| 8 Vim produces. You can use this if you don't understand what the message | |
| 9 means. It is not complete though. | |

| 17 | |
| 18 The ":messages" command can be used to view previously given messages. This | |
| 19 is especially useful when messages have been overwritten or truncated. This | |
| 20 depends on the 'shortmess' option. | |

| 447 | 35 *g<* |
| 36 The "g<" command can be used to see the last page of previous command output. | |
| 532 | 37 This is especially useful if you accidentally typed <Space> at the hit-enter |
| 1118 | 38 prompt. You are then back at the hit-enter prompt and can then scroll further |
| 39 back. | |
| 2826 | 40 Note: If the output has been stopped with "q" at the more prompt, it will only |
| 41 be displayed up to this point. | |
| 447 | 42 The previous command output is cleared when another command produces output. |

43 The "g<" output is not redirected. |

| 7 | 45 If you are using translated messages, the first printed line tells who |
| 46 maintains the messages or the translations. You can use this to contact the | |
| 47 maintainer when you spot a mistake. | |
| 48 | |
| 49 If you want to find help on a specific (error) message, use the ID at the | |
| 50 start of the message. For example, to get help on the message: > | |
| 51 | |
| 52 E72: Close error on swap file | |
| 53 | |
| 54 or (translated): > | |
| 55 | |
| 56 E72: Errore durante chiusura swap file | |
| 57 | |
| 58 Use: > | |
| 59 | |
| 60 :help E72 | |
| 61 | |
| 62 If you are lazy, it also works without the shift key: > | |
| 63 | |

| 167 Cannot expand wildcards | |
| 168 | |
| 169 A filename contains a strange combination of characters, which causes Vim to | |
| 170 attempt expanding wildcards but this fails. This does NOT mean that no | |
| 171 matching file names could be found, but that the pattern was illegal. | |
| 172 | |
| 173 *E459* > | |
| 174 Cannot go back to previous directory | |
| 175 | |
| 176 While expanding a file name, Vim failed to go back to the previously used | |
| 177 directory. All file names being used may be invalid now! You need to have | |
| 178 execute permission on the current directory. | |
| 179 | |
| 180 *E190* *E212* > | |
| 181 Cannot open "{filename}" for writing | |
| 182 Can't open file for writing | |
| 183 | |
| 184 For some reason the file you are writing to cannot be created or overwritten. | |
| 185 The reason could be that you do not have permission to write in the directory | |
| 186 or the file name is not valid. | |
| 187 | |
| 188 *E166* > | |
| 189 Can't open linked file for writing | |
| 190 | |
| 191 You are trying to write to a file which can't be overwritten, and the file is | |
| 192 a link (either a hard link or a symbolic link). Writing might still be | |
| 193 possible if the directory that contains the link or the file is writable, but | |
| 194 Vim now doesn't know if you want to delete the link and write the file in its | |
| 195 place, or if you want to delete the file itself and write the new file in its | |
| 196 place. If you really want to write the file under this name, you have to | |
| 197 manually delete the link or the file, or change the permissions so that Vim | |
| 198 can overwrite. | |

201 Cannot change read-only variable "{name}" |
| 7 | 202 |
| 203 You are trying to assign a value to an argument of a function |a:var| or a Vim | |
| 204 internal variable |v:var| which is read-only. | |
| 205 | |
| 206 *E90* > | |
| 207 Cannot unload last buffer | |
| 208 | |
| 209 Vim always requires one buffer to be loaded, otherwise there would be nothing | |
| 210 to display in the window. | |
| 211 | |
| 212 *E40* > | |
| 213 Can't open errorfile <filename> | |
| 214 | |
| 215 When using the ":make" or ":grep" commands: The file used to save the error | |
| 216 messages or grep output cannot be opened. This can have several causes: | |
| 217 - 'shellredir' has a wrong value. | |
| 218 - The shell changes directory, causing the error file to be written in another | |
| 219 directory. This could be fixed by changing 'makeef', but then the make | |
| 220 command is still executed in the wrong directory. | |
| 221 - 'makeef' has a wrong value. | |
| 222 - The 'grepprg' or 'makeprg' could not be executed. This cannot always be | |
| 223 detected (especially on MS-Windows). Check your $PATH. | |
| 224 | |
| 225 > | |
| 226 Can't open file C:\TEMP\VIoD243.TMP | |
| 227 | |
| 228 On MS-Windows, this message appears when the output of an external command was | |
| 229 to be read, but the command didn't run successfully. This can be caused by | |
| 230 many things. Check the 'shell', 'shellquote', 'shellxquote', 'shellslash' and | |
| 231 related options. It might also be that the external command was not found, | |
| 232 there is no different error message for that. | |
| 233 | |
| 234 *E12* > | |
| 235 Command not allowed from exrc/vimrc in current dir or tag search | |
| 236 | |
| 237 Some commands are not allowed for security reasons. These commands mostly | |
| 238 come from a .exrc or .vimrc file in the current directory, or from a tags | |
| 239 file. Also see 'secure'. | |
| 240 | |
| 241 *E74* > | |
| 242 Command too complex | |
| 243 | |
| 244 A mapping resulted in a very long command string. Could be caused by a | |
| 245 mapping that indirectly calls itself. | |
| 246 | |
| 247 > | |
| 248 CONVERSION ERROR | |
| 249 | |
| 250 When writing a file and the text "CONVERSION ERROR" appears, this means that | |
| 251 some bits were lost when converting text from the internally used UTF-8 to the | |
| 252 format of the file. The file will not be marked unmodified. If you care | |
| 253 about the loss of information, set the 'fileencoding' option to another value | |
| 254 that can handle the characters in the buffer and write again. If you don't | |
| 255 care, you can abandon the buffer or reset the 'modified' option. | |
| 16808 | 256 If there is a backup file, when 'writebackup' or 'backup' is set, it will not |
| 257 be deleted, so you can move it back into place if you want to discard the | |
| 258 changes. | |
| 7 | 259 |
| 260 *E302* > | |
| 261 Could not rename swap file | |
| 262 | |
| 263 When the file name changes, Vim tries to rename the |swap-file| as well. | |
| 264 This failed and the old swap file is now still used. Mostly harmless. | |
| 265 | |
| 266 *E43* *E44* > | |

| 268 Corrupted regexp program | |

| 274 Error writing to "{filename}" | |
| 275 Error closing "{filename}" | |
| 276 Error reading "{filename}" | |
| 277 | |
| 278 This occurs when Vim is trying to rename a file, but a simple change of file | |
| 279 name doesn't work. Then the file will be copied, but somehow this failed. | |
| 280 The result may be that both the original file and the destination file exist | |
| 281 and the destination file may be incomplete. | |
| 282 | |
| 283 > | |
| 284 Vim: Error reading input, exiting... | |
| 285 | |
| 286 This occurs when Vim cannot read typed characters while input is required. | |
| 287 Vim got stuck, the only thing it can do is exit. This can happen when both | |
| 288 stdin and stderr are redirected and executing a script that doesn't exit Vim. | |
| 289 | |
| 290 *E47* > | |
| 291 Error while reading errorfile | |

304 "{filename}" exists (add ! to override) |
| 7 | 305 |
| 306 You are protected from accidentally overwriting a file. When you want to | |
| 307 write anyway, use the same command, but add a "!" just after the command. | |
| 308 Example: > | |
| 309 :w /tmp/test | |
| 310 changes to: > | |
| 311 :w! /tmp/test | |
| 312 < | |
| 457 | 313 *E768* > |
| 314 Swap file exists: {filename} (:silent! overrides) | |
| 315 | |
| 316 You are protected from overwriting a file that is being edited by Vim. This | |
| 317 happens when you use ":w! filename" and a swapfile is found. | |
| 318 - If the swapfile was left over from an old crashed edit session you may want | |
| 319 to delete the swapfile. Edit {filename} to find out information about the | |
| 320 swapfile. | |
| 321 - If you want to write anyway prepend ":silent!" to the command. For example: > | |
| 856 | 322 :silent! w! /tmp/test |
| 457 | 323 < The special command is needed, since you already added the ! for overwriting |
| 324 an existing file. | |
| 325 | |
| 7 | 326 *E139* > |
| 327 File is loaded in another buffer | |
| 328 | |
| 329 You are trying to write a file under a name which is also used in another | |
| 330 buffer. This would result in two versions of the same file. | |
| 331 | |
| 332 *E142* > | |
| 333 File not written: Writing is disabled by 'write' option | |
| 334 | |
| 335 The 'write' option is off. This makes all commands that try to write a file | |
| 336 generate this message. This could be caused by a |-m| commandline argument. | |
| 337 You can switch the 'write' option on with ":set write". | |
| 338 | |

445 No write since last change for buffer {N} (add ! to override) |
| 7 | 446 |
| 447 You are trying to |abandon| a file that has changes. Vim protects you from | |
| 448 losing your work. You can either write the changed file with ":w", or, if you | |
| 449 are sure, |abandon| it anyway, and lose all the changes. This can be done by | |
| 450 adding a '!' character just after the command you used. Example: > | |
| 451 :e other_file | |
| 452 changes to: > | |
| 453 :e! other_file | |
| 454 < | |
| 455 *E162* > | |
| 456 No write since last change for buffer "{name}" | |
| 457 | |
| 458 This appears when you try to exit Vim while some buffers are changed. You | |
| 459 will either have to write the changed buffer (with |:w|), or use a command to | |
| 460 abandon the buffer forcefully, e.g., with ":qa!". Careful, make sure you | |
| 461 don't throw away changes you really want to keep. You might have forgotten | |
| 462 about a buffer, especially when 'hidden' is set. | |
| 463 | |
| 22 | 464 > |
| 465 [No write since last change] | |
| 466 | |
| 467 This appears when executing a shell command while at least one buffer was | |
| 468 changed. To avoid the message reset the 'warn' option. | |

| 471 Null argument | |

| 478 Out of memory! (allocating {number} bytes) | |
| 479 Cannot allocate any buffer, exiting... | |
| 480 Cannot allocate buffer, using other one... | |
| 481 | |
| 482 Oh, oh. You must have been doing something complicated, or some other program | |
| 483 is consuming your memory. Be careful! Vim is not completely prepared for an | |
| 484 out-of-memory situation. First make sure that any changes are saved. Then | |
| 485 try to solve the memory shortage. To stay on the safe side, exit Vim and | |
| 2415 | 486 start again. |
| 487 | |
| 17909 | 488 If this happens while Vim is still initializing, editing files is very |
| 18343 | 489 unlikely to work, therefore Vim will exit with value 123. |
| 17909 | 490 |
| 2415 | 491 Buffers are only partly kept in memory, thus editing a very large file is |
| 492 unlikely to cause an out-of-memory situation. Undo information is completely | |
| 493 in memory, you can reduce that with these options: | |
| 494 - 'undolevels' Set to a low value, or to -1 to disable undo completely. This | |
| 495 helps for a change that affects all lines. | |
| 496 - 'undoreload' Set to zero to disable. | |

507 'readonly' option is set (add ! to override) |
| 7 | 508 |
| 509 You are trying to write a file that was marked as read-only. To write the | |
| 510 file anyway, either reset the 'readonly' option, or add a '!' character just | |
| 511 after the command you used. Example: > | |
| 512 :w | |

| 517 Read error in swap file | |
| 518 Seek error in swap file read | |
| 519 Oops, lost the swap file!!! | |
| 520 | |
| 521 Vim tried to read text from the |swap-file|, but something went wrong. The | |
| 522 text in the related buffer may now be corrupted! Check carefully before you | |
| 523 write a buffer. You may want to write it in another file and check for | |
| 524 differences. | |
| 525 | |
| 526 *E192* > | |
| 527 Recursive use of :normal too deep | |
| 528 | |
| 529 You are using a ":normal" command, whose argument again uses a ":normal" | |
| 530 command in a recursive way. This is restricted to 'maxmapdepth' levels. This | |
| 531 example illustrates how to get this message: > | |
| 532 :map gq :normal gq<CR> | |
| 533 If you type "gq", it will execute this mapping, which will call "gq" again. | |
| 534 | |
| 535 *E22* > | |
| 536 Scripts nested too deep | |
| 537 | |
| 538 Scripts can be read with the "-s" command-line argument and with the ":source" | |
| 539 command. The script can then again read another script. This can continue | |
| 540 for about 14 levels. When more nesting is done, Vim assumes that there is a | |
| 541 recursive loop somewhere and stops with this error message. | |
| 542 | |
| 543 *E319* > | |
| 544 Sorry, the command is not available in this version | |
| 545 | |
| 546 You have used a command that is not present in the version of Vim you are | |
| 547 using. When compiling Vim, many different features can be enabled or | |
| 548 disabled. This depends on how big Vim has chosen to be and the operating | |
| 549 system. See |+feature-list| for when which feature is available. The | |
| 550 |:version| command shows which feature Vim was compiled with. | |
| 551 | |

| 553 Swap file already exists (symlink attack?) | |
| 554 | |
| 555 This message appears when Vim is trying to open a swap file and finds it | |
| 556 already exists or finds a symbolic link in its place. This shouldn't happen, | |
| 557 because Vim already checked that the file doesn't exist. Either someone else | |
| 558 opened the same file at exactly the same moment (very unlikely) or someone is | |
| 559 attempting a symlink attack (could happen when editing a file in /tmp or when | |
| 560 'directory' starts with "/tmp", which is a bad choice). | |
| 561 | |
| 562 *E432* > | |
| 563 Tags file not sorted: {file name} | |
| 564 | |
| 565 Vim (and Vi) expect tags files to be sorted in ASCII order. Binary searching | |
| 566 can then be used, which is a lot faster than a linear search. If your tags | |
| 567 files are not properly sorted, reset the |'tagbsearch'| option. | |

752 Can't read file {filename} |
| 7 | 753 |
| 4186 | 754 Vim cannot read a temporary file. Especially on Windows, this can be caused |
| 755 by wrong escaping of special characters for cmd.exe; the approach was | |
| 756 changed with patch 7.3.443. Try using |shellescape()| for all shell arguments | |
| 757 given to |system()|, or explicitly add escaping with ^. Also see | |
| 758 'shellxquote' and 'shellxescape'. | |
| 7 | 759 |
| 760 *E464* > | |
| 761 Ambiguous use of user-defined command | |
| 762 | |
| 763 There are two user-defined commands with a common name prefix, and you used | |
| 764 Command-line completion to execute one of them. |user-cmd-ambiguous| | |
| 765 Example: > | |
| 766 :command MyCommand1 echo "one" | |
| 767 :command MyCommand2 echo "two" | |
| 768 :MyCommand | |
| 769 < | |
| 770 *E492* > | |
| 771 Not an editor command | |
| 772 | |
| 773 You tried to execute a command that is neither an Ex command nor | |
| 774 a user-defined command. | |
| 775 | |
| 11262 | 776 *E943* > |
| 777 Command table needs to be updated, run 'make cmdidxs' | |
| 778 | |
| 779 This can only happen when changing the source code, when adding a command in | |
| 780 src/ex_cmds.h. The lookup table then needs to be updated, by running: > | |
| 781 make cmdidxs | |
| 25619 | 782 < |
| 783 *E928* *E889* *E839* > | |
| 784 E928: String required | |
| 785 E889: Number required | |
| 786 E839: Bool required | |
| 787 | |
| 788 These happen when a value or expression is used that does not have the | |
| 789 expected type. | |

| 792 3. Messages *messages* | |
| 793 | |
| 794 This is an (incomplete) overview of various messages that Vim gives: | |
| 795 | |
| 446 | 796 *hit-enter* *press-enter* *hit-return* |
| 797 *press-return* *hit-enter-prompt* | |
| 7 | 798 |
| 446 | 799 Press ENTER or type command to continue |
| 7 | 800 |
| 801 This message is given when there is something on the screen for you to read, | |
| 802 and the screen is about to be redrawn: | |
| 803 - After executing an external command (e.g., ":!ls" and "="). | |
| 804 - Something is displayed on the status line that is longer than the width of | |
| 805 the window, or runs into the 'showcmd' or 'ruler' output. | |
| 806 | |
| 446 | 807 -> Press <Enter> or <Space> to redraw the screen and continue, without that |
| 808 key being used otherwise. | |
| 809 -> Press ':' or any other Normal mode command character to start that command. | |
| 23466 | 810 Note that after an external command some special keys, such as the cursor |
| 811 keys, may not work normally, because the terminal is still set to a state | |
| 812 for executing the external command. | |
| 698 | 813 -> Press 'k', <Up>, 'u', 'b' or 'g' to scroll back in the messages. This |
| 814 works the same way as at the |more-prompt|. Only works when 'compatible' | |
| 815 is off and 'more' is on. | |

818 typing one 'j' or 'f' too many causes the messages to disappear. |
| 446 | 819 -> Press <C-Y> to copy (yank) a modeless selection to the clipboard register. |
| 7 | 820 -> Use a menu. The characters defined for Cmdline-mode are used. |
| 821 -> When 'mouse' contains the 'r' flag, clicking the left mouse button works | |
| 822 like pressing <Space>. This makes it impossible to select text though. | |
| 823 -> For the GUI clicking the left mouse button in the last line works like | |
| 824 pressing <Space>. | |
| 825 | |
| 447 | 826 If you accidentally hit <Enter> or <Space> and you want to see the displayed |
| 827 text then use |g<|. This only works when 'more' is set. | |
| 828 | |
| 7 | 829 To reduce the number of hit-enter prompts: |
| 830 - Set 'cmdheight' to 2 or higher. | |
| 831 - Add flags to 'shortmess'. | |
| 832 - Reset 'showcmd' and/or 'ruler'. | |
| 17909 | 833 - Make sure `:echo` text is shorter than or equal to |v:echospace| screen |
| 834 cells. | |
| 7 | 835 |
| 539 | 836 If your script causes the hit-enter prompt and you don't know why, you may |
| 837 find the |v:scrollstart| variable useful. | |
| 838 | |
| 7 | 839 Also see 'mouse'. The hit-enter message is highlighted with the |hl-Question| |
| 840 group. | |

| 7 | 846 |
| 847 This message is given when the screen is filled with messages. It is only | |
| 848 given when the 'more' option is on. It is highlighted with the |hl-MoreMsg| | |
| 849 group. | |
