is set to the group of the original file. If this |
| 976 fails, the protection bits for the group are made the same as for | |
| 977 others. | |
| 978 | |
| 979 When the file is renamed this is the other way around: The backup has | |
| 980 the same attributes of the original file, and the newly written file | |
| 981 is owned by the current user. When the file was a (hard/symbolic) | |
| 982 link, the new file will not! That's why the "auto" value doesn't | |
| 983 rename when the file is a link. The owner and group of the newly | |
| 984 written file will be set to the same ones as the original file, but | |
| 985 the system may refuse to do this. In that case the "auto" value will | |
| 986 again not rename the file. | |
| 987 | |
| 988 *'backupdir'* *'bdir'* | |
| 989 'backupdir' 'bdir' string (default for Amiga: ".,t:", | |
| 5555 | 990 for MS-DOS and Win32: ".,$TEMP,c:/tmp,c:/temp" |
| 7 | 991 for Unix: ".,~/tmp,~/") |
| 992 global | |
| 993 {not in Vi} | |
| 994 List of directories for the backup file, separated with commas. | |
| 995 - The backup file will be created in the first directory in the list | |

997 create it for you. |
| 4186 | 998 - Empty means that no backup file will be created ( 'patchmode' is |
| 7 | 999 impossible!). Writing may fail because of this. |
| 1000 - A directory "." means to put the backup file in the same directory | |
| 1001 as the edited file. | |
| 33 | 1002 - A directory starting with "./" (or ".\" for MS-DOS et al.) means to |
| 7 | 1003 put the backup file relative to where the edited file is. The |
| 1004 leading "." is replaced with the path name of the edited file. | |
| 1005 ("." inside a directory name has no special meaning). | |
| 1006 - Spaces after the comma are ignored, other spaces are considered part | |
| 1007 of the directory name. To have a space at the start of a directory | |
| 1008 name, precede it with a backslash. | |
| 1009 - To include a comma in a directory name precede it with a backslash. | |
| 1010 - A directory name may end in an '/'. | |
| 1011 - Environment variables are expanded |:set_env|. | |
| 1012 - Careful with '\' characters, type one before a space, type two to | |
| 1013 get one in the option (see |option-backslash|), for example: > | |
| 1014 :set bdir=c:\\tmp,\ dir\\,with\\,commas,\\\ dir\ with\ spaces | |
| 1015 < - For backwards compatibility with Vim version 3.0 a '>' at the start | |
| 1016 of the option is removed. | |
| 1017 See also 'backup' and 'writebackup' options. | |
| 1018 If you want to hide your backup files on Unix, consider this value: > | |
| 1019 :set backupdir=./.backup,~/.backup,.,/tmp | |
| 1020 < You must create a ".backup" directory in each directory and in your | |
| 1021 home directory for this to work properly. | |
| 1022 The use of |:set+=| and |:set-=| is preferred when adding or removing | |
| 1023 directories from the list. This avoids problems when a future version | |
| 1024 uses another default. | |
| 1025 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for | |
| 1026 security reasons. | |
| 1027 | |
| 1028 *'backupext'* *'bex'* *E589* | |
| 1029 'backupext' 'bex' string (default "~", for VMS: "_") | |
| 1030 global | |
| 1031 {not in Vi} | |
| 1032 String which is appended to a file name to make the name of the | |
| 1033 backup file. The default is quite unusual, because this avoids | |
| 1034 accidentally overwriting existing files with a backup file. You might | |
| 1035 prefer using ".bak", but make sure that you don't have files with | |
| 1036 ".bak" that you want to keep. | |
| 36 | 1037 Only normal file name characters can be used, "/\*?[|<>" are illegal. |
| 7 | 1038 |
| 26 | 1039 If you like to keep a lot of backups, you could use a BufWritePre |
| 1040 autocommand to change 'backupext' just before writing the file to | |
| 1041 include a timestamp. > | |
| 1042 :au BufWritePre * let &bex = '-' . strftime("%Y%b%d%X") . '~' | |
| 1043 < Use 'backupdir' to put the backup in a different directory. | |
| 1044 | |
| 7 | 1045 *'backupskip'* *'bsk'* |
| 1046 'backupskip' 'bsk' string (default: "/tmp/*,$TMPDIR/*,$TMP/*,$TEMP/*") | |

| 1048 {not in Vi} | |
| 1049 {not available when compiled without the |+wildignore| | |
| 1050 feature} | |
| 1051 A list of file patterns. When one of the patterns matches with the | |
| 1052 name of the file which is written, no backup file is created. Both | |
| 1053 the specified file name and the full path name of the file are used. | |
| 1054 The pattern is used like with |:autocmd|, see |autocmd-patterns|. | |
| 1055 Watch out for special characters, see |option-backslash|. | |
| 1056 When $TMPDIR, $TMP or $TEMP is not defined, it is not used for the | |
| 233 | 1057 default value. "/tmp/*" is only used for Unix. |
| 1152 | 1058 |
| 3513 | 1059 WARNING: Not having a backup file means that when Vim fails to write |
| 1060 your buffer correctly and then, for whatever reason, Vim exits, you | |
| 1061 lose both the original file and what you were writing. Only disable | |
| 1062 backups if you don't care about losing the file. | |
| 1063 | |
| 1152 | 1064 Note that environment variables are not expanded. If you want to use |
| 1065 $HOME you must expand it explicitly, e.g.: > | |
| 1066 :let backupskip = escape(expand('$HOME'), '\') . '/tmp/*' | |
| 1067 | |
| 1068 < Note that the default also makes sure that "crontab -e" works (when a | |
| 557 | 1069 backup would be made by renaming the original file crontab won't see |
| 1070 the newly created file). Also see 'backupcopy' and |crontab|. | |

| 1114 NOTE: The balloon is displayed only if the cursor is on a text | |
| 1115 character. If the result of evaluating 'balloonexpr' is not empty, | |
| 1116 Vim does not try to send a message to an external debugger (Netbeans | |
| 1117 or Sun Workshop). | |
| 1118 | |
| 3682 | 1119 The expression will be evaluated in the |sandbox| when set from a |

| 1124 | |
| 446 | 1125 To check whether line breaks in the balloon text work use this check: > |
| 435 | 1126 if has("balloon_multiline") |
| 714 | 1127 < When they are supported "\n" characters will start a new line. If the |
| 1128 expression evaluates to a |List| this is equal to using each List item | |
| 1129 as a string and putting "\n" in between them. | |
| 1130 | |
| 7 | 1131 *'binary'* *'bin'* *'nobinary'* *'nobin'* |
| 1132 'binary' 'bin' boolean (default off) | |
| 1133 local to buffer | |
| 1134 {not in Vi} | |
| 1135 This option should be set before editing a binary file. You can also | |
| 1136 use the |-b| Vim argument. When this option is switched on a few | |
| 1137 options will be changed (also when it already was on): | |
| 1138 'textwidth' will be set to 0 | |
| 1139 'wrapmargin' will be set to 0 | |
| 1140 'modeline' will be off | |
| 1141 'expandtab' will be off | |
| 1142 Also, 'fileformat' and 'fileformats' options will not be used, the | |
| 1143 file is read and written like 'fileformat' was "unix" (a single <NL> | |
| 1144 separates lines). | |
| 1145 The 'fileencoding' and 'fileencodings' options will not be used, the | |
| 1146 file is read without conversion. | |
| 1147 NOTE: When you start editing a(nother) file while the 'bin' option is | |
| 1148 on, settings from autocommands may change the settings again (e.g., | |
| 1149 'textwidth'), causing trouble when editing. You might want to set | |
| 1150 'bin' again when the file has been loaded. | |
| 1151 The previous values of these options are remembered and restored when | |
| 1152 'bin' is switched from on to off. Each buffer has its own set of | |
| 1153 saved option values. | |
| 1154 To edit a file with 'binary' set you can use the |++bin| argument. | |
| 1155 This avoids you have to do ":set bin", which would have effect for all | |
| 1156 files you edit. | |
| 1157 When writing a file the <EOL> for the last line is only written if | |
| 1158 there was one in the original file (normally Vim appends an <EOL> to | |
| 1159 the last line if there is none; this would make the file longer). See | |
| 1160 the 'endofline' option. | |
| 1161 | |
| 1162 *'bioskey'* *'biosk'* *'nobioskey'* *'nobiosk'* | |
| 1163 'bioskey' 'biosk' boolean (default on) | |
| 1164 global | |
| 1165 {not in Vi} {only for MS-DOS} | |
| 446 | 1166 When on the BIOS is called to obtain a keyboard character. This works |
| 7 | 1167 better to detect CTRL-C, but only works for the console. When using a |
| 1168 terminal over a serial port reset this option. | |
| 1169 Also see |'conskey'|. | |
| 1170 | |
| 1171 *'bomb'* *'nobomb'* | |
| 1172 'bomb' boolean (default off) | |
| 1173 local to buffer | |
| 1174 {not in Vi} | |
| 1175 {only available when compiled with the |+multi_byte| | |
| 1176 feature} | |
| 1177 When writing a file and the following conditions are met, a BOM (Byte | |
| 1178 Order Mark) is prepended to the file: | |
| 1179 - this option is on | |
| 1180 - the 'binary' option is off | |
| 1181 - 'fileencoding' is "utf-8", "ucs-2", "ucs-4" or one of the little/big | |
| 1182 endian variants. | |
| 1183 Some applications use the BOM to recognize the encoding of the file. | |
| 1184 Often used for UCS-2 files on MS-Windows. For other applications it | |
| 1185 causes trouble, for example: "cat file1 file2" makes the BOM of file2 | |

| 7 | 1187 When Vim reads a file and 'fileencodings' starts with "ucs-bom", a |
| 1188 check for the presence of the BOM is done and 'bomb' set accordingly. | |
| 1189 Unless 'binary' is set, it is removed from the first line, so that you | |
| 1190 don't see it when editing. When you don't change the options, the BOM | |

| 1199 This option lets you choose which characters might cause a line | |
| 500 | 1200 break if 'linebreak' is on. Only works for ASCII and also for 8-bit |
| 1201 characters when 'encoding' is an 8-bit encoding. | |

| 1219 Settings for 'breakindent'. It can consist of the following optional | |
| 6026 | 1220 items and must be separated by a comma: |
| 6009 | 1221 min:{n} Minimum text width that will be kept after |
| 1222 applying 'breakindent', even if the resulting | |
| 1223 text should normally be narrower. This prevents | |
| 1224 text indented almost to the right window border | |
| 1225 occupying lot of vertical space when broken. | |
| 6026 | 1226 shift:{n} After applying 'breakindent', the wrapped line's |
| 1227 beginning will be shifted by the given number of | |
| 1228 characters. It permits dynamic French paragraph | |
| 6009 | 1229 indentation (negative) or emphasizing the line |
| 1230 continuation (positive). | |
| 1231 sbr Display the 'showbreak' value before applying the | |

| 1249 local to buffer | |
| 1250 {not in Vi} | |
| 1251 {not available when compiled without the |+quickfix| | |
| 1252 feature} | |
| 1253 This option specifies what happens when a buffer is no longer | |
| 1254 displayed in a window: | |
| 1255 <empty> follow the global 'hidden' option | |
| 1256 hide hide the buffer (don't unload it), also when 'hidden' | |
| 1257 is not set | |
| 1258 unload unload the buffer, also when 'hidden' is set or using | |
| 1259 |:hide| | |
| 1260 delete delete the buffer from the buffer list, also when | |
| 1261 'hidden' is set or using |:hide|, like using | |
| 1262 |:bdelete| | |
| 1263 wipe wipe out the buffer from the buffer list, also when | |
| 1264 'hidden' is set or using |:hide|, like using | |
| 1265 |:bwipeout| | |
| 1266 | |
| 82 | 1267 CAREFUL: when "unload", "delete" or "wipe" is used changes in a buffer |
| 3224 | 1268 are lost without a warning. Also, these values may break autocommands |
| 1269 that switch between buffers temporarily. | |
| 7 | 1270 This option is used together with 'buftype' and 'swapfile' to specify |
| 1271 special kinds of buffers. See |special-buffers|. | |
| 1272 | |
| 1273 *'buflisted'* *'bl'* *'nobuflisted'* *'nobl'* *E85* | |
| 1274 'buflisted' 'bl' boolean (default: on) | |
| 1275 local to buffer | |
| 1276 {not in Vi} | |
| 1277 When this option is set, the buffer shows up in the buffer list. If | |
| 1278 it is reset it is not used for ":bnext", "ls", the Buffers menu, etc. | |
| 1279 This option is reset by Vim for buffers that are only used to remember | |
| 1280 a file name or marks. Vim sets it when starting to edit a buffer. | |
| 1281 But not when moving to a buffer with ":buffer". | |
| 1282 | |
| 1283 *'buftype'* *'bt'* *E382* | |
| 1284 'buftype' 'bt' string (default: "") | |
| 1285 local to buffer | |
| 1286 {not in Vi} | |
| 1287 {not available when compiled without the |+quickfix| | |
| 1288 feature} | |
| 1289 The value of this option specifies the type of a buffer: | |
| 1290 <empty> normal buffer | |
| 1291 nofile buffer which is not related to a file and will not be | |
| 1292 written | |
| 1293 nowrite buffer which will not be written | |
| 17 | 1294 acwrite buffer which will always be written with BufWriteCmd |
| 856 | 1295 autocommands. {not available when compiled without the |
| 17 | 1296 |+autocmd| feature} |
| 7 | 1297 quickfix quickfix buffer, contains list of errors |:cwindow| |
| 648 | 1298 or list of locations |:lwindow| |
| 7 | 1299 help help buffer (you are not supposed to set this |
| 1300 manually) | |
| 1301 | |
| 1302 This option is used together with 'bufhidden' and 'swapfile' to | |
| 1303 specify special kinds of buffers. See |special-buffers|. | |
| 1304 | |
| 1305 Be careful with changing this option, it can have many side effects! | |
| 1306 | |
| 648 | 1307 A "quickfix" buffer is only used for the error list and the location |
| 1308 list. This value is set by the |:cwindow| and |:lwindow| commands and | |
| 1309 you are not supposed to change it. | |
| 7 | 1310 |
| 1311 "nofile" and "nowrite" buffers are similar: | |
| 1312 both: The buffer is not to be written to disk, ":w" doesn't | |
| 1313 work (":w filename" does work though). | |
| 1314 both: The buffer is never considered to be |'modified'|. | |
| 1315 There is no warning when the changes will be lost, for | |
| 1316 example when you quit Vim. | |
| 1317 both: A swap file is only created when using too much memory | |
| 1318 (when 'swapfile' has been reset there is never a swap | |
| 1319 file). | |
| 1320 nofile only: The buffer name is fixed, it is not handled like a | |
| 1321 file name. It is not modified in response to a |:cd| | |
| 1322 command. | |
| 17 | 1323 *E676* |
| 1324 "acwrite" implies that the buffer name is not related to a file, like | |
| 1325 "nofile", but it will be written. Thus, in contrast to "nofile" and | |
| 1326 "nowrite", ":w" does work and a modified buffer can't be abandoned | |
| 1327 without saving. For writing there must be matching |BufWriteCmd|, | |
| 1328 |FileWriteCmd| or |FileAppendCmd| autocommands. | |

| 804 | 1334 {only available when compiled with the |+multi_byte| |
| 1335 feature} | |
| 7 | 1336 Specifies details about changing the case of letters. It may contain |
| 1337 these words, separated by a comma: | |
| 1338 internal Use internal case mapping functions, the current | |
| 1339 locale does not change the case mapping. This only | |
| 493 | 1340 matters when 'encoding' is a Unicode encoding, |
| 1341 "latin1" or "iso-8859-15". When "internal" is | |
| 1342 omitted, the towupper() and towlower() system library | |
| 1343 functions are used when available. | |
| 7 | 1344 keepascii For the ASCII characters (0x00 to 0x7f) use the US |
| 1345 case mapping, the current locale is not effective. | |
| 1346 This probably only matters for Turkish. | |
| 1347 | |
| 1348 *'cdpath'* *'cd'* *E344* *E346* | |

| 1353 |+file_in_path| feature} | |
| 1354 This is a list of directories which will be searched when using the | |
| 1355 |:cd| and |:lcd| commands, provided that the directory being searched | |
| 1668 | 1356 for has a relative path, not an absolute part starting with "/", "./" |
| 1357 or "../", the 'cdpath' option is not used then. | |
| 7 | 1358 The 'cdpath' option's value has the same form and semantics as |
| 1359 |'path'|. Also see |file-searching|. | |
| 1360 The default value is taken from $CDPATH, with a "," prepended to look | |
| 1361 in the current directory first. | |
| 1362 If the default value taken from $CDPATH is not what you want, include | |
| 1363 a modified version of the following command in your vimrc file to | |
| 1364 override it: > | |
| 1365 :let &cdpath = ',' . substitute(substitute($CDPATH, '[, ]', '\\\0', 'g'), ':', ',', 'g') | |
| 1366 < This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for | |

| 1378 Only non-printable keys are allowed. | |
| 1379 The key can be specified as a single character, but it is difficult to | |
| 1380 type. The preferred way is to use the <> notation. Examples: > | |

1390 and |+eval| features} |
| 7 | 1391 {not in Vi} |
| 1392 An expression that is used for character encoding conversion. It is | |
| 1393 evaluated when a file that is to be read or has been written has a | |
| 1394 different encoding from what is desired. | |
| 1395 'charconvert' is not used when the internal iconv() function is | |
| 1396 supported and is able to do the conversion. Using iconv() is | |
| 1397 preferred, because it is much faster. | |
| 1398 'charconvert' is not used when reading stdin |--|, because there is no | |
| 1399 file to convert from. You will have to save the text in a file first. | |
| 1400 The expression must return zero or an empty string for success, | |
| 1401 non-zero for failure. | |
| 1402 The possible encoding names encountered are in 'encoding'. | |
| 1403 Additionally, names given in 'fileencodings' and 'fileencoding' are | |
| 1404 used. | |
| 1405 Conversion between "latin1", "unicode", "ucs-2", "ucs-4" and "utf-8" | |
| 1406 is done internally by Vim, 'charconvert' is not used for this. | |
| 1407 'charconvert' is also used to convert the viminfo file, if the 'c' | |
| 1408 flag is present in 'viminfo'. Also used for Unicode conversion. | |
| 1409 Example: > | |
| 1410 set charconvert=CharConvert() | |
| 1411 fun CharConvert() | |
| 1412 system("recode " | |
| 1413 \ . v:charconvert_from . ".." . v:charconvert_to | |
| 1414 \ . " <" . v:fname_in . " >" v:fname_out) | |
| 1415 return v:shell_error | |
| 1416 endfun | |
| 1417 < The related Vim variables are: | |
| 1418 v:charconvert_from name of the current encoding | |
| 1419 v:charconvert_to name of the desired encoding | |
| 1420 v:fname_in name of the input file | |
| 1421 v:fname_out name of the output file | |
| 1422 Note that v:fname_in and v:fname_out will never be the same. | |
| 1423 Note that v:charconvert_from and v:charconvert_to may be different | |
| 1424 from 'encoding'. Vim internally uses UTF-8 instead of UCS-2 or UCS-4. | |
| 1425 Encryption is not done by Vim when using 'charconvert'. If you want | |
| 1426 to encrypt the file after conversion, 'charconvert' should take care | |
| 1427 of this. | |
| 1428 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for | |
| 1429 security reasons. | |
| 1430 | |
| 1431 *'cindent'* *'cin'* *'nocindent'* *'nocin'* | |
| 1432 'cindent' 'cin' boolean (default off) | |
| 1433 local to buffer | |
| 1434 {not in Vi} | |
| 1435 {not available when compiled without the |+cindent| | |
| 1436 feature} | |
| 1621 | 1437 Enables automatic C program indenting. See 'cinkeys' to set the keys |
| 7 | 1438 that trigger reindenting in insert mode and 'cinoptions' to set your |
| 1439 preferred indent style. | |
| 1440 If 'indentexpr' is not empty, it overrules 'cindent'. | |
| 1441 If 'lisp' is not on and both 'indentexpr' and 'equalprg' are empty, | |
| 1442 the "=" operator indents using this algorithm rather than calling an | |
| 1443 external program. | |
| 1444 See |C-indenting|. | |
| 1445 When you don't like the way 'cindent' works, try the 'smartindent' | |
| 1446 option or 'indentexpr'. | |
| 1447 This option is not used when 'paste' is set. | |
| 1448 NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. | |
| 1449 | |
| 1450 *'cinkeys'* *'cink'* | |

| 1453 {not in Vi} | |
| 1454 {not available when compiled without the |+cindent| | |
| 1455 feature} | |
| 1456 A list of keys that, when typed in Insert mode, cause reindenting of | |
| 1457 the current line. Only used if 'cindent' is on and 'indentexpr' is | |
| 1458 empty. | |
| 1459 For the format of this option see |cinkeys-format|. | |
| 1460 See |C-indenting|. | |

| 1465 {not in Vi} | |
| 1466 {not available when compiled without the |+cindent| | |
| 1467 feature} | |
| 1468 The 'cinoptions' affect the way 'cindent' reindents lines in a C | |
| 1469 program. See |cinoptions-values| for the values of this option, and | |
| 1470 |C-indenting| for info on C indenting in general. | |
| 1471 | |

| 1476 {not in Vi} | |
| 1477 {not available when compiled without both the | |
| 1478 |+cindent| and the |+smartindent| features} | |
| 1479 These keywords start an extra indent in the next line when | |
| 1480 'smartindent' or 'cindent' is set. For 'cindent' this is only done at | |
| 1481 an appropriate place (inside {}). | |
| 1482 Note that 'ignorecase' isn't used for 'cinwords'. If case doesn't | |
| 1483 matter, include the keyword both the uppercase and lowercase: | |
| 1484 "if,If,IF". | |
| 1485 | |
| 1486 *'clipboard'* *'cb'* | |
| 1487 'clipboard' 'cb' string (default "autoselect,exclude:cons\|linux" | |
| 1488 for X-windows, "" otherwise) | |
| 1489 global | |
| 1490 {not in Vi} | |
| 1491 {only in GUI versions or when the |+xterm_clipboard| | |
| 1492 feature is included} | |
| 1493 This option is a list of comma separated names. | |
| 1494 These names are recognized: | |
| 1495 | |
| 3674 | 1496 *clipboard-unnamed* |
| 7 | 1497 unnamed When included, Vim will use the clipboard register '*' |
| 1498 for all yank, delete, change and put operations which | |
| 1499 would normally go to the unnamed register. When a | |
| 1500 register is explicitly specified, it will always be | |
| 1501 used regardless of whether "unnamed" is in 'clipboard' | |
| 1502 or not. The clipboard register can always be | |
| 1503 explicitly accessed using the "* notation. Also see | |
| 1504 |gui-clipboard|. | |
| 1505 | |
| 3682 | 1506 *clipboard-unnamedplus* |
| 4119 | 1507 unnamedplus A variant of the "unnamed" flag which uses the |
| 1508 clipboard register '+' (|quoteplus|) instead of | |
| 1509 register '*' for all yank, delete, change and put | |
| 1510 operations which would normally go to the unnamed | |
| 1511 register. When "unnamed" is also included to the | |
| 1512 option, yank operations (but not delete, change or | |
| 1513 put) will additionally copy the text into register | |
| 1514 '*'. | |
| 2662 | 1515 Only available with the |+X11| feature. |
| 2654 | 1516 Availability can be checked with: > |
| 1517 if has('unnamedplus') | |
| 1518 < | |
| 3682 | 1519 *clipboard-autoselect* |
| 7 | 1520 autoselect Works like the 'a' flag in 'guioptions': If present, |
| 1521 then whenever Visual mode is started, or the Visual | |
| 1522 area extended, Vim tries to become the owner of the | |
| 1523 windowing system's global selection or put the | |
| 1524 selected text on the clipboard used by the selection | |
| 1525 register "*. See |guioptions_a| and |quotestar| for | |
| 1526 details. When the GUI is active, the 'a' flag in | |
| 1527 'guioptions' is used, when the GUI is not active, this | |
| 1528 "autoselect" flag is used. | |
| 1529 Also applies to the modeless selection. | |
| 1530 | |
| 3674 | 1531 *clipboard-autoselectplus* |
| 1532 autoselectplus Like "autoselect" but using the + register instead of | |
| 1533 the * register. Compare to the 'P' flag in | |
| 1534 'guioptions'. | |
| 1535 | |
| 1536 *clipboard-autoselectml* | |
| 7 | 1537 autoselectml Like "autoselect", but for the modeless selection |
| 1538 only. Compare to the 'A' flag in 'guioptions'. | |
| 1539 | |
| 3674 | 1540 *clipboard-html* |
| 1904 | 1541 html When the clipboard contains HTML, use this when |
| 1542 pasting. When putting text on the clipboard, mark it | |
| 1543 as HTML. This works to copy rendered HTML from | |
| 1544 Firefox, paste it as raw HTML in Vim, select the HTML | |
| 1545 in Vim and paste it in a rich edit box in Firefox. | |

| 1550 | |
| 3674 | 1551 *clipboard-exclude* |
| 7 | 1552 exclude:{pattern} |
| 1553 Defines a pattern that is matched against the name of | |
| 1554 the terminal 'term'. If there is a match, no | |
| 1555 connection will be made to the X server. This is | |
| 1556 useful in this situation: | |
| 1557 - Running Vim in a console. | |
| 1558 - $DISPLAY is set to start applications on another | |
| 1559 display. | |
| 1560 - You do not want to connect to the X server in the | |
| 1561 console, but do want this in a terminal emulator. | |
| 1562 To never connect to the X server use: > | |
| 1563 exclude:.* | |
| 1564 < This has the same effect as using the |-X| argument. | |
| 1565 Note that when there is no connection to the X server | |
| 1566 the window title won't be restored and the clipboard | |
| 1567 cannot be accessed. | |
| 1568 The value of 'magic' is ignored, {pattern} is | |
| 1569 interpreted as if 'magic' was on. | |
| 1570 The rest of the option value will be used for | |
| 1571 {pattern}, this must be the last entry. | |
| 1572 | |
| 1573 *'cmdheight'* *'ch'* | |
| 1574 'cmdheight' 'ch' number (default 1) | |
| 1575 global | |
| 1576 {not in Vi} | |
| 1577 Number of screen lines to use for the command-line. Helps avoiding | |
| 1578 |hit-enter| prompts. | |
| 824 | 1579 The value of this option is stored with the tab page, so that each tab |
| 1580 page can have a different value. | |

| 1582 *'cmdwinheight'* *'cwh'* | |
| 1583 'cmdwinheight' 'cwh' number (default 7) | |

| 7 | 1609 *'columns'* *'co'* *E594* |
| 1610 'columns' 'co' number (default 80 or terminal width) | |
| 1611 global | |
| 1612 {not in Vi} | |
| 1613 Number of columns of the screen. Normally this is set by the terminal | |
| 161 | 1614 initialization and does not have to be set by hand. Also see |
| 1615 |posix-screen-size|. | |
| 7 | 1616 When Vim is running in the GUI or in a resizable window, setting this |
| 1617 option will cause the window size to be changed. When you only want | |
| 1618 to use the size for the GUI, put the command in your |gvimrc| file. | |
| 1619 When you set this option and Vim is unable to change the physical | |
| 1152 | 1620 number of columns of the display, the display may be messed up. For |
| 1621 the GUI it is always possible and Vim limits the number of columns to | |
| 1622 what fits on the screen. You can use this command to get the widest | |
| 1623 window possible: > | |
| 1624 :set columns=9999 | |

| 1630 local to buffer | |
| 1631 {not in Vi} | |
| 1632 {not available when compiled without the |+comments| | |

| 1643 feature} | |
| 1644 A template for a comment. The "%s" in the value is replaced with the | |
| 1645 comment text. Currently only used to add markers for folding, see | |
| 1646 |fold-marker|. | |
| 1647 | |
| 1648 *'compatible'* *'cp'* *'nocompatible'* *'nocp'* | |
| 819 | 1649 'compatible' 'cp' boolean (default on, off when a |vimrc| or |gvimrc| |
| 1650 file is found) | |
| 7 | 1651 global |
| 1652 {not in Vi} | |
| 1653 This option has the effect of making Vim either more Vi-compatible, or | |
| 1654 make Vim behave in a more useful way. | |
| 1655 This is a special kind of option, because when it's set or reset, | |
| 1656 other options are also changed as a side effect. CAREFUL: Setting or | |
| 1657 resetting this option can have a lot of unexpected effects: Mappings | |
| 10 | 1658 are interpreted in another way, undo behaves differently, etc. If you |
| 7 | 1659 set this option in your vimrc file, you should probably put it at the |
| 1660 very start. | |
| 1661 By default this option is on and the Vi defaults are used for the | |
| 1662 options. This default was chosen for those people who want to use Vim | |
| 1663 just like Vi, and don't even (want to) know about the 'compatible' | |
| 1664 option. | |
| 819 | 1665 When a |vimrc| or |gvimrc| file is found while Vim is starting up, |
| 378 | 1666 this option is switched off, and all options that have not been |
| 1667 modified will be set to the Vim defaults. Effectively, this means | |
| 819 | 1668 that when a |vimrc| or |gvimrc| file exists, Vim will use the Vim |
| 378 | 1669 defaults, otherwise it will use the Vi defaults. (Note: This doesn't |
| 1152 | 1670 happen for the system-wide vimrc or gvimrc file, nor for a file given |
| 1671 with the |-u| argument). Also see |compatible-default| and | |
| 1672 |posix-compliance|. | |
| 7 | 1673 You can also set this option with the "-C" argument, and reset it with |
| 1674 "-N". See |-C| and |-N|. | |
| 1675 Switching this option off makes the Vim defaults be used for options | |
| 1676 that have a different Vi and Vim default value. See the options | |
| 1677 marked with a '+' below. Other options are not modified. | |
| 1678 At the moment this option is set, several other options will be set | |
| 1679 or reset to make Vim as Vi-compatible as possible. See the table | |
| 10 | 1680 below. This can be used if you want to revert to Vi compatible |
| 7 | 1681 editing. |

| 1744 when CTRL-P or CTRL-N are used. It is also used for whole-line | |
| 1745 completion |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-L|. It indicates the type of completion | |
| 1746 and the places to scan. It is a comma separated list of flags: | |
| 4186 | 1747 . scan the current buffer ( 'wrapscan' is ignored) |
| 7 | 1748 w scan buffers from other windows |
| 1749 b scan other loaded buffers that are in the buffer list | |
| 1750 u scan the unloaded buffers that are in the buffer list | |
| 1751 U scan the buffers that are not in the buffer list | |
| 1752 k scan the files given with the 'dictionary' option | |
| 703 | 1753 kspell use the currently active spell checking |spell| |
| 7 | 1754 k{dict} scan the file {dict}. Several "k" flags can be given, |
| 1755 patterns are valid too. For example: > | |
| 1756 :set cpt=k/usr/dict/*,k~/spanish | |
| 1757 < s scan the files given with the 'thesaurus' option | |
| 1758 s{tsr} scan the file {tsr}. Several "s" flags can be given, patterns | |
| 1759 are valid too. | |
| 1760 i scan current and included files | |
| 1761 d scan current and included files for defined name or macro | |
| 1762 |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-D| | |
| 1763 ] tag completion | |
| 1764 t same as "]" | |
| 1765 | |
| 1766 Unloaded buffers are not loaded, thus their autocmds |:autocmd| are | |
| 1767 not executed, this may lead to unexpected completions from some files | |
| 1768 (gzipped files for example). Unloaded buffers are not scanned for | |
| 1769 whole-line completion. | |
| 1770 | |
| 1771 The default is ".,w,b,u,t,i", which means to scan: | |
| 1772 1. the current buffer | |
| 1773 2. buffers in other windows | |
| 1774 3. other loaded buffers | |
| 1775 4. unloaded buffers | |
| 1776 5. tags | |
| 1777 6. included files | |
| 1778 | |
| 1779 As you can see, CTRL-N and CTRL-P can be used to do any 'iskeyword'- | |
| 233 | 1780 based expansion (e.g., dictionary |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-K|, included patterns |
| 1781 |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-I|, tags |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-]| and normal expansions). | |

| 1874 'confirm' 'cf' boolean (default off) | |
| 1875 global | |
| 1876 {not in Vi} | |
| 1877 When 'confirm' is on, certain operations that would normally | |
| 1878 fail because of unsaved changes to a buffer, e.g. ":q" and ":e", | |
| 1879 instead raise a |dialog| asking if you wish to save the current | |
| 1880 file(s). You can still use a ! to unconditionally |abandon| a buffer. | |
| 1881 If 'confirm' is off you can still activate confirmation for one | |
| 1882 command only (this is most useful in mappings) with the |:confirm| | |
| 1883 command. | |
| 1884 Also see the |confirm()| function and the 'v' flag in 'guioptions'. | |

| 10 | 1891 This should work in most cases. Also see |'bioskey'|. Together, |
| 7 | 1892 three methods of console input are available: |
| 1893 'conskey' 'bioskey' action ~ | |

| 1901 {not in Vi} | |
| 1902 Copy the structure of the existing lines indent when autoindenting a | |
| 1903 new line. Normally the new indent is reconstructed by a series of | |
| 1904 tabs followed by spaces as required (unless |'expandtab'| is enabled, | |
| 1905 in which case only spaces are used). Enabling this option makes the | |
| 1906 new line copy whatever characters were used for indenting on the | |
| 1621 | 1907 existing line. 'expandtab' has no effect on these characters, a Tab |
| 1908 remains a Tab. If the new indent is greater than on the existing | |
| 7 | 1909 line, the remaining space is filled in the normal manner. |
| 1910 NOTE: 'copyindent' is reset when 'compatible' is set. | |
| 1911 Also see 'preserveindent'. | |

| 1918 A sequence of single character flags. When a character is present | |
| 5340 | 1919 this indicates Vi-compatible behavior. This is used for things where |
| 1920 not being Vi-compatible is mostly or sometimes preferred. | |
| 7 | 1921 'cpoptions' stands for "compatible-options". |
| 1922 Commas can be added for readability. | |
| 1923 To avoid problems with flags that are added in the future, use the | |
| 1924 "+=" and "-=" feature of ":set" |add-option-flags|. | |
| 1925 NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is | |
| 1926 set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. | |
| 164 | 1927 NOTE: This option is set to the POSIX default value at startup when |
| 1928 the Vi default value would be used and the $VIM_POSIX environment | |

1930 POSIX specification. |
| 7 | 1931 |
| 1932 contains behavior ~ | |
| 1933 *cpo-a* | |
| 1934 a When included, a ":read" command with a file name | |
| 1935 argument will set the alternate file name for the | |
| 1936 current window. | |
| 1937 *cpo-A* | |
| 1938 A When included, a ":write" command with a file name | |
| 1939 argument will set the alternate file name for the | |
| 1940 current window. | |
| 1941 *cpo-b* | |
| 1942 b "\|" in a ":map" command is recognized as the end of | |
| 1943 the map command. The '\' is included in the mapping, | |
| 1944 the text after the '|' is interpreted as the next | |
| 1945 command. Use a CTRL-V instead of a backslash to | |
| 1946 include the '|' in the mapping. Applies to all | |
| 1947 mapping, abbreviation, menu and autocmd commands. | |
| 1948 See also |map_bar|. | |
| 1949 *cpo-B* | |
| 1950 B A backslash has no special meaning in mappings, | |
| 1951 abbreviations and the "to" part of the menu commands. | |
| 1952 Remove this flag to be able to use a backslash like a | |
| 1953 CTRL-V. For example, the command ":map X \<Esc>" | |
| 1954 results in X being mapped to: | |
| 1955 'B' included: "\^[" (^[ is a real <Esc>) | |
| 1956 'B' excluded: "<Esc>" (5 characters) | |
| 1957 ('<' excluded in both cases) | |
| 1958 *cpo-c* | |
| 1959 c Searching continues at the end of any match at the | |
| 1960 cursor position, but not further than the start of the | |
| 1961 next line. When not present searching continues | |
| 1962 one character from the cursor position. With 'c' | |
| 1963 "abababababab" only gets three matches when repeating | |
| 1964 "/abab", without 'c' there are five matches. | |
| 1965 *cpo-C* | |
| 1966 C Do not concatenate sourced lines that start with a | |
| 1967 backslash. See |line-continuation|. | |
| 1968 *cpo-d* | |
| 1969 d Using "./" in the 'tags' option doesn't mean to use | |
| 1970 the tags file relative to the current file, but the | |
| 1971 tags file in the current directory. | |
| 1972 *cpo-D* | |
| 1973 D Can't use CTRL-K to enter a digraph after Normal mode | |
| 1974 commands with a character argument, like |r|, |f| and | |
| 1975 |t|. | |
| 1976 *cpo-e* | |
| 1977 e When executing a register with ":@r", always add a | |
| 1978 <CR> to the last line, also when the register is not | |
| 1979 linewise. If this flag is not present, the register | |
| 1980 is not linewise and the last line does not end in a | |
| 1981 <CR>, then the last line is put on the command-line | |
| 1982 and can be edited before hitting <CR>. | |
| 1983 *cpo-E* | |
| 1984 E It is an error when using "y", "d", "c", "g~", "gu" or | |
| 1985 "gU" on an Empty region. The operators only work when | |
| 1986 at least one character is to be operate on. Example: | |
| 1987 This makes "y0" fail in the first column. | |
| 1988 *cpo-f* | |
| 1989 f When included, a ":read" command with a file name | |
| 1990 argument will set the file name for the current buffer, | |
| 1991 if the current buffer doesn't have a file name yet. | |
| 1992 *cpo-F* | |
| 1993 F When included, a ":write" command with a file name | |
| 1994 argument will set the file name for the current | |
| 1995 buffer, if the current buffer doesn't have a file name | |
| 590 | 1996 yet. Also see |cpo-P|. |
| 7 | 1997 *cpo-g* |
| 1998 g Goto line 1 when using ":edit" without argument. | |
| 164 | 1999 *cpo-H* |
| 2000 H When using "I" on a line with only blanks, insert | |
| 2001 before the last blank. Without this flag insert after | |
| 2002 the last blank. | |
| 7 | 2003 *cpo-i* |
| 2004 i When included, interrupting the reading of a file will | |
| 2005 leave it modified. | |
| 10 | 2006 *cpo-I* |
| 2007 I When moving the cursor up or down just after inserting | |
| 2008 indent for 'autoindent', do not delete the indent. | |
| 7 | 2009 *cpo-j* |
| 2010 j When joining lines, only add two spaces after a '.', | |
| 2011 not after '!' or '?'. Also see 'joinspaces'. | |
| 2012 *cpo-J* | |
| 2013 J A |sentence| has to be followed by two spaces after | |
| 233 | 2014 the '.', '!' or '?'. A <Tab> is not recognized as |
| 7 | 2015 white space. |
| 2016 *cpo-k* | |
| 2017 k Disable the recognition of raw key codes in | |
| 2018 mappings, abbreviations, and the "to" part of menu | |
| 2019 commands. For example, if <Key> sends ^[OA (where ^[ | |
| 2020 is <Esc>), the command ":map X ^[OA" results in X | |
| 2021 being mapped to: | |
| 2022 'k' included: "^[OA" (3 characters) | |
| 2023 'k' excluded: "<Key>" (one key code) | |
| 2024 Also see the '<' flag below. | |
| 2025 *cpo-K* | |
| 2026 K Don't wait for a key code to complete when it is | |
| 2027 halfway a mapping. This breaks mapping <F1><F1> when | |
| 2028 only part of the second <F1> has been read. It | |
| 2029 enables cancelling the mapping by typing <F1><Esc>. | |
| 2030 *cpo-l* | |
| 2031 l Backslash in a [] range in a search pattern is taken | |
| 168 | 2032 literally, only "\]", "\^", "\-" and "\\" are special. |
| 2033 See |/[]| | |
| 7 | 2034 'l' included: "/[ \t]" finds <Space>, '\' and 't' |
| 2035 'l' excluded: "/[ \t]" finds <Space> and <Tab> | |
| 168 | 2036 Also see |cpo-\|. |
| 7 | 2037 *cpo-L* |
| 2038 L When the 'list' option is set, 'wrapmargin', | |
| 2039 'textwidth', 'softtabstop' and Virtual Replace mode | |
| 2040 (see |gR|) count a <Tab> as two characters, instead of | |
| 2041 the normal behavior of a <Tab>. | |
| 2042 *cpo-m* | |
| 2043 m When included, a showmatch will always wait half a | |
| 2044 second. When not included, a showmatch will wait half | |
| 2045 a second or until a character is typed. |'showmatch'| | |
| 2046 *cpo-M* | |
| 2047 M When excluded, "%" matching will take backslashes into | |
| 2048 account. Thus in "( \( )" and "\( ( \)" the outer | |
| 2049 parenthesis match. When included "%" ignores | |
| 2050 backslashes, which is Vi compatible. | |

| 2068 file will set the file name for the current buffer, if | |
| 2069 the current buffer doesn't have a file name yet and | |
| 2070 the 'F' flag is also included |cpo-F|. | |
| 164 | 2071 *cpo-q* |
| 2072 q When joining multiple lines leave the cursor at the | |
| 2073 position where it would be when joining two lines. | |
| 7 | 2074 *cpo-r* |
| 2075 r Redo ("." command) uses "/" to repeat a search | |
| 2076 command, instead of the actually used search string. | |
| 2077 *cpo-R* | |
| 2078 R Remove marks from filtered lines. Without this flag | |
| 2079 marks are kept like |:keepmarks| was used. | |
| 2080 *cpo-s* | |
| 2081 s Set buffer options when entering the buffer for the | |
| 2082 first time. This is like it is in Vim version 3.0. | |
| 10 | 2083 And it is the default. If not present the options are |
| 7 | 2084 set when the buffer is created. |
| 2085 *cpo-S* | |
| 2086 S Set buffer options always when entering a buffer | |
| 2087 (except 'readonly', 'fileformat', 'filetype' and | |
| 2088 'syntax'). This is the (most) Vi compatible setting. | |
| 2089 The options are set to the values in the current | |
| 2090 buffer. When you change an option and go to another | |
| 2091 buffer, the value is copied. Effectively makes the | |
| 2092 buffer options global to all buffers. | |
| 2093 | |
| 2094 's' 'S' copy buffer options | |
| 2095 no no when buffer created | |
| 2096 yes no when buffer first entered (default) | |
| 2097 X yes each time when buffer entered (vi comp.) | |
| 2098 *cpo-t* | |
| 2099 t Search pattern for the tag command is remembered for | |
| 2100 "n" command. Otherwise Vim only puts the pattern in | |
| 2101 the history for search pattern, but doesn't change the | |
| 2102 last used search pattern. | |
| 2103 *cpo-u* | |
| 10 | 2104 u Undo is Vi compatible. See |undo-two-ways|. |
| 7 | 2105 *cpo-v* |
| 2106 v Backspaced characters remain visible on the screen in | |
| 2107 Insert mode. Without this flag the characters are | |
| 2108 erased from the screen right away. With this flag the | |
| 2109 screen newly typed text overwrites backspaced | |
| 2110 characters. | |
| 2111 *cpo-w* | |
| 2112 w When using "cw" on a blank character, only change one | |
| 2113 character and not all blanks until the start of the | |
| 2114 next word. | |
| 2115 *cpo-W* | |
| 2116 W Don't overwrite a readonly file. When omitted, ":w!" | |
| 2117 overwrites a readonly file, if possible. | |
| 2118 *cpo-x* | |
| 2119 x <Esc> on the command-line executes the command-line. | |
| 2120 The default in Vim is to abandon the command-line, | |
| 2121 because <Esc> normally aborts a command. |c_<Esc>| | |
| 164 | 2122 *cpo-X* |
| 2123 X When using a count with "R" the replaced text is | |
| 2124 deleted only once. Also when repeating "R" with "." | |
| 2125 and a count. | |
| 7 | 2126 *cpo-y* |
| 2127 y A yank command can be redone with ".". | |
| 164 | 2128 *cpo-Z* |
| 2129 Z When using "w!" while the 'readonly' option is set, | |
| 2130 don't reset 'readonly'. | |
| 7 | 2131 *cpo-!* |
| 2132 ! When redoing a filter command, use the last used | |
| 2133 external command, whatever it was. Otherwise the last | |
| 2134 used -filter- command is used. | |
| 2135 *cpo-$* | |
| 2136 $ When making a change to one line, don't redisplay the | |
| 2137 line, but put a '$' at the end of the changed text. | |
| 2138 The changed text will be overwritten when you type the | |
| 2139 new text. The line is redisplayed if you type any | |
| 2140 command that moves the cursor from the insertion | |
| 2141 point. | |
| 2142 *cpo-%* | |
| 2143 % Vi-compatible matching is done for the "%" command. | |
| 2144 Does not recognize "#if", "#endif", etc. | |
| 2145 Does not recognize "/*" and "*/". | |
| 2146 Parens inside single and double quotes are also | |
| 2147 counted, causing a string that contains a paren to | |
| 2148 disturb the matching. For example, in a line like | |
| 2149 "if (strcmp("foo(", s))" the first paren does not | |
| 2150 match the last one. When this flag is not included, | |
| 2151 parens inside single and double quotes are treated | |
| 2152 specially. When matching a paren outside of quotes, | |
| 2153 everything inside quotes is ignored. When matching a | |
| 2154 paren inside quotes, it will find the matching one (if | |
| 10 | 2155 there is one). This works very well for C programs. |
| 36 | 2156 This flag is also used for other features, such as |
| 2157 C-indenting. | |
| 161 | 2158 *cpo--* |
| 2159 - When included, a vertical movement command fails when | |
| 632 | 2160 it would go above the first line or below the last |
| 2161 line. Without it the cursor moves to the first or | |
| 2162 last line, unless it already was in that line. | |
| 161 | 2163 Applies to the commands "-", "k", CTRL-P, "+", "j", |
| 632 | 2164 CTRL-N, CTRL-J and ":1234". |
| 39 | 2165 *cpo-+* |
| 2166 + When included, a ":write file" command will reset the | |
| 2167 'modified' flag of the buffer, even though the buffer | |
| 2168 itself may still be different from its file. | |
| 856 | 2169 *cpo-star* |
| 7 | 2170 * Use ":*" in the same way as ":@". When not included, |
| 2171 ":*" is an alias for ":'<,'>", select the Visual area. | |
| 2172 *cpo-<* | |
| 2173 < Disable the recognition of special key codes in |<>| | |
| 2174 form in mappings, abbreviations, and the "to" part of | |
| 10 | 2175 menu commands. For example, the command |
| 7 | 2176 ":map X <Tab>" results in X being mapped to: |
| 2177 '<' included: "<Tab>" (5 characters) | |
| 2178 '<' excluded: "^I" (^I is a real <Tab>) | |
| 2179 Also see the 'k' flag above. | |
| 164 | 2180 *cpo->* |
| 2181 > When appending to a register, put a line break before | |
| 2182 the appended text. | |
| 2925 | 2183 *cpo-;* |
| 2184 ; When using |,| or |;| to repeat the last |t| search | |
| 2185 and the cursor is right in front of the searched | |
| 2186 character, the cursor won't move. When not included, | |
| 2187 the cursor would skip over it and jump to the | |
| 3557 | 2188 following occurrence. |
| 164 | 2189 |
| 2190 POSIX flags. These are not included in the Vi default value, except | |
| 2191 when $VIM_POSIX was set on startup. |posix| | |
| 2192 | |
| 2193 contains behavior ~ | |
| 856 | 2194 *cpo-#* |
| 164 | 2195 # A count before "D", "o" and "O" has no effect. |
| 168 | 2196 *cpo-&* |
| 2197 & When ":preserve" was used keep the swap file when | |
| 2198 exiting normally while this buffer is still loaded. | |
| 2199 This flag is tested when exiting. | |
| 2200 *cpo-\* | |
| 2201 \ Backslash in a [] range in a search pattern is taken | |
| 2202 literally, only "\]" is special See |/[]| | |
| 488 | 2203 '\' included: "/[ \-]" finds <Space>, '\' and '-' |
| 2204 '\' excluded: "/[ \-]" finds <Space> and '-' | |
| 2205 Also see |cpo-l|. | |
| 168 | 2206 *cpo-/* |
| 2207 / When "%" is used as the replacement string in a |:s| | |
| 2208 command, use the previous replacement string. |:s%| | |
| 164 | 2209 *cpo-{* |
| 2210 { The |{| and |}| commands also stop at a "{" character | |
| 2211 at the start of a line. | |
| 168 | 2212 *cpo-.* |
| 2213 . The ":chdir" and ":cd" commands fail if the current | |
| 2214 buffer is modified, unless ! is used. Vim doesn't | |
| 2215 need this, since it remembers the full path of an | |
| 2216 opened file. | |
| 164 | 2217 *cpo-bar* |
| 2218 | The value of the $LINES and $COLUMNS environment | |
| 2219 variables overrule the terminal size values obtained | |
| 2220 with system specific functions. | |

| 10 | 2390 Pattern to be used to find a macro definition. It is a search |
| 7 | 2391 pattern, just like for the "/" command. This option is used for the |
| 2392 commands like "[i" and "[d" |include-search|. The 'isident' option is | |
| 2393 used to recognize the defined name after the match: | |
| 2394 {match with 'define'}{non-ID chars}{defined name}{non-ID char} | |
| 2395 See |option-backslash| about inserting backslashes to include a space | |
| 2396 or backslash. | |
| 2397 The default value is for C programs. For C++ this value would be | |
| 2398 useful, to include const type declarations: > | |
| 2399 ^\(#\s*define\|[a-z]*\s*const\s*[a-z]*\) | |

| 2410 default) the character along with its combining characters are | |
| 2411 deleted. | |
| 2412 Note: When 'delcombine' is set "xx" may work different from "2x"! | |
| 2413 | |
| 2414 This is useful for Arabic, Hebrew and many other languages where one | |
| 2415 may have combining characters overtop of base characters, and want | |
| 2416 to remove only the combining ones. | |

| 2422 List of file names, separated by commas, that are used to lookup words | |
| 2423 for keyword completion commands |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-K|. Each file should | |
| 2424 contain a list of words. This can be one word per line, or several | |
| 2425 words per line, separated by non-keyword characters (white space is | |
| 2426 preferred). Maximum line length is 510 bytes. | |
| 703 | 2427 When this option is empty, or an entry "spell" is present, spell |
| 2428 checking is enabled the currently active spelling is used. |spell| | |
| 10 | 2429 To include a comma in a file name precede it with a backslash. Spaces |
| 7 | 2430 after a comma are ignored, otherwise spaces are included in the file |
| 2431 name. See |option-backslash| about using backslashes. | |
| 99 | 2432 This has nothing to do with the |Dictionary| variable type. |
| 7 | 2433 Where to find a list of words? |
| 2434 - On FreeBSD, there is the file "/usr/share/dict/words". | |
| 2435 - In the Simtel archive, look in the "msdos/linguist" directory. | |
| 2436 - In "miscfiles" of the GNU collection. | |
| 2437 The use of |:set+=| and |:set-=| is preferred when adding or removing | |
| 2438 directories from the list. This avoids problems when a future version | |
| 2439 uses another default. | |
| 2440 Backticks cannot be used in this option for security reasons. | |

| 10 | 2468 Option settings for diff mode. It can consist of the following items. |
| 7 | 2469 All are optional. Items must be separated by a comma. |
| 2470 | |
| 2471 filler Show filler lines, to keep the text | |
| 2472 synchronized with a window that has inserted | |
| 2473 lines at the same position. Mostly useful | |
| 2474 when windows are side-by-side and 'scrollbind' | |
| 2475 is set. | |
| 2476 | |
| 2477 context:{n} Use a context of {n} lines between a change | |
| 2478 and a fold that contains unchanged lines. | |
| 2479 When omitted a context of six lines is used. | |
| 2480 See |fold-diff|. | |
| 2481 | |
| 2482 icase Ignore changes in case of text. "a" and "A" | |
| 2483 are considered the same. Adds the "-i" flag | |
| 2484 to the "diff" command if 'diffexpr' is empty. | |
| 2485 | |
| 2486 iwhite Ignore changes in amount of white space. Adds | |
| 2487 the "-b" flag to the "diff" command if | |
| 2488 'diffexpr' is empty. Check the documentation | |
| 2489 of the "diff" command for what this does | |
| 2490 exactly. It should ignore adding trailing | |
| 2491 white space, but not leading white space. | |
| 2492 | |
| 766 | 2493 horizontal Start diff mode with horizontal splits (unless |
| 2494 explicitly specified otherwise). | |
| 2495 | |
| 2496 vertical Start diff mode with vertical splits (unless | |
| 2497 explicitly specified otherwise). | |
| 2498 | |
| 2499 foldcolumn:{n} Set the 'foldcolumn' option to {n} when | |
| 2500 starting diff mode. Without this 2 is used. | |
| 2501 | |
| 7 | 2502 Examples: > |
| 2503 | |
| 2504 :set diffopt=filler,context:4 | |
| 2505 :set diffopt= | |
| 766 | 2506 :set diffopt=filler,foldcolumn:3 |

| 2510 global | |
| 2511 {not in Vi} | |
| 2512 {not available when compiled without the |+digraphs| | |

| 2514 Enable the entering of digraphs in Insert mode with {char1} <BS> | |
| 2515 {char2}. See |digraphs|. | |
| 2516 NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. | |
| 2517 | |
| 2518 *'directory'* *'dir'* | |
| 2519 'directory' 'dir' string (default for Amiga: ".,t:", | |
| 5555 | 2520 for MS-DOS and Win32: ".,$TEMP,c:\tmp,c:\temp" |
| 7 | 2521 for Unix: ".,~/tmp,/var/tmp,/tmp") |
| 2522 global | |
| 2523 List of directory names for the swap file, separated with commas. | |
| 2524 - The swap file will be created in the first directory where this is | |
| 2525 possible. | |
| 2526 - Empty means that no swap file will be used (recovery is | |
| 2527 impossible!). | |
| 2528 - A directory "." means to put the swap file in the same directory as | |
| 2529 the edited file. On Unix, a dot is prepended to the file name, so | |
| 2530 it doesn't show in a directory listing. On MS-Windows the "hidden" | |
| 2531 attribute is set and a dot prepended if possible. | |
| 33 | 2532 - A directory starting with "./" (or ".\" for MS-DOS et al.) means to |
| 7 | 2533 put the swap file relative to where the edited file is. The leading |
| 2534 "." is replaced with the path name of the edited file. | |
| 459 | 2535 - For Unix and Win32, if a directory ends in two path separators "//" |
| 2536 or "\\", the swap file name will be built from the complete path to | |
| 2537 the file with all path separators substituted to percent '%' signs. | |
| 2538 This will ensure file name uniqueness in the preserve directory. | |
| 1698 | 2539 On Win32, when a separating comma is following, you must use "//", |
| 2540 since "\\" will include the comma in the file name. | |
| 7 | 2541 - Spaces after the comma are ignored, other spaces are considered part |
| 2542 of the directory name. To have a space at the start of a directory | |
| 2543 name, precede it with a backslash. | |
| 2544 - To include a comma in a directory name precede it with a backslash. | |
| 2545 - A directory name may end in an ':' or '/'. | |
| 2546 - Environment variables are expanded |:set_env|. | |
| 2547 - Careful with '\' characters, type one before a space, type two to | |
| 2548 get one in the option (see |option-backslash|), for example: > | |
| 2549 :set dir=c:\\tmp,\ dir\\,with\\,commas,\\\ dir\ with\ spaces | |
| 2550 < - For backwards compatibility with Vim version 3.0 a '>' at the start | |
| 2551 of the option is removed. | |
| 2552 Using "." first in the list is recommended. This means that editing | |
| 2553 the same file twice will result in a warning. Using "/tmp" on Unix is | |
| 2554 discouraged: When the system crashes you lose the swap file. | |
| 2555 "/var/tmp" is often not cleared when rebooting, thus is a better | |
| 2556 choice than "/tmp". But it can contain a lot of files, your swap | |
| 2557 files get lost in the crowd. That is why a "tmp" directory in your | |
| 2558 home directory is tried first. | |
| 2559 The use of |:set+=| and |:set-=| is preferred when adding or removing | |
| 2560 directories from the list. This avoids problems when a future version | |
| 2561 uses another default. | |
| 2562 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for | |
| 2563 security reasons. | |
| 2564 {Vi: directory to put temp file in, defaults to "/tmp"} | |
| 2565 | |
| 2566 *'display'* *'dy'* | |
| 2567 'display' 'dy' string (default "") | |
| 2568 global | |
| 2569 {not in Vi} | |

| 2571 flags: | |
| 2572 lastline When included, as much as possible of the last line | |
| 10 | 2573 in a window will be displayed. When not included, a |
| 7 | 2574 last line that doesn't fit is replaced with "@" lines. |
| 2575 uhex Show unprintable characters hexadecimal as <xx> | |
| 2576 instead of using ^C and ~C. | |
| 2577 | |

| 2606 with. See |encoding-names| for the possible values. | |
| 2607 | |
| 2608 NOTE: Changing this option will not change the encoding of the | |

| 7 | 2616 NOTE: For GTK+ 2 it is highly recommended to set 'encoding' to |
| 2617 "utf-8". Although care has been taken to allow different values of | |
| 2618 'encoding', "utf-8" is the natural choice for the environment and | |
| 2619 avoids unnecessary conversion overhead. "utf-8" has not been made | |
| 10 | 2620 the default to prevent different behavior of the GUI and terminal |
| 7 | 2621 versions, and to avoid changing the encoding of newly created files |
| 2622 without your knowledge (in case 'fileencodings' is empty). | |
| 2623 | |
| 2624 The character encoding of files can be different from 'encoding'. | |
| 10 | 2625 This is specified with 'fileencoding'. The conversion is done with |
| 7 | 2626 iconv() or as specified with 'charconvert'. |

| 7 | 2632 Normally 'encoding' will be equal to your current locale. This will |
| 2633 be the default if Vim recognizes your environment settings. If | |
| 2634 'encoding' is not set to the current locale, 'termencoding' must be | |
| 2635 set to convert typed and displayed text. See |encoding-table|. | |
| 2636 | |
| 2637 When you set this option, it fires the |EncodingChanged| autocommand | |
| 2638 event so that you can set up fonts if necessary. | |
| 2639 | |
| 2640 When the option is set, the value is converted to lowercase. Thus | |
| 2641 you can set it with uppercase values too. Underscores are translated | |
| 2642 to '-' signs. | |
| 2643 When the encoding is recognized, it is changed to the standard name. | |
| 2644 For example "Latin-1" becomes "latin1", "ISO_88592" becomes | |
| 2645 "iso-8859-2" and "utf8" becomes "utf-8". | |
| 2646 | |
| 2647 Note: "latin1" is also used when the encoding could not be detected. | |
| 2648 This only works when editing files in the same encoding! When the | |
| 2649 actual character set is not latin1, make sure 'fileencoding' and | |
| 2650 'fileencodings' are empty. When conversion is needed, switch to using | |
| 2651 utf-8. | |
| 2652 | |
| 2653 When "unicode", "ucs-2" or "ucs-4" is used, Vim internally uses utf-8. | |
| 2654 You don't notice this while editing, but it does matter for the | |
| 2655 |viminfo-file|. And Vim expects the terminal to use utf-8 too. Thus | |
| 2656 setting 'encoding' to one of these values instead of utf-8 only has | |
| 2657 effect for encoding used for files when 'fileencoding' is empty. | |
| 448 | 2658 |
| 2659 When 'encoding' is set to a Unicode encoding, and 'fileencodings' was | |
| 2660 not set yet, the default for 'fileencodings' is changed. | |
| 7 | 2661 |

| 2665 {not in Vi} | |
| 2666 When writing a file and this option is off and the 'binary' option | |
| 10 | 2667 is on, no <EOL> will be written for the last line in the file. This |
| 7 | 2668 option is automatically set when starting to edit a new file, unless |
| 2669 the file does not have an <EOL> for the last line in the file, in | |
| 2670 which case it is reset. Normally you don't have to set or reset this | |
| 2671 option. When 'binary' is off the value is not used when writing the | |
| 2672 file. When 'binary' is on it is used to remember the presence of a | |
| 2673 <EOL> for the last line in the file, so that when you write the file | |
| 2674 the situation from the original file can be kept. But you can change | |
| 2675 it if you want to. | |
| 2676 | |
| 2677 *'equalalways'* *'ea'* *'noequalalways'* *'noea'* | |
| 2678 'equalalways' 'ea' boolean (default on) | |
| 2679 global | |
| 2680 {not in Vi} | |
| 2681 When on, all the windows are automatically made the same size after | |
| 33 | 2682 splitting or closing a window. This also happens the moment the |
| 2683 option is switched on. When off, splitting a window will reduce the | |
| 2684 size of the current window and leave the other windows the same. When | |
| 2685 closing a window the extra lines are given to the window next to it | |
| 2686 (depending on 'splitbelow' and 'splitright'). | |
| 7 | 2687 When mixing vertically and horizontally split windows, a minimal size |
| 2688 is computed and some windows may be larger if there is room. The | |
| 2689 'eadirection' option tells in which direction the size is affected. | |
| 1354 | 2690 Changing the height and width of a window can be avoided by setting |
| 2691 'winfixheight' and 'winfixwidth', respectively. | |

| 2748 mode. When this option is off, the cursor and function keys cannot be | |
| 2749 used in Insert mode if they start with an <Esc>. The advantage of | |
| 2750 this is that the single <Esc> is recognized immediately, instead of | |
| 2751 after one second. Instead of resetting this option, you might want to | |
| 2752 try changing the values for 'timeoutlen' and 'ttimeoutlen'. Note that | |
| 2753 when 'esckeys' is off, you can still map anything, but the cursor keys | |
| 2754 won't work by default. | |

| 2840 *'fe'* | |
| 2841 NOTE: Before version 6.0 this option specified the encoding for the | |
| 10 | 2842 whole of Vim, this was a mistake. Now use 'encoding' instead. The |
| 7 | 2843 old short name was 'fe', which is no longer used. |
| 2844 | |
| 2845 *'fileencodings'* *'fencs'* | |
| 39 | 2846 'fileencodings' 'fencs' string (default: "ucs-bom", |
| 2847 "ucs-bom,utf-8,default,latin1" when | |
| 2848 'encoding' is set to a Unicode value) | |
| 7 | 2849 global |
| 2850 {only available when compiled with the |+multi_byte| | |
| 2851 feature} | |
| 2852 {not in Vi} | |
| 2853 This is a list of character encodings considered when starting to edit | |
| 2854 an existing file. When a file is read, Vim tries to use the first | |
| 2855 mentioned character encoding. If an error is detected, the next one | |
| 2856 in the list is tried. When an encoding is found that works, | |
| 10 | 2857 'fileencoding' is set to it. If all fail, 'fileencoding' is set to |
| 7 | 2858 an empty string, which means the value of 'encoding' is used. |
| 2859 WARNING: Conversion can cause loss of information! When | |
| 2860 'encoding' is "utf-8" (or one of the other Unicode variants) | |
| 2861 conversion is most likely done in a way that the reverse | |
| 2862 conversion results in the same text. When 'encoding' is not | |
| 596 | 2863 "utf-8" some non-ASCII characters may be lost! You can use |
| 2864 the |++bad| argument to specify what is done with characters | |
| 2865 that can't be converted. | |
| 7 | 2866 For an empty file or a file with only ASCII characters most encodings |
| 2867 will work and the first entry of 'fileencodings' will be used (except | |
| 2868 "ucs-bom", which requires the BOM to be present). If you prefer | |
| 2869 another encoding use an BufReadPost autocommand event to test if your | |
| 2870 preferred encoding is to be used. Example: > | |
| 2871 au BufReadPost * if search('\S', 'w') == 0 | | |
| 2872 \ set fenc=iso-2022-jp | endif | |
| 2873 < This sets 'fileencoding' to "iso-2022-jp" if the file does not contain | |
| 2874 non-blank characters. | |
| 596 | 2875 When the |++enc| argument is used then the value of 'fileencodings' is |
| 2876 not used. | |
| 692 | 2877 Note that 'fileencodings' is not used for a new file, the global value |
| 2878 of 'fileencoding' is used instead. You can set it with: > | |
| 2879 :setglobal fenc=iso-8859-2 | |
| 2880 < This means that a non-existing file may get a different encoding than | |
| 2881 an empty file. | |
| 7 | 2882 The special value "ucs-bom" can be used to check for a Unicode BOM |
| 2883 (Byte Order Mark) at the start of the file. It must not be preceded | |
| 2884 by "utf-8" or another Unicode encoding for this to work properly. | |
| 2885 An entry for an 8-bit encoding (e.g., "latin1") should be the last, | |
| 2886 because Vim cannot detect an error, thus the encoding is always | |
| 2887 accepted. | |
| 39 | 2888 The special value "default" can be used for the encoding from the |
| 2889 environment. This is the default value for 'encoding'. It is useful | |
| 2890 when 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" and your environment uses a | |
| 2891 non-latin1 encoding, such as Russian. | |
| 777 | 2892 When 'encoding' is "utf-8" and a file contains an illegal byte |
| 2893 sequence it won't be recognized as UTF-8. You can use the |8g8| | |
| 2894 command to find the illegal byte sequence. | |
| 7 | 2895 WRONG VALUES: WHAT'S WRONG: |
| 2896 latin1,utf-8 "latin1" will always be used | |
| 2897 utf-8,ucs-bom,latin1 BOM won't be recognized in an utf-8 | |
| 2898 file | |
| 2899 cp1250,latin1 "cp1250" will always be used | |
| 2900 If 'fileencodings' is empty, 'fileencoding' is not modified. | |
| 2901 See 'fileencoding' for the possible values. | |
| 2902 Setting this option does not have an effect until the next time a file | |
| 2903 is read. | |
| 2904 | |
| 2905 *'fileformat'* *'ff'* | |
| 2906 'fileformat' 'ff' string (MS-DOS, MS-Windows, OS/2 default: "dos", | |
| 2907 Unix default: "unix", | |
| 2908 Macintosh default: "mac") | |
| 2909 local to buffer | |
| 2910 {not in Vi} | |
| 2911 This gives the <EOL> of the current buffer, which is used for | |
| 2912 reading/writing the buffer from/to a file: | |
| 2913 dos <CR> <NL> | |
| 2914 unix <NL> | |
| 2915 mac <CR> | |
| 2916 When "dos" is used, CTRL-Z at the end of a file is ignored. | |
| 2917 See |file-formats| and |file-read|. | |
| 2918 For the character encoding of the file see 'fileencoding'. | |
| 2919 When 'binary' is set, the value of 'fileformat' is ignored, file I/O | |
| 4264 | 2920 works like it was set to "unix". |
| 7 | 2921 This option is set automatically when starting to edit a file and |
| 2922 'fileformats' is not empty and 'binary' is off. | |
| 2923 When this option is set, after starting to edit a file, the 'modified' | |
| 2924 option is set, because the file would be different when written. | |
| 2925 This option can not be changed when 'modifiable' is off. | |
| 2926 For backwards compatibility: When this option is set to "dos", | |
| 2927 'textmode' is set, otherwise 'textmode' is reset. | |
| 2928 | |
| 2929 *'fileformats'* *'ffs'* | |
| 2930 'fileformats' 'ffs' string (default: | |
| 2931 Vim+Vi MS-DOS, MS-Windows OS/2: "dos,unix", | |
| 2932 Vim Unix: "unix,dos", | |
| 2933 Vim Mac: "mac,unix,dos", | |
| 2934 Vi Cygwin: "unix,dos", | |
| 2935 Vi others: "") | |
| 2936 global | |
| 2937 {not in Vi} | |
| 2938 This gives the end-of-line (<EOL>) formats that will be tried when | |
| 2939 starting to edit a new buffer and when reading a file into an existing | |
| 2940 buffer: | |
| 2941 - When empty, the format defined with 'fileformat' will be used | |
| 2942 always. It is not set automatically. | |
| 2943 - When set to one name, that format will be used whenever a new buffer | |
| 10 | 2944 is opened. 'fileformat' is set accordingly for that buffer. The |
| 7 | 2945 'fileformats' name will be used when a file is read into an existing |
| 2946 buffer, no matter what 'fileformat' for that buffer is set to. | |
| 2947 - When more than one name is present, separated by commas, automatic | |
| 2948 <EOL> detection will be done when reading a file. When starting to | |
| 2949 edit a file, a check is done for the <EOL>: | |
| 2950 1. If all lines end in <CR><NL>, and 'fileformats' includes "dos", | |
| 2951 'fileformat' is set to "dos". | |
| 2952 2. If a <NL> is found and 'fileformats' includes "unix", 'fileformat' | |
| 10 | 2953 is set to "unix". Note that when a <NL> is found without a |
| 7 | 2954 preceding <CR>, "unix" is preferred over "dos". |
| 2587 | 2955 3. If 'fileformat' has not yet been set, and if 'fileformats' |
| 2956 includes "mac", 'fileformat' is set to "mac". | |
| 2957 This means that "mac" is only chosen when: | |
| 2958 "unix" is not present or no <NL> is found in the file, and | |
| 2959 "dos" is not present or no <CR><NL> is found in the file. | |
| 2960 Except: if "unix" was chosen, but there is a <CR> before | |
| 2961 the first <NL>, and there appear to be more <CR>s than <NL>s in | |
| 2642 | 2962 the first few lines, "mac" is used. |
| 7 | 2963 4. If 'fileformat' is still not set, the first name from |
| 2964 'fileformats' is used. | |
| 2965 When reading a file into an existing buffer, the same is done, but | |
| 2966 this happens like 'fileformat' has been set appropriately for that | |
| 2967 file only, the option is not changed. | |
| 2968 When 'binary' is set, the value of 'fileformats' is not used. | |
| 2969 | |
| 2662 | 2970 Note that when Vim starts up with an empty buffer this option is not |
| 2681 | 2971 used. Set 'fileformat' in your .vimrc instead. |
| 2662 | 2972 |
| 7 | 2973 For systems with a Dos-like <EOL> (<CR><NL>), when reading files that |
| 2974 are ":source"ed and for vimrc files, automatic <EOL> detection may be | |
| 2975 done: | |
| 2976 - When 'fileformats' is empty, there is no automatic detection. Dos | |
| 2977 format will be used. | |
| 2978 - When 'fileformats' is set to one or more names, automatic detection | |
| 2979 is done. This is based on the first <NL> in the file: If there is a | |
| 2980 <CR> in front of it, Dos format is used, otherwise Unix format is | |
| 2981 used. | |
| 2982 Also see |file-formats|. | |
| 2983 For backwards compatibility: When this option is set to an empty | |
| 2984 string or one format (no comma is included), 'textauto' is reset, | |
| 2985 otherwise 'textauto' is set. | |
| 2986 NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is | |
| 2987 set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. | |
| 2988 | |
| 4264 | 2989 *'fileignorecase'* *'fic'* *'nofileignorecase'* *'nofic'* |

| 2991 names is normally ignored) | |
| 4242 | 2992 global |
| 2993 {not in Vi} | |
| 2994 When set case is ignored when using file names and directories. | |
| 2995 See 'wildignorecase' for only ignoring case when doing completion. | |

| 2999 local to buffer | |
| 3000 {not in Vi} | |
| 3001 {not available when compiled without the |+autocmd| | |
| 3002 feature} | |
| 3003 When this option is set, the FileType autocommand event is triggered. | |
| 3004 All autocommands that match with the value of this option will be | |
| 3005 executed. Thus the value of 'filetype' is used in place of the file | |
| 3006 name. | |
| 3007 Otherwise this option does not always reflect the current file type. | |
| 3008 This option is normally set when the file type is detected. To enable | |
| 3009 this use the ":filetype on" command. |:filetype| | |
| 3010 Setting this option to a different value is most useful in a modeline, | |
| 3011 for a file for which the file type is not automatically recognized. | |
| 782 | 3012 Example, for in an IDL file: |
| 3013 /* vim: set filetype=idl : */ ~ | |
| 3014 |FileType| |filetypes| | |
| 3015 When a dot appears in the value then this separates two filetype | |
| 3016 names. Example: | |
| 3017 /* vim: set filetype=c.doxygen : */ ~ | |
| 3018 This will use the "c" filetype first, then the "doxygen" filetype. | |
| 3019 This works both for filetype plugins and for syntax files. More than | |
| 3020 one dot may appear. | |
| 7 | 3021 This option is not copied to another buffer, independent of the 's' or |
| 3022 'S' flag in 'cpoptions'. | |
| 36 | 3023 Only normal file name characters can be used, "/\*?[|<>" are illegal. |
| 7 | 3024 |
| 3025 *'fillchars'* *'fcs'* | |
| 3026 'fillchars' 'fcs' string (default "vert:|,fold:-") | |
| 3027 global | |
| 3028 {not in Vi} | |
| 3029 {not available when compiled without the |+windows| | |
| 3030 and |+folding| features} | |
| 3031 Characters to fill the statuslines and vertical separators. | |
| 3032 It is a comma separated list of items: | |
| 3033 | |
| 3034 item default Used for ~ | |
| 3035 stl:c ' ' or '^' statusline of the current window | |
| 3036 stlnc:c ' ' or '-' statusline of the non-current windows | |
| 3037 vert:c '|' vertical separators |:vsplit| | |
| 3038 fold:c '-' filling 'foldtext' | |
| 3039 diff:c '-' deleted lines of the 'diff' option | |
| 3040 | |
| 10 | 3041 Any one that is omitted will fall back to the default. For "stl" and |
| 7 | 3042 "stlnc" the space will be used when there is highlighting, '^' or '-' |
| 3043 otherwise. | |
| 3044 | |
| 3045 Example: > | |
| 3046 :set fillchars=stl:^,stlnc:-,vert:\|,fold:-,diff:- | |
| 3047 < This is similar to the default, except that these characters will also | |
| 3048 be used when there is highlighting. | |
| 3049 | |
| 819 | 3050 for "stl" and "stlnc" only single-byte values are supported. |
| 3051 | |
| 7 | 3052 The highlighting used for these items: |
| 3053 item highlight group ~ | |
| 3054 stl:c StatusLine |hl-StatusLine| | |

| 3063 {not in Vi} | |
| 3064 {only available when compiled with the |+rightleft| | |
| 3065 feature} | |
| 3066 When on, the keyboard is mapped for the Farsi character set. | |
| 3067 Normally you would set 'allowrevins' and use CTRL-_ in insert mode to | |
| 10 | 3068 toggle this option |i_CTRL-_|. See |farsi.txt|. |
| 7 | 3069 |
| 3070 *'foldclose'* *'fcl'* | |
| 3071 'foldclose' 'fcl' string (default "") | |
| 3072 global | |
| 3073 {not in Vi} | |
| 3074 {not available when compiled without the |+folding| | |
| 3075 feature} | |
| 3076 When set to "all", a fold is closed when the cursor isn't in it and | |
| 3077 its level is higher than 'foldlevel'. Useful if you want folds to | |
| 3078 automatically close when moving out of them. | |
| 3079 | |
| 3080 *'foldcolumn'* *'fdc'* | |
| 3081 'foldcolumn' 'fdc' number (default 0) | |
| 3082 local to window | |
| 3083 {not in Vi} | |
| 3084 {not available when compiled without the |+folding| | |
| 3085 feature} | |
| 3086 When non-zero, a column with the specified width is shown at the side | |
| 3087 of the window which indicates open and closed folds. The maximum | |
| 3088 value is 12. | |
| 3089 See |folding|. | |
| 3090 | |
| 3091 *'foldenable'* *'fen'* *'nofoldenable'* *'nofen'* | |
| 3092 'foldenable' 'fen' boolean (default on) | |
| 3093 local to window | |
| 3094 {not in Vi} | |
| 3095 {not available when compiled without the |+folding| | |
| 3096 feature} | |
| 3097 When off, all folds are open. This option can be used to quickly | |
| 3098 switch between showing all text unfolded and viewing the text with | |
| 3099 folds (including manually opened or closed folds). It can be toggled | |
| 10 | 3100 with the |zi| command. The 'foldcolumn' will remain blank when |
| 7 | 3101 'foldenable' is off. |
| 3102 This option is set by commands that create a new fold or close a fold. | |
| 3103 See |folding|. | |
| 3104 | |
| 3105 *'foldexpr'* *'fde'* | |
| 3106 'foldexpr' 'fde' string (default: "0") | |

| 3119 It is not allowed to change text or jump to another window while | |
| 3120 evaluating 'foldexpr' |textlock|. | |
| 7 | 3121 |
| 3122 *'foldignore'* *'fdi'* | |
| 3123 'foldignore' 'fdi' string (default: "#") | |
| 3124 local to window | |
| 3125 {not in Vi} | |
| 3126 {not available when compiled without the |+folding| | |
| 3127 feature} | |
| 3128 Used only when 'foldmethod' is "indent". Lines starting with | |
| 3129 characters in 'foldignore' will get their fold level from surrounding | |
| 10 | 3130 lines. White space is skipped before checking for this character. |
| 7 | 3131 The default "#" works well for C programs. See |fold-indent|. |
| 3132 | |
| 3133 *'foldlevel'* *'fdl'* | |
| 3134 'foldlevel' 'fdl' number (default: 0) | |
| 3135 local to window | |
| 3136 {not in Vi} | |
| 3137 {not available when compiled without the |+folding| | |
| 3138 feature} | |
| 3139 Sets the fold level: Folds with a higher level will be closed. | |
| 3140 Setting this option to zero will close all folds. Higher numbers will | |
| 3141 close fewer folds. | |
| 3142 This option is set by commands like |zm|, |zM| and |zR|. | |
| 3143 See |fold-foldlevel|. | |
| 3144 | |
| 3145 *'foldlevelstart'* *'fdls'* | |
| 3146 'foldlevelstart' 'fdls' number (default: -1) | |
| 3147 global | |
| 3148 {not in Vi} | |
| 3149 {not available when compiled without the |+folding| | |
| 3150 feature} | |
| 3151 Sets 'foldlevel' when starting to edit another buffer in a window. | |
| 3152 Useful to always start editing with all folds closed (value zero), | |
| 3153 some folds closed (one) or no folds closed (99). | |
| 3154 This is done before reading any modeline, thus a setting in a modeline | |
| 10 | 3155 overrules this option. Starting to edit a file for |diff-mode| also |
| 7 | 3156 ignores this option and closes all folds. |
| 3157 It is also done before BufReadPre autocommands, to allow an autocmd to | |
| 3158 overrule the 'foldlevel' value for specific files. | |
| 3159 When the value is negative, it is not used. | |
| 3160 | |
| 3161 *'foldmarker'* *'fmr'* *E536* | |
| 3162 'foldmarker' 'fmr' string (default: "{{{,}}}") | |
| 3163 local to window | |
| 3164 {not in Vi} | |
| 3165 {not available when compiled without the |+folding| | |
| 3166 feature} | |
| 3167 The start and end marker used when 'foldmethod' is "marker". There | |
| 3168 must be one comma, which separates the start and end marker. The | |
| 3169 marker is a literal string (a regular expression would be too slow). | |
| 3170 See |fold-marker|. | |
| 3171 | |
| 3172 *'foldmethod'* *'fdm'* | |
| 3173 'foldmethod' 'fdm' string (default: "manual") | |
| 3174 local to window | |
| 3175 {not in Vi} | |
| 3176 {not available when compiled without the |+folding| | |
| 3177 feature} | |
| 3178 The kind of folding used for the current window. Possible values: | |
| 3179 |fold-manual| manual Folds are created manually. | |
| 3180 |fold-indent| indent Lines with equal indent form a fold. | |
| 3181 |fold-expr| expr 'foldexpr' gives the fold level of a line. | |
| 3182 |fold-marker| marker Markers are used to specify folds. | |
| 3183 |fold-syntax| syntax Syntax highlighting items specify folds. | |
| 3184 |fold-diff| diff Fold text that is not changed. | |
| 3185 | |
| 3186 *'foldminlines'* *'fml'* | |
| 3187 'foldminlines' 'fml' number (default: 1) | |
| 3188 local to window | |
| 3189 {not in Vi} | |
| 3190 {not available when compiled without the |+folding| | |
| 3191 feature} | |
| 2709 | 3192 Sets the number of screen lines above which a fold can be displayed |
| 3193 closed. Also for manually closed folds. With the default value of | |
| 3194 one a fold can only be closed if it takes up two or more screen lines. | |
| 3195 Set to zero to be able to close folds of just one screen line. | |
| 2826 | 3196 Note that this only has an effect on what is displayed. After using |
| 7 | 3197 "zc" to close a fold, which is displayed open because it's smaller |
| 3198 than 'foldminlines', a following "zc" may close a containing fold. | |
| 3199 | |
| 3200 *'foldnestmax'* *'fdn'* | |
| 3201 'foldnestmax' 'fdn' number (default: 20) | |
| 3202 local to window | |
| 3203 {not in Vi} | |
| 3204 {not available when compiled without the |+folding| | |
| 3205 feature} | |
| 3206 Sets the maximum nesting of folds for the "indent" and "syntax" | |
| 3207 methods. This avoids that too many folds will be created. Using more | |
| 3208 than 20 doesn't work, because the internal limit is 20. | |
| 3209 | |
| 3210 *'foldopen'* *'fdo'* | |
| 3211 'foldopen' 'fdo' string (default: "block,hor,mark,percent,quickfix, | |
| 3212 search,tag,undo") | |
| 3213 global | |
| 3214 {not in Vi} | |
| 3215 {not available when compiled without the |+folding| | |
| 3216 feature} | |
| 3217 Specifies for which type of commands folds will be opened, if the | |
| 3218 command moves the cursor into a closed fold. It is a comma separated | |
| 3219 list of items. | |
| 2625 | 3220 NOTE: When the command is part of a mapping this option is not used. |
| 3221 Add the |zv| command to the mapping to get the same effect. | |
| 3222 (rationale: the mapping may want to control opening folds itself) | |
| 3223 | |
| 7 | 3224 item commands ~ |
| 3225 all any | |
| 3226 block "(", "{", "[[", "[{", etc. | |
| 3227 hor horizontal movements: "l", "w", "fx", etc. | |
| 3228 insert any command in Insert mode | |
| 3229 jump far jumps: "G", "gg", etc. | |
| 3230 mark jumping to a mark: "'m", CTRL-O, etc. | |
| 3231 percent "%" | |
| 3232 quickfix ":cn", ":crew", ":make", etc. | |
| 3233 search search for a pattern: "/", "n", "*", "gd", etc. | |
| 3234 (not for a search pattern in a ":" command) | |
| 819 | 3235 Also for |[s| and |]s|. |
| 7 | 3236 tag jumping to a tag: ":ta", CTRL-T, etc. |
| 3237 undo undo or redo: "u" and CTRL-R | |
| 3238 When a movement command is used for an operator (e.g., "dl" or "y%") | |
| 3239 this option is not used. This means the operator will include the | |
| 3240 whole closed fold. | |
| 3241 Note that vertical movements are not here, because it would make it | |
| 3242 very difficult to move onto a closed fold. | |
| 3243 In insert mode the folds containing the cursor will always be open | |
| 3244 when text is inserted. | |
| 3245 To close folds you can re-apply 'foldlevel' with the |zx| command or | |
| 3246 set the 'foldclose' option to "all". | |
| 3247 | |
| 3248 *'foldtext'* *'fdt'* | |
| 3249 'foldtext' 'fdt' string (default: "foldtext()") | |
| 3250 local to window | |
| 3251 {not in Vi} | |
| 3252 {not available when compiled without the |+folding| | |
| 3253 feature} | |
| 3254 An expression which is used to specify the text displayed for a closed | |
| 3255 fold. See |fold-foldtext|. | |
| 3256 | |
| 3682 | 3257 The expression will be evaluated in the |sandbox| if set from a |
| 3258 modeline, see |sandbox-option|. | |
| 634 | 3259 |
| 3260 It is not allowed to change text or jump to another window while | |
| 3261 evaluating 'foldtext' |textlock|. | |
| 3262 | |
| 7 | 3263 *'formatoptions'* *'fo'* |
| 3264 'formatoptions' 'fo' string (Vim default: "tcq", Vi default: "vt") | |
| 3265 local to buffer | |
| 3266 {not in Vi} | |
| 3267 This is a sequence of letters which describes how automatic | |
| 3268 formatting is to be done. See |fo-table|. When the 'paste' option is | |
| 3269 on, no formatting is done (like 'formatoptions' is empty). Commas can | |
| 3270 be inserted for readability. | |
| 3271 To avoid problems with flags that are added in the future, use the | |
| 3272 "+=" and "-=" feature of ":set" |add-option-flags|. | |
| 3273 NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is | |
| 3274 set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. | |
| 3275 | |
| 41 | 3276 *'formatlistpat'* *'flp'* |
| 3277 'formatlistpat' 'flp' string (default: "^\s*\d\+[\]:.)}\t ]\s*") | |
| 3278 local to buffer | |
| 3279 {not in Vi} | |
| 3280 A pattern that is used to recognize a list header. This is used for | |
| 3281 the "n" flag in 'formatoptions'. | |
| 3282 The pattern must match exactly the text that will be the indent for | |
| 140 | 3283 the line below it. You can use |/\ze| to mark the end of the match |
| 41 | 3284 while still checking more characters. There must be a character |
| 3285 following the pattern, when it matches the whole line it is handled | |
| 3286 like there is no match. | |
| 3287 The default recognizes a number, followed by an optional punctuation | |
| 3288 character and white space. | |
| 3289 | |
| 7 | 3290 *'formatprg'* *'fp'* |
| 3291 'formatprg' 'fp' string (default "") | |
| 3292 global | |
| 3293 {not in Vi} | |
| 3294 The name of an external program that will be used to format the lines | |
| 667 | 3295 selected with the |gq| operator. The program must take the input on |
| 7 | 3296 stdin and produce the output on stdout. The Unix program "fmt" is |
| 557 | 3297 such a program. |
| 667 | 3298 If the 'formatexpr' option is not empty it will be used instead. |
| 3299 Otherwise, if 'formatprg' option is an empty string, the internal | |
| 3300 format function will be used |C-indenting|. | |
| 557 | 3301 Environment variables are expanded |:set_env|. See |option-backslash| |
| 3302 about including spaces and backslashes. | |
| 3682 | 3303 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for |
| 3304 security reasons. | |
| 667 | 3305 |
| 3306 *'formatexpr'* *'fex'* | |
| 3307 'formatexpr' 'fex' string (default "") | |
| 3308 local to buffer | |
| 3309 {not in Vi} | |
| 3310 {not available when compiled without the |+eval| | |

| 36 | 3342 'fsync' 'fs' boolean (default on) |
| 3343 global | |
| 3344 {not in Vi} | |
| 3345 When on, the library function fsync() will be called after writing a | |
| 3346 file. This will flush a file to disk, ensuring that it is safely | |
| 3347 written even on filesystems which do metadata-only journaling. This | |
| 3348 will force the harddrive to spin up on Linux systems running in laptop | |
| 3349 mode, so it may be undesirable in some situations. Be warned that | |
| 3350 turning this off increases the chances of data loss after a crash. On | |
| 3351 systems without an fsync() implementation, this variable is always | |
| 3352 off. | |
| 3353 Also see 'swapsync' for controlling fsync() on swap files. | |

| 3374 {not in Vi} | |
| 3375 Format to recognize for the ":grep" command output. | |
| 3376 This is a scanf-like string that uses the same format as the | |
| 3377 'errorformat' option: see |errorformat|. | |
| 3378 | |
| 3379 *'grepprg'* *'gp'* | |
| 3380 'grepprg' 'gp' string (default "grep -n ", | |
| 3381 Unix: "grep -n $* /dev/null", | |
| 3382 Win32: "findstr /n" or "grep -n", | |
| 3383 VMS: "SEARCH/NUMBERS ") | |
| 3384 global or local to buffer |global-local| | |
| 3385 {not in Vi} | |
| 233 | 3386 Program to use for the |:grep| command. This option may contain '%' |
| 7 | 3387 and '#' characters, which are expanded like when used in a command- |
| 3388 line. The placeholder "$*" is allowed to specify where the arguments | |
| 3389 will be included. Environment variables are expanded |:set_env|. See | |
| 3390 |option-backslash| about including spaces and backslashes. | |
| 3391 When your "grep" accepts the "-H" argument, use this to make ":grep" | |
| 3392 also work well with a single file: > | |
| 3393 :set grepprg=grep\ -nH | |
| 161 | 3394 < Special value: When 'grepprg' is set to "internal" the |:grep| command |
| 657 | 3395 works like |:vimgrep|, |:lgrep| like |:lvimgrep|, |:grepadd| like |
| 3396 |:vimgrepadd| and |:lgrepadd| like |:lvimgrepadd|. | |
| 41 | 3397 See also the section |:make_makeprg|, since most of the comments there |
| 7 | 3398 apply equally to 'grepprg'. |
| 3399 For Win32, the default is "findstr /n" if "findstr.exe" can be found, | |
| 3400 otherwise it's "grep -n". | |
| 3401 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for | |
| 3402 security reasons. | |
| 3403 | |
| 3404 *'guicursor'* *'gcr'* *E545* *E546* *E548* *E549* | |
| 3405 'guicursor' 'gcr' string (default "n-v-c:block-Cursor/lCursor, | |
| 3406 ve:ver35-Cursor, | |
| 3407 o:hor50-Cursor, | |
| 3408 i-ci:ver25-Cursor/lCursor, | |
| 3409 r-cr:hor20-Cursor/lCursor, | |
| 3410 sm:block-Cursor | |
| 3411 -blinkwait175-blinkoff150-blinkon175", | |
| 3412 for MS-DOS and Win32 console: | |
| 3413 "n-v-c:block,o:hor50,i-ci:hor15, | |
| 3414 r-cr:hor30,sm:block") | |
| 3415 global | |
| 3416 {not in Vi} | |
| 3417 {only available when compiled with GUI enabled, and | |
| 3418 for MS-DOS and Win32 console} | |
| 3419 This option tells Vim what the cursor should look like in different | |
| 10 | 3420 modes. It fully works in the GUI. In an MSDOS or Win32 console, only |
| 7 | 3421 the height of the cursor can be changed. This can be done by |
| 3422 specifying a block cursor, or a percentage for a vertical or | |
| 3423 horizontal cursor. | |
| 36 | 3424 For a console the 't_SI' and 't_EI' escape sequences are used. |
| 7 | 3425 |
| 10 | 3426 The option is a comma separated list of parts. Each part consist of a |
| 7 | 3427 mode-list and an argument-list: |
| 3428 mode-list:argument-list,mode-list:argument-list,.. | |
| 3429 The mode-list is a dash separated list of these modes: | |
| 3430 n Normal mode | |
| 3431 v Visual mode | |
| 3432 ve Visual mode with 'selection' "exclusive" (same as 'v', | |
| 3433 if not specified) | |
| 3434 o Operator-pending mode | |
| 3435 i Insert mode | |
| 3436 r Replace mode | |
| 3437 c Command-line Normal (append) mode | |
| 3438 ci Command-line Insert mode | |
| 3439 cr Command-line Replace mode | |
| 3440 sm showmatch in Insert mode | |
| 3441 a all modes | |
| 3442 The argument-list is a dash separated list of these arguments: | |
| 3443 hor{N} horizontal bar, {N} percent of the character height | |
| 3444 ver{N} vertical bar, {N} percent of the character width | |
| 3445 block block cursor, fills the whole character | |
| 3446 [only one of the above three should be present] | |
| 3447 blinkwait{N} *cursor-blinking* | |
| 3448 blinkon{N} | |
| 3449 blinkoff{N} | |
| 3450 blink times for cursor: blinkwait is the delay before | |
| 3451 the cursor starts blinking, blinkon is the time that | |
| 3452 the cursor is shown and blinkoff is the time that the | |
| 3453 cursor is not shown. The times are in msec. When one | |
| 3454 of the numbers is zero, there is no blinking. The | |
| 3455 default is: "blinkwait700-blinkon400-blinkoff250". | |
| 3456 These numbers are used for a missing entry. This | |
| 3457 means that blinking is enabled by default. To switch | |
| 3458 blinking off you can use "blinkon0". The cursor only | |
| 3459 blinks when Vim is waiting for input, not while | |
| 3460 executing a command. | |
| 3461 To make the cursor blink in an xterm, see | |
| 3462 |xterm-blink|. | |
| 3463 {group-name} | |
| 3464 a highlight group name, that sets the color and font | |
| 3465 for the cursor | |
| 3466 {group-name}/{group-name} | |
| 3467 Two highlight group names, the first is used when | |
| 3468 no language mappings are used, the other when they | |
| 3469 are. |language-mapping| | |
| 3470 | |
| 3471 Examples of parts: | |
| 3472 n-c-v:block-nCursor in Normal, Command-line and Visual mode, use a | |
| 3473 block cursor with colors from the "nCursor" | |
| 3474 highlight group | |
| 3475 i-ci:ver30-iCursor-blinkwait300-blinkon200-blinkoff150 | |
| 3476 In Insert and Command-line Insert mode, use a | |
| 3477 30% vertical bar cursor with colors from the | |
| 3478 "iCursor" highlight group. Blink a bit | |
| 3479 faster. | |
| 3480 | |
| 3481 The 'a' mode is different. It will set the given argument-list for | |
| 3482 all modes. It does not reset anything to defaults. This can be used | |
| 3483 to do a common setting for all modes. For example, to switch off | |
| 3484 blinking: "a:blinkon0" | |
| 3485 | |
| 3486 Examples of cursor highlighting: > | |
| 3487 :highlight Cursor gui=reverse guifg=NONE guibg=NONE | |
| 3488 :highlight Cursor gui=NONE guifg=bg guibg=fg | |
| 3489 < | |
| 3490 *'guifont'* *'gfn'* | |
| 2908 | 3491 *E235* *E596* |
| 7 | 3492 'guifont' 'gfn' string (default "") |
| 3493 global | |
| 3494 {not in Vi} | |
| 3495 {only available when compiled with GUI enabled} | |
| 3496 This is a list of fonts which will be used for the GUI version of Vim. | |
| 3497 In its simplest form the value is just one font name. When | |
| 3498 the font cannot be found you will get an error message. To try other | |
| 3499 font names a list can be specified, font names separated with commas. | |
| 3500 The first valid font is used. | |
| 8 | 3501 |
| 170 | 3502 On systems where 'guifontset' is supported (X11) and 'guifontset' is |
| 3503 not empty, then 'guifont' is not used. | |
| 8 | 3504 |
| 7 | 3505 Spaces after a comma are ignored. To include a comma in a font name |
| 3506 precede it with a backslash. Setting an option requires an extra | |
| 3507 backslash before a space and a backslash. See also | |
| 3508 |option-backslash|. For example: > | |
| 3509 :set guifont=Screen15,\ 7x13,font\\,with\\,commas | |
| 8 | 3510 < will make Vim try to use the font "Screen15" first, and if it fails it |
| 7 | 3511 will try to use "7x13" and then "font,with,commas" instead. |
| 8 | 3512 |
| 3513 If none of the fonts can be loaded, Vim will keep the current setting. | |
| 3514 If an empty font list is given, Vim will try using other resource | |
| 3515 settings (for X, it will use the Vim.font resource), and finally it | |
| 3516 will try some builtin default which should always be there ("7x13" in | |
| 3517 the case of X). The font names given should be "normal" fonts. Vim | |
| 3518 will try to find the related bold and italic fonts. | |

| 170 | 3536 For Mac OSX you can use something like this: > |

| 853 | 3538 < Also see 'macatsui', it can help fix display problems. |
| 3539 *E236* | |
| 7 | 3540 Note that the fonts must be mono-spaced (all characters have the same |
| 8 | 3541 width). An exception is GTK 2: all fonts are accepted, but |
| 3542 mono-spaced fonts look best. | |
| 3543 | |
| 7 | 3544 To preview a font on X11, you might be able to use the "xfontsel" |
| 3545 program. The "xlsfonts" program gives a list of all available fonts. | |
| 8 | 3546 |
| 7 | 3547 For the Win32 GUI *E244* *E245* |
| 3548 - takes these options in the font name: | |
| 3549 hXX - height is XX (points, can be floating-point) | |
| 3550 wXX - width is XX (points, can be floating-point) | |
| 3551 b - bold | |
| 3552 i - italic | |
| 3553 u - underline | |
| 3554 s - strikeout | |
| 233 | 3555 cXX - character set XX. Valid charsets are: ANSI, ARABIC, |
| 7 | 3556 BALTIC, CHINESEBIG5, DEFAULT, EASTEUROPE, GB2312, GREEK, |
| 3557 HANGEUL, HEBREW, JOHAB, MAC, OEM, RUSSIAN, SHIFTJIS, | |
| 3558 SYMBOL, THAI, TURKISH, VIETNAMESE ANSI and BALTIC. | |
| 22 | 3559 Normally you would use "cDEFAULT". |
| 7 | 3560 |
| 3561 Use a ':' to separate the options. | |
| 3562 - A '_' can be used in the place of a space, so you don't need to use | |
| 3563 backslashes to escape the spaces. | |
| 3564 - Examples: > | |
| 3565 :set guifont=courier_new:h12:w5:b:cRUSSIAN | |
| 3566 :set guifont=Andale_Mono:h7.5:w4.5 | |
| 3567 < See also |font-sizes|. | |
| 3568 | |
| 3569 *'guifontset'* *'gfs'* | |
| 3570 *E250* *E252* *E234* *E597* *E598* | |
| 3571 'guifontset' 'gfs' string (default "") | |
| 3572 global | |
| 3573 {not in Vi} | |
| 3574 {only available when compiled with GUI enabled and | |
| 3575 with the |+xfontset| feature} | |
| 3576 {not available in the GTK+ 2 GUI} | |
| 3577 When not empty, specifies two (or more) fonts to be used. The first | |
| 3578 one for normal English, the second one for your special language. See | |
| 3579 |xfontset|. | |
| 3580 Setting this option also means that all font names will be handled as | |
| 3581 a fontset name. Also the ones used for the "font" argument of the | |
| 3582 |:highlight| command. | |
| 3583 The fonts must match with the current locale. If fonts for the | |
| 3584 character sets that the current locale uses are not included, setting | |
| 3585 'guifontset' will fail. | |
| 3586 Note the difference between 'guifont' and 'guifontset': In 'guifont' | |
| 3587 the comma-separated names are alternative names, one of which will be | |
| 3588 used. In 'guifontset' the whole string is one fontset name, | |
| 3589 including the commas. It is not possible to specify alternative | |
| 3590 fontset names. | |
| 3591 This example works on many X11 systems: > | |
| 3592 :set guifontset=-*-*-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-c-*-*-* | |
| 3593 < | |
| 3594 *'guifontwide'* *'gfw'* *E231* *E533* *E534* | |
| 3595 'guifontwide' 'gfw' string (default "") | |
| 3596 global | |
| 3597 {not in Vi} | |
| 3598 {only available when compiled with GUI enabled} | |
| 3599 When not empty, specifies a comma-separated list of fonts to be used | |
| 3600 for double-width characters. The first font that can be loaded is | |
| 3601 used. | |
| 3602 Note: The size of these fonts must be exactly twice as wide as the one | |
| 3603 specified with 'guifont' and the same height. | |
| 3604 | |
| 3605 All GUI versions but GTK+ 2: | |
| 3606 | |
| 3607 'guifontwide' is only used when 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" and | |
| 3608 'guifontset' is empty or invalid. | |
| 3609 When 'guifont' is set and a valid font is found in it and | |
| 3610 'guifontwide' is empty Vim will attempt to find a matching | |
| 3611 double-width font and set 'guifontwide' to it. | |
| 3612 | |
| 3613 GTK+ 2 GUI only: *guifontwide_gtk2* | |
| 3614 | |
| 3615 If set and valid, 'guifontwide' is always used for double width | |
| 3616 characters, even if 'encoding' is not set to "utf-8". | |
| 3617 Vim does not attempt to find an appropriate value for 'guifontwide' | |
| 10 | 3618 automatically. If 'guifontwide' is empty Pango/Xft will choose the |
| 7 | 3619 font for characters not available in 'guifont'. Thus you do not need |
| 3620 to set 'guifontwide' at all unless you want to override the choice | |
| 3621 made by Pango/Xft. | |
| 3622 | |
| 4055 | 3623 Windows +multibyte only: *guifontwide_win_mbyte* |
| 3624 | |
| 4073 | 3625 If set and valid, 'guifontwide' is used for IME instead of 'guifont'. |
| 4055 | 3626 |
| 7 | 3627 *'guiheadroom'* *'ghr'* |
| 3628 'guiheadroom' 'ghr' number (default 50) | |
| 3629 global | |
| 3630 {not in Vi} {only for GTK and X11 GUI} | |
| 3631 The number of pixels subtracted from the screen height when fitting | |
| 3632 the GUI window on the screen. Set this before the GUI is started, | |
| 3633 e.g., in your |gvimrc| file. When zero, the whole screen height will | |
| 10 | 3634 be used by the window. When positive, the specified number of pixel |
| 7 | 3635 lines will be left for window decorations and other items on the |
| 3636 screen. Set it to a negative value to allow windows taller than the | |
| 3637 screen. | |
| 3638 | |
| 3639 *'guioptions'* *'go'* | |
| 3224 | 3640 'guioptions' 'go' string (default "egmrLtT" (MS-Windows), |
| 3641 "aegimrLtT" (GTK, Motif and Athena)) | |
| 7 | 3642 global |
| 3643 {not in Vi} | |
| 3644 {only available when compiled with GUI enabled} | |
| 8 | 3645 This option only has an effect in the GUI version of Vim. It is a |
| 7 | 3646 sequence of letters which describes what components and options of the |
| 3647 GUI should be used. | |
| 3648 To avoid problems with flags that are added in the future, use the | |
| 3649 "+=" and "-=" feature of ":set" |add-option-flags|. | |
| 3650 | |
| 3651 Valid letters are as follows: | |
| 1152 | 3652 *guioptions_a* *'go-a'* |
| 7 | 3653 'a' Autoselect: If present, then whenever VISUAL mode is started, |
| 3654 or the Visual area extended, Vim tries to become the owner of | |
| 3655 the windowing system's global selection. This means that the | |
| 3656 Visually highlighted text is available for pasting into other | |
| 3657 applications as well as into Vim itself. When the Visual mode | |
| 3658 ends, possibly due to an operation on the text, or when an | |
| 3659 application wants to paste the selection, the highlighted text | |
| 3660 is automatically yanked into the "* selection register. | |
| 3661 Thus the selection is still available for pasting into other | |
| 3662 applications after the VISUAL mode has ended. | |
| 3663 If not present, then Vim won't become the owner of the | |
| 3664 windowing system's global selection unless explicitly told to | |
| 3665 by a yank or delete operation for the "* register. | |
| 3666 The same applies to the modeless selection. | |
| 3674 | 3667 *'go-P'* |
| 3668 'P' Like autoselect but using the "+ register instead of the "* | |
| 3669 register. | |
| 1152 | 3670 *'go-A'* |
| 10 | 3671 'A' Autoselect for the modeless selection. Like 'a', but only |
| 7 | 3672 applies to the modeless selection. |
| 3673 | |
| 3674 'guioptions' autoselect Visual autoselect modeless ~ | |
| 3675 "" - - | |
| 3676 "a" yes yes | |
| 3677 "A" - yes | |
| 3678 "aA" yes yes | |
| 3679 | |
| 1152 | 3680 *'go-c'* |
| 7 | 3681 'c' Use console dialogs instead of popup dialogs for simple |
| 3682 choices. | |
| 1152 | 3683 *'go-e'* |
| 697 | 3684 'e' Add tab pages when indicated with 'showtabline'. |
| 688 | 3685 'guitablabel' can be used to change the text in the labels. |
| 3686 When 'e' is missing a non-GUI tab pages line may be used. | |
| 857 | 3687 The GUI tabs are only supported on some systems, currently |
| 1621 | 3688 GTK, Motif, Mac OS/X and MS-Windows. |
| 1152 | 3689 *'go-f'* |
| 7 | 3690 'f' Foreground: Don't use fork() to detach the GUI from the shell |
| 3691 where it was started. Use this for programs that wait for the | |
| 3692 editor to finish (e.g., an e-mail program). Alternatively you | |
| 3693 can use "gvim -f" or ":gui -f" to start the GUI in the | |
| 3694 foreground. |gui-fork| | |
| 3695 Note: Set this option in the vimrc file. The forking may have | |
| 819 | 3696 happened already when the |gvimrc| file is read. |
| 1152 | 3697 *'go-i'* |
| 7 | 3698 'i' Use a Vim icon. For GTK with KDE it is used in the left-upper |
| 3699 corner of the window. It's black&white on non-GTK, because of | |
| 3700 limitations of X11. For a color icon, see |X11-icon|. | |

| 3944 The type of highlighting used can be set with the 'l' occasion in the | |
| 3945 'highlight' option. This uses the "Search" highlight group by | |
| 3946 default. Note that only the matching text is highlighted, any offsets | |
| 3947 are not applied. | |
| 3948 See also: 'incsearch' and |:match|. | |
| 3949 When you get bored looking at the highlighted matches, you can turn it | |
| 3224 | 3950 off with |:nohlsearch|. This does not change the option value, as |
| 3951 soon as you use a search command, the highlighting comes back. | |
| 1621 | 3952 'redrawtime' specifies the maximum time spent on finding matches. |
| 7 | 3953 When the search pattern can match an end-of-line, Vim will try to |
| 3954 highlight all of the matched text. However, this depends on where the | |
| 10 | 3955 search starts. This will be the first line in the window or the first |
| 7 | 3956 line below a closed fold. A match in a previous line which is not |
| 819 | 3957 drawn may not continue in a newly drawn line. |
| 3224 | 3958 You can specify whether the highlight status is restored on startup |

| 4002 'iconstring' (if it is not empty), or to the name of the file | |

| 4004 Overridden by the 'iconstring' option. | |
| 4005 Only works if the terminal supports setting window icons (currently | |
| 4006 only X11 GUI and terminals with a non-empty 't_IS' option - these are | |
| 4007 Unix xterm and iris-ansi by default, where 't_IS' is taken from the | |
| 4008 builtin termcap). | |
| 4009 When Vim was compiled with HAVE_X11 defined, the original icon will be | |

| 4021 Only works if the terminal supports setting window icon text | |
| 4022 (currently only X11 GUI and terminals with a non-empty 't_IS' option). | |
| 4023 Does not work for MS Windows. | |
| 4024 When Vim was compiled with HAVE_X11 defined, the original icon will be | |

| 4026 When this option contains printf-style '%' items, they will be | |

| 4186 then the text matched from "\zs" to the end, or until "\ze" if it | |

| 4221 is invalid or not found, nothing is shown. The screen will be updated | |
| 4222 often, this is only useful on fast terminals. | |
| 4223 Note that the match will be shown, but the cursor will return to its | |
| 4224 original position when no match is found and when pressing <Esc>. You | |

| 4245 {not available when compiled without the |+cindent| | |
| 4246 or |+eval| features} | |
| 4247 Expression which is evaluated to obtain the proper indent for a line. | |
| 4248 It is used when a new line is created, for the |=| operator and | |
| 4249 in Insert mode as specified with the 'indentkeys' option. | |
| 4250 When this option is not empty, it overrules the 'cindent' and | |
| 2833 | 4251 'smartindent' indenting. When 'lisp' is set, this option is |
| 4252 overridden by the Lisp indentation algorithm. | |
| 7 | 4253 When 'paste' is set this option is not used for indenting. |
| 4254 The expression is evaluated with |v:lnum| set to the line number for | |
| 534 | 4255 which the indent is to be computed. The cursor is also in this line |
| 7 | 4256 when the expression is evaluated (but it may be moved around). |
| 4257 The expression must return the number of spaces worth of indent. It | |
| 4258 can return "-1" to keep the current indent (this means 'autoindent' is | |
| 4259 used for the indent). | |
| 4260 Functions useful for computing the indent are |indent()|, |cindent()| | |
| 4261 and |lispindent()|. | |
| 4262 The evaluation of the expression must not have side effects! It must | |
| 4263 not change the text, jump to another window, etc. Afterwards the | |
| 4264 cursor position is always restored, thus the cursor may be moved. | |
| 4265 Normally this option would be set to call a function: > | |
| 4266 :set indentexpr=GetMyIndent() | |
| 4267 < Error messages will be suppressed, unless the 'debug' option contains | |
| 4268 "msg". | |

| 4285 A list of keys that, when typed in Insert mode, cause reindenting of | |
| 4286 the current line. Only happens if 'indentexpr' isn't empty. | |
| 4287 The format is identical to 'cinkeys', see |indentkeys-format|. | |
| 4288 See |C-indenting| and |indent-expression|. | |
| 4289 | |
| 4290 *'infercase'* *'inf'* *'noinfercase'* *'noinf'* | |
| 4291 'infercase' 'inf' boolean (default off) | |
| 4292 local to buffer | |
| 4293 {not in Vi} | |
| 4294 When doing keyword completion in insert mode |ins-completion|, and | |
| 1621 | 4295 'ignorecase' is also on, the case of the match is adjusted depending |
| 4296 on the typed text. If the typed text contains a lowercase letter | |
| 4297 where the match has an upper case letter, the completed part is made | |
| 4298 lowercase. If the typed text has no lowercase letters and the match | |
| 4299 has a lowercase letter where the typed text has an uppercase letter, | |
| 4300 and there is a letter before it, the completed part is made uppercase. | |
| 4301 With 'noinfercase' the match is used as-is. | |
| 7 | 4302 |
| 4303 *'insertmode'* *'im'* *'noinsertmode'* *'noim'* | |
| 4304 'insertmode' 'im' boolean (default off) | |
| 4305 global | |
| 4306 {not in Vi} | |
| 4307 Makes Vim work in a way that Insert mode is the default mode. Useful | |
| 4308 if you want to use Vim as a modeless editor. Used for |evim|. | |
| 4309 These Insert mode commands will be useful: | |
| 4310 - Use the cursor keys to move around. | |
| 4311 - Use CTRL-O to execute one Normal mode command |i_CTRL-O|). When | |
| 4312 this is a mapping, it is executed as if 'insertmode' was off. | |
| 4313 Normal mode remains active until the mapping is finished. | |
| 4314 - Use CTRL-L to execute a number of Normal mode commands, then use | |
| 477 | 4315 <Esc> to get back to Insert mode. Note that CTRL-L moves the cursor |
| 4316 left, like <Esc> does when 'insertmode' isn't set. |i_CTRL-L| | |
| 7 | 4317 |
| 4318 These items change when 'insertmode' is set: | |
| 4319 - when starting to edit of a file, Vim goes to Insert mode. | |
| 4320 - <Esc> in Insert mode is a no-op and beeps. | |
| 4321 - <Esc> in Normal mode makes Vim go to Insert mode. | |
| 4322 - CTRL-L in Insert mode is a command, it is not inserted. | |
| 4323 - CTRL-Z in Insert mode suspends Vim, see |CTRL-Z|. *i_CTRL-Z* | |
| 4324 However, when <Esc> is used inside a mapping, it behaves like | |
| 4325 'insertmode' was not set. This was done to be able to use the same | |
| 4326 mappings with 'insertmode' set or not set. | |
| 4327 When executing commands with |:normal| 'insertmode' is not used. | |
| 4328 | |
| 4329 NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. | |
| 4330 | |
| 4331 *'isfname'* *'isf'* | |
| 4332 'isfname' 'isf' string (default for MS-DOS, Win32 and OS/2: | |
| 4333 "@,48-57,/,\,.,-,_,+,,,#,$,%,{,},[,],:,@-@,!,~,=" | |
| 4334 for AMIGA: "@,48-57,/,.,-,_,+,,,$,:" | |
| 4335 for VMS: "@,48-57,/,.,-,_,+,,,#,$,%,<,>,[,],:,;,~" | |
| 4336 for OS/390: "@,240-249,/,.,-,_,+,,,#,$,%,~,=" | |
| 4337 otherwise: "@,48-57,/,.,-,_,+,,,#,$,%,~,=") | |
| 4338 global | |
| 4339 {not in Vi} | |
| 4340 The characters specified by this option are included in file names and | |
| 4341 path names. Filenames are used for commands like "gf", "[i" and in | |
| 10 | 4342 the tags file. It is also used for "\f" in a |pattern|. |
| 7 | 4343 Multi-byte characters 256 and above are always included, only the |
| 4344 characters up to 255 are specified with this option. | |
| 4345 For UTF-8 the characters 0xa0 to 0xff are included as well. | |
| 1621 | 4346 Think twice before adding white space to this option. Although a |
| 4347 space may appear inside a file name, the effect will be that Vim | |
| 4348 doesn't know where a file name starts or ends when doing completion. | |
| 4349 It most likely works better without a space in 'isfname'. | |
| 7 | 4350 |
| 4351 Note that on systems using a backslash as path separator, Vim tries to | |
| 4352 do its best to make it work as you would expect. That is a bit | |
| 4353 tricky, since Vi originally used the backslash to escape special | |
| 4354 characters. Vim will not remove a backslash in front of a normal file | |
| 4355 name character on these systems, but it will on Unix and alikes. The | |
| 4356 '&' and '^' are not included by default, because these are special for | |
| 4357 cmd.exe. | |
| 4358 | |
| 4359 The format of this option is a list of parts, separated with commas. | |
| 10 | 4360 Each part can be a single character number or a range. A range is two |
| 4361 character numbers with '-' in between. A character number can be a | |
| 7 | 4362 decimal number between 0 and 255 or the ASCII character itself (does |
| 4363 not work for digits). Example: | |
| 4364 "_,-,128-140,#-43" (include '_' and '-' and the range | |
| 4365 128 to 140 and '#' to 43) | |
| 4366 If a part starts with '^', the following character number or range | |
| 4367 will be excluded from the option. The option is interpreted from left | |
| 4368 to right. Put the excluded character after the range where it is | |
| 4369 included. To include '^' itself use it as the last character of the | |
| 4370 option or the end of a range. Example: | |
| 4371 "^a-z,#,^" (exclude 'a' to 'z', include '#' and '^') | |
| 4372 If the character is '@', all characters where isalpha() returns TRUE | |
| 4373 are included. Normally these are the characters a to z and A to Z, | |
| 4374 plus accented characters. To include '@' itself use "@-@". Examples: | |
| 4375 "@,^a-z" All alphabetic characters, excluding lower | |
| 1621 | 4376 case ASCII letters. |
| 7 | 4377 "a-z,A-Z,@-@" All letters plus the '@' character. |
| 4378 A comma can be included by using it where a character number is | |
| 4379 expected. Example: | |
| 4380 "48-57,,,_" Digits, comma and underscore. | |
| 4381 A comma can be excluded by prepending a '^'. Example: | |
| 4382 " -~,^,,9" All characters from space to '~', excluding | |
| 4383 comma, plus <Tab>. | |
| 4384 See |option-backslash| about including spaces and backslashes. | |
| 4385 | |
| 4386 *'isident'* *'isi'* | |
| 4387 'isident' 'isi' string (default for MS-DOS, Win32 and OS/2: | |
| 4388 "@,48-57,_,128-167,224-235" | |
| 4389 otherwise: "@,48-57,_,192-255") | |
| 4390 global | |
| 4391 {not in Vi} | |
| 4392 The characters given by this option are included in identifiers. | |
| 4393 Identifiers are used in recognizing environment variables and after a | |
| 4394 match of the 'define' option. It is also used for "\i" in a | |
| 233 | 4395 |pattern|. See 'isfname' for a description of the format of this |
| 7 | 4396 option. |
| 4397 Careful: If you change this option, it might break expanding | |
| 10 | 4398 environment variables. E.g., when '/' is included and Vim tries to |
| 7 | 4399 expand "$HOME/.viminfo". Maybe you should change 'iskeyword' instead. |
| 4400 | |
| 4401 *'iskeyword'* *'isk'* | |
| 4402 'iskeyword' 'isk' string (Vim default for MS-DOS and Win32: | |
| 4403 "@,48-57,_,128-167,224-235" | |
| 4404 otherwise: "@,48-57,_,192-255" | |
| 4405 Vi default: "@,48-57,_") | |
| 4406 local to buffer | |
| 4407 {not in Vi} | |
| 4408 Keywords are used in searching and recognizing with many commands: | |
| 10 | 4409 "w", "*", "[i", etc. It is also used for "\k" in a |pattern|. See |
| 7 | 4410 'isfname' for a description of the format of this option. For C |
| 4411 programs you could use "a-z,A-Z,48-57,_,.,-,>". | |
| 4412 For a help file it is set to all non-blank printable characters except | |
| 4413 '*', '"' and '|' (so that CTRL-] on a command finds the help for that | |
| 4414 command). | |
| 4415 When the 'lisp' option is on the '-' character is always included. | |
| 4416 NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is | |
| 4417 set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. | |
| 4418 | |
| 4419 *'isprint'* *'isp'* | |
| 4420 'isprint' 'isp' string (default for MS-DOS, Win32, OS/2 and Macintosh: | |
| 4421 "@,~-255"; otherwise: "@,161-255") | |
| 4422 global | |
| 4423 {not in Vi} | |
| 4424 The characters given by this option are displayed directly on the | |
| 4425 screen. It is also used for "\p" in a |pattern|. The characters from | |
| 4426 space (ASCII 32) to '~' (ASCII 126) are always displayed directly, | |
| 4427 even when they are not included in 'isprint' or excluded. See | |
| 4428 'isfname' for a description of the format of this option. | |
| 4429 | |
| 4430 Non-printable characters are displayed with two characters: | |
| 4431 0 - 31 "^@" - "^_" | |
| 4432 32 - 126 always single characters | |
| 4433 127 "^?" | |
| 4434 128 - 159 "~@" - "~_" | |
| 4435 160 - 254 "| " - "|~" | |
| 4436 255 "~?" | |
| 4437 When 'encoding' is a Unicode one, illegal bytes from 128 to 255 are | |
| 4438 displayed as <xx>, with the hexadecimal value of the byte. | |
| 4439 When 'display' contains "uhex" all unprintable characters are | |
| 4440 displayed as <xx>. | |

| 4493 {not in Vi} | |
| 4494 List of comma separated words, which enable special things that keys | |
| 4495 can do. These values can be used: | |
| 4496 startsel Using a shifted special key starts selection (either | |
| 4497 Select mode or Visual mode, depending on "key" being | |
| 4498 present in 'selectmode'). | |
| 4499 stopsel Using a not-shifted special key stops selection. | |
| 4500 Special keys in this context are the cursor keys, <End>, <Home>, | |
| 4501 <PageUp> and <PageDown>. | |
| 4502 The 'keymodel' option is set by the |:behave| command. | |
| 4503 | |
| 4504 *'keywordprg'* *'kp'* | |
| 4505 'keywordprg' 'kp' string (default "man" or "man -s", DOS: ":help", | |
| 4506 OS/2: "view /", VMS: "help") | |
| 4507 global or local to buffer |global-local| | |
| 4508 {not in Vi} | |
| 4509 Program to use for the |K| command. Environment variables are | |
| 4510 expanded |:set_env|. ":help" may be used to access the Vim internal | |
| 4511 help. (Note that previously setting the global option to the empty | |
| 4512 value did this, which is now deprecated.) | |
| 4513 When "man" is used, Vim will automatically translate a count for the | |
| 4514 "K" command to a section number. Also for "man -s", in which case the | |
| 4515 "-s" is removed when there is no count. | |
| 4516 See |option-backslash| about including spaces and backslashes. | |
| 4517 Example: > | |
| 4518 :set keywordprg=man\ -s | |
| 4519 < This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for | |
| 4520 security reasons. | |
| 4521 | |
| 4522 *'langmap'* *'lmap'* *E357* *E358* | |
| 4523 'langmap' 'lmap' string (default "") | |
| 4524 global | |
| 4525 {not in Vi} | |
| 4526 {only available when compiled with the |+langmap| | |
| 4527 feature} | |
| 4528 This option allows switching your keyboard into a special language | |
| 10 | 4529 mode. When you are typing text in Insert mode the characters are |
| 7 | 4530 inserted directly. When in command mode the 'langmap' option takes |
| 4531 care of translating these special characters to the original meaning | |
| 4532 of the key. This means you don't have to change the keyboard mode to | |
| 4533 be able to execute Normal mode commands. | |
| 4534 This is the opposite of the 'keymap' option, where characters are | |
| 4535 mapped in Insert mode. | |
| 5908 | 4536 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for |
| 4537 security reasons. | |
| 7 | 4538 |
| 699 | 4539 Example (for Greek, in UTF-8): *greek* > |
| 4540 :set langmap=ΑA,ΒB,ΨC,ΔD,ΕE,ΦF,ΓG,ΗH,ΙI,ΞJ,ΚK,ΛL,ΜM,ΝN,ΟO,ΠP,QQ,ΡR,ΣS,ΤT,ΘU,ΩV,WW,ΧX,ΥY,ΖZ,αa,βb,ψc,δd,εe,φf,γg,ηh,ιi,ξj,κk,λl,μm,νn,οo,πp,qq,ρr,σs,τt,θu,ωv,ςw,χx,υy,ζz | |
| 7 | 4541 < Example (exchanges meaning of z and y for commands): > |
| 4542 :set langmap=zy,yz,ZY,YZ | |
| 4543 < | |
| 4544 The 'langmap' option is a list of parts, separated with commas. Each | |
| 4545 part can be in one of two forms: | |
| 4546 1. A list of pairs. Each pair is a "from" character immediately | |
| 4547 followed by the "to" character. Examples: "aA", "aAbBcC". | |
| 4548 2. A list of "from" characters, a semi-colon and a list of "to" | |
| 4549 characters. Example: "abc;ABC" | |
| 4550 Example: "aA,fgh;FGH,cCdDeE" | |
| 4551 Special characters need to be preceded with a backslash. These are | |
| 4552 ";", ',' and backslash itself. | |
| 4553 | |
| 4554 This will allow you to activate vim actions without having to switch | |
| 4555 back and forth between the languages. Your language characters will | |
| 4556 be understood as normal vim English characters (according to the | |
| 4557 langmap mappings) in the following cases: | |
| 4558 o Normal/Visual mode (commands, buffer/register names, user mappings) | |
| 4559 o Insert/Replace Mode: Register names after CTRL-R | |
| 4560 o Insert/Replace Mode: Mappings | |
| 4561 Characters entered in Command-line mode will NOT be affected by | |
| 4562 this option. Note that this option can be changed at any time | |
| 4563 allowing to switch between mappings for different languages/encodings. | |
| 4564 Use a mapping to avoid having to type it each time! | |
| 4565 | |
| 4566 *'langmenu'* *'lm'* | |

| 4573 from the "lang" directory in 'runtimepath': > | |
| 4574 "lang/menu_" . &langmenu . ".vim" | |
| 4575 < (without the spaces). For example, to always use the Dutch menus, no | |
| 4576 matter what $LANG is set to: > | |
| 4577 :set langmenu=nl_NL.ISO_8859-1 | |
| 4578 < When 'langmenu' is empty, |v:lang| is used. | |
| 36 | 4579 Only normal file name characters can be used, "/\*?[|<>" are illegal. |
| 7 | 4580 If your $LANG is set to a non-English language but you do want to use |
| 4581 the English menus: > | |
| 4582 :set langmenu=none | |
| 4583 < This option must be set before loading menus, switching on filetype | |
| 4584 detection or syntax highlighting. Once the menus are defined setting | |

4616 {not available when compiled without the |+linebreak| |
| 7 | 4617 feature} |
| 6009 | 4618 If on, Vim will wrap long lines at a character in 'breakat' rather |
| 7 | 4619 than at the last character that fits on the screen. Unlike |
| 4620 'wrapmargin' and 'textwidth', this does not insert <EOL>s in the file, | |
| 6009 | 4621 it only affects the way the file is displayed, not its contents. |
| 4622 If 'breakindent' is set, line is visually indented. Then, the value | |
| 4623 of 'showbreak' is used to put in front of wrapped lines. This option | |
| 6026 | 4624 is not used when the 'wrap' option is off. |
| 7 | 4625 Note that <Tab> characters after an <EOL> are mostly not displayed |
| 4626 with the right amount of white space. | |
| 4627 | |
| 4628 *'lines'* *E593* | |
| 4629 'lines' number (default 24 or terminal height) | |
| 4630 global | |
| 4631 Number of lines of the Vim window. | |
| 4632 Normally you don't need to set this. It is done automatically by the | |
| 161 | 4633 terminal initialization code. Also see |posix-screen-size|. |
| 7 | 4634 When Vim is running in the GUI or in a resizable window, setting this |
| 4635 option will cause the window size to be changed. When you only want | |
| 4636 to use the size for the GUI, put the command in your |gvimrc| file. | |
| 4637 Vim limits the number of lines to what fits on the screen. You can | |
| 4638 use this command to get the tallest window possible: > | |
| 4639 :set lines=999 | |
| 571 | 4640 < Minimum value is 2, maximum value is 1000. |
| 4641 If you get less lines than expected, check the 'guiheadroom' option. | |
| 7 | 4642 When you set this option and Vim is unable to change the physical |
| 4643 number of lines of the display, the display may be messed up. | |
| 4644 | |
| 4645 *'linespace'* *'lsp'* | |
| 4646 'linespace' 'lsp' number (default 0, 1 for Win32 GUI) | |
| 4647 global | |
| 4648 {not in Vi} | |
| 4649 {only in the GUI} | |
| 4650 Number of pixel lines inserted between characters. Useful if the font | |
| 4651 uses the full character cell height, making lines touch each other. | |
| 4652 When non-zero there is room for underlining. | |
| 180 | 4653 With some fonts there can be too much room between lines (to have |
| 4654 space for ascents and descents). Then it makes sense to set | |
| 4655 'linespace' to a negative value. This may cause display problems | |
| 4656 though! | |
| 7 | 4657 |
| 4658 *'lisp'* *'nolisp'* | |
| 4659 'lisp' boolean (default off) | |
| 4660 local to buffer | |
| 4661 {not available when compiled without the |+lispindent| | |
| 4662 feature} | |
| 4663 Lisp mode: When <Enter> is typed in insert mode set the indent for | |
| 4664 the next line to Lisp standards (well, sort of). Also happens with | |
| 4665 "cc" or "S". 'autoindent' must also be on for this to work. The 'p' | |
| 4666 flag in 'cpoptions' changes the method of indenting: Vi compatible or | |
| 4667 better. Also see 'lispwords'. | |
| 4668 The '-' character is included in keyword characters. Redefines the | |
| 4669 "=" operator to use this same indentation algorithm rather than | |
| 4670 calling an external program if 'equalprg' is empty. | |
| 4671 This option is not used when 'paste' is set. | |
| 4672 {Vi: Does it a little bit differently} | |
| 4673 | |
| 4674 *'lispwords'* *'lw'* | |
| 4675 'lispwords' 'lw' string (default is very long) | |
| 5712 | 4676 global or local to buffer |global-local| |
| 7 | 4677 {not in Vi} |
| 4678 {not available when compiled without the |+lispindent| | |

| 4680 Comma separated list of words that influence the Lisp indenting. | |
| 4681 |'lisp'| | |

| 4759 This is a workaround for when drawing doesn't work properly. When set | |

| 4789 When it is empty, an internally generated temp file will be used. | |
| 4790 When "##" is included, it is replaced by a number to make the name | |
| 4791 unique. This makes sure that the ":make" command doesn't overwrite an | |
| 4792 existing file. | |

| 1152 | 4901 When Vim runs into the limit it gives an error message and mostly |
| 4902 behaves like CTRL-C was typed. | |
| 189 | 4903 Running into the limit often means that the pattern is very |

| 4905 "\(.\)*" on a very long line. ".*" works much better. | |

| 4933 {not in Vi} | |
| 4934 {not available when compiled without the |+syntax| | |
| 4935 feature} | |
| 4936 Parameters for |:mkspell|. This tunes when to start compressing the | |
| 4937 word tree. Compression can be slow when there are many words, but | |
| 4938 it's needed to avoid running out of memory. The amount of memory used | |
| 4939 per word depends very much on how similar the words are, that's why | |
| 4940 this tuning is complicated. | |
| 4941 | |
| 4942 There are three numbers, separated by commas: | |
| 4943 {start},{inc},{added} | |
| 4944 | |
| 4945 For most languages the uncompressed word tree fits in memory. {start} | |
| 4946 gives the amount of memory in Kbyte that can be used before any | |
| 4947 compression is done. It should be a bit smaller than the amount of | |
| 4948 memory that is available to Vim. | |
| 4949 | |
| 4950 When going over the {start} limit the {inc} number specifies the | |
| 4951 amount of memory in Kbyte that can be allocated before another | |
| 4952 compression is done. A low number means compression is done after | |
| 4953 less words are added, which is slow. A high number means more memory | |
| 4954 will be allocated. | |
| 4955 | |
| 4956 After doing compression, {added} times 1024 words can be added before | |
| 4957 the {inc} limit is ignored and compression is done when any extra | |
| 4958 amount of memory is needed. A low number means there is a smaller | |
| 4959 chance of hitting the {inc} limit, less memory is used but it's | |
| 4960 slower. | |
| 4961 | |
| 4962 The languages for which these numbers are important are Italian and | |
| 4963 Hungarian. The default works for when you have about 512 Mbyte. If | |
| 4964 you have 1 Gbyte you could use: > | |
| 4965 :set mkspellmem=900000,3000,800 | |
| 4966 < If you have less than 512 Mbyte |:mkspell| may fail for some | |
| 4967 languages, no matter what you set 'mkspellmem' to. | |
| 4968 | |
| 7 | 4969 *'modeline'* *'ml'* *'nomodeline'* *'noml'* |
| 1111 | 4970 'modeline' 'ml' boolean (Vim default: on (off for root), |
| 4971 Vi default: off) | |
| 7 | 4972 local to buffer |
| 4973 *'modelines'* *'mls'* | |
| 4974 'modelines' 'mls' number (default 5) | |
| 4975 global | |
| 4976 {not in Vi} | |
| 4977 If 'modeline' is on 'modelines' gives the number of lines that is | |
| 4978 checked for set commands. If 'modeline' is off or 'modelines' is zero | |
| 4979 no lines are checked. See |modeline|. | |
| 4980 NOTE: 'modeline' is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is | |
| 4981 set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. | |
| 4982 | |
| 4983 *'modifiable'* *'ma'* *'nomodifiable'* *'noma'* | |
| 4984 'modifiable' 'ma' boolean (default on) | |
| 4985 local to buffer | |
| 4986 {not in Vi} *E21* | |
| 4987 When off the buffer contents cannot be changed. The 'fileformat' and | |
| 4988 'fileencoding' options also can't be changed. | |
| 4989 Can be reset with the |-M| command line argument. | |
| 4990 | |
| 4991 *'modified'* *'mod'* *'nomodified'* *'nomod'* | |
| 4992 'modified' 'mod' boolean (default off) | |
| 4993 local to buffer | |
| 4994 {not in Vi} | |
| 4995 When on, the buffer is considered to be modified. This option is set | |
| 4996 when: | |
| 4997 1. A change was made to the text since it was last written. Using the | |
| 4998 |undo| command to go back to the original text will reset the | |
| 4999 option. But undoing changes that were made before writing the | |
| 5000 buffer will set the option again, since the text is different from | |
| 5001 when it was written. | |
| 5002 2. 'fileformat' or 'fileencoding' is different from its original | |
| 5003 value. The original value is set when the buffer is read or | |
| 5004 written. A ":set nomodified" command also resets the original | |
| 5005 values to the current values and the 'modified' option will be | |
| 5006 reset. | |
| 3082 | 5007 This option is not set when a change is made to the buffer as the |
| 5008 result of a BufNewFile, BufRead/BufReadPost, BufWritePost, | |
| 5009 FileAppendPost or VimLeave autocommand event. See |gzip-example| for | |
| 5010 an explanation. | |
| 7 | 5011 When 'buftype' is "nowrite" or "nofile" this option may be set, but |
| 5012 will be ignored. | |
| 5013 | |
| 5014 *'more'* *'nomore'* | |
| 5015 'more' boolean (Vim default: on, Vi default: off) | |
| 5016 global | |
| 5017 {not in Vi} | |
| 5018 When on, listings pause when the whole screen is filled. You will get | |
| 5019 the |more-prompt|. When this option is off there are no pauses, the | |
| 5020 listing continues until finished. | |
| 5021 NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is | |
| 5022 set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. | |
| 5023 | |
| 5024 *'mouse'* *E538* | |
| 5025 'mouse' string (default "", "a" for GUI, MS-DOS and Win32) | |
| 5026 global | |
| 5027 {not in Vi} | |
| 5028 Enable the use of the mouse. Only works for certain terminals | |
| 1621 | 5029 (xterm, MS-DOS, Win32 |win32-mouse|, QNX pterm, *BSD console with |
| 5030 sysmouse and Linux console with gpm). For using the mouse in the | |
| 5031 GUI, see |gui-mouse|. | |
| 7 | 5032 The mouse can be enabled for different modes: |
| 5033 n Normal mode | |
| 5034 v Visual mode | |
| 5035 i Insert mode | |
| 5036 c Command-line mode | |
| 5037 h all previous modes when editing a help file | |
| 5038 a all previous modes | |
| 5039 r for |hit-enter| and |more-prompt| prompt | |
| 5040 Normally you would enable the mouse in all four modes with: > | |
| 5041 :set mouse=a | |
| 5042 < When the mouse is not enabled, the GUI will still use the mouse for | |
| 5043 modeless selection. This doesn't move the text cursor. | |
| 5044 | |
| 5045 See |mouse-using|. Also see |'clipboard'|. | |
| 5046 | |
| 5047 Note: When enabling the mouse in a terminal, copy/paste will use the | |
| 10 | 5048 "* register if there is access to an X-server. The xterm handling of |
| 7 | 5049 the mouse buttons can still be used by keeping the shift key pressed. |
| 5050 Also see the 'clipboard' option. | |
| 5051 | |
| 5052 *'mousefocus'* *'mousef'* *'nomousefocus'* *'nomousef'* | |
| 5053 'mousefocus' 'mousef' boolean (default off) | |
| 5054 global | |
| 5055 {not in Vi} | |
| 5056 {only works in the GUI} | |
| 5057 The window that the mouse pointer is on is automatically activated. | |
| 5058 When changing the window layout or window focus in another way, the | |
| 5059 mouse pointer is moved to the window with keyboard focus. Off is the | |
| 5060 default because it makes using the pull down menus a little goofy, as | |
| 5061 a pointer transit may activate a window unintentionally. | |
| 5062 | |
| 5063 *'mousehide'* *'mh'* *'nomousehide'* *'nomh'* | |
| 5064 'mousehide' 'mh' boolean (default on) | |
| 5065 global | |
| 5066 {not in Vi} | |
| 5067 {only works in the GUI} | |
| 5068 When on, the mouse pointer is hidden when characters are typed. | |
| 5069 The mouse pointer is restored when the mouse is moved. | |
| 5070 | |
| 5071 *'mousemodel'* *'mousem'* | |
| 5072 'mousemodel' 'mousem' string (default "extend", "popup" for MS-DOS and Win32) | |
| 5073 global | |
| 5074 {not in Vi} | |
| 5075 Sets the model to use for the mouse. The name mostly specifies what | |
| 5076 the right mouse button is used for: | |
| 5077 extend Right mouse button extends a selection. This works | |
| 5078 like in an xterm. | |
| 5079 popup Right mouse button pops up a menu. The shifted left | |
| 5080 mouse button extends a selection. This works like | |
| 233 | 5081 with Microsoft Windows. |
| 7 | 5082 popup_setpos Like "popup", but the cursor will be moved to the |
| 5083 position where the mouse was clicked, and thus the | |
| 5084 selected operation will act upon the clicked object. | |
| 5085 If clicking inside a selection, that selection will | |
| 233 | 5086 be acted upon, i.e. no cursor move. This implies of |
| 7 | 5087 course, that right clicking outside a selection will |
| 5088 end Visual mode. | |
| 5089 Overview of what button does what for each model: | |
| 5090 mouse extend popup(_setpos) ~ | |
| 5091 left click place cursor place cursor | |
| 5092 left drag start selection start selection | |
| 5093 shift-left search word extend selection | |
| 5094 right click extend selection popup menu (place cursor) | |
| 5095 right drag extend selection - | |
| 5096 middle click paste paste | |
| 5097 | |
| 5098 In the "popup" model the right mouse button produces a pop-up menu. | |
| 5099 You need to define this first, see |popup-menu|. | |
| 5100 | |
| 5101 Note that you can further refine the meaning of buttons with mappings. | |
| 5102 See |gui-mouse-mapping|. But mappings are NOT used for modeless | |
| 5103 selection (because that's handled in the GUI code directly). | |
| 5104 | |
| 5105 The 'mousemodel' option is set by the |:behave| command. | |
| 5106 | |
| 5107 *'mouseshape'* *'mouses'* *E547* | |
| 5108 'mouseshape' 'mouses' string (default "i:beam,r:beam,s:updown,sd:cross, | |
| 233 | 5109 m:no,ml:up-arrow,v:rightup-arrow") |
| 7 | 5110 global |
| 5111 {not in Vi} | |
| 5112 {only available when compiled with the |+mouseshape| | |
| 5113 feature} | |
| 5114 This option tells Vim what the mouse pointer should look like in | |
| 5115 different modes. The option is a comma separated list of parts, much | |
| 5116 like used for 'guicursor'. Each part consist of a mode/location-list | |
| 5117 and an argument-list: | |
| 5118 mode-list:shape,mode-list:shape,.. | |
| 5119 The mode-list is a dash separated list of these modes/locations: | |
| 5120 In a normal window: ~ | |
| 5121 n Normal mode | |
| 5122 v Visual mode | |
| 5123 ve Visual mode with 'selection' "exclusive" (same as 'v', | |
| 5124 if not specified) | |
| 5125 o Operator-pending mode | |
| 5126 i Insert mode | |
| 5127 r Replace mode | |
| 5128 | |
| 5129 Others: ~ | |
| 5130 c appending to the command-line | |
| 5131 ci inserting in the command-line | |
| 5132 cr replacing in the command-line | |
| 5133 m at the 'Hit ENTER' or 'More' prompts | |
| 5134 ml idem, but cursor in the last line | |
| 5135 e any mode, pointer below last window | |
| 5136 s any mode, pointer on a status line | |
| 5137 sd any mode, while dragging a status line | |
| 5138 vs any mode, pointer on a vertical separator line | |
| 5139 vd any mode, while dragging a vertical separator line | |
| 5140 a everywhere | |
| 5141 | |
| 5142 The shape is one of the following: | |
| 5143 avail name looks like ~ | |
| 5144 w x arrow Normal mouse pointer | |
| 5145 w x blank no pointer at all (use with care!) | |
| 5146 w x beam I-beam | |
| 5147 w x updown up-down sizing arrows | |
| 5148 w x leftright left-right sizing arrows | |
| 5149 w x busy The system's usual busy pointer | |
| 5150 w x no The system's usual 'no input' pointer | |
| 5151 x udsizing indicates up-down resizing | |
| 5152 x lrsizing indicates left-right resizing | |
| 5153 x crosshair like a big thin + | |
| 5154 x hand1 black hand | |
| 5155 x hand2 white hand | |
| 5156 x pencil what you write with | |
| 5157 x question big ? | |
| 5158 x rightup-arrow arrow pointing right-up | |
| 5159 w x up-arrow arrow pointing up | |
| 5160 x <number> any X11 pointer number (see X11/cursorfont.h) | |
| 5161 | |
| 5162 The "avail" column contains a 'w' if the shape is available for Win32, | |
| 5163 x for X11. | |
| 5164 Any modes not specified or shapes not available use the normal mouse | |
| 5165 pointer. | |
| 5166 | |
| 5167 Example: > | |
| 5168 :set mouseshape=s:udsizing,m:no | |
| 5169 < will make the mouse turn to a sizing arrow over the status lines and | |
| 5170 indicate no input when the hit-enter prompt is displayed (since | |
| 5171 clicking the mouse has no effect in this state.) | |
| 5172 | |
| 5173 *'mousetime'* *'mouset'* | |
| 5174 'mousetime' 'mouset' number (default 500) | |
| 5175 global | |
| 5176 {not in Vi} | |
| 5177 Only for GUI, MS-DOS, Win32 and Unix with xterm. Defines the maximum | |
| 5178 time in msec between two mouse clicks for the second click to be | |
| 5179 recognized as a multi click. | |
| 5180 | |
| 14 | 5181 *'mzquantum'* *'mzq'* |
| 5182 'mzquantum' 'mzq' number (default 100) | |
| 5183 global | |
| 5184 {not in Vi} | |
| 5185 {not available when compiled without the |+mzscheme| | |
| 5186 feature} | |
| 5187 The number of milliseconds between polls for MzScheme threads. | |
| 5188 Negative or zero value means no thread scheduling. | |
| 5189 | |
| 7 | 5190 *'nrformats'* *'nf'* |
| 5191 'nrformats' 'nf' string (default "octal,hex") | |
| 5192 local to buffer | |
| 5193 {not in Vi} | |
| 5194 This defines what bases Vim will consider for numbers when using the | |
| 5195 CTRL-A and CTRL-X commands for adding to and subtracting from a number | |
| 5196 respectively; see |CTRL-A| for more info on these commands. | |
| 625 | 5197 alpha If included, single alphabetical characters will be |
| 7 | 5198 incremented or decremented. This is useful for a list with a |
| 3237 | 5199 letter index a), b), etc. *octal-nrformats* |
| 625 | 5200 octal If included, numbers that start with a zero will be considered |
| 7 | 5201 to be octal. Example: Using CTRL-A on "007" results in "010". |
| 625 | 5202 hex If included, numbers starting with "0x" or "0X" will be |
| 7 | 5203 considered to be hexadecimal. Example: Using CTRL-X on |
| 5204 "0x100" results in "0x0ff". | |
| 5205 Numbers which simply begin with a digit in the range 1-9 are always | |
| 5206 considered decimal. This also happens for numbers that are not | |
| 5207 recognized as octal or hex. | |
| 5208 | |
| 5209 *'number'* *'nu'* *'nonumber'* *'nonu'* | |
| 5210 'number' 'nu' boolean (default off) | |
| 5211 local to window | |
| 5212 Print the line number in front of each line. When the 'n' option is | |
| 5213 excluded from 'cpoptions' a wrapped line will not use the column of | |
| 5214 line numbers (this is the default when 'compatible' isn't set). | |
| 13 | 5215 The 'numberwidth' option can be used to set the room used for the line |
| 5216 number. | |
| 7 | 5217 When a long, wrapped line doesn't start with the first character, '-' |
| 5218 characters are put before the number. | |
| 3445 | 5219 See |hl-LineNr| and |hl-CursorLineNr| for the highlighting used for |
| 5220 the number. | |
| 4780 | 5221 *number_relativenumber* |
| 5222 The 'relativenumber' option changes the displayed number to be | |
| 5223 relative to the cursor. Together with 'number' there are these | |
| 5224 four combinations (cursor in line 3): | |
| 5225 | |
| 5226 'nonu' 'nu' 'nonu' 'nu' | |
| 5227 'nornu' 'nornu' 'rnu' 'rnu' | |
| 5228 | |
| 5229 |apple | 1 apple | 2 apple | 2 apple | |
| 5230 |pear | 2 pear | 1 pear | 1 pear | |
| 5231 |nobody | 3 nobody | 0 nobody |3 nobody | |
| 5232 |there | 4 there | 1 there | 1 there | |
| 7 | 5233 |
| 13 | 5234 *'numberwidth'* *'nuw'* |
| 5235 'numberwidth' 'nuw' number (Vim default: 4 Vi default: 8) | |
| 5236 local to window | |
| 14 | 5237 {not in Vi} |

| 5273 Enable reading and writing from devices. This may get Vim stuck on a | |
| 5274 device that can be opened but doesn't actually do the I/O. Therefore | |
| 5275 it is off by default. | |
| 5276 Note that on MS-Windows editing "aux.h", "lpt1.txt" and the like also | |
| 5277 result in editing a device. | |

| 5292 'osfiletype' 'oft' string (default: "") | |
| 7 | 5293 local to buffer |
| 5294 {not in Vi} | |
| 2908 | 5295 This option was supported on RISC OS, which has been removed. |

| 5298 *'paragraphs'* *'para'* | |
| 1564 | 5299 'paragraphs' 'para' string (default "IPLPPPQPP TPHPLIPpLpItpplpipbp") |
| 7 | 5300 global |
| 5301 Specifies the nroff macros that separate paragraphs. These are pairs | |
| 5302 of two letters (see |object-motions|). | |
| 5303 | |
| 5304 *'paste'* *'nopaste'* | |
| 5305 'paste' boolean (default off) | |
| 5306 global | |
| 5307 {not in Vi} | |
| 10 | 5308 Put Vim in Paste mode. This is useful if you want to cut or copy |
| 5309 some text from one window and paste it in Vim. This will avoid | |
| 7 | 5310 unexpected effects. |
| 5311 Setting this option is useful when using Vim in a terminal, where Vim | |
| 10 | 5312 cannot distinguish between typed text and pasted text. In the GUI, Vim |
| 7 | 5313 knows about pasting and will mostly do the right thing without 'paste' |
| 5314 being set. The same is true for a terminal where Vim handles the | |
| 5315 mouse clicks itself. | |
| 148 | 5316 This option is reset when starting the GUI. Thus if you set it in |
| 5317 your .vimrc it will work in a terminal, but not in the GUI. Setting | |
| 5318 'paste' in the GUI has side effects: e.g., the Paste toolbar button | |
| 5319 will no longer work in Insert mode, because it uses a mapping. | |
| 7 | 5320 When the 'paste' option is switched on (also when it was already on): |
| 5321 - mapping in Insert mode and Command-line mode is disabled | |
| 5322 - abbreviations are disabled | |
| 5323 - 'textwidth' is set to 0 | |
| 5324 - 'wrapmargin' is set to 0 | |
| 5325 - 'autoindent' is reset | |
| 5326 - 'smartindent' is reset | |
| 5327 - 'softtabstop' is set to 0 | |
| 5328 - 'revins' is reset | |
| 5329 - 'ruler' is reset | |
| 5330 - 'showmatch' is reset | |
| 5331 - 'formatoptions' is used like it is empty | |
| 5332 These options keep their value, but their effect is disabled: | |
| 5333 - 'lisp' | |
| 5334 - 'indentexpr' | |
| 5335 - 'cindent' | |
| 5336 NOTE: When you start editing another file while the 'paste' option is | |
| 5337 on, settings from the modelines or autocommands may change the | |
| 5338 settings again, causing trouble when pasting text. You might want to | |
| 5339 set the 'paste' option again. | |
| 5340 When the 'paste' option is reset the mentioned options are restored to | |
| 5341 the value before the moment 'paste' was switched from off to on. | |
| 5342 Resetting 'paste' before ever setting it does not have any effect. | |
| 5343 Since mapping doesn't work while 'paste' is active, you need to use | |
| 5344 the 'pastetoggle' option to toggle the 'paste' option with some key. | |
| 5345 | |
| 5346 *'pastetoggle'* *'pt'* | |
| 5347 'pastetoggle' 'pt' string (default "") | |
| 5348 global | |
| 5349 {not in Vi} | |
| 5350 When non-empty, specifies the key sequence that toggles the 'paste' | |
| 5351 option. This is like specifying a mapping: > | |
| 5352 :map {keys} :set invpaste<CR> | |
| 5353 < Where {keys} is the value of 'pastetoggle'. | |
| 5354 The difference is that it will work even when 'paste' is set. | |
| 5355 'pastetoggle' works in Insert mode and Normal mode, but not in | |
| 5356 Command-line mode. | |
| 5357 Mappings are checked first, thus overrule 'pastetoggle'. However, | |
| 5358 when 'paste' is on mappings are ignored in Insert mode, thus you can do | |
| 5359 this: > | |
| 5360 :map <F10> :set paste<CR> | |
| 5361 :map <F11> :set nopaste<CR> | |
| 5362 :imap <F10> <C-O>:set paste<CR> | |
| 5363 :imap <F11> <nop> | |
| 5364 :set pastetoggle=<F11> | |
| 5365 < This will make <F10> start paste mode and <F11> stop paste mode. | |
| 5366 Note that typing <F10> in paste mode inserts "<F10>", since in paste | |
| 5367 mode everything is inserted literally, except the 'pastetoggle' key | |
| 5368 sequence. | |
| 1621 | 5369 When the value has several bytes 'ttimeoutlen' applies. |

5380 *'patchmode'* *'pm'* *E205* *E206* |
| 7 | 5381 'patchmode' 'pm' string (default "") |
| 5382 global | |
| 5383 {not in Vi} | |
| 5384 When non-empty the oldest version of a file is kept. This can be used | |
| 5385 to keep the original version of a file if you are changing files in a | |
| 5386 source distribution. Only the first time that a file is written a | |
| 5387 copy of the original file will be kept. The name of the copy is the | |
| 5388 name of the original file with the string in the 'patchmode' option | |
| 5389 appended. This option should start with a dot. Use a string like | |
| 5390 ".org". 'backupdir' must not be empty for this to work (Detail: The | |
| 5391 backup file is renamed to the patchmode file after the new file has | |
| 5392 been successfully written, that's why it must be possible to write a | |
| 5393 backup file). If there was no file to be backed up, an empty file is | |
| 5394 created. | |
| 5395 When the 'backupskip' pattern matches, a patchmode file is not made. | |
| 5396 Using 'patchmode' for compressed files appends the extension at the | |
| 5397 end (e.g., "file.gz.orig"), thus the resulting name isn't always | |
| 5398 recognized as a compressed file. | |
| 36 | 5399 Only normal file name characters can be used, "/\*?[|<>" are illegal. |

| 3224 | 5401 *'path'* *'pa'* *E343* *E345* *E347* *E854* |

| 5404 other systems: ".,,") | |
| 5405 global or local to buffer |global-local| | |
| 5406 {not in Vi} | |
| 5407 This is a list of directories which will be searched when using the | |
| 1668 | 5408 |gf|, [f, ]f, ^Wf, |:find|, |:sfind|, |:tabfind| and other commands, |
| 5409 provided that the file being searched for has a relative path (not | |
| 5410 starting with "/", "./" or "../"). The directories in the 'path' | |
| 5411 option may be relative or absolute. | |
| 7 | 5412 - Use commas to separate directory names: > |
| 5413 :set path=.,/usr/local/include,/usr/include | |
| 5414 < - Spaces can also be used to separate directory names (for backwards | |
| 5415 compatibility with version 3.0). To have a space in a directory | |
| 5416 name, precede it with an extra backslash, and escape the space: > | |
| 5417 :set path=.,/dir/with\\\ space | |
| 5418 < - To include a comma in a directory name precede it with an extra | |
| 5419 backslash: > | |
| 5420 :set path=.,/dir/with\\,comma | |
| 5421 < - To search relative to the directory of the current file, use: > | |
| 5422 :set path=. | |
| 5423 < - To search in the current directory use an empty string between two | |
| 5424 commas: > | |
| 5425 :set path=,, | |
| 5426 < - A directory name may end in a ':' or '/'. | |
| 5427 - Environment variables are expanded |:set_env|. | |
| 5428 - When using |netrw.vim| URLs can be used. For example, adding | |
| 5429 "http://www.vim.org" will make ":find index.html" work. | |
| 1668 | 5430 - Search upwards and downwards in a directory tree using "*", "**" and |
| 5431 ";". See |file-searching| for info and syntax. | |
| 7 | 5432 {not available when compiled without the |+path_extra| feature} |
| 5433 - Careful with '\' characters, type two to get one in the option: > | |
| 5434 :set path=.,c:\\include | |
| 5435 < Or just use '/' instead: > | |
| 5436 :set path=.,c:/include | |
| 5437 < Don't forget "." or files won't even be found in the same directory as | |
| 5438 the file! | |
| 10 | 5439 The maximum length is limited. How much depends on the system, mostly |
| 7 | 5440 it is something like 256 or 1024 characters. |
| 5441 You can check if all the include files are found, using the value of | |
| 5442 'path', see |:checkpath|. | |
| 5443 The use of |:set+=| and |:set-=| is preferred when adding or removing | |
| 5444 directories from the list. This avoids problems when a future version | |
| 5445 uses another default. To remove the current directory use: > | |
| 5446 :set path-= | |
| 5447 < To add the current directory use: > | |
| 5448 :set path+= | |
| 5449 < To use an environment variable, you probably need to replace the | |
| 5450 separator. Here is an example to append $INCL, in which directory | |
| 5451 names are separated with a semi-colon: > | |
| 5452 :let &path = &path . "," . substitute($INCL, ';', ',', 'g') | |
| 5453 < Replace the ';' with a ':' or whatever separator is used. Note that | |
| 5454 this doesn't work when $INCL contains a comma or white space. | |
| 5455 | |
| 5456 *'preserveindent'* *'pi'* *'nopreserveindent'* *'nopi'* | |
| 5457 'preserveindent' 'pi' boolean (default off) | |
| 5458 local to buffer | |
| 5459 {not in Vi} | |
| 5460 When changing the indent of the current line, preserve as much of the | |
| 5461 indent structure as possible. Normally the indent is replaced by a | |
| 5462 series of tabs followed by spaces as required (unless |'expandtab'| is | |
| 5463 enabled, in which case only spaces are used). Enabling this option | |
| 5464 means the indent will preserve as many existing characters as possible | |
| 5465 for indenting, and only add additional tabs or spaces as required. | |
| 1621 | 5466 'expandtab' does not apply to the preserved white space, a Tab remains |
| 5467 a Tab. | |
| 7 | 5468 NOTE: When using ">>" multiple times the resulting indent is a mix of |
| 5469 tabs and spaces. You might not like this. | |
| 5470 NOTE: 'preserveindent' is reset when 'compatible' is set. | |
| 5471 Also see 'copyindent'. | |
| 5472 Use |:retab| to clean up white space. | |

| 5745 When set, the screen contents is restored when exiting Vim. This also | |
| 5746 happens when executing external commands. | |
| 5747 | |
| 5748 For non-Windows Vim: You can set or reset the 't_ti' and 't_te' | |
| 5749 options in your .vimrc. To disable restoring: | |
| 5750 set t_ti= t_te= | |
| 5751 To enable restoring (for an xterm): | |
| 5752 set t_ti=^[7^[[r^[[?47h t_te=^[[?47l^[8 | |
| 5753 (Where ^[ is an <Esc>, type CTRL-V <Esc> to insert it) | |

| 5758 {not in Vi} | |
| 5759 {only available when compiled with the |+rightleft| | |
| 5760 feature} | |
| 5761 Inserting characters in Insert mode will work backwards. See "typing | |
| 5762 backwards" |ins-reverse|. This option can be toggled with the CTRL-_ | |
| 5763 command in Insert mode, when 'allowrevins' is set. | |
| 5764 NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' or 'paste' is set. | |
| 5765 | |
| 5766 *'rightleft'* *'rl'* *'norightleft'* *'norl'* | |
| 5767 'rightleft' 'rl' boolean (default off) | |
| 5768 local to window | |
| 5769 {not in Vi} | |
| 5770 {only available when compiled with the |+rightleft| | |
| 5771 feature} | |
| 5772 When on, display orientation becomes right-to-left, i.e., characters | |
| 5773 that are stored in the file appear from the right to the left. | |
| 5774 Using this option, it is possible to edit files for languages that | |
| 5775 are written from the right to the left such as Hebrew and Arabic. | |
| 5776 This option is per window, so it is possible to edit mixed files | |
| 5777 simultaneously, or to view the same file in both ways (this is | |
| 5778 useful whenever you have a mixed text file with both right-to-left | |
| 5779 and left-to-right strings so that both sets are displayed properly | |
| 5780 in different windows). Also see |rileft.txt|. | |
| 5781 | |

| 7 | 5783 'rightleftcmd' 'rlc' string (default "search") |
| 5784 local to window | |
| 5785 {not in Vi} | |
| 5786 {only available when compiled with the |+rightleft| | |
| 5787 feature} | |
| 5788 Each word in this option enables the command line editing to work in | |
| 5789 right-to-left mode for a group of commands: | |
| 5790 | |
| 5791 search "/" and "?" commands | |
| 5792 | |
| 5793 This is useful for languages such as Hebrew, Arabic and Farsi. | |
| 5794 The 'rightleft' option must be set for 'rightleftcmd' to take effect. | |
| 5795 | |
| 5796 *'ruler'* *'ru'* *'noruler'* *'noru'* | |
| 5797 'ruler' 'ru' boolean (default off) | |
| 5798 global | |
| 5799 {not in Vi} | |
| 5800 {not available when compiled without the | |
| 5801 |+cmdline_info| feature} | |
| 5802 Show the line and column number of the cursor position, separated by a | |
| 10 | 5803 comma. When there is room, the relative position of the displayed |
| 7 | 5804 text in the file is shown on the far right: |
| 5805 Top first line is visible | |
| 5806 Bot last line is visible | |
| 5807 All first and last line are visible | |
| 5808 45% relative position in the file | |
| 5809 If 'rulerformat' is set, it will determine the contents of the ruler. | |
| 10 | 5810 Each window has its own ruler. If a window has a status line, the |
| 7 | 5811 ruler is shown there. Otherwise it is shown in the last line of the |
| 233 | 5812 screen. If the statusline is given by 'statusline' (i.e. not empty), |
| 7 | 5813 this option takes precedence over 'ruler' and 'rulerformat' |
| 5814 If the number of characters displayed is different from the number of | |
| 5815 bytes in the text (e.g., for a TAB or a multi-byte character), both | |
| 5816 the text column (byte number) and the screen column are shown, | |
| 5817 separated with a dash. | |
| 5818 For an empty line "0-1" is shown. | |
| 5819 For an empty buffer the line number will also be zero: "0,0-1". | |
| 5820 This option is reset when the 'paste' option is set. | |
| 5821 If you don't want to see the ruler all the time but want to know where | |
| 5822 you are, use "g CTRL-G" |g_CTRL-G|. | |
| 5823 NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. | |
| 5824 | |
| 5825 *'rulerformat'* *'ruf'* | |
| 5826 'rulerformat' 'ruf' string (default empty) | |
| 5827 global | |
| 5828 {not in Vi} | |
| 5829 {not available when compiled without the |+statusline| | |
| 5830 feature} | |
| 5831 When this option is not empty, it determines the content of the ruler | |
| 5832 string, as displayed for the 'ruler' option. | |
| 692 | 5833 The format of this option is like that of 'statusline'. |
| 7 | 5834 The default ruler width is 17 characters. To make the ruler 15 |
| 5835 characters wide, put "%15(" at the start and "%)" at the end. | |
| 5836 Example: > | |
| 5837 :set rulerformat=%15(%c%V\ %p%%%) | |

| 5887 | |
| 5888 And any other file searched for with the |:runtime| command. | |
| 5889 | |
| 5890 The defaults for most systems are setup to search five locations: | |
| 5891 1. In your home directory, for your personal preferences. | |
| 5892 2. In a system-wide Vim directory, for preferences from the system | |
| 5893 administrator. | |
| 5894 3. In $VIMRUNTIME, for files distributed with Vim. | |
| 5895 *after-directory* | |
| 5896 4. In the "after" directory in the system-wide Vim directory. This is | |
| 5897 for the system administrator to overrule or add to the distributed | |
| 5898 defaults (rarely needed) | |
| 5899 5. In the "after" directory in your home directory. This is for | |
| 5900 personal preferences to overrule or add to the distributed defaults | |
| 5901 or system-wide settings (rarely needed). | |
| 5902 | |
| 5903 Note that, unlike 'path', no wildcards like "**" are allowed. Normal | |
| 5904 wildcards are allowed, but can significantly slow down searching for | |
| 10 | 5905 runtime files. For speed, use as few items as possible and avoid |
| 7 | 5906 wildcards. |
| 5907 See |:runtime|. | |
| 5908 Example: > | |
| 5909 :set runtimepath=~/vimruntime,/mygroup/vim,$VIMRUNTIME | |
| 5910 < This will use the directory "~/vimruntime" first (containing your | |
| 5911 personal Vim runtime files), then "/mygroup/vim" (shared between a | |
| 5912 group of people) and finally "$VIMRUNTIME" (the distributed runtime | |
| 5913 files). | |
| 5914 You probably should always include $VIMRUNTIME somewhere, to use the | |
| 5915 distributed runtime files. You can put a directory before $VIMRUNTIME | |
| 5916 to find files which replace a distributed runtime files. You can put | |
| 5917 a directory after $VIMRUNTIME to find files which add to distributed | |
| 5918 runtime files. | |
| 5919 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for | |
| 5920 security reasons. | |
| 5921 | |
| 5922 *'scroll'* *'scr'* | |
| 5923 'scroll' 'scr' number (default: half the window height) | |
| 5924 local to window | |
| 5925 Number of lines to scroll with CTRL-U and CTRL-D commands. Will be | |
| 5926 set to half the number of lines in the window when the window size | |
| 5927 changes. If you give a count to the CTRL-U or CTRL-D command it will | |
| 10 | 5928 be used as the new value for 'scroll'. Reset to half the window |
| 7 | 5929 height with ":set scroll=0". {Vi is a bit different: 'scroll' gives |
| 5930 the number of screen lines instead of file lines, makes a difference | |
| 5931 when lines wrap} | |
| 5932 | |
| 5933 *'scrollbind'* *'scb'* *'noscrollbind'* *'noscb'* | |
| 5934 'scrollbind' 'scb' boolean (default off) | |
| 5935 local to window | |
| 5936 {not in Vi} | |
| 5937 {not available when compiled without the |+scrollbind| | |
| 5938 feature} | |
| 5939 See also |scroll-binding|. When this option is set, the current | |
| 5940 window scrolls as other scrollbind windows (windows that also have | |
| 5941 this option set) scroll. This option is useful for viewing the | |
| 5942 differences between two versions of a file, see 'diff'. | |
| 5943 See |'scrollopt'| for options that determine how this option should be | |
| 5944 interpreted. | |
| 5945 This option is mostly reset when splitting a window to edit another | |
| 5946 file. This means that ":split | edit file" results in two windows | |
| 5947 with scroll-binding, but ":split file" does not. | |
| 5948 | |
| 5949 *'scrolljump'* *'sj'* | |
| 5950 'scrolljump' 'sj' number (default 1) | |
| 5951 global | |
| 5952 {not in Vi} | |
| 5953 Minimal number of lines to scroll when the cursor gets off the | |
| 5954 screen (e.g., with "j"). Not used for scroll commands (e.g., CTRL-E, | |
| 5955 CTRL-D). Useful if your terminal scrolls very slowly. | |
| 532 | 5956 When set to a negative number from -1 to -100 this is used as the |
| 5957 percentage of the window height. Thus -50 scrolls half the window | |
| 5958 height. | |
| 7 | 5959 NOTE: This option is set to 1 when 'compatible' is set. |
| 5960 | |
| 5961 *'scrolloff'* *'so'* | |
| 5962 'scrolloff' 'so' number (default 0) | |
| 5963 global | |
| 5964 {not in Vi} | |
| 5965 Minimal number of screen lines to keep above and below the cursor. | |
| 5966 This will make some context visible around where you are working. If | |
| 5967 you set it to a very large value (999) the cursor line will always be | |
| 5968 in the middle of the window (except at the start or end of the file or | |
| 5969 when long lines wrap). | |
| 5970 For scrolling horizontally see 'sidescrolloff'. | |
| 5971 NOTE: This option is set to 0 when 'compatible' is set. | |
| 5972 | |
| 5973 *'scrollopt'* *'sbo'* | |
| 5974 'scrollopt' 'sbo' string (default "ver,jump") | |
| 5975 global | |
| 5976 {not available when compiled without the |+scrollbind| | |
| 5977 feature} | |
| 5978 {not in Vi} | |
| 5979 This is a comma-separated list of words that specifies how | |
| 236 | 5980 'scrollbind' windows should behave. 'sbo' stands for ScrollBind |
| 5981 Options. | |
| 7 | 5982 The following words are available: |
| 5983 ver Bind vertical scrolling for 'scrollbind' windows | |
| 5984 hor Bind horizontal scrolling for 'scrollbind' windows | |
| 5985 jump Applies to the offset between two windows for vertical | |
| 5986 scrolling. This offset is the difference in the first | |
| 5987 displayed line of the bound windows. When moving | |
| 5988 around in a window, another 'scrollbind' window may | |
| 5989 reach a position before the start or after the end of | |
| 5990 the buffer. The offset is not changed though, when | |
| 5991 moving back the 'scrollbind' window will try to scroll | |
| 5992 to the desired position when possible. | |
| 5993 When now making that window the current one, two | |
| 5994 things can be done with the relative offset: | |
| 5995 1. When "jump" is not included, the relative offset is | |
| 5996 adjusted for the scroll position in the new current | |
| 5997 window. When going back to the other window, the | |
| 1152 | 5998 new relative offset will be used. |
| 7 | 5999 2. When "jump" is included, the other windows are |
| 6000 scrolled to keep the same relative offset. When | |
| 6001 going back to the other window, it still uses the | |
| 6002 same relative offset. | |
| 6003 Also see |scroll-binding|. | |
| 819 | 6004 When 'diff' mode is active there always is vertical scroll binding, |
| 6005 even when "ver" isn't there. | |
| 7 | 6006 |
| 6007 *'sections'* *'sect'* | |
| 6008 'sections' 'sect' string (default "SHNHH HUnhsh") | |
| 6009 global | |
| 6010 Specifies the nroff macros that separate sections. These are pairs of | |
| 6011 two letters (See |object-motions|). The default makes a section start | |
| 6012 at the nroff macros ".SH", ".NH", ".H", ".HU", ".nh" and ".sh". | |
| 6013 | |
| 6014 *'secure'* *'nosecure'* *E523* | |
| 6015 'secure' boolean (default off) | |
| 6016 global | |
| 6017 {not in Vi} | |
| 6018 When on, ":autocmd", shell and write commands are not allowed in | |
| 6019 ".vimrc" and ".exrc" in the current directory and map commands are | |
| 6020 displayed. Switch it off only if you know that you will not run into | |
| 6021 problems, or when the 'exrc' option is off. On Unix this option is | |
| 6022 only used if the ".vimrc" or ".exrc" is not owned by you. This can be | |
| 10 | 6023 dangerous if the systems allows users to do a "chown". You better set |
| 7 | 6024 'secure' at the end of your ~/.vimrc then. |
| 6025 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for | |
| 6026 security reasons. | |
| 6027 | |
| 6028 *'selection'* *'sel'* | |
| 6029 'selection' 'sel' string (default "inclusive") | |

| 6032 This option defines the behavior of the selection. It is only used | |
| 6033 in Visual and Select mode. | |
| 6034 Possible values: | |
| 6035 value past line inclusive ~ | |
| 6036 old no yes | |
| 6037 inclusive yes yes | |
| 6038 exclusive yes no | |
| 6039 "past line" means that the cursor is allowed to be positioned one | |
| 6040 character past the line. | |
| 6041 "inclusive" means that the last character of the selection is included | |
| 6042 in an operation. For example, when "x" is used to delete the | |
| 6043 selection. | |
| 6044 Note that when "exclusive" is used and selecting from the end | |
| 6045 backwards, you cannot include the last character of a line, when | |
| 6046 starting in Normal mode and 'virtualedit' empty. | |
| 6047 | |
| 6048 The 'selection' option is set by the |:behave| command. | |

6104 with absolute paths. |
| 7 | 6105 "slash" and "unix" are useful on Windows when sharing session files |
| 6106 with Unix. The Unix version of Vim cannot source dos format scripts, | |
| 6107 but the Windows version of Vim can source unix format scripts. | |
| 6108 | |
| 6109 *'shell'* *'sh'* *E91* | |
| 6110 'shell' 'sh' string (default $SHELL or "sh", | |
| 6111 MS-DOS and Win32: "command.com" or | |
| 6112 "cmd.exe", OS/2: "cmd") | |
| 6113 global | |
| 6114 Name of the shell to use for ! and :! commands. When changing the | |
| 6115 value also check these options: 'shelltype', 'shellpipe', 'shellslash' | |
| 6116 'shellredir', 'shellquote', 'shellxquote' and 'shellcmdflag'. | |
| 10 | 6117 It is allowed to give an argument to the command, e.g. "csh -f". |
| 7 | 6118 See |option-backslash| about including spaces and backslashes. |
| 6119 Environment variables are expanded |:set_env|. | |
| 6120 If the name of the shell contains a space, you might need to enclose | |
| 6121 it in quotes. Example: > | |
| 6122 :set shell=\"c:\program\ files\unix\sh.exe\"\ -f | |
| 6123 < Note the backslash before each quote (to avoid starting a comment) and | |
| 10 | 6124 each space (to avoid ending the option value). Also note that the |
| 7 | 6125 "-f" is not inside the quotes, because it is not part of the command |
| 6126 name. And Vim automagically recognizes the backslashes that are path | |
| 6127 separators. | |
| 6128 For Dos 32 bits (DJGPP), you can set the $DJSYSFLAGS environment | |
| 6129 variable to change the way external commands are executed. See the | |
| 6130 libc.inf file of DJGPP. | |
| 6131 Under MS-Windows, when the executable ends in ".com" it must be | |
| 6132 included. Thus setting the shell to "command.com" or "4dos.com" | |
| 6133 works, but "command" and "4dos" do not work for all commands (e.g., | |
| 6134 filtering). | |
| 6135 For unknown reasons, when using "4dos.com" the current directory is | |
| 6136 changed to "C:\". To avoid this set 'shell' like this: > | |
| 6137 :set shell=command.com\ /c\ 4dos | |
| 6138 < This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for | |
| 6139 security reasons. | |
| 6140 | |
| 6141 *'shellcmdflag'* *'shcf'* | |
| 3356 | 6142 'shellcmdflag' 'shcf' string (default: "-c"; |
| 3371 | 6143 MS-DOS and Win32, when 'shell' does not |
| 6144 contain "sh" somewhere: "/c") | |
| 7 | 6145 global |
| 6146 {not in Vi} | |
| 6147 Flag passed to the shell to execute "!" and ":!" commands; e.g., | |
| 6148 "bash.exe -c ls" or "command.com /c dir". For the MS-DOS-like | |
| 6149 systems, the default is set according to the value of 'shell', to | |
| 6150 reduce the need to set this option by the user. It's not used for | |
| 3082 | 6151 OS/2 (EMX figures this out itself). |
| 6152 On Unix it can have more than one flag. Each white space separated | |
| 6153 part is passed as an argument to the shell command. | |
| 6154 See |option-backslash| about including spaces and backslashes. | |
| 6155 Also see |dos-shell| for MS-DOS and MS-Windows. | |
| 7 | 6156 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for |
| 6157 security reasons. | |
| 6158 | |
| 6159 *'shellpipe'* *'sp'* | |
| 6160 'shellpipe' 'sp' string (default ">", "| tee", "|& tee" or "2>&1| tee") | |
| 6161 global | |
| 6162 {not in Vi} | |
| 6163 {not available when compiled without the |+quickfix| | |
| 6164 feature} | |
| 6165 String to be used to put the output of the ":make" command in the | |
| 10 | 6166 error file. See also |:make_makeprg|. See |option-backslash| about |
| 7 | 6167 including spaces and backslashes. |
| 6168 The name of the temporary file can be represented by "%s" if necessary | |
| 6169 (the file name is appended automatically if no %s appears in the value | |
| 6170 of this option). | |
| 6171 For the Amiga and MS-DOS the default is ">". The output is directly | |
| 6172 saved in a file and not echoed to the screen. | |
| 6173 For Unix the default it "| tee". The stdout of the compiler is saved | |
| 6174 in a file and echoed to the screen. If the 'shell' option is "csh" or | |
| 6175 "tcsh" after initializations, the default becomes "|& tee". If the | |
| 2788 | 6176 'shell' option is "sh", "ksh", "mksh", "pdksh", "zsh" or "bash" the |
| 6177 default becomes "2>&1| tee". This means that stderr is also included. | |
| 6178 Before using the 'shell' option a path is removed, thus "/bin/sh" uses | |
| 6179 "sh". | |
| 7 | 6180 The initialization of this option is done after reading the ".vimrc" |
| 6181 and the other initializations, so that when the 'shell' option is set | |
| 6182 there, the 'shellpipe' option changes automatically, unless it was | |
| 6183 explicitly set before. | |
| 6184 When 'shellpipe' is set to an empty string, no redirection of the | |
| 6185 ":make" output will be done. This is useful if you use a 'makeprg' | |
| 6186 that writes to 'makeef' by itself. If you want no piping, but do | |
| 6187 want to include the 'makeef', set 'shellpipe' to a single space. | |
| 6188 Don't forget to precede the space with a backslash: ":set sp=\ ". | |
| 6189 In the future pipes may be used for filtering and this option will | |
| 6190 become obsolete (at least for Unix). | |
| 6191 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for | |
| 6192 security reasons. | |
| 6193 | |
| 6194 *'shellquote'* *'shq'* | |
| 6195 'shellquote' 'shq' string (default: ""; MS-DOS and Win32, when 'shell' | |
| 6196 contains "sh" somewhere: "\"") | |
| 6197 global | |
| 6198 {not in Vi} | |
| 6199 Quoting character(s), put around the command passed to the shell, for | |
| 6200 the "!" and ":!" commands. The redirection is kept outside of the | |
| 6201 quoting. See 'shellxquote' to include the redirection. It's | |
| 6202 probably not useful to set both options. | |
| 6203 This is an empty string by default. Only known to be useful for | |
| 6204 third-party shells on MS-DOS-like systems, such as the MKS Korn Shell | |
| 6205 or bash, where it should be "\"". The default is adjusted according | |
| 6206 the value of 'shell', to reduce the need to set this option by the | |
| 6207 user. See |dos-shell|. | |
| 6208 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for | |
| 6209 security reasons. | |
| 6210 | |
| 6211 *'shellredir'* *'srr'* | |
| 6212 'shellredir' 'srr' string (default ">", ">&" or ">%s 2>&1") | |
| 6213 global | |
| 6214 {not in Vi} | |
| 6215 String to be used to put the output of a filter command in a temporary | |
| 6216 file. See also |:!|. See |option-backslash| about including spaces | |
| 6217 and backslashes. | |
| 6218 The name of the temporary file can be represented by "%s" if necessary | |
| 6219 (the file name is appended automatically if no %s appears in the value | |
| 6220 of this option). | |
| 6221 The default is ">". For Unix, if the 'shell' option is "csh", "tcsh" | |
| 6222 or "zsh" during initializations, the default becomes ">&". If the | |
| 6223 'shell' option is "sh", "ksh" or "bash" the default becomes | |
| 6224 ">%s 2>&1". This means that stderr is also included. | |
| 6225 For Win32, the Unix checks are done and additionally "cmd" is checked | |
| 6226 for, which makes the default ">%s 2>&1". Also, the same names with | |
| 6227 ".exe" appended are checked for. | |
| 6228 The initialization of this option is done after reading the ".vimrc" | |
| 6229 and the other initializations, so that when the 'shell' option is set | |
| 6230 there, the 'shellredir' option changes automatically unless it was | |
| 6231 explicitly set before. | |
| 6232 In the future pipes may be used for filtering and this option will | |
| 6233 become obsolete (at least for Unix). | |
| 6234 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for | |
| 6235 security reasons. | |
| 6236 | |
| 6237 *'shellslash'* *'ssl'* *'noshellslash'* *'nossl'* | |
| 6238 'shellslash' 'ssl' boolean (default off) | |
| 6239 global | |
| 6240 {not in Vi} {only for MSDOS, MS-Windows and OS/2} | |
| 6241 When set, a forward slash is used when expanding file names. This is | |
| 6242 useful when a Unix-like shell is used instead of command.com or | |
| 6243 cmd.exe. Backward slashes can still be typed, but they are changed to | |
| 6244 forward slashes by Vim. | |
| 6245 Note that setting or resetting this option has no effect for some | |
| 6246 existing file names, thus this option needs to be set before opening | |
| 6247 any file for best results. This might change in the future. | |
| 6248 'shellslash' only works when a backslash can be used as a path | |
| 6249 separator. To test if this is so use: > | |
| 6250 if exists('+shellslash') | |
| 6251 < | |
| 168 | 6252 *'shelltemp'* *'stmp'* *'noshelltemp'* *'nostmp'* |
| 6253 'shelltemp' 'stmp' boolean (Vi default off, Vim default on) | |
| 6254 global | |
| 6255 {not in Vi} | |
| 6256 When on, use temp files for shell commands. When off use a pipe. | |
| 6257 When using a pipe is not possible temp files are used anyway. | |
| 2965 | 6258 Currently a pipe is only supported on Unix and MS-Windows 2K and |
| 6259 later. You can check it with: > | |
| 168 | 6260 :if has("filterpipe") |
| 6261 < The advantage of using a pipe is that nobody can read the temp file | |
| 6262 and the 'shell' command does not need to support redirection. | |
| 6263 The advantage of using a temp file is that the file type and encoding | |
| 6264 can be detected. | |
| 6265 The |FilterReadPre|, |FilterReadPost| and |FilterWritePre|, | |
| 6266 |FilterWritePost| autocommands event are not triggered when | |
| 6267 'shelltemp' is off. | |
| 6268 | |
| 7 | 6269 *'shelltype'* *'st'* |
| 6270 'shelltype' 'st' number (default 0) | |
| 6271 global | |
| 6272 {not in Vi} {only for the Amiga} | |
| 6273 On the Amiga this option influences the way how the commands work | |
| 6274 which use a shell. | |
| 6275 0 and 1: always use the shell | |
| 6276 2 and 3: use the shell only to filter lines | |
| 6277 4 and 5: use shell only for ':sh' command | |
| 6278 When not using the shell, the command is executed directly. | |
| 6279 | |
| 6280 0 and 2: use "shell 'shellcmdflag' cmd" to start external commands | |
| 6281 1 and 3: use "shell cmd" to start external commands | |
| 6282 | |
| 3371 | 6283 *'shellxescape'* *'sxe'* |
| 6284 'shellxescape' 'sxe' string (default: ""; | |
| 6285 for MS-DOS and MS-Windows: "\"&|<>()@^") | |
| 6286 global | |
| 6287 {not in Vi} | |
| 6288 When 'shellxquote' is set to "(" then the characters listed in this | |
| 6289 option will be escaped with a '^' character. This makes it possible | |
| 6290 to execute most external commands with cmd.exe. | |
| 6291 | |
| 7 | 6292 *'shellxquote'* *'sxq'* |
| 6293 'shellxquote' 'sxq' string (default: ""; | |
| 3359 | 6294 for Win32, when 'shell' is cmd.exe: "(" |
| 6295 for Win32, when 'shell' contains "sh" | |
| 6296 somewhere: "\"" | |
| 7 | 6297 for Unix, when using system(): "\"") |
| 6298 global | |
| 6299 {not in Vi} | |
| 6300 Quoting character(s), put around the command passed to the shell, for | |
| 6301 the "!" and ":!" commands. Includes the redirection. See | |
| 6302 'shellquote' to exclude the redirection. It's probably not useful | |
| 6303 to set both options. | |
| 3359 | 6304 When the value is '(' then ')' is appended. When the value is '"(' |
| 6305 then ')"' is appended. | |
| 6306 When the value is '(' then also see 'shellxescape'. | |
| 3352 | 6307 This is an empty string by default on most systems, but is known to be |
| 6308 useful for on Win32 version, either for cmd.exe which automatically | |
| 6309 strips off the first and last quote on a command, or 3rd-party shells | |
| 6310 such as the MKS Korn Shell or bash, where it should be "\"". The | |
| 6311 default is adjusted according the value of 'shell', to reduce the need | |
| 6312 to set this option by the user. See |dos-shell|. | |
| 7 | 6313 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for |
| 6314 security reasons. | |
| 6315 | |
| 6316 *'shiftround'* *'sr'* *'noshiftround'* *'nosr'* | |
| 6317 'shiftround' 'sr' boolean (default off) | |
| 6318 global | |
| 6319 {not in Vi} | |
| 6320 Round indent to multiple of 'shiftwidth'. Applies to > and < | |
| 6321 commands. CTRL-T and CTRL-D in Insert mode always round the indent to | |
| 6322 a multiple of 'shiftwidth' (this is Vi compatible). | |
| 6323 NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. | |
| 6324 | |
| 6325 *'shiftwidth'* *'sw'* | |
| 6326 'shiftwidth' 'sw' number (default 8) | |
| 6327 local to buffer | |
| 10 | 6328 Number of spaces to use for each step of (auto)indent. Used for |
| 7 | 6329 |'cindent'|, |>>|, |<<|, etc. |
| 3893 | 6330 When zero the 'ts' value will be used. Use the |shiftwidth()| |
| 6331 function to get the effective shiftwidth value. | |
| 7 | 6332 |
| 6333 *'shortmess'* *'shm'* | |
| 168 | 6334 'shortmess' 'shm' string (Vim default "filnxtToO", Vi default: "", |
| 6335 POSIX default: "A") | |
| 7 | 6336 global |
| 6337 {not in Vi} | |
| 6338 This option helps to avoid all the |hit-enter| prompts caused by file | |
| 6339 messages, for example with CTRL-G, and to avoid some other messages. | |
| 6340 It is a list of flags: | |
| 6341 flag meaning when present ~ | |
| 6342 f use "(3 of 5)" instead of "(file 3 of 5)" | |
| 6343 i use "[noeol]" instead of "[Incomplete last line]" | |
| 6344 l use "999L, 888C" instead of "999 lines, 888 characters" | |
| 6345 m use "[+]" instead of "[Modified]" | |
| 6346 n use "[New]" instead of "[New File]" | |
| 6347 r use "[RO]" instead of "[readonly]" | |
| 6348 w use "[w]" instead of "written" for file write message | |
| 6349 and "[a]" instead of "appended" for ':w >> file' command | |
| 6350 x use "[dos]" instead of "[dos format]", "[unix]" instead of | |
| 6351 "[unix format]" and "[mac]" instead of "[mac format]". | |
| 6352 a all of the above abbreviations | |
| 6353 | |
| 6354 o overwrite message for writing a file with subsequent message | |
| 6355 for reading a file (useful for ":wn" or when 'autowrite' on) | |
| 6356 O message for reading a file overwrites any previous message. | |
| 6357 Also for quickfix message (e.g., ":cn"). | |
| 6358 s don't give "search hit BOTTOM, continuing at TOP" or "search | |
| 6359 hit TOP, continuing at BOTTOM" messages | |
| 6360 t truncate file message at the start if it is too long to fit | |
| 6361 on the command-line, "<" will appear in the left most column. | |
| 6362 Ignored in Ex mode. | |
| 6363 T truncate other messages in the middle if they are too long to | |
| 233 | 6364 fit on the command line. "..." will appear in the middle. |
| 7 | 6365 Ignored in Ex mode. |
| 6366 W don't give "written" or "[w]" when writing a file | |
| 6367 A don't give the "ATTENTION" message when an existing swap file | |
| 6368 is found. | |
| 6369 I don't give the intro message when starting Vim |:intro|. | |
| 5946 | 6370 c don't give |ins-completion-menu| messages. For example, |
| 6371 "-- XXX completion (YYY)", "match 1 of 2", "The only match", | |
| 6372 "Pattern not found", "Back at original", etc. | |
| 7 | 6373 |
| 6374 This gives you the opportunity to avoid that a change between buffers | |
| 6375 requires you to hit <Enter>, but still gives as useful a message as | |
| 6376 possible for the space available. To get the whole message that you | |
| 6377 would have got with 'shm' empty, use ":file!" | |
| 6378 Useful values: | |
| 6379 shm= No abbreviation of message. | |
| 6380 shm=a Abbreviation, but no loss of information. | |
| 6381 shm=at Abbreviation, and truncate message when necessary. | |
| 6382 | |
| 6383 NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is | |
| 6384 set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. | |
| 6385 | |
| 6386 *'shortname'* *'sn'* *'noshortname'* *'nosn'* | |
| 6387 'shortname' 'sn' boolean (default off) | |
| 6388 local to buffer | |
| 6389 {not in Vi, not in MS-DOS versions} | |
| 6390 Filenames are assumed to be 8 characters plus one extension of 3 | |
| 6391 characters. Multiple dots in file names are not allowed. When this | |
| 6392 option is on, dots in file names are replaced with underscores when | |
| 6393 adding an extension (".~" or ".swp"). This option is not available | |
| 6394 for MS-DOS, because then it would always be on. This option is useful | |
| 6395 when editing files on an MS-DOS compatible filesystem, e.g., messydos | |
| 6396 or crossdos. When running the Win32 GUI version under Win32s, this | |
| 6397 option is always on by default. | |
| 6398 | |
| 6399 *'showbreak'* *'sbr'* *E595* | |
| 6400 'showbreak' 'sbr' string (default "") | |
| 6401 global | |

| 6439 *'showfulltag'* *'sft'* *'noshowfulltag'* *'nosft'* | |
| 6440 'showfulltag' 'sft' boolean (default off) | |
| 6441 global | |
| 6442 {not in Vi} | |
| 6443 When completing a word in insert mode (see |ins-completion|) from the | |
| 6444 tags file, show both the tag name and a tidied-up form of the search | |
| 10 | 6445 pattern (if there is one) as possible matches. Thus, if you have |
| 7 | 6446 matched a C function, you can see a template for what arguments are |
| 6447 required (coding style permitting). | |
| 1621 | 6448 Note that this doesn't work well together with having "longest" in |
| 6449 'completeopt', because the completion from the search pattern may not | |
| 6450 match the typed text. | |
| 7 | 6451 |
| 6452 *'showmatch'* *'sm'* *'noshowmatch'* *'nosm'* | |
| 6453 'showmatch' 'sm' boolean (default off) | |
| 6454 global | |
| 6455 When a bracket is inserted, briefly jump to the matching one. The | |
| 6456 jump is only done if the match can be seen on the screen. The time to | |
| 6457 show the match can be set with 'matchtime'. | |
| 6458 A Beep is given if there is no match (no matter if the match can be | |
| 6459 seen or not). This option is reset when the 'paste' option is set. | |
| 6460 When the 'm' flag is not included in 'cpoptions', typing a character | |
| 6461 will immediately move the cursor back to where it belongs. | |
| 6462 See the "sm" field in 'guicursor' for setting the cursor shape and | |
| 6463 blinking when showing the match. | |
| 6464 The 'matchpairs' option can be used to specify the characters to show | |
| 6465 matches for. 'rightleft' and 'revins' are used to look for opposite | |
| 6466 matches. | |
| 699 | 6467 Also see the matchparen plugin for highlighting the match when moving |
| 6468 around |pi_paren.txt|. | |
| 6469 Note: Use of the short form is rated PG. | |

| 6476 this message. | |

| 6489 The value of this option specifies when the line with tab page labels | |
| 6490 will be displayed: | |
| 6491 0: never | |
| 6492 1: only if there are at least two tab pages | |
| 6493 2: always | |

| 6496 See |tab-page| for more information about tab pages. | |

| 7 | 6498 *'sidescroll'* *'ss'* |
| 6499 'sidescroll' 'ss' number (default 0) | |
| 6500 global | |
| 6501 {not in Vi} | |
| 6502 The minimal number of columns to scroll horizontally. Used only when | |
| 6503 the 'wrap' option is off and the cursor is moved off of the screen. | |
| 6504 When it is zero the cursor will be put in the middle of the screen. | |
| 6505 When using a slow terminal set it to a large number or 0. When using | |
| 6506 a fast terminal use a small number or 1. Not used for "zh" and "zl" | |
| 6507 commands. | |
| 6508 | |
| 6509 *'sidescrolloff'* *'siso'* | |
| 6510 'sidescrolloff' 'siso' number (default 0) | |
| 6511 global | |
| 6512 {not in Vi} | |
| 6513 The minimal number of screen columns to keep to the left and to the | |
| 534 | 6514 right of the cursor if 'nowrap' is set. Setting this option to a |
| 6515 value greater than 0 while having |'sidescroll'| also at a non-zero | |
| 6516 value makes some context visible in the line you are scrolling in | |
| 6517 horizontally (except at beginning of the line). Setting this option | |
| 6518 to a large value (like 999) has the effect of keeping the cursor | |
| 6519 horizontally centered in the window, as long as one does not come too | |
| 6520 close to the beginning of the line. | |
| 7 | 6521 NOTE: This option is set to 0 when 'compatible' is set. |
| 6522 | |
| 6523 Example: Try this together with 'sidescroll' and 'listchars' as | |
| 6524 in the following example to never allow the cursor to move | |
| 6525 onto the "extends" character: | |
| 6526 | |

| 6532 'smartcase' 'scs' boolean (default off) | |
| 6533 global | |
| 6534 {not in Vi} | |
| 6535 Override the 'ignorecase' option if the search pattern contains upper | |
| 6536 case characters. Only used when the search pattern is typed and | |
| 6537 'ignorecase' option is on. Used for the commands "/", "?", "n", "N", | |
| 3557 | 6538 ":g" and ":s". Not used for "*", "#", "gd", tag search, etc. After |
| 7 | 6539 "*" and "#" you can make 'smartcase' used by doing a "/" command, |
| 6540 recalling the search pattern from history and hitting <Enter>. | |
| 6541 NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. | |
| 6542 | |
| 6543 *'smartindent'* *'si'* *'nosmartindent'* *'nosi'* | |
| 6544 'smartindent' 'si' boolean (default off) | |
| 6545 local to buffer | |
| 6546 {not in Vi} | |
| 6547 {not available when compiled without the | |
| 6548 |+smartindent| feature} | |
| 6549 Do smart autoindenting when starting a new line. Works for C-like | |
| 6550 programs, but can also be used for other languages. 'cindent' does | |
| 6551 something like this, works better in most cases, but is more strict, | |
| 2662 | 6552 see |C-indenting|. When 'cindent' is on or 'indentexpr' is set, |
| 2642 | 6553 setting 'si' has no effect. 'indentexpr' is a more advanced |
| 6554 alternative. | |
| 7 | 6555 Normally 'autoindent' should also be on when using 'smartindent'. |
| 6556 An indent is automatically inserted: | |
| 6557 - After a line ending in '{'. | |
| 6558 - After a line starting with a keyword from 'cinwords'. | |
| 6559 - Before a line starting with '}' (only with the "O" command). | |
| 6560 When typing '}' as the first character in a new line, that line is | |
| 6561 given the same indent as the matching '{'. | |
| 6562 When typing '#' as the first character in a new line, the indent for | |
| 6563 that line is removed, the '#' is put in the first column. The indent | |
| 10 | 6564 is restored for the next line. If you don't want this, use this |
| 7 | 6565 mapping: ":inoremap # X^H#", where ^H is entered with CTRL-V CTRL-H. |
| 6566 When using the ">>" command, lines starting with '#' are not shifted | |
| 6567 right. | |
| 10 | 6568 NOTE: 'smartindent' is reset when 'compatible' is set. When 'paste' |
| 7 | 6569 is set smart indenting is disabled. |
| 6570 | |
| 6571 *'smarttab'* *'sta'* *'nosmarttab'* *'nosta'* | |
| 6572 'smarttab' 'sta' boolean (default off) | |
| 6573 global | |
| 6574 {not in Vi} | |
| 6575 When on, a <Tab> in front of a line inserts blanks according to | |
| 648 | 6576 'shiftwidth'. 'tabstop' or 'softtabstop' is used in other places. A |
| 6577 <BS> will delete a 'shiftwidth' worth of space at the start of the | |
| 6578 line. | |
| 650 | 6579 When off, a <Tab> always inserts blanks according to 'tabstop' or |
| 648 | 6580 'softtabstop'. 'shiftwidth' is only used for shifting text left or |
| 6581 right |shift-left-right|. | |
| 1263 | 6582 What gets inserted (a <Tab> or spaces) depends on the 'expandtab' |
| 7 | 6583 option. Also see |ins-expandtab|. When 'expandtab' is not set, the |
| 11 | 6584 number of spaces is minimized by using <Tab>s. |
| 7 | 6585 NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. |
| 6586 | |
| 6587 *'softtabstop'* *'sts'* | |
| 6588 'softtabstop' 'sts' number (default 0) | |
| 6589 local to buffer | |
| 6590 {not in Vi} | |
| 6591 Number of spaces that a <Tab> counts for while performing editing | |
| 6592 operations, like inserting a <Tab> or using <BS>. It "feels" like | |
| 6593 <Tab>s are being inserted, while in fact a mix of spaces and <Tab>s is | |
| 6594 used. This is useful to keep the 'ts' setting at its standard value | |
| 6595 of 8, while being able to edit like it is set to 'sts'. However, | |
| 6596 commands like "x" still work on the actual characters. | |
| 6597 When 'sts' is zero, this feature is off. | |
| 3893 | 6598 When 'sts' is negative, the value of 'shiftwidth' is used. |
| 7 | 6599 'softtabstop' is set to 0 when the 'paste' option is set. |
| 6600 See also |ins-expandtab|. When 'expandtab' is not set, the number of | |
| 6601 spaces is minimized by using <Tab>s. | |
| 6602 The 'L' flag in 'cpoptions' changes how tabs are used when 'list' is | |
| 6603 set. | |
| 6604 NOTE: This option is set to 0 when 'compatible' is set. | |
| 6605 | |
| 221 | 6606 *'spell'* *'nospell'* |

| 6609 {not in Vi} | |
| 6610 {not available when compiled without the |+syntax| | |
| 6611 feature} | |
| 6612 When on spell checking will be done. See |spell|. | |
| 236 | 6613 The languages are specified with 'spelllang'. |
| 221 | 6614 |
| 386 | 6615 *'spellcapcheck'* *'spc'* |

| 386 | 6617 local to buffer |
| 6618 {not in Vi} | |
| 6619 {not available when compiled without the |+syntax| | |
| 6620 feature} | |
| 6621 Pattern to locate the end of a sentence. The following word will be | |
| 6622 checked to start with a capital letter. If not then it is highlighted | |
| 484 | 6623 with SpellCap |hl-SpellCap| (unless the word is also badly spelled). |
| 386 | 6624 When this check is not wanted make this option empty. |
| 6625 Only used when 'spell' is set. | |
| 389 | 6626 Be careful with special characters, see |option-backslash| about |
| 6627 including spaces and backslashes. | |
| 480 | 6628 To set this option automatically depending on the language, see |
| 6629 |set-spc-auto|. | |
| 386 | 6630 |
| 314 | 6631 *'spellfile'* *'spf'* |
| 6632 'spellfile' 'spf' string (default empty) | |
| 6633 local to buffer | |
| 6634 {not in Vi} | |
| 6635 {not available when compiled without the |+syntax| | |
| 6636 feature} | |
| 6637 Name of the word list file where words are added for the |zg| and |zw| | |
| 401 | 6638 commands. It must end in ".{encoding}.add". You need to include the |
| 6639 path, otherwise the file is placed in the current directory. | |
| 386 | 6640 *E765* |
| 6641 It may also be a comma separated list of names. A count before the | |
| 6642 |zg| and |zw| commands can be used to access each. This allows using | |
| 6643 a personal word list file and a project word list file. | |
| 314 | 6644 When a word is added while this option is empty Vim will set it for |
| 819 | 6645 you: Using the first directory in 'runtimepath' that is writable. If |
| 6646 there is no "spell" directory yet it will be created. For the file | |
| 6647 name the first language name that appears in 'spelllang' is used, | |
| 353 | 6648 ignoring the region. |
| 6649 The resulting ".spl" file will be used for spell checking, it does not | |
| 6650 have to appear in 'spelllang'. | |
| 6651 Normally one file is used for all regions, but you can add the region | |
| 6652 name if you want to. However, it will then only be used when | |
| 6653 'spellfile' is set to it, for entries in 'spelllang' only files | |
| 6654 without region name will be found. | |
| 336 | 6655 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for |
| 6656 security reasons. | |
| 314 | 6657 |
| 221 | 6658 *'spelllang'* *'spl'* |
| 314 | 6659 'spelllang' 'spl' string (default "en") |
| 221 | 6660 local to buffer |
| 6661 {not in Vi} | |
| 6662 {not available when compiled without the |+syntax| | |
| 6663 feature} | |
| 353 | 6664 A comma separated list of word list names. When the 'spell' option is |
| 6665 on spellchecking will be done for these languages. Example: > | |
| 6666 set spelllang=en_us,nl,medical | |
| 6667 < This means US English, Dutch and medical words are recognized. Words | |
| 6668 that are not recognized will be highlighted. | |
| 6669 The word list name must not include a comma or dot. Using a dash is | |
| 6670 recommended to separate the two letter language name from a | |
| 6671 specification. Thus "en-rare" is used for rare English words. | |
| 6672 A region name must come last and have the form "_xx", where "xx" is | |
| 6673 the two-letter, lower case region name. You can use more than one | |
| 6674 region by listing them: "en_us,en_ca" supports both US and Canadian | |
| 6675 English, but not words specific for Australia, New Zealand or Great | |
| 6676 Britain. | |
| 5477 | 6677 If the name "cjk" is included East Asian characters are excluded from |
| 6678 spell checking. This is useful when editing text that also has Asian | |
| 6679 words. | |
| 484 | 6680 *E757* |
| 419 | 6681 As a special case the name of a .spl file can be given as-is. The |
| 6682 first "_xx" in the name is removed and used as the region name | |
| 6683 (_xx is an underscore, two letters and followed by a non-letter). | |
| 6684 This is mainly for testing purposes. You must make sure the correct | |
| 6685 encoding is used, Vim doesn't check it. | |
| 236 | 6686 When 'encoding' is set the word lists are reloaded. Thus it's a good |
| 419 | 6687 idea to set 'spelllang' after setting 'encoding' to avoid loading the |
| 6688 files twice. | |
| 353 | 6689 How the related spell files are found is explained here: |spell-load|. |
| 221 | 6690 |
| 653 | 6691 If the |spellfile.vim| plugin is active and you use a language name |
| 6692 for which Vim cannot find the .spl file in 'runtimepath' the plugin | |
| 6693 will ask you if you want to download the file. | |
| 6694 | |
| 480 | 6695 After this option has been set successfully, Vim will source the files |
| 6696 "spell/LANG.vim" in 'runtimepath'. "LANG" is the value of 'spelllang' | |
| 650 | 6697 up to the first comma, dot or underscore. |
| 6698 Also see |set-spc-auto|. | |

| 344 | 6701 *'spellsuggest'* *'sps'* |
| 6702 'spellsuggest' 'sps' string (default "best") | |
| 6703 global | |
| 6704 {not in Vi} | |
| 6705 {not available when compiled without the |+syntax| | |
| 6706 feature} | |
| 593 | 6707 Methods used for spelling suggestions. Both for the |z=| command and |
| 374 | 6708 the |spellsuggest()| function. This is a comma-separated list of |
| 6709 items: | |
| 6710 | |
| 6711 best Internal method that works best for English. Finds | |
| 6712 changes like "fast" and uses a bit of sound-a-like | |
| 6713 scoring to improve the ordering. | |
| 6714 | |
| 6715 double Internal method that uses two methods and mixes the | |
| 6716 results. The first method is "fast", the other method | |
| 344 | 6717 computes how much the suggestion sounds like the bad |
| 374 | 6718 word. That only works when the language specifies |
| 6719 sound folding. Can be slow and doesn't always give | |
| 6720 better results. | |
| 6721 | |
| 6722 fast Internal method that only checks for simple changes: | |
| 6723 character inserts/deletes/swaps. Works well for | |
| 6724 simple typing mistakes. | |
| 6725 | |
| 593 | 6726 {number} The maximum number of suggestions listed for |z=|. |
| 484 | 6727 Not used for |spellsuggest()|. The number of |
| 6728 suggestions is never more than the value of 'lines' | |
| 6729 minus two. | |
| 6730 | |
| 374 | 6731 file:{filename} Read file {filename}, which must have two columns, |
| 6732 separated by a slash. The first column contains the | |
| 6733 bad word, the second column the suggested good word. | |
| 6734 Example: | |
| 6735 theribal/terrible ~ | |
| 6736 Use this for common mistakes that do not appear at the | |
| 6737 top of the suggestion list with the internal methods. | |
| 6738 Lines without a slash are ignored, use this for | |
| 6739 comments. | |
| 5862 | 6740 The word in the second column must be correct, |
| 6741 otherwise it will not be used. Add the word to an | |
| 6742 ".add" file if it is currently flagged as a spelling | |
| 6743 mistake. | |
| 374 | 6744 The file is used for all languages. |
| 6745 | |
| 6746 expr:{expr} Evaluate expression {expr}. Use a function to avoid | |
| 6747 trouble with spaces. |v:val| holds the badly spelled | |
| 6748 word. The expression must evaluate to a List of | |
| 6749 Lists, each with a suggestion and a score. | |
| 6750 Example: | |
| 6751 [['the', 33], ['that', 44]] | |
| 593 | 6752 Set 'verbose' and use |z=| to see the scores that the |
| 374 | 6753 internal methods use. A lower score is better. |
| 6754 This may invoke |spellsuggest()| if you temporarily | |
| 6755 set 'spellsuggest' to exclude the "expr:" part. | |
| 6756 Errors are silently ignored, unless you set the | |
| 6757 'verbose' option to a non-zero value. | |
| 6758 | |
| 6759 Only one of "best", "double" or "fast" may be used. The others may | |

| 6762 < | |

| 6789 When "on" the commands listed below move the cursor to the first | |
| 11 | 6790 non-blank of the line. When off the cursor is kept in the same column |
| 10 | 6791 (if possible). This applies to the commands: CTRL-D, CTRL-U, CTRL-B, |
| 11 | 6792 CTRL-F, "G", "H", "M", "L", gg, and to the commands "d", "<<" and ">>" |
| 7 | 6793 with a linewise operator, with "%" with a count and to buffer changing |
| 6794 commands (CTRL-^, :bnext, :bNext, etc.). Also for an Ex command that | |
| 6795 only has a line number, e.g., ":25" or ":+". | |
| 6796 In case of buffer changing commands the cursor is placed at the column | |
| 6797 where it was the last time the buffer was edited. | |
| 6798 NOTE: This option is set when 'compatible' is set. | |
| 6799 | |
| 2709 | 6800 *'statusline'* *'stl'* *E540* *E542* |

| 7 | 6803 {not in Vi} |
| 6804 {not available when compiled without the |+statusline| | |
| 6805 feature} | |
| 6806 When nonempty, this option determines the content of the status line. | |
| 6807 Also see |status-line|. | |
| 6808 | |
| 6809 The option consists of printf style '%' items interspersed with | |
| 6810 normal text. Each status line item is of the form: | |
| 6811 %-0{minwid}.{maxwid}{item} | |
| 6812 All fields except the {item} is optional. A single percent sign can | |
| 2709 | 6813 be given as "%%". Up to 80 items can be specified. *E541* |
| 7 | 6814 |
| 680 | 6815 When the option starts with "%!" then it is used as an expression, |
| 6816 evaluated and the result is used as the option value. Example: > | |
| 6817 :set statusline=%!MyStatusLine() | |
| 6818 < The result can contain %{} items that will be evaluated too. | |
| 3445 | 6819 Note that the "%!" expression is evaluated in the context of the |
| 6820 current window and buffer, while %{} items are evaluated in the | |
| 6821 context of the window that the statusline belongs to. | |
| 680 | 6822 |
| 6823 When there is error while evaluating the option then it will be made | |
| 6824 empty to avoid further errors. Otherwise screen updating would loop. | |
| 6825 | |
| 7 | 6826 Note that the only effect of 'ruler' when this option is set (and |
| 6827 'laststatus' is 2) is controlling the output of |CTRL-G|. | |
| 6828 | |
| 6829 field meaning ~ | |
| 233 | 6830 - Left justify the item. The default is right justified |
| 7 | 6831 when minwid is larger than the length of the item. |
| 233 | 6832 0 Leading zeroes in numeric items. Overridden by '-'. |
| 7 | 6833 minwid Minimum width of the item, padding as set by '-' & '0'. |
| 6834 Value must be 50 or less. | |
| 10 | 6835 maxwid Maximum width of the item. Truncation occurs with a '<' |
| 7 | 6836 on the left for text items. Numeric items will be |
| 6837 shifted down to maxwid-2 digits followed by '>'number | |
| 6838 where number is the amount of missing digits, much like | |
| 6839 an exponential notation. | |
| 6840 item A one letter code as described below. | |
| 6841 | |
| 6842 Following is a description of the possible statusline items. The | |
| 6843 second character in "item" is the type: | |
| 6844 N for number | |
| 6845 S for string | |
| 6846 F for flags as described below | |
| 6847 - not applicable | |
| 6848 | |
| 6849 item meaning ~ | |
| 1152 | 6850 f S Path to the file in the buffer, as typed or relative to current |
| 6851 directory. | |
| 7 | 6852 F S Full path to the file in the buffer. |
| 6853 t S File name (tail) of file in the buffer. | |
| 1698 | 6854 m F Modified flag, text is "[+]"; "[-]" if 'modifiable' is off. |
| 7 | 6855 M F Modified flag, text is ",+" or ",-". |
| 1698 | 6856 r F Readonly flag, text is "[RO]". |
| 7 | 6857 R F Readonly flag, text is ",RO". |

| 233 | 6885 a S Argument list status as in default title. ({current} of {max}) |
| 7 | 6886 Empty if the argument file count is zero or one. |
| 680 | 6887 { NF Evaluate expression between '%{' and '}' and substitute result. |
| 625 | 6888 Note that there is no '%' before the closing '}'. |
| 7 | 6889 ( - Start of item group. Can be used for setting the width and |
| 6890 alignment of a section. Must be followed by %) somewhere. | |
| 6891 ) - End of item group. No width fields allowed. | |
| 681 | 6892 T N For 'tabline': start of tab page N label. Use %T after the last |
| 6893 label. This information is used for mouse clicks. | |
| 6894 X N For 'tabline': start of close tab N label. Use %X after the | |
| 6895 label, e.g.: %3Xclose%X. Use %999X for a "close current tab" | |
| 6896 mark. This information is used for mouse clicks. | |
| 7 | 6897 < - Where to truncate line if too long. Default is at the start. |
| 6898 No width fields allowed. | |
| 6899 = - Separation point between left and right aligned items. | |
| 6900 No width fields allowed. | |
| 680 | 6901 # - Set highlight group. The name must follow and then a # again. |
| 6902 Thus use %#HLname# for highlight group HLname. The same | |
| 6903 highlighting is used, also for the statusline of non-current | |
| 6904 windows. | |
| 7 | 6905 * - Set highlight group to User{N}, where {N} is taken from the |
| 233 | 6906 minwid field, e.g. %1*. Restore normal highlight with %* or %0*. |
| 7 | 6907 The difference between User{N} and StatusLine will be applied |
| 6908 to StatusLineNC for the statusline of non-current windows. | |
| 6909 The number N must be between 1 and 9. See |hl-User1..9| | |
| 6910 | |
| 1698 | 6911 When displaying a flag, Vim removes the leading comma, if any, when |
| 6912 that flag comes right after plaintext. This will make a nice display | |
| 6913 when flags are used like in the examples below. | |
| 7 | 6914 |
| 233 | 6915 When all items in a group becomes an empty string (i.e. flags that are |
| 7 | 6916 not set) and a minwid is not set for the group, the whole group will |
| 6917 become empty. This will make a group like the following disappear | |
| 6918 completely from the statusline when none of the flags are set. > | |
| 6919 :set statusline=...%(\ [%M%R%H]%)... | |
| 6920 < | |
| 6921 Beware that an expression is evaluated each and every time the status | |
| 6922 line is displayed. The current buffer and current window will be set | |
| 6923 temporarily to that of the window (and buffer) whose statusline is | |
| 233 | 6924 currently being drawn. The expression will evaluate in this context. |
| 7 | 6925 The variable "actual_curbuf" is set to the 'bufnr()' number of the |
| 634 | 6926 real current buffer. |
| 6927 | |
| 3682 | 6928 The 'statusline' option will be evaluated in the |sandbox| if set from |
| 6929 a modeline, see |sandbox-option|. | |
| 634 | 6930 |
| 6931 It is not allowed to change text or jump to another window while | |
| 6932 evaluating 'statusline' |textlock|. | |
| 7 | 6933 |
| 6934 If the statusline is not updated when you want it (e.g., after setting | |
| 6935 a variable that's used in an expression), you can force an update by | |
| 6936 setting an option without changing its value. Example: > | |
| 6937 :let &ro = &ro | |
| 6938 | |
| 6939 < A result of all digits is regarded a number for display purposes. | |
| 6940 Otherwise the result is taken as flag text and applied to the rules | |
| 6941 described above. | |
| 6942 | |
| 199 | 6943 Watch out for errors in expressions. They may render Vim unusable! |
| 7 | 6944 If you are stuck, hold down ':' or 'Q' to get a prompt, then quit and |
| 6945 edit your .vimrc or whatever with "vim -u NONE" to get it right. | |
| 6946 | |
| 6947 Examples: | |
| 6948 Emulate standard status line with 'ruler' set > | |
| 6949 :set statusline=%<%f\ %h%m%r%=%-14.(%l,%c%V%)\ %P | |
| 6950 < Similar, but add ASCII value of char under the cursor (like "ga") > | |
| 6951 :set statusline=%<%f%h%m%r%=%b\ 0x%B\ \ %l,%c%V\ %P | |
| 6952 < Display byte count and byte value, modified flag in red. > | |

| 6966 *'suffixes'* *'su'* | |
| 6967 'suffixes' 'su' string (default ".bak,~,.o,.h,.info,.swp,.obj") | |
| 6968 global | |
| 6969 {not in Vi} | |
| 6970 Files with these suffixes get a lower priority when multiple files | |
| 6971 match a wildcard. See |suffixes|. Commas can be used to separate the | |
| 10 | 6972 suffixes. Spaces after the comma are ignored. A dot is also seen as |
| 6973 the start of a suffix. To avoid a dot or comma being recognized as a | |
| 7 | 6974 separator, precede it with a backslash (see |option-backslash| about |
| 6975 including spaces and backslashes). | |
| 6976 See 'wildignore' for completely ignoring files. | |
| 6977 The use of |:set+=| and |:set-=| is preferred when adding or removing | |
| 6978 suffixes from the list. This avoids problems when a future version | |
| 6979 uses another default. | |
| 6980 | |
| 6981 *'suffixesadd'* *'sua'* | |

| 6983 local to buffer | |
| 6984 {not in Vi} | |
| 6985 {not available when compiled without the | |
| 6986 |+file_in_path| feature} | |
| 6987 Comma separated list of suffixes, which are used when searching for a | |
| 6988 file for the "gf", "[I", etc. commands. Example: > | |
| 6989 :set suffixesadd=.java | |
| 6990 < | |
| 6991 *'swapfile'* *'swf'* *'noswapfile'* *'noswf'* | |
| 6992 'swapfile' 'swf' boolean (default on) | |
| 6993 local to buffer | |
| 6994 {not in Vi} | |
| 10 | 6995 Use a swapfile for the buffer. This option can be reset when a |
| 7 | 6996 swapfile is not wanted for a specific buffer. For example, with |
| 6997 confidential information that even root must not be able to access. | |
| 6998 Careful: All text will be in memory: | |
| 6999 - Don't use this for big files. | |
| 7000 - Recovery will be impossible! | |
| 7001 A swapfile will only be present when |'updatecount'| is non-zero and | |
| 7002 'swapfile' is set. | |
| 7003 When 'swapfile' is reset, the swap file for the current buffer is | |
| 7004 immediately deleted. When 'swapfile' is set, and 'updatecount' is | |
| 7005 non-zero, a swap file is immediately created. | |
| 7006 Also see |swap-file| and |'swapsync'|. | |
| 5763 | 7007 If you want to open a new buffer without creating a swap file for it, |
| 7008 use the |:noswapfile| modifier. | |
| 7 | 7009 |
| 7010 This option is used together with 'bufhidden' and 'buftype' to | |
| 7011 specify special kinds of buffers. See |special-buffers|. | |
| 7012 | |
| 7013 *'swapsync'* *'sws'* | |
| 7014 'swapsync' 'sws' string (default "fsync") | |
| 7015 global | |
| 7016 {not in Vi} | |
| 7017 When this option is not empty a swap file is synced to disk after | |
| 10 | 7018 writing to it. This takes some time, especially on busy unix systems. |
| 7 | 7019 When this option is empty parts of the swap file may be in memory and |
| 7020 not written to disk. When the system crashes you may lose more work. | |
| 7021 On Unix the system does a sync now and then without Vim asking for it, | |
| 7022 so the disadvantage of setting this option off is small. On some | |
| 7023 systems the swap file will not be written at all. For a unix system | |
| 7024 setting it to "sync" will use the sync() call instead of the default | |
| 7025 fsync(), which may work better on some systems. | |
| 36 | 7026 The 'fsync' option is used for the actual file. |
| 7 | 7027 |
| 7028 *'switchbuf'* *'swb'* | |
| 7029 'switchbuf' 'swb' string (default "") | |
| 7030 global | |
| 7031 {not in Vi} | |
| 7032 This option controls the behavior when switching between buffers. | |
| 7033 Possible values (comma separated list): | |
| 7034 useopen If included, jump to the first open window that | |
| 7035 contains the specified buffer (if there is one). | |
| 7036 Otherwise: Do not examine other windows. | |
| 7037 This setting is checked with |quickfix| commands, when | |
| 7038 jumping to errors (":cc", ":cn", "cp", etc.). It is | |
| 7039 also used in all buffer related split commands, for | |
| 7040 example ":sbuffer", ":sbnext", or ":sbrewind". | |
| 825 | 7041 usetab Like "useopen", but also consider windows in other tab |
| 856 | 7042 pages. |
| 7 | 7043 split If included, split the current window before loading |
| 3153 | 7044 a buffer for a |quickfix| command that display errors. |
| 7045 Otherwise: do not split, use current window. | |
| 1621 | 7046 newtab Like "split", but open a new tab page. Overrules |

| 7056 text after this column is not highlighted and following lines may not | |
| 7057 be highlighted correctly, because the syntax state is cleared. | |
| 410 | 7058 This helps to avoid very slow redrawing for an XML file that is one |
| 7059 long line. | |
| 7060 Set to zero to remove the limit. | |

| 7 | 7062 *'syntax'* *'syn'* |

| 7066 {not available when compiled without the |+syntax| | |
| 7067 feature} | |
| 7068 When this option is set, the syntax with this name is loaded, unless | |
| 7069 syntax highlighting has been switched off with ":syntax off". | |
| 7070 Otherwise this option does not always reflect the current syntax (the | |
| 7071 b:current_syntax variable does). | |
| 7072 This option is most useful in a modeline, for a file which syntax is | |
| 782 | 7073 not automatically recognized. Example, in an IDL file: |
| 7074 /* vim: set syntax=idl : */ ~ | |
| 7075 When a dot appears in the value then this separates two filetype | |
| 7076 names. Example: | |
| 7077 /* vim: set syntax=c.doxygen : */ ~ | |
| 7078 This will use the "c" syntax first, then the "doxygen" syntax. | |
| 7079 Note that the second one must be prepared to be loaded as an addition, | |
| 7080 otherwise it will be skipped. More than one dot may appear. | |
| 7081 To switch off syntax highlighting for the current file, use: > | |
| 7 | 7082 :set syntax=OFF |
| 7083 < To switch syntax highlighting on according to the current value of the | |
| 7084 'filetype' option: > | |
| 7085 :set syntax=ON | |
| 7086 < What actually happens when setting the 'syntax' option is that the | |
| 7087 Syntax autocommand event is triggered with the value as argument. | |
| 7088 This option is not copied to another buffer, independent of the 's' or | |
| 7089 'S' flag in 'cpoptions'. | |
| 36 | 7090 Only normal file name characters can be used, "/\*?[|<>" are illegal. |
| 7 | 7091 |
| 699 | 7092 *'tabline'* *'tal'* |

| 699 | 7121 feature} |
| 7122 Maximum number of tab pages to be opened by the |-p| command line | |
| 7123 argument or the ":tab all" command. |tabpage| | |
| 7124 | |
| 7125 | |
| 7126 *'tabstop'* *'ts'* | |
| 7 | 7127 'tabstop' 'ts' number (default 8) |
| 7128 local to buffer | |
| 7129 Number of spaces that a <Tab> in the file counts for. Also see | |
| 7130 |:retab| command, and 'softtabstop' option. | |
| 7131 | |
| 7132 Note: Setting 'tabstop' to any other value than 8 can make your file | |
| 7133 appear wrong in many places (e.g., when printing it). | |
| 7134 | |
| 7135 There are four main ways to use tabs in Vim: | |
| 7136 1. Always keep 'tabstop' at 8, set 'softtabstop' and 'shiftwidth' to 4 | |
| 7137 (or 3 or whatever you prefer) and use 'noexpandtab'. Then Vim | |
| 1263 | 7138 will use a mix of tabs and spaces, but typing <Tab> and <BS> will |
| 7 | 7139 behave like a tab appears every 4 (or 3) characters. |
| 7140 2. Set 'tabstop' and 'shiftwidth' to whatever you prefer and use | |
| 7141 'expandtab'. This way you will always insert spaces. The | |
| 7142 formatting will never be messed up when 'tabstop' is changed. | |
| 7143 3. Set 'tabstop' and 'shiftwidth' to whatever you prefer and use a | |
| 10 | 7144 |modeline| to set these values when editing the file again. Only |
| 7 | 7145 works when using Vim to edit the file. |
| 7146 4. Always set 'tabstop' and 'shiftwidth' to the same value, and | |
| 7147 'noexpandtab'. This should then work (for initial indents only) | |
| 7148 for any tabstop setting that people use. It might be nice to have | |
| 7149 tabs after the first non-blank inserted as spaces if you do this | |
| 7150 though. Otherwise aligned comments will be wrong when 'tabstop' is | |
| 7151 changed. | |
| 7152 | |
| 7153 *'tagbsearch'* *'tbs'* *'notagbsearch'* *'notbs'* | |
| 7154 'tagbsearch' 'tbs' boolean (default on) | |
| 7155 global | |
| 7156 {not in Vi} | |
| 7157 When searching for a tag (e.g., for the |:ta| command), Vim can either | |
| 10 | 7158 use a binary search or a linear search in a tags file. Binary |
| 7 | 7159 searching makes searching for a tag a LOT faster, but a linear search |
| 7160 will find more tags if the tags file wasn't properly sorted. | |
| 7161 Vim normally assumes that your tags files are sorted, or indicate that | |
| 7162 they are not sorted. Only when this is not the case does the | |
| 7163 'tagbsearch' option need to be switched off. | |
| 7164 | |
| 7165 When 'tagbsearch' is on, binary searching is first used in the tags | |
| 10 | 7166 files. In certain situations, Vim will do a linear search instead for |
| 7 | 7167 certain files, or retry all files with a linear search. When |
| 7168 'tagbsearch' is off, only a linear search is done. | |
| 7169 | |
| 7170 Linear searching is done anyway, for one file, when Vim finds a line | |
| 7171 at the start of the file indicating that it's not sorted: > | |
| 1621 | 7172 !_TAG_FILE_SORTED 0 /some comment/ |
| 7 | 7173 < [The whitespace before and after the '0' must be a single <Tab>] |
| 7174 | |
| 7175 When a binary search was done and no match was found in any of the | |
| 7176 files listed in 'tags', and 'ignorecase' is set or a pattern is used | |
| 7177 instead of a normal tag name, a retry is done with a linear search. | |
| 7178 Tags in unsorted tags files, and matches with different case will only | |
| 7179 be found in the retry. | |
| 7180 | |
| 22 | 7181 If a tag file indicates that it is case-fold sorted, the second, |
| 7 | 7182 linear search can be avoided for the 'ignorecase' case. Use a value |
| 7183 of '2' in the "!_TAG_FILE_SORTED" line for this. A tag file can be | |
| 7184 case-fold sorted with the -f switch to "sort" in most unices, as in | |
| 7185 the command: "sort -f -o tags tags". For "Exuberant ctags" version | |

| 7 | 7189 |
| 7190 When 'tagbsearch' is off, tags searching is slower when a full match | |
| 7191 exists, but faster when no full match exists. Tags in unsorted tags | |
| 7192 files may only be found with 'tagbsearch' off. | |
| 7193 When the tags file is not sorted, or sorted in a wrong way (not on | |
| 7194 ASCII byte value), 'tagbsearch' should be off, or the line given above | |
| 7195 must be included in the tags file. | |
| 7196 This option doesn't affect commands that find all matching tags (e.g., | |
| 7197 command-line completion and ":help"). | |

7230 |+path_extra| feature} |
| 515 | 7231 The |tagfiles()| function can be used to get a list of the file names |
| 7232 actually used. | |
| 7 | 7233 If Vim was compiled with the |+emacs_tags| feature, Emacs-style tag |
| 7234 files are also supported. They are automatically recognized. The | |
| 7235 default value becomes "./tags,./TAGS,tags,TAGS", unless case | |
| 7236 differences are ignored (MS-Windows). |emacs-tags| | |
| 7237 The use of |:set+=| and |:set-=| is preferred when adding or removing | |
| 7238 file names from the list. This avoids problems when a future version | |
| 7239 uses another default. | |
| 7240 {Vi: default is "tags /usr/lib/tags"} | |
| 7241 | |
| 7242 *'tagstack'* *'tgst'* *'notagstack'* *'notgst'* | |
| 7243 'tagstack' 'tgst' boolean (default on) | |
| 7244 global | |
| 7245 {not in all versions of Vi} | |
| 7246 When on, the |tagstack| is used normally. When off, a ":tag" or | |
| 7247 ":tselect" command with an argument will not push the tag onto the | |
| 7248 tagstack. A following ":tag" without an argument, a ":pop" command or | |
| 7249 any other command that uses the tagstack will use the unmodified | |
| 7250 tagstack, but does change the pointer to the active entry. | |
| 7251 Resetting this option is useful when using a ":tag" command in a | |
| 7252 mapping which should not change the tagstack. | |
| 7253 | |
| 7254 *'term'* *E529* *E530* *E531* | |
| 7255 'term' string (default is $TERM, if that fails: | |
| 7256 in the GUI: "builtin_gui" | |
| 7257 on Amiga: "amiga" | |
| 7258 on BeOS: "beos-ansi" | |
| 7259 on Mac: "mac-ansi" | |
| 7260 on MiNT: "vt52" | |
| 7261 on MS-DOS: "pcterm" | |
| 7262 on OS/2: "os2ansi" | |
| 7263 on Unix: "ansi" | |
| 7264 on VMS: "ansi" | |
| 7265 on Win 32: "win32") | |
| 7266 global | |
| 7267 Name of the terminal. Used for choosing the terminal control | |
| 7268 characters. Environment variables are expanded |:set_env|. | |
| 7269 For example: > | |
| 7270 :set term=$TERM | |
| 7271 < See |termcap|. | |

| 7273 *'termbidi'* *'tbidi'* | |
| 7274 *'notermbidi'* *'notbidi'* | |
| 7275 'termbidi' 'tbidi' boolean (default off, on for "mlterm") | |
| 7276 global | |
| 7277 {not in Vi} | |
| 7278 {only available when compiled with the |+arabic| | |
| 7279 feature} | |
| 7280 The terminal is in charge of Bi-directionality of text (as specified | |
| 7281 by Unicode). The terminal is also expected to do the required shaping | |
| 7282 that some languages (such as Arabic) require. | |
| 7283 Setting this option implies that 'rightleft' will not be set when | |
| 7284 'arabic' is set and the value of 'arabicshape' will be ignored. | |
| 7285 Note that setting 'termbidi' has the immediate effect that | |
| 7286 'arabicshape' is ignored, but 'rightleft' isn't changed automatically. | |
| 7287 This option is reset when the GUI is started. | |
| 7288 For further details see |arabic.txt|. | |
| 7289 | |
| 7290 *'termencoding'* *'tenc'* | |
| 7291 'termencoding' 'tenc' string (default ""; with GTK+ 2 GUI: "utf-8"; with | |
| 7292 Macintosh GUI: "macroman") | |
| 7293 global | |
| 7294 {only available when compiled with the |+multi_byte| | |
| 7295 feature} | |
| 7296 {not in Vi} | |
| 7297 Encoding used for the terminal. This specifies what character | |
| 7298 encoding the keyboard produces and the display will understand. For | |
| 4186 | 7299 the GUI it only applies to the keyboard ( 'encoding' is used for the |
| 1152 | 7300 display). Except for the Mac when 'macatsui' is off, then |
| 7301 'termencoding' should be "macroman". | |
| 7 | 7302 In the Win32 console version the default value is the console codepage |
| 7303 when it differs from the ANSI codepage. | |
| 7304 *E617* | |
| 7305 Note: This does not apply to the GTK+ 2 GUI. After the GUI has been | |
| 7306 successfully initialized, 'termencoding' is forcibly set to "utf-8". | |
| 7307 Any attempts to set a different value will be rejected, and an error | |
| 7308 message is shown. | |
| 7309 For the Win32 GUI 'termencoding' is not used for typed characters, | |
| 7310 because the Win32 system always passes Unicode characters. | |
| 7311 When empty, the same encoding is used as for the 'encoding' option. | |
| 7312 This is the normal value. | |
| 7313 Not all combinations for 'termencoding' and 'encoding' are valid. See | |
| 7314 |encoding-table|. | |
| 7315 The value for this option must be supported by internal conversions or | |
| 7316 iconv(). When this is not possible no conversion will be done and you | |
| 7317 will probably experience problems with non-ASCII characters. | |
| 7318 Example: You are working with the locale set to euc-jp (Japanese) and | |
| 7319 want to edit a UTF-8 file: > | |
| 7320 :let &termencoding = &encoding | |
| 7321 :set encoding=utf-8 | |
| 7322 < You need to do this when your system has no locale support for UTF-8. | |
| 7323 | |
| 7324 *'terse'* *'noterse'* | |
| 7325 'terse' boolean (default off) | |
| 7326 global | |
| 7327 When set: Add 's' flag to 'shortmess' option (this makes the message | |
| 7328 for a search that hits the start or end of the file not being | |
| 7329 displayed). When reset: Remove 's' flag from 'shortmess' option. {Vi | |
| 7330 shortens a lot of messages} | |
| 7331 | |
| 7332 *'textauto'* *'ta'* *'notextauto'* *'nota'* | |
| 7333 'textauto' 'ta' boolean (Vim default: on, Vi default: off) | |
| 7334 global | |
| 7335 {not in Vi} | |
| 7336 This option is obsolete. Use 'fileformats'. | |
| 7337 For backwards compatibility, when 'textauto' is set, 'fileformats' is | |
| 7338 set to the default value for the current system. When 'textauto' is | |
| 7339 reset, 'fileformats' is made empty. | |
| 7340 NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is | |
| 7341 set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. | |
| 7342 | |
| 7343 *'textmode'* *'tx'* *'notextmode'* *'notx'* | |
| 7344 'textmode' 'tx' boolean (MS-DOS, Win32 and OS/2: default on, | |
| 7345 others: default off) | |
| 7346 local to buffer | |
| 7347 {not in Vi} | |
| 7348 This option is obsolete. Use 'fileformat'. | |
| 7349 For backwards compatibility, when 'textmode' is set, 'fileformat' is | |
| 7350 set to "dos". When 'textmode' is reset, 'fileformat' is set to | |
| 7351 "unix". | |
| 7352 | |
| 7353 *'textwidth'* *'tw'* | |
| 7354 'textwidth' 'tw' number (default 0) | |
| 7355 local to buffer | |
| 7356 {not in Vi} | |
| 7357 Maximum width of text that is being inserted. A longer line will be | |
| 7358 broken after white space to get this width. A zero value disables | |
| 10 | 7359 this. 'textwidth' is set to 0 when the 'paste' option is set. When |
| 7360 'textwidth' is zero, 'wrapmargin' may be used. See also | |
| 7 | 7361 'formatoptions' and |ins-textwidth|. |
| 838 | 7362 When 'formatexpr' is set it will be used to break the line. |
| 7 | 7363 NOTE: This option is set to 0 when 'compatible' is set. |

| 10 | 7376 To include a comma in a file name precede it with a backslash. Spaces |
| 7 | 7377 after a comma are ignored, otherwise spaces are included in the file |
| 7378 name. See |option-backslash| about using backslashes. | |
| 7379 The use of |:set+=| and |:set-=| is preferred when adding or removing | |
| 7380 directories from the list. This avoids problems when a future version | |
| 7381 uses another default. | |
| 7382 Backticks cannot be used in this option for security reasons. | |
| 7383 | |
| 7384 *'tildeop'* *'top'* *'notildeop'* *'notop'* | |
| 7385 'tildeop' 'top' boolean (default off) | |
| 7386 global | |
| 7387 {not in Vi} | |
| 7388 When on: The tilde command "~" behaves like an operator. | |
| 7389 NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. | |

| 7391 *'timeout'* *'to'* *'notimeout'* *'noto'* | |
| 7392 'timeout' 'to' boolean (default on) | |
| 7393 global | |
| 7394 *'ttimeout'* *'nottimeout'* | |
| 7395 'ttimeout' boolean (default off) | |
| 7396 global | |
| 7397 {not in Vi} | |
| 7398 These two options together determine the behavior when part of a | |
| 7399 mapped key sequence or keyboard code has been received: | |
| 7400 | |
| 7401 'timeout' 'ttimeout' action ~ | |
| 7402 off off do not time out | |
| 7403 on on or off time out on :mappings and key codes | |
| 7404 off on time out on key codes | |
| 7405 | |
| 7406 If both options are off, Vim will wait until either the complete | |
| 7407 mapping or key sequence has been received, or it is clear that there | |
| 7408 is no mapping or key sequence for the received characters. For | |
| 7409 example: if you have mapped "vl" and Vim has received 'v', the next | |
| 7410 character is needed to see if the 'v' is followed by an 'l'. | |
| 7411 When one of the options is on, Vim will wait for about 1 second for | |
| 7412 the next character to arrive. After that the already received | |
| 7413 characters are interpreted as single characters. The waiting time can | |
| 7414 be changed with the 'timeoutlen' option. | |
| 7415 On slow terminals or very busy systems timing out may cause | |
| 7416 malfunctioning cursor keys. If both options are off, Vim waits | |
| 7417 forever after an entered <Esc> if there are key codes that start | |
| 7418 with <Esc>. You will have to type <Esc> twice. If you do not have | |
| 7419 problems with key codes, but would like to have :mapped key | |
| 7420 sequences not timing out in 1 second, set the 'ttimeout' option and | |
| 7421 reset the 'timeout' option. | |
| 7422 | |
| 7423 NOTE: 'ttimeout' is reset when 'compatible' is set. | |
| 7424 | |
| 7425 *'timeoutlen'* *'tm'* | |
| 7426 'timeoutlen' 'tm' number (default 1000) | |
| 7427 global | |
| 7428 {not in all versions of Vi} | |
| 7429 *'ttimeoutlen'* *'ttm'* | |
| 7430 'ttimeoutlen' 'ttm' number (default -1) | |
| 7431 global | |
| 7432 {not in Vi} | |
| 7433 The time in milliseconds that is waited for a key code or mapped key | |
| 7434 sequence to complete. Also used for CTRL-\ CTRL-N and CTRL-\ CTRL-G | |
| 7435 when part of a command has been typed. | |
| 7436 Normally only 'timeoutlen' is used and 'ttimeoutlen' is -1. When a | |
| 7437 different timeout value for key codes is desired set 'ttimeoutlen' to | |
| 7438 a non-negative number. | |
| 7439 | |
| 7440 ttimeoutlen mapping delay key code delay ~ | |
| 7441 < 0 'timeoutlen' 'timeoutlen' | |
| 7442 >= 0 'timeoutlen' 'ttimeoutlen' | |
| 7443 | |
| 7444 The timeout only happens when the 'timeout' and 'ttimeout' options | |
| 7445 tell so. A useful setting would be > | |
| 7446 :set timeout timeoutlen=3000 ttimeoutlen=100 | |
| 7447 < (time out on mapping after three seconds, time out on key codes after | |
| 7448 a tenth of a second). | |
| 7449 | |
| 7450 *'title'* *'notitle'* | |
| 7451 'title' boolean (default off, on when title can be restored) | |
| 7452 global | |
| 7453 {not in Vi} | |
| 7454 {not available when compiled without the |+title| | |
| 7455 feature} | |
| 7456 When on, the title of the window will be set to the value of | |
| 7457 'titlestring' (if it is not empty), or to: | |
| 7458 filename [+=-] (path) - VIM | |
| 7459 Where: | |
| 7460 filename the name of the file being edited | |
| 7461 - indicates the file cannot be modified, 'ma' off | |
| 7462 + indicates the file was modified | |
| 7463 = indicates the file is read-only | |
| 7464 =+ indicates the file is read-only and modified | |
| 7465 (path) is the path of the file being edited | |
| 7466 - VIM the server name |v:servername| or "VIM" | |
| 7467 Only works if the terminal supports setting window titles | |
| 7468 (currently Amiga console, Win32 console, all GUI versions and | |
| 7469 terminals with a non- empty 't_ts' option - these are Unix xterm and | |
| 7470 iris-ansi by default, where 't_ts' is taken from the builtin termcap). | |
| 7471 *X11* | |
| 7472 When Vim was compiled with HAVE_X11 defined, the original title will | |
| 7473 be restored if possible. The output of ":version" will include "+X11" | |
| 7474 when HAVE_X11 was defined, otherwise it will be "-X11". This also | |
| 7475 works for the icon name |'icon'|. | |
| 7476 But: When Vim was started with the |-X| argument, restoring the title | |
| 7477 will not work (except in the GUI). | |
| 7478 If the title cannot be restored, it is set to the value of 'titleold'. | |
| 7479 You might want to restore the title outside of Vim then. | |
| 7480 When using an xterm from a remote machine you can use this command: | |
| 7481 rsh machine_name xterm -display $DISPLAY & | |
| 7482 then the WINDOWID environment variable should be inherited and the | |
| 7483 title of the window should change back to what it should be after | |
| 7484 exiting Vim. | |
| 7485 | |
| 7486 *'titlelen'* | |
| 7487 'titlelen' number (default 85) | |
| 7488 global | |
| 7489 {not in Vi} | |
| 7490 {not available when compiled without the |+title| | |
| 7491 feature} | |
| 7492 Gives the percentage of 'columns' to use for the length of the window | |
| 10 | 7493 title. When the title is longer, only the end of the path name is |
| 7494 shown. A '<' character before the path name is used to indicate this. | |
| 7 | 7495 Using a percentage makes this adapt to the width of the window. But |
| 7496 it won't work perfectly, because the actual number of characters | |
| 7497 available also depends on the font used and other things in the title | |
| 7498 bar. When 'titlelen' is zero the full path is used. Otherwise, | |
| 7499 values from 1 to 30000 percent can be used. | |
| 7500 'titlelen' is also used for the 'titlestring' option. | |
| 7501 | |
| 7502 *'titleold'* | |
| 7503 'titleold' string (default "Thanks for flying Vim") | |
| 7504 global | |
| 7505 {not in Vi} | |
| 7506 {only available when compiled with the |+title| | |
| 7507 feature} | |
| 7508 This option will be used for the window title when exiting Vim if the | |
| 7509 original title cannot be restored. Only happens if 'title' is on or | |
| 7510 'titlestring' is not empty. | |
| 36 | 7511 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for |
| 7512 security reasons. | |
| 7 | 7513 *'titlestring'* |
| 7514 'titlestring' string (default "") | |
| 7515 global | |
| 7516 {not in Vi} | |
| 7517 {not available when compiled without the |+title| | |
| 7518 feature} | |
| 7519 When this option is not empty, it will be used for the title of the | |
| 7520 window. This happens only when the 'title' option is on. | |
| 7521 Only works if the terminal supports setting window titles (currently | |
| 7522 Amiga console, Win32 console, all GUI versions and terminals with a | |
| 7523 non-empty 't_ts' option). | |
| 7524 When Vim was compiled with HAVE_X11 defined, the original title will | |
| 7525 be restored if possible |X11|. | |
| 7526 When this option contains printf-style '%' items, they will be | |
| 7527 expanded according to the rules used for 'statusline'. | |
| 7528 Example: > | |
| 7529 :auto BufEnter * let &titlestring = hostname() . "/" . expand("%:p") | |
| 7530 :set title titlestring=%<%F%=%l/%L-%P titlelen=70 | |
| 7531 < The value of 'titlelen' is used to align items in the middle or right | |
| 7532 of the available space. | |
| 7533 Some people prefer to have the file name first: > | |
| 7534 :set titlestring=%t%(\ %M%)%(\ (%{expand(\"%:~:.:h\")})%)%(\ %a%) | |
| 7535 < Note the use of "%{ }" and an expression to get the path of the file, | |
| 10 | 7536 without the file name. The "%( %)" constructs are used to add a |
| 7 | 7537 separating space only when needed. |
| 7538 NOTE: Use of special characters in 'titlestring' may cause the display | |
| 7539 to be garbled (e.g., when it contains a CR or NL character). | |
| 7540 {not available when compiled without the |+statusline| feature} | |
| 7541 | |
| 7542 *'toolbar'* *'tb'* | |
| 7543 'toolbar' 'tb' string (default "icons,tooltips") | |
| 7544 global | |
| 7545 {only for |+GUI_GTK|, |+GUI_Athena|, |+GUI_Motif| and | |
| 7546 |+GUI_Photon|} | |
| 10 | 7547 The contents of this option controls various toolbar settings. The |
| 7 | 7548 possible values are: |
| 7549 icons Toolbar buttons are shown with icons. | |
| 7550 text Toolbar buttons shown with text. | |
| 7551 horiz Icon and text of a toolbar button are | |
| 10 | 7552 horizontally arranged. {only in GTK+ 2 GUI} |
| 7 | 7553 tooltips Tooltips are active for toolbar buttons. |
| 7554 Tooltips refer to the popup help text which appears after the mouse | |
| 7555 cursor is placed over a toolbar button for a brief moment. | |
| 7556 | |
| 7557 If you want the toolbar to be shown with icons as well as text, do the | |
| 7558 following: > | |
| 7559 :set tb=icons,text | |
| 7560 < Motif and Athena cannot display icons and text at the same time. They | |
| 7561 will show icons if both are requested. | |
| 7562 | |
| 7563 If none of the strings specified in 'toolbar' are valid or if | |
| 7564 'toolbar' is empty, this option is ignored. If you want to disable | |
| 7565 the toolbar, you need to set the 'guioptions' option. For example: > | |
| 7566 :set guioptions-=T | |
| 7567 < Also see |gui-toolbar|. | |
| 7568 | |
| 7569 *'toolbariconsize'* *'tbis'* | |
| 7570 'toolbariconsize' 'tbis' string (default "small") | |
| 7571 global | |
| 7572 {not in Vi} | |
| 7573 {only in the GTK+ 2 GUI} | |
| 7574 Controls the size of toolbar icons. The possible values are: | |
| 7575 tiny Use tiny toolbar icons. | |
| 7576 small Use small toolbar icons (default). | |
| 7577 medium Use medium-sized toolbar icons. | |
| 7578 large Use large toolbar icons. | |
| 7579 The exact dimensions in pixels of the various icon sizes depend on | |
| 7580 the current theme. Common dimensions are large=32x32, medium=24x24, | |
| 7581 small=20x20 and tiny=16x16. | |
| 7582 | |
| 7583 If 'toolbariconsize' is empty, the global default size as determined | |
| 7584 by user preferences or the current theme is used. | |
| 7585 | |
| 7586 *'ttybuiltin'* *'tbi'* *'nottybuiltin'* *'notbi'* | |
| 7587 'ttybuiltin' 'tbi' boolean (default on) | |
| 7588 global | |
| 7589 {not in Vi} | |
| 7590 When on, the builtin termcaps are searched before the external ones. | |
| 7591 When off the builtin termcaps are searched after the external ones. | |
| 7592 When this option is changed, you should set the 'term' option next for | |
| 7593 the change to take effect, for example: > | |
| 7594 :set notbi term=$TERM | |
| 7595 < See also |termcap|. | |
| 7596 Rationale: The default for this option is "on", because the builtin | |
| 7597 termcap entries are generally better (many systems contain faulty | |
| 7598 xterm entries...). | |
| 7599 | |
| 7600 *'ttyfast'* *'tf'* *'nottyfast'* *'notf'* | |
| 7601 'ttyfast' 'tf' boolean (default off, on when 'term' is xterm, hpterm, | |
| 7602 sun-cmd, screen, rxvt, dtterm or | |
| 7603 iris-ansi; also on when running Vim in | |
| 7604 a DOS console) | |
| 7605 global | |
| 7606 {not in Vi} | |
| 7607 Indicates a fast terminal connection. More characters will be sent to | |
| 7608 the screen for redrawing, instead of using insert/delete line | |
| 7609 commands. Improves smoothness of redrawing when there are multiple | |
| 7610 windows and the terminal does not support a scrolling region. | |
| 7611 Also enables the extra writing of characters at the end of each screen | |
| 7612 line for lines that wrap. This helps when using copy/paste with the | |
| 7613 mouse in an xterm and other terminals. | |
| 7614 | |
| 7615 *'ttymouse'* *'ttym'* | |
| 7616 'ttymouse' 'ttym' string (default depends on 'term') | |
| 7617 global | |
| 7618 {not in Vi} | |
| 7619 {only in Unix and VMS, doesn't work in the GUI; not | |
| 7620 available when compiled without |+mouse|} | |
| 7621 Name of the terminal type for which mouse codes are to be recognized. | |
| 1213 | 7622 Currently these strings are valid: |
| 7 | 7623 *xterm-mouse* |
| 7624 xterm xterm-like mouse handling. The mouse generates | |
| 7625 "<Esc>[Mscr", where "scr" is three bytes: | |
| 7626 "s" = button state | |
| 7627 "c" = column plus 33 | |
| 7628 "r" = row plus 33 | |
| 5908 | 7629 This only works up to 223 columns! See "dec", |
| 7630 "urxvt", and "sgr" for solutions. | |
| 7 | 7631 xterm2 Works like "xterm", but with the xterm reporting the |
| 7632 mouse position while the mouse is dragged. This works | |
| 7633 much faster and more precise. Your xterm must at | |
| 180 | 7634 least at patchlevel 88 / XFree 3.3.3 for this to |
| 7 | 7635 work. See below for how Vim detects this |
| 7636 automatically. | |
| 7637 *netterm-mouse* | |
| 7638 netterm NetTerm mouse handling. The mouse generates | |
| 7639 "<Esc>}r,c<CR>", where "r,c" are two decimal numbers | |
| 7640 for the row and column. | |
| 7641 *dec-mouse* | |
| 7642 dec DEC terminal mouse handling. The mouse generates a | |
| 7643 rather complex sequence, starting with "<Esc>[". | |
| 189 | 7644 This is also available for an Xterm, if it was |
| 7645 configured with "--enable-dec-locator". | |
| 7 | 7646 *jsbterm-mouse* |
| 7647 jsbterm JSB term mouse handling. | |
| 7648 *pterm-mouse* | |
| 7649 pterm QNX pterm mouse handling. | |
| 3224 | 7650 *urxvt-mouse* |
| 7651 urxvt Mouse handling for the urxvt (rxvt-unicode) terminal. | |
| 5908 | 7652 The mouse works only if the terminal supports this |
| 7653 encoding style, but it does not have 223 columns limit | |
| 7654 unlike "xterm" or "xterm2". | |
| 3750 | 7655 *sgr-mouse* |
| 7656 sgr Mouse handling for the terminal that emits SGR-styled | |
| 5908 | 7657 mouse reporting. The mouse works even in columns |
| 7658 beyond 223. This option is backward compatible with | |
| 7659 "xterm2" because it can also decode "xterm2" style | |
| 7660 mouse codes. | |
| 7 | 7661 |
| 7662 The mouse handling must be enabled at compile time |+mouse_xterm| | |
| 5908 | 7663 |+mouse_dec| |+mouse_netterm| |+mouse_jsbterm| |+mouse_urxvt| |
| 7664 |+mouse_sgr|. | |
| 7 | 7665 Only "xterm"(2) is really recognized. NetTerm mouse codes are always |
| 7666 recognized, if enabled at compile time. DEC terminal mouse codes | |
| 7667 are recognized if enabled at compile time, and 'ttymouse' is not | |
| 5908 | 7668 "xterm", "xterm2", "urxvt" or "sgr" (because dec mouse codes conflict |
| 7669 with them). | |
| 7 | 7670 This option is automatically set to "xterm", when the 'term' option is |
| 5908 | 7671 set to a name that starts with "xterm", "mlterm", or "screen", and |
| 7672 'ttymouse' is not set already. | |
| 7673 Additionally, if vim is compiled with the |+termresponse| feature and | |
| 7674 |t_RV| is set to the escape sequence to request the xterm version | |
| 7675 number, more intelligent detection process runs. | |
| 7 | 7676 The "xterm2" value will be set if the xterm version is reported to be |
| 5908 | 7677 from 95 to 276. The "sgr" value will be set if the xterm version is |
| 7678 277 or highter. | |
| 7679 If you do not want 'ttymouse' to be set to "xterm2" or "sgr" | |
| 7680 automatically, set t_RV to an empty string: > | |
| 7 | 7681 :set t_RV= |
| 7682 < | |
| 7683 *'ttyscroll'* *'tsl'* | |
| 7684 'ttyscroll' 'tsl' number (default 999) | |
| 7685 global | |
| 7686 Maximum number of lines to scroll the screen. If there are more lines | |
| 7687 to scroll the window is redrawn. For terminals where scrolling is | |
| 7688 very slow and redrawing is not slow this can be set to a small number, | |
| 7689 e.g., 3, to speed up displaying. | |
| 7690 | |
| 7691 *'ttytype'* *'tty'* | |
| 7692 'ttytype' 'tty' string (default from $TERM) | |
| 7693 global | |
| 7694 Alias for 'term', see above. | |

| 7768 After typing this many characters the swap file will be written to | |
| 7769 disk. When zero, no swap file will be created at all (see chapter on | |
| 7770 recovery |crash-recovery|). 'updatecount' is set to zero by starting | |
| 7771 Vim with the "-n" option, see |startup|. When editing in readonly | |
| 7772 mode this option will be initialized to 10000. | |
| 7773 The swapfile can be disabled per buffer with |'swapfile'|. | |
| 7774 When 'updatecount' is set from zero to non-zero, swap files are | |
| 7775 created for all buffers that have 'swapfile' set. When 'updatecount' | |
| 7776 is set to zero, existing swap files are not deleted. | |
| 7777 Also see |'swapsync'|. | |

| 7794 When bigger than zero, Vim will give messages about what it is doing. | |
| 7795 Currently, these messages are given: | |
| 7796 >= 1 When the viminfo file is read or written. | |
| 7797 >= 2 When a file is ":source"'ed. | |
| 712 | 7798 >= 5 Every searched tags file and include file. |
| 7 | 7799 >= 8 Files for which a group of autocommands is executed. |
| 7800 >= 9 Every executed autocommand. | |
| 7801 >= 12 Every executed function. | |
| 7802 >= 13 When an exception is thrown, caught, finished, or discarded. | |
| 7803 >= 14 Anything pending in a ":finally" clause. | |
| 7804 >= 15 Every executed Ex command (truncated at 200 characters). | |
| 7805 | |
| 7806 This option can also be set with the "-V" argument. See |-V|. | |
| 7807 This option is also set by the |:verbose| command. | |
| 7808 | |
| 293 | 7809 When the 'verbosefile' option is set then the verbose messages are not |
| 7810 displayed. | |

7870 {not available when compiled without the |+viminfo| |
| 7 | 7871 feature} |
| 7872 When non-empty, the viminfo file is read upon startup and written | |
| 10 | 7873 when exiting Vim (see |viminfo-file|). The string should be a comma |
| 7 | 7874 separated list of parameters, each consisting of a single character |
| 7875 identifying the particular parameter, followed by a number or string | |
| 7876 which specifies the value of that parameter. If a particular | |
| 7877 character is left out, then the default value is used for that | |
| 7878 parameter. The following is a list of the identifying characters and | |
| 7879 the effect of their value. | |
| 7880 CHAR VALUE ~ | |
| 3224 | 7881 *viminfo-!* |
| 7 | 7882 ! When included, save and restore global variables that start |
| 7883 with an uppercase letter, and don't contain a lowercase | |
| 7884 letter. Thus "KEEPTHIS and "K_L_M" are stored, but "KeepThis" | |
| 2607 | 7885 and "_K_L_M" are not. Nested List and Dict items may not be |
| 2642 | 7886 read back correctly, you end up with an empty item. |
| 3224 | 7887 *viminfo-quote* |
| 7 | 7888 " Maximum number of lines saved for each register. Old name of |
| 7889 the '<' item, with the disadvantage that you need to put a | |
| 7890 backslash before the ", otherwise it will be recognized as the | |
| 7891 start of a comment! | |
| 3224 | 7892 *viminfo-%* |
| 7 | 7893 % When included, save and restore the buffer list. If Vim is |
| 7894 started with a file name argument, the buffer list is not | |
| 7895 restored. If Vim is started without a file name argument, the | |
| 10 | 7896 buffer list is restored from the viminfo file. Buffers |
| 7 | 7897 without a file name and buffers for help files are not written |
| 7898 to the viminfo file. | |
| 23 | 7899 When followed by a number, the number specifies the maximum |
| 7900 number of buffers that are stored. Without a number all | |
| 7901 buffers are stored. | |
| 3224 | 7902 *viminfo-'* |
| 7 | 7903 ' Maximum number of previously edited files for which the marks |
| 7904 are remembered. This parameter must always be included when | |
| 7905 'viminfo' is non-empty. | |
| 7906 Including this item also means that the |jumplist| and the | |
| 7907 |changelist| are stored in the viminfo file. | |
| 3224 | 7908 *viminfo-/* |
| 7 | 7909 / Maximum number of items in the search pattern history to be |
| 10 | 7910 saved. If non-zero, then the previous search and substitute |
| 7 | 7911 patterns are also saved. When not included, the value of |
| 7912 'history' is used. | |
| 3224 | 7913 *viminfo-:* |
| 7 | 7914 : Maximum number of items in the command-line history to be |
| 10 | 7915 saved. When not included, the value of 'history' is used. |
| 3224 | 7916 *viminfo-<* |
| 7 | 7917 < Maximum number of lines saved for each register. If zero then |
| 7918 registers are not saved. When not included, all lines are | |
| 7919 saved. '"' is the old name for this item. | |
| 7920 Also see the 's' item below: limit specified in Kbyte. | |
| 3224 | 7921 *viminfo-@* |
| 7 | 7922 @ Maximum number of items in the input-line history to be |
| 10 | 7923 saved. When not included, the value of 'history' is used. |
| 3224 | 7924 *viminfo-c* |
| 7 | 7925 c When included, convert the text in the viminfo file from the |
| 7926 'encoding' used when writing the file to the current | |
| 233 | 7927 'encoding'. See |viminfo-encoding|. |
| 3224 | 7928 *viminfo-f* |
| 7 | 7929 f Whether file marks need to be stored. If zero, file marks ('0 |
| 7930 to '9, 'A to 'Z) are not stored. When not present or when | |
| 10 | 7931 non-zero, they are all stored. '0 is used for the current |
| 7 | 7932 cursor position (when exiting or when doing ":wviminfo"). |
| 3224 | 7933 *viminfo-h* |
| 7 | 7934 h Disable the effect of 'hlsearch' when loading the viminfo |
| 7935 file. When not included, it depends on whether ":nohlsearch" | |
| 7936 has been used since the last search command. | |
| 3224 | 7937 *viminfo-n* |
| 7 | 7938 n Name of the viminfo file. The name must immediately follow |
| 7939 the 'n'. Must be the last one! If the "-i" argument was | |
| 7940 given when starting Vim, that file name overrides the one | |
| 7941 given here with 'viminfo'. Environment variables are expanded | |
| 7942 when opening the file, not when setting the option. | |
| 3224 | 7943 *viminfo-r* |
| 7 | 7944 r Removable media. The argument is a string (up to the next |
| 7945 ','). This parameter can be given several times. Each | |
| 7946 specifies the start of a path for which no marks will be | |
| 7947 stored. This is to avoid removable media. For MS-DOS you | |
| 7948 could use "ra:,rb:", for Amiga "rdf0:,rdf1:,rdf2:". You can | |
| 7949 also use it for temp files, e.g., for Unix: "r/tmp". Case is | |
| 7950 ignored. Maximum length of each 'r' argument is 50 | |
| 7951 characters. | |
| 3224 | 7952 *viminfo-s* |
| 7 | 7953 s Maximum size of an item in Kbyte. If zero then registers are |
| 7954 not saved. Currently only applies to registers. The default | |
| 7955 "s10" will exclude registers with more than 10 Kbyte of text. | |
| 7956 Also see the '<' item above: line count limit. | |
| 7957 | |
| 7958 Example: > | |
| 7959 :set viminfo='50,<1000,s100,:0,n~/vim/viminfo | |
| 7960 < | |
| 7961 '50 Marks will be remembered for the last 50 files you | |
| 7962 edited. | |
| 7963 <1000 Contents of registers (up to 1000 lines each) will be | |
| 7964 remembered. | |
| 7965 s100 Registers with more than 100 Kbyte text are skipped. | |
| 7966 :0 Command-line history will not be saved. | |
| 7967 n~/vim/viminfo The name of the file to use is "~/vim/viminfo". | |
| 7968 no / Since '/' is not specified, the default will be used, | |
| 7969 that is, save all of the search history, and also the | |
| 7970 previous search and substitute patterns. | |
| 7971 no % The buffer list will not be saved nor read back. | |
| 7972 no h 'hlsearch' highlighting will be restored. | |
| 7973 | |
| 7974 When setting 'viminfo' from an empty value you can use |:rviminfo| to | |
| 7975 load the contents of the file, this is not done automatically. | |
| 7976 | |
| 7977 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for | |
| 7978 security reasons. | |
| 7979 | |
| 7980 *'virtualedit'* *'ve'* | |
| 7981 'virtualedit' 've' string (default "") | |
| 7982 global | |
| 7983 {not in Vi} | |
| 7984 {not available when compiled without the | |
| 7985 |+virtualedit| feature} | |
| 7986 A comma separated list of these words: | |
| 7987 block Allow virtual editing in Visual block mode. | |
| 7988 insert Allow virtual editing in Insert mode. | |
| 7989 all Allow virtual editing in all modes. | |
| 772 | 7990 onemore Allow the cursor to move just past the end of the line |
| 782 | 7991 |
| 7 | 7992 Virtual editing means that the cursor can be positioned where there is |
| 1263 | 7993 no actual character. This can be halfway into a tab or beyond the end |
| 7 | 7994 of the line. Useful for selecting a rectangle in Visual mode and |
| 7995 editing a table. | |
| 772 | 7996 "onemore" is not the same, it will only allow moving the cursor just |
| 7997 after the last character of the line. This makes some commands more | |
| 7998 consistent. Previously the cursor was always past the end of the line | |
| 7999 if the line was empty. But it is far from Vi compatible. It may also | |
| 782 | 8000 break some plugins or Vim scripts. For example because |l| can move |
| 8001 the cursor after the last character. Use with care! | |
| 5220 | 8002 Using the `$` command will move to the last character in the line, not |
| 782 | 8003 past it. This may actually move the cursor to the left! |
| 5220 | 8004 The `g$` command will move to the end of the screen line. |
| 772 | 8005 It doesn't make sense to combine "all" with "onemore", but you will |
| 8006 not get a warning for it. | |
| 7 | 8007 |
| 8008 *'visualbell'* *'vb'* *'novisualbell'* *'novb'* *beep* | |
| 8009 'visualbell' 'vb' boolean (default off) | |
| 8010 global | |
| 8011 {not in Vi} | |
| 8012 Use visual bell instead of beeping. The terminal code to display the | |
| 8013 visual bell is given with 't_vb'. When no beep or flash is wanted, | |
| 8014 use ":set vb t_vb=". | |
| 8015 Note: When the GUI starts, 't_vb' is reset to its default value. You | |
| 8016 might want to set it again in your |gvimrc|. | |
| 8017 In the GUI, 't_vb' defaults to "<Esc>|f", which inverts the display | |
| 8018 for 20 msec. If you want to use a different time, use "<Esc>|40f", | |
| 8019 where 40 is the time in msec. | |
| 8020 Does not work on the Amiga, you always get a screen flash. | |
| 8021 Also see 'errorbells'. | |
| 8022 | |
| 8023 *'warn'* *'nowarn'* | |
| 8024 'warn' boolean (default on) | |
| 8025 global | |
| 8026 Give a warning message when a shell command is used while the buffer | |
| 8027 has been changed. | |
| 8028 | |
| 8029 *'weirdinvert'* *'wiv'* *'noweirdinvert'* *'nowiv'* | |
| 8030 'weirdinvert' 'wiv' boolean (default off) | |
| 8031 global | |
| 8032 {not in Vi} | |
| 667 | 8033 This option has the same effect as the 't_xs' terminal option. |
| 7 | 8034 It is provided for backwards compatibility with version 4.x. |
| 8035 Setting 'weirdinvert' has the effect of making 't_xs' non-empty, and | |
| 8036 vice versa. Has no effect when the GUI is running. | |
| 8037 | |
| 8038 *'whichwrap'* *'ww'* | |
| 8039 'whichwrap' 'ww' string (Vim default: "b,s", Vi default: "") | |
| 8040 global | |
| 8041 {not in Vi} | |

| 8043 previous/next line when the cursor is on the first/last character in | |

| 8055 For example: > | |
| 8056 :set ww=<,>,[,] | |
| 8057 < allows wrap only when cursor keys are used. | |
| 8058 When the movement keys are used in combination with a delete or change | |
| 8059 operator, the <EOL> also counts for a character. This makes "3h" | |
| 8060 different from "3dh" when the cursor crosses the end of a line. This | |
| 8061 is also true for "x" and "X", because they do the same as "dl" and | |
| 8062 "dh". If you use this, you may also want to use the mapping | |
| 8063 ":map <BS> X" to make backspace delete the character in front of the | |
| 8064 cursor. | |
| 714 | 8065 When 'l' is included and it is used after an operator at the end of a |
| 8066 line then it will not move to the next line. This makes "dl", "cl", | |
| 8067 "yl" etc. work normally. | |

| 8072 'wildchar' 'wc' number (Vim default: <Tab>, Vi default: CTRL-E) | |
| 8073 global | |
| 8074 {not in Vi} | |
| 8075 Character you have to type to start wildcard expansion in the | |
| 8076 command-line, as specified with 'wildmode'. | |
| 1621 | 8077 More info here: |cmdline-completion|. |
| 7 | 8078 The character is not recognized when used inside a macro. See |
| 8079 'wildcharm' for that. | |
| 8080 Although 'wc' is a number option, you can set it to a special key: > | |
| 8081 :set wc=<Esc> | |
| 8082 < NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is | |
| 8083 set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. | |

| 8085 *'wildcharm'* *'wcm'* | |
| 8086 'wildcharm' 'wcm' number (default: none (0)) | |
| 8087 global | |
| 8088 {not in Vi} | |
| 8089 'wildcharm' works exactly like 'wildchar', except that it is | |
| 233 | 8090 recognized when used inside a macro. You can find "spare" command-line |
| 8091 keys suitable for this option by looking at |ex-edit-index|. Normally | |
| 7 | 8092 you'll never actually type 'wildcharm', just use it in mappings that |
| 8093 automatically invoke completion mode, e.g.: > | |
| 8094 :set wcm=<C-Z> | |
| 1621 | 8095 :cnoremap ss so $vim/sessions/*.vim<C-Z> |
| 7 | 8096 < Then after typing :ss you can use CTRL-P & CTRL-N. |

| 8098 *'wildignore'* *'wig'* | |
| 8099 'wildignore' 'wig' string (default "") | |
| 8100 global | |
| 8101 {not in Vi} | |
| 8102 {not available when compiled without the |+wildignore| | |
| 8103 feature} | |
| 8104 A list of file patterns. A file that matches with one of these | |
| 3682 | 8105 patterns is ignored when expanding |wildcards|, completing file or |
| 8106 directory names, and influences the result of |expand()|, |glob()| and | |
| 8107 |globpath()| unless a flag is passed to disable this. | |
| 7 | 8108 The pattern is used like with |:autocmd|, see |autocmd-patterns|. |
| 8109 Also see 'suffixes'. | |
| 8110 Example: > | |
| 8111 :set wildignore=*.o,*.obj | |
| 8112 < The use of |:set+=| and |:set-=| is preferred when adding or removing | |
| 8113 a pattern from the list. This avoids problems when a future version | |
| 8114 uses another default. | |
| 8115 | |

| 2662 | 8117 *'wildignorecase'* *'wic'* *'nowildignorecase'* *'nowic'* |
| 2652 | 8118 'wildignorecase' 'wic' boolean (default off) |
| 8119 global | |
| 8120 {not in Vi} | |
| 8121 When set case is ignored when completing file names and directories. | |
| 4242 | 8122 Has no effect when 'fileignorecase' is set. |
| 2652 | 8123 Does not apply when the shell is used to expand wildcards, which |
| 8124 happens when there are special characters. | |
| 8125 | |
| 8126 | |
| 7 | 8127 *'wildmenu'* *'wmnu'* *'nowildmenu'* *'nowmnu'* |
| 8128 'wildmenu' 'wmnu' boolean (default off) | |
| 8129 global | |
| 8130 {not in Vi} | |
| 8131 {not available if compiled without the |+wildmenu| | |
| 8132 feature} | |
| 8133 When 'wildmenu' is on, command-line completion operates in an enhanced | |
| 8134 mode. On pressing 'wildchar' (usually <Tab>) to invoke completion, | |
| 8135 the possible matches are shown just above the command line, with the | |
| 8136 first match highlighted (overwriting the status line, if there is | |
| 8137 one). Keys that show the previous/next match, such as <Tab> or | |
| 8138 CTRL-P/CTRL-N, cause the highlight to move to the appropriate match. | |
| 8139 When 'wildmode' is used, "wildmenu" mode is used where "full" is | |
| 8140 specified. "longest" and "list" do not start "wildmenu" mode. | |
| 4159 | 8141 You can check the current mode with |wildmenumode()|. |
| 7 | 8142 If there are more matches than can fit in the line, a ">" is shown on |
| 8143 the right and/or a "<" is shown on the left. The status line scrolls | |
| 8144 as needed. | |
| 8145 The "wildmenu" mode is abandoned when a key is hit that is not used | |
| 8146 for selecting a completion. | |
| 8147 While the "wildmenu" is active the following keys have special | |
| 8148 meanings: | |
| 8149 | |
| 8150 <Left> <Right> - select previous/next match (like CTRL-P/CTRL-N) | |
| 8151 <Down> - in filename/menu name completion: move into a | |
| 8152 subdirectory or submenu. | |
| 8153 <CR> - in menu completion, when the cursor is just after a | |
| 8154 dot: move into a submenu. | |
| 8155 <Up> - in filename/menu name completion: move up into | |
| 8156 parent directory or parent menu. | |
| 8157 | |
| 8158 This makes the menus accessible from the console |console-menus|. | |
| 8159 | |
| 8160 If you prefer the <Left> and <Right> keys to move the cursor instead | |
| 8161 of selecting a different match, use this: > | |
| 8162 :cnoremap <Left> <Space><BS><Left> | |
| 8163 :cnoremap <Right> <Space><BS><Right> | |
| 8164 < | |
| 8165 The "WildMenu" highlighting is used for displaying the current match | |
| 8166 |hl-WildMenu|. | |
| 8167 | |
| 8168 *'wildmode'* *'wim'* | |
| 8169 'wildmode' 'wim' string (Vim default: "full") | |
| 8170 global | |
| 8171 {not in Vi} | |
| 8172 Completion mode that is used for the character specified with | |
| 10 | 8173 'wildchar'. It is a comma separated list of up to four parts. Each |
| 1152 | 8174 part specifies what to do for each consecutive use of 'wildchar'. The |
| 7 | 8175 first part specifies the behavior for the first use of 'wildchar', |
| 8176 The second part for the second use, etc. | |
| 8177 These are the possible values for each part: | |
| 8178 "" Complete only the first match. | |
| 8179 "full" Complete the next full match. After the last match, | |
| 8180 the original string is used and then the first match | |
| 8181 again. | |
| 8182 "longest" Complete till longest common string. If this doesn't | |
| 8183 result in a longer string, use the next part. | |
| 8184 "longest:full" Like "longest", but also start 'wildmenu' if it is | |
| 8185 enabled. | |
| 8186 "list" When more than one match, list all matches. | |
| 8187 "list:full" When more than one match, list all matches and | |
| 8188 complete first match. | |
| 8189 "list:longest" When more than one match, list all matches and | |
| 8190 complete till longest common string. | |
| 8191 When there is only a single match, it is fully completed in all cases. | |
| 8192 | |
| 8193 Examples: > | |
| 8194 :set wildmode=full | |
| 233 | 8195 < Complete first full match, next match, etc. (the default) > |
| 7 | 8196 :set wildmode=longest,full |
| 8197 < Complete longest common string, then each full match > | |
| 8198 :set wildmode=list:full | |
| 8199 < List all matches and complete each full match > | |
| 8200 :set wildmode=list,full | |
| 8201 < List all matches without completing, then each full match > | |
| 8202 :set wildmode=longest,list | |
| 8203 < Complete longest common string, then list alternatives. | |
| 1621 | 8204 More info here: |cmdline-completion|. |

| 8209 {not in Vi} | |
| 8210 {not available when compiled without the |+wildignore| | |
| 8211 feature} | |
| 8212 A list of words that change how command line completion is done. | |
| 8213 Currently only one word is allowed: | |
| 8214 tagfile When using CTRL-D to list matching tags, the kind of | |
| 856 | 8215 tag and the file of the tag is listed. Only one match |
| 40 | 8216 is displayed per line. Often used tag kinds are: |
| 8217 d #define | |
| 8218 f function | |
| 8219 Also see |cmdline-completion|. | |
| 8220 | |
| 7 | 8221 *'winaltkeys'* *'wak'* |
| 8222 'winaltkeys' 'wak' string (default "menu") | |
| 8223 global | |
| 8224 {not in Vi} | |
| 8225 {only used in Win32, Motif, GTK and Photon GUI} | |
| 8226 Some GUI versions allow the access to menu entries by using the ALT | |
| 8227 key in combination with a character that appears underlined in the | |
| 8228 menu. This conflicts with the use of the ALT key for mappings and | |
| 8229 entering special characters. This option tells what to do: | |
| 8230 no Don't use ALT keys for menus. ALT key combinations can be | |
| 8231 mapped, but there is no automatic handling. This can then be | |
| 8232 done with the |:simalt| command. | |
| 8233 yes ALT key handling is done by the windowing system. ALT key | |
| 8234 combinations cannot be mapped. | |
| 8235 menu Using ALT in combination with a character that is a menu | |
| 10 | 8236 shortcut key, will be handled by the windowing system. Other |
| 7 | 8237 keys can be mapped. |
| 8238 If the menu is disabled by excluding 'm' from 'guioptions', the ALT | |
| 8239 key is never used for the menu. | |
| 36 | 8240 This option is not used for <F10>; on Win32 and with GTK <F10> will |
| 8241 select the menu, unless it has been mapped. | |
| 7 | 8242 |
| 164 | 8243 *'window'* *'wi'* |
| 8244 'window' 'wi' number (default screen height - 1) | |
| 8245 global | |
| 8246 Window height. Do not confuse this with the height of the Vim window, | |
| 8247 use 'lines' for that. | |
| 179 | 8248 Used for |CTRL-F| and |CTRL-B| when there is only one window and the |
| 8249 value is smaller than 'lines' minus one. The screen will scroll | |
| 8250 'window' minus two lines, with a minimum of one. | |
| 164 | 8251 When 'window' is equal to 'lines' minus one CTRL-F and CTRL-B scroll |
| 8252 in a much smarter way, taking care of wrapping lines. | |
| 8253 When resizing the Vim window, the value is smaller than 1 or more than | |
| 8254 or equal to 'lines' it will be set to 'lines' minus 1. | |
| 8255 {Vi also uses the option to specify the number of displayed lines} | |
| 8256 | |
| 7 | 8257 *'winheight'* *'wh'* *E591* |
| 8258 'winheight' 'wh' number (default 1) | |
| 8259 global | |

| 7 | 8262 feature} |
| 8263 Minimal number of lines for the current window. This is not a hard | |
| 10 | 8264 minimum, Vim will use fewer lines if there is not enough room. If the |
| 1621 | 8265 focus goes to a window that is smaller, its size is increased, at the |
| 8266 cost of the height of other windows. | |
| 8267 Set 'winheight' to a small number for normal editing. | |
| 8268 Set it to 999 to make the current window fill most of the screen. | |
| 8269 Other windows will be only 'winminheight' high. This has the drawback | |
| 8270 that ":all" will create only two windows. To avoid "vim -o 1 2 3 4" | |
| 8271 to create only two windows, set the option after startup is done, | |
