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 | |

72 hex (preceded with 0x) or octal (preceded with '0'). |
7 | 73 The old value can be inserted by typing 'wildchar' (by |
74 default this is a <Tab> or CTRL-E if 'compatible' is | |
75 set). See |cmdline-completion|. | |
76 White space between {option} and '=' is allowed and | |
77 will be ignored. White space between '=' and {value} | |
78 is not allowed. | |
79 See |option-backslash| for using white space and | |
80 backslashes in {value}. | |
81 | |
82 :se[t] {option}+={value} *:set+=* | |
83 Add the {value} to a number option, or append the | |
84 {value} to a string option. When the option is a | |
85 comma separated list, a comma is added, unless the | |
86 value was empty. | |
87 If the option is a list of flags, superfluous flags | |
557 | 88 are removed. When adding a flag that was already |
89 present the option value doesn't change. | |
809 | 90 Also see |:set-args| above. |
7 | 91 {not in Vi} |
92 | |
93 :se[t] {option}^={value} *:set^=* | |
94 Multiply the {value} to a number option, or prepend | |
95 the {value} to a string option. When the option is a | |
96 comma separated list, a comma is added, unless the | |
97 value was empty. | |
98 Also see |:set-args| above. | |
99 {not in Vi} | |
100 | |
101 :se[t] {option}-={value} *:set-=* | |
102 Subtract the {value} from a number option, or remove | |
103 the {value} from a string option, if it is there. | |
104 If the {value} is not found in a string option, there | |
105 is no error or warning. When the option is a comma | |
106 separated list, a comma is deleted, unless the option | |
107 becomes empty. | |
108 When the option is a list of flags, {value} must be | |
109 exactly as they appear in the option. Remove flags | |
110 one by one to avoid problems. | |
111 Also see |:set-args| above. | |
112 {not in Vi} | |
113 | |
114 The {option} arguments to ":set" may be repeated. For example: > | |
115 :set ai nosi sw=3 ts=3 | |
116 If you make an error in one of the arguments, an error message will be given | |
117 and the following arguments will be ignored. | |
118 | |
119 *:set-verbose* | |
120 When 'verbose' is non-zero, displaying an option value will also tell where it | |
121 was last set. Example: > | |
122 :verbose set shiftwidth cindent? | |
1621 | 123 < shiftwidth=4 ~ |
124 Last set from modeline ~ | |
125 cindent ~ | |
126 Last set from /usr/local/share/vim/vim60/ftplugin/c.vim ~ | |
127 This is only done when specific option values are requested, not for ":verbose | |
128 set all" or ":verbose set" without an argument. | |
129 When the option was set by hand there is no "Last set" message. | |
7 | 130 When the option was set while executing a function, user command or |
131 autocommand, the script in which it was defined is reported. | |
132 Note that an option may also have been set as a side effect of setting | |
133 'compatible'. | |
1621 | 134 A few special texts: |
135 Last set from modeline ~ | |
136 Option was set in a |modeline|. | |
137 Last set from --cmd argument ~ | |
138 Option was set with command line argument |--cmd| or +. | |
139 Last set from -c argument ~ | |
140 Option was set with command line argument |-c|, +, |-S| or | |
141 |-q|. | |
142 Last set from environment variable ~ | |
143 Option was set from an environment variable, $VIMINIT, | |
144 $GVIMINIT or $EXINIT. | |
145 Last set from error handler ~ | |
146 Option was cleared when evaluating it resulted in an error. | |

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

400 | |
401 *$HOME* | |
402 Using "~" is like using "$HOME", but it is only recognized at the start of an | |
403 option and after a space or comma. | |
404 | |
405 On Unix systems "~user" can be used too. It is replaced by the home directory | |
406 of user "user". Example: > | |
407 :set path=~mool/include,/usr/include,. | |
408 | |
409 On Unix systems the form "${HOME}" can be used too. The name between {} can | |
410 contain non-id characters then. Note that if you want to use this for the | |
411 "gf" command, you need to add the '{' and '}' characters to 'isfname'. | |
412 | |
3224 | 413 On MS-Windows, if $HOME is not defined as an environment variable, then |
414 at runtime Vim will set it to the expansion of $HOMEDRIVE$HOMEPATH. | |
415 | |
7 | 416 NOTE: expanding environment variables and "~/" is only done with the ":set" |
417 command, not when assigning a value to an option with ":let". | |
418 | |
419 | |
420 Note the maximum length of an expanded option is limited. How much depends on | |
421 the system, mostly it is something like 256 or 1024 characters. | |
422 | |
423 *:fix* *:fixdel* | |
424 :fix[del] Set the value of 't_kD': | |
425 't_kb' is 't_kD' becomes ~ | |
426 CTRL-? CTRL-H | |
427 not CTRL-? CTRL-? | |
428 | |
429 (CTRL-? is 0177 octal, 0x7f hex) {not in Vi} | |
430 | |
431 If your delete key terminal code is wrong, but the | |
432 code for backspace is alright, you can put this in | |
433 your .vimrc: > | |
434 :fixdel | |
435 < This works no matter what the actual code for | |
436 backspace is. | |
437 | |
438 If the backspace key terminal code is wrong you can | |
439 use this: > | |
440 :if &term == "termname" | |
441 : set t_kb=^V<BS> | |
442 : fixdel | |
443 :endif | |
444 < Where "^V" is CTRL-V and "<BS>" is the backspace key | |
10 | 445 (don't type four characters!). Replace "termname" |
7 | 446 with your terminal name. |
447 | |
448 If your <Delete> key sends a strange key sequence (not | |
449 CTRL-? or CTRL-H) you cannot use ":fixdel". Then use: > | |
450 :if &term == "termname" | |
451 : set t_kD=^V<Delete> | |
452 :endif | |
453 < Where "^V" is CTRL-V and "<Delete>" is the delete key | |
454 (don't type eight characters!). Replace "termname" | |
455 with your terminal name. | |
456 | |
457 *Linux-backspace* | |
458 Note about Linux: By default the backspace key | |
459 produces CTRL-?, which is wrong. You can fix it by | |
460 putting this line in your rc.local: > | |
461 echo "keycode 14 = BackSpace" | loadkeys | |
462 < | |
463 *NetBSD-backspace* | |
464 Note about NetBSD: If your backspace doesn't produce | |
465 the right code, try this: > | |
466 xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = BackSpace" | |
467 < If this works, add this in your .Xmodmap file: > | |
468 keysym 22 = BackSpace | |
469 < You need to restart for this to take effect. | |

471 ============================================================================== | |
472 2. Automatically setting options *auto-setting* | |
473 | |
474 Besides changing options with the ":set" command, there are three alternatives | |
475 to set options automatically for one or more files: | |
476 | |
477 1. When starting Vim initializations are read from various places. See | |
478 |initialization|. Most of them are performed for all editing sessions, | |
479 and some of them depend on the directory where Vim is started. | |
480 You can create an initialization file with |:mkvimrc|, |:mkview| and | |
481 |:mksession|. | |
482 2. If you start editing a new file, the automatic commands are executed. | |
483 This can be used to set options for files matching a particular pattern and | |
484 many other things. See |autocommand|. | |
485 3. If you start editing a new file, and the 'modeline' option is on, a | |
486 number of lines at the beginning and end of the file are checked for | |
487 modelines. This is explained here. | |
488 | |
489 *modeline* *vim:* *vi:* *ex:* *E520* | |
490 There are two forms of modelines. The first form: | |
5055 | 491 [text]{white}{vi:|vim:|ex:}[white]{options} |

528 could be short for "example:"). |
7 | 529 |
530 *modeline-local* | |
531 The options are set like with ":setlocal": The new value only applies to the | |
11 | 532 buffer and window that contain the file. Although it's possible to set global |
533 options from a modeline, this is unusual. If you have two windows open and | |
534 the files in it set the same global option to a different value, the result | |
535 depends on which one was opened last. | |
7 | 536 |
23 | 537 When editing a file that was already loaded, only the window-local options |
538 from the modeline are used. Thus if you manually changed a buffer-local | |
539 option after opening the file, it won't be changed if you edit the same buffer | |
540 in another window. But window-local options will be set. | |
541 | |
7 | 542 *modeline-version* |
543 If the modeline is only to be used for some versions of Vim, the version | |

544 number can be specified where "vim:" or "Vim:" is used: |
7 | 545 vim{vers}: version {vers} or later |
546 vim<{vers}: version before {vers} | |
547 vim={vers}: version {vers} | |
548 vim>{vers}: version after {vers} | |
6647 | 549 {vers} is 700 for Vim 7.0 (hundred times the major version plus minor). |
550 For example, to use a modeline only for Vim 7.0: | |
551 /* vim700: set foldmethod=marker */ ~ | |
552 To use a modeline for Vim after version 7.2: | |
553 /* vim>702: set cole=2: */ ~ | |
7 | 554 There can be no blanks between "vim" and the ":". |
555 | |
556 | |
557 The number of lines that are checked can be set with the 'modelines' option. | |
558 If 'modeline' is off or 'modelines' is 0 no lines are checked. | |
559 | |
560 Note that for the first form all of the rest of the line is used, thus a line | |
782 | 561 like: |
562 /* vi:ts=4: */ ~ | |
563 will give an error message for the trailing "*/". This line is OK: | |
564 /* vi:set ts=4: */ ~ | |
7 | 565 |
566 If an error is detected the rest of the line is skipped. | |
567 | |
568 If you want to include a ':' in a set command precede it with a '\'. The | |
782 | 569 backslash in front of the ':' will be removed. Example: |
570 /* vi:set dir=c\:\tmp: */ ~ | |
7 | 571 This sets the 'dir' option to "c:\tmp". Only a single backslash before the |
572 ':' is removed. Thus to include "\:" you have to specify "\\:". | |
573 | |
574 No other commands than "set" are supported, for security reasons (somebody | |
1111 | 575 might create a Trojan horse text file with modelines). And not all options |
576 can be set. For some options a flag is set, so that when it's used the | |
1152 | 577 |sandbox| is effective. Still, there is always a small risk that a modeline |
1111 | 578 causes trouble. E.g., when some joker sets 'textwidth' to 5 all your lines |
579 are wrapped unexpectedly. So disable modelines before editing untrusted text. | |
580 The mail ftplugin does this, for example. | |
7 | 581 |
582 Hint: If you would like to do something else than setting an option, you could | |
583 define an autocommand that checks the file for a specific string. For | |
584 example: > | |
585 au BufReadPost * if getline(1) =~ "VAR" | call SetVar() | endif | |
586 And define a function SetVar() that does something with the line containing | |
587 "VAR". | |
588 | |
589 ============================================================================== | |
590 3. Options summary *option-summary* | |
591 | |
592 In the list below all the options are mentioned with their full name and with | |
593 an abbreviation if there is one. Both forms may be used. | |
594 | |
595 In this document when a boolean option is "set" that means that ":set option" | |
596 is entered. When an option is "reset", ":set nooption" is used. | |
597 | |
598 For some options there are two default values: The "Vim default", which is | |
599 used when 'compatible' is not set, and the "Vi default", which is used when | |
600 'compatible' is set. | |
601 | |
602 Most options are the same in all windows and buffers. There are a few that | |
10 | 603 are specific to how the text is presented in a window. These can be set to a |
7 | 604 different value in each window. For example the 'list' option can be set in |
605 one window and reset in another for the same text, giving both types of view | |
606 at the same time. There are a few options that are specific to a certain | |
607 file. These can have a different value for each file or buffer. For example | |
608 the 'textwidth' option can be 78 for a normal text file and 0 for a C | |
609 program. | |
610 | |
611 global one option for all buffers and windows | |
612 local to window each window has its own copy of this option | |
613 local to buffer each buffer has its own copy of this option | |
614 | |
615 When creating a new window the option values from the currently active window | |
616 are used as a default value for the window-specific options. For the | |
617 buffer-specific options this depends on the 's' and 'S' flags in the | |
618 'cpoptions' option. If 's' is included (which is the default) the values for | |
619 buffer options are copied from the currently active buffer when a buffer is | |
10 | 620 first entered. If 'S' is present the options are copied each time the buffer |
621 is entered, this is almost like having global options. If 's' and 'S' are not | |
7 | 622 present, the options are copied from the currently active buffer when the |
623 buffer is created. | |
624 | |
519 | 625 Hidden options *hidden-options* |
626 | |
627 Not all options are supported in all versions. This depends on the supported | |
628 features and sometimes on the system. A remark about this is in curly braces | |
629 below. When an option is not supported it may still be set without getting an | |
630 error, this is called a hidden option. You can't get the value of a hidden | |
631 option though, it is not stored. | |
632 | |
633 To test if option "foo" can be used with ":set" use something like this: > | |
634 if exists('&foo') | |
635 This also returns true for a hidden option. To test if option "foo" is really | |
636 supported use something like this: > | |
637 if exists('+foo') | |
638 < | |
7 | 639 *E355* |
640 A jump table for the options with a short description can be found at |Q_op|. | |
641 | |
642 *'aleph'* *'al'* *aleph* *Aleph* | |
643 'aleph' 'al' number (default 128 for MS-DOS, 224 otherwise) | |
644 global | |
645 {not in Vi} | |
646 {only available when compiled with the |+rightleft| | |
647 feature} | |
648 The ASCII code for the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The | |
649 routine that maps the keyboard in Hebrew mode, both in Insert mode | |
650 (when hkmap is set) and on the command-line (when hitting CTRL-_) | |
651 outputs the Hebrew characters in the range [aleph..aleph+26]. | |
652 aleph=128 applies to PC code, and aleph=224 applies to ISO 8859-8. | |
653 See |rileft.txt|. | |
654 | |
655 *'allowrevins'* *'ari'* *'noallowrevins'* *'noari'* | |
656 'allowrevins' 'ari' boolean (default off) | |
657 global | |
658 {not in Vi} | |
659 {only available when compiled with the |+rightleft| | |
660 feature} | |
661 Allow CTRL-_ in Insert and Command-line mode. This is default off, to | |
662 avoid that users that accidentally type CTRL-_ instead of SHIFT-_ get | |
663 into reverse Insert mode, and don't know how to get out. See | |
664 'revins'. | |
665 NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. | |
666 | |
667 *'altkeymap'* *'akm'* *'noaltkeymap'* *'noakm'* | |
668 'altkeymap' 'akm' boolean (default off) | |
669 global | |
670 {not in Vi} | |
671 {only available when compiled with the |+farsi| | |
672 feature} | |
233 | 673 When on, the second language is Farsi. In editing mode CTRL-_ toggles |
7 | 674 the keyboard map between Farsi and English, when 'allowrevins' set. |
675 | |
233 | 676 When off, the keyboard map toggles between Hebrew and English. This |
7 | 677 is useful to start the Vim in native mode i.e. English (left-to-right |
678 mode) and have default second language Farsi or Hebrew (right-to-left | |
10 | 679 mode). See |farsi.txt|. |
7 | 680 |
681 *'ambiwidth'* *'ambw'* | |
682 'ambiwidth' 'ambw' string (default: "single") | |
683 global | |
684 {not in Vi} | |
685 {only available when compiled with the |+multi_byte| | |
686 feature} | |
687 Only effective when 'encoding' is "utf-8" or another Unicode encoding. | |
688 Tells Vim what to do with characters with East Asian Width Class | |
689 Ambiguous (such as Euro, Registered Sign, Copyright Sign, Greek | |
690 letters, Cyrillic letters). | |
691 | |
692 There are currently two possible values: | |
233 | 693 "single": Use the same width as characters in US-ASCII. This is |
7 | 694 expected by most users. |
695 "double": Use twice the width of ASCII characters. | |

700 There are a number of CJK fonts for which the width of glyphs for | |
701 those characters are solely based on how many octets they take in | |
702 legacy/traditional CJK encodings. In those encodings, Euro, | |
703 Registered sign, Greek/Cyrillic letters are represented by two octets, | |
233 | 704 therefore those fonts have "wide" glyphs for them. This is also |
7 | 705 true of some line drawing characters used to make tables in text |
233 | 706 file. Therefore, when a CJK font is used for GUI Vim or |
7 | 707 Vim is running inside a terminal (emulators) that uses a CJK font |
708 (or Vim is run inside an xterm invoked with "-cjkwidth" option.), | |
709 this option should be set to "double" to match the width perceived | |
710 by Vim with the width of glyphs in the font. Perhaps it also has | |
711 to be set to "double" under CJK Windows 9x/ME or Windows 2k/XP | |
712 when the system locale is set to one of CJK locales. See Unicode | |
713 Standard Annex #11 (http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr11). | |
714 | |
4229 | 715 Vim may set this option automatically at startup time when Vim is |
716 compiled with the |+termresponse| feature and if |t_u7| is set to the | |
4264 | 717 escape sequence to request cursor position report. |
4229 | 718 |
7 | 719 *'antialias'* *'anti'* *'noantialias'* *'noanti'* |
720 'antialias' 'anti' boolean (default: off) | |
721 global | |
722 {not in Vi} | |
723 {only available when compiled with GUI enabled | |
724 on Mac OS X} | |
725 This option only has an effect in the GUI version of Vim on Mac OS X | |
726 v10.2 or later. When on, Vim will use smooth ("antialiased") fonts, | |
727 which can be easier to read at certain sizes on certain displays. | |
728 Setting this option can sometimes cause problems if 'guifont' is set | |
729 to its default (empty string). | |
730 | |
731 *'autochdir'* *'acd'* *'noautochdir'* *'noacd'* | |
732 'autochdir' 'acd' boolean (default off) | |

734 {not in Vi} | |
2152 | 735 {only available when compiled with it, use |
736 exists("+autochdir") to check} | |
438 | 737 When on, Vim will change the current working directory whenever you |
738 open a file, switch buffers, delete a buffer or open/close a window. | |
739 It will change to the directory containing the file which was opened | |
740 or selected. | |
819 | 741 Note: When this option is on some plugins may not work. |
7 | 742 |
743 *'arabic'* *'arab'* *'noarabic'* *'noarab'* | |
744 'arabic' 'arab' boolean (default off) | |
745 local to window | |
746 {not in Vi} | |
747 {only available when compiled with the |+arabic| | |
748 feature} | |
749 This option can be set to start editing Arabic text. | |
750 Setting this option will: | |
751 - Set the 'rightleft' option, unless 'termbidi' is set. | |
752 - Set the 'arabicshape' option, unless 'termbidi' is set. | |
753 - Set the 'keymap' option to "arabic"; in Insert mode CTRL-^ toggles | |
754 between typing English and Arabic key mapping. | |
755 - Set the 'delcombine' option | |
756 Note that 'encoding' must be "utf-8" for working with Arabic text. | |
757 | |
758 Resetting this option will: | |
759 - Reset the 'rightleft' option. | |
760 - Disable the use of 'keymap' (without changing its value). | |
761 Note that 'arabicshape' and 'delcombine' are not reset (it is a global | |
3557 | 762 option). |
7 | 763 Also see |arabic.txt|. |
764 | |
765 *'arabicshape'* *'arshape'* | |
766 *'noarabicshape'* *'noarshape'* | |
767 'arabicshape' 'arshape' boolean (default on) | |
768 global | |
769 {not in Vi} | |
770 {only available when compiled with the |+arabic| | |
771 feature} | |
772 When on and 'termbidi' is off, the required visual character | |
773 corrections that need to take place for displaying the Arabic language | |
3893 | 774 take effect. Shaping, in essence, gets enabled; the term is a broad |
7 | 775 one which encompasses: |
776 a) the changing/morphing of characters based on their location | |
777 within a word (initial, medial, final and stand-alone). | |
778 b) the enabling of the ability to compose characters | |
779 c) the enabling of the required combining of some characters | |

785 *'autoindent'* *'ai'* *'noautoindent'* *'noai'* | |
786 'autoindent' 'ai' boolean (default off) | |
787 local to buffer | |
788 Copy indent from current line when starting a new line (typing <CR> | |
789 in Insert mode or when using the "o" or "O" command). If you do not | |
790 type anything on the new line except <BS> or CTRL-D and then type | |
1152 | 791 <Esc>, CTRL-O or <CR>, the indent is deleted again. Moving the cursor |
792 to another line has the same effect, unless the 'I' flag is included | |
793 in 'cpoptions'. | |
10 | 794 When autoindent is on, formatting (with the "gq" command or when you |
795 reach 'textwidth' in Insert mode) uses the indentation of the first | |
796 line. | |
7 | 797 When 'smartindent' or 'cindent' is on the indent is changed in |

7 | 801 {small difference from Vi: After the indent is deleted when typing |

806 'autoread' 'ar' boolean (default off) | |
807 global or local to buffer |global-local| | |
808 {not in Vi} | |
809 When a file has been detected to have been changed outside of Vim and | |
810 it has not been changed inside of Vim, automatically read it again. | |
811 When the file has been deleted this is not done. |timestamp| | |

813 using the global value: > | |
814 :set autoread< | |

817 'autowrite' 'aw' boolean (default off) | |

820 :next, :rewind, :last, :first, :previous, :stop, :suspend, :tag, :!, | |
864 | 821 :make, CTRL-] and CTRL-^ command; and when a :buffer, CTRL-O, CTRL-I, |
7 | 822 '{A-Z0-9}, or `{A-Z0-9} command takes one to another file. |
823 Note that for some commands the 'autowrite' option is not used, see | |
824 'autowriteall' for that. | |
825 | |
826 *'autowriteall'* *'awa'* *'noautowriteall'* *'noawa'* | |
827 'autowriteall' 'awa' boolean (default off) | |

829 {not in Vi} | |
830 Like 'autowrite', but also used for commands ":edit", ":enew", ":quit", | |
831 ":qall", ":exit", ":xit", ":recover" and closing the Vim window. | |
832 Setting this option also implies that Vim behaves like 'autowrite' has | |
833 been set. | |
834 | |
835 *'background'* *'bg'* | |
2826 | 836 'background' 'bg' string (default "dark" or "light", see below) |
7 | 837 global |
838 {not in Vi} | |
839 When set to "dark", Vim will try to use colors that look good on a | |
840 dark background. When set to "light", Vim will try to use colors that | |
841 look good on a light background. Any other value is illegal. | |
842 Vim tries to set the default value according to the terminal used. | |
843 This will not always be correct. | |
844 Setting this option does not change the background color, it tells Vim | |
845 what the background color looks like. For changing the background | |
846 color, see |:hi-normal|. | |
847 | |
848 When 'background' is set Vim will adjust the default color groups for | |
10 | 849 the new value. But the colors used for syntax highlighting will not |
1621 | 850 change. *g:colors_name* |

855 be undone. First delete the "g:colors_name" variable when needed. |
7 | 856 |
857 When setting 'background' to the default value with: > | |
858 :set background& | |
859 < Vim will guess the value. In the GUI this should work correctly, | |
860 in other cases Vim might not be able to guess the right value. | |
861 | |
862 When starting the GUI, the default value for 'background' will be | |
863 "light". When the value is not set in the .gvimrc, and Vim detects | |
864 that the background is actually quite dark, 'background' is set to | |
865 "dark". But this happens only AFTER the .gvimrc file has been read | |
866 (because the window needs to be opened to find the actual background | |
867 color). To get around this, force the GUI window to be opened by | |
868 putting a ":gui" command in the .gvimrc file, before where the value | |
869 of 'background' is used (e.g., before ":syntax on"). | |
2826 | 870 |
871 For MS-DOS, Windows and OS/2 the default is "dark". | |
872 For other systems "dark" is used when 'term' is "linux", | |
873 "screen.linux", "cygwin" or "putty", or $COLORFGBG suggests a dark | |
874 background. Otherwise the default is "light". | |
875 | |
7 | 876 Normally this option would be set in the .vimrc file. Possibly |
877 depending on the terminal name. Example: > | |
878 :if &term == "pcterm" | |
879 : set background=dark | |
880 :endif | |
881 < When this option is set, the default settings for the highlight groups | |
882 will change. To use other settings, place ":highlight" commands AFTER | |
883 the setting of the 'background' option. | |
884 This option is also used in the "$VIMRUNTIME/syntax/syntax.vim" file | |
885 to select the colors for syntax highlighting. After changing this | |
886 option, you must load syntax.vim again to see the result. This can be | |
887 done with ":syntax on". | |
888 | |
889 *'backspace'* *'bs'* | |
890 'backspace' 'bs' string (default "") | |
891 global | |
892 {not in Vi} | |
893 Influences the working of <BS>, <Del>, CTRL-W and CTRL-U in Insert | |
894 mode. This is a list of items, separated by commas. Each item allows | |
895 a way to backspace over something: | |
896 value effect ~ | |
897 indent allow backspacing over autoindent | |
898 eol allow backspacing over line breaks (join lines) | |
899 start allow backspacing over the start of insert; CTRL-W and CTRL-U | |
900 stop once at the start of insert. | |
901 | |
902 When the value is empty, Vi compatible backspacing is used. | |
903 | |
904 For backwards compatibility with version 5.4 and earlier: | |
905 value effect ~ | |
906 0 same as ":set backspace=" (Vi compatible) | |
907 1 same as ":set backspace=indent,eol" | |
908 2 same as ":set backspace=indent,eol,start" | |
909 | |
910 See |:fixdel| if your <BS> or <Del> key does not do what you want. | |
911 NOTE: This option is set to "" when 'compatible' is set. | |
912 | |
913 *'backup'* *'bk'* *'nobackup'* *'nobk'* | |
914 'backup' 'bk' boolean (default off) | |
915 global | |
916 {not in Vi} | |
917 Make a backup before overwriting a file. Leave it around after the | |
918 file has been successfully written. If you do not want to keep the | |
919 backup file, but you do want a backup while the file is being | |
920 written, reset this option and set the 'writebackup' option (this is | |
921 the default). If you do not want a backup file at all reset both | |
10 | 922 options (use this if your file system is almost full). See the |
7 | 923 |backup-table| for more explanations. |
924 When the 'backupskip' pattern matches, a backup is not made anyway. | |
925 When 'patchmode' is set, the backup may be renamed to become the | |
926 oldest version of a file. | |
927 NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. | |
928 | |
929 *'backupcopy'* *'bkc'* | |
930 'backupcopy' 'bkc' string (Vi default for Unix: "yes", otherwise: "auto") | |
6243 | 931 global or local to buffer |global-local| |
7 | 932 {not in Vi} |
933 When writing a file and a backup is made, this option tells how it's | |
934 done. This is a comma separated list of words. | |
935 | |
936 The main values are: | |
937 "yes" make a copy of the file and overwrite the original one | |
938 "no" rename the file and write a new one | |
939 "auto" one of the previous, what works best | |
940 | |
941 Extra values that can be combined with the ones above are: | |
942 "breaksymlink" always break symlinks when writing | |
943 "breakhardlink" always break hardlinks when writing | |
944 | |
945 Making a copy and overwriting the original file: | |
946 - Takes extra time to copy the file. | |
947 + When the file has special attributes, is a (hard/symbolic) link or | |
948 has a resource fork, all this is preserved. | |
949 - When the file is a link the backup will have the name of the link, | |
950 not of the real file. | |
951 | |
952 Renaming the file and writing a new one: | |
953 + It's fast. | |
954 - Sometimes not all attributes of the file can be copied to the new | |
955 file. | |
956 - When the file is a link the new file will not be a link. | |
957 | |
958 The "auto" value is the middle way: When Vim sees that renaming file | |
959 is possible without side effects (the attributes can be passed on and | |
1152 | 960 the file is not a link) that is used. When problems are expected, a |
961 copy will be made. | |
7 | 962 |
963 The "breaksymlink" and "breakhardlink" values can be used in | |
964 combination with any of "yes", "no" and "auto". When included, they | |
965 force Vim to always break either symbolic or hard links by doing | |
966 exactly what the "no" option does, renaming the original file to | |
967 become the backup and writing a new file in its place. This can be | |
968 useful for example in source trees where all the files are symbolic or | |
969 hard links and any changes should stay in the local source tree, not | |
970 be propagated back to the original source. | |
971 *crontab* | |
972 One situation where "no" and "auto" will cause problems: A program | |
973 that opens a file, invokes Vim to edit that file, and then tests if | |
974 the open file was changed (through the file descriptor) will check the | |
10 | 975 backup file instead of the newly created file. "crontab -e" is an |
7 | 976 example. |
977 | |
978 When a copy is made, the original file is truncated and then filled | |
979 with the new text. This means that protection bits, owner and | |
980 symbolic links of the original file are unmodified. The backup file | |
10 | 981 however, is a new file, owned by the user who edited the file. The |
7 | 982 group of the backup is set to the group of the original file. If this |
983 fails, the protection bits for the group are made the same as for | |
984 others. | |
985 | |
986 When the file is renamed this is the other way around: The backup has | |
987 the same attributes of the original file, and the newly written file | |
988 is owned by the current user. When the file was a (hard/symbolic) | |
989 link, the new file will not! That's why the "auto" value doesn't | |
990 rename when the file is a link. The owner and group of the newly | |
991 written file will be set to the same ones as the original file, but | |
992 the system may refuse to do this. In that case the "auto" value will | |
993 again not rename the file. | |
994 | |
995 *'backupdir'* *'bdir'* | |
996 'backupdir' 'bdir' string (default for Amiga: ".,t:", | |
5555 | 997 for MS-DOS and Win32: ".,$TEMP,c:/tmp,c:/temp" |
7 | 998 for Unix: ".,~/tmp,~/") |
999 global | |
1000 {not in Vi} | |
1001 List of directories for the backup file, separated with commas. | |

1005 - Empty means that no backup file will be created ('patchmode' is |
7 | 1006 impossible!). Writing may fail because of this. |
1007 - A directory "." means to put the backup file in the same directory | |
1008 as the edited file. | |
33 | 1009 - A directory starting with "./" (or ".\" for MS-DOS et al.) means to |
7 | 1010 put the backup file relative to where the edited file is. The |
1011 leading "." is replaced with the path name of the edited file. | |
1012 ("." inside a directory name has no special meaning). | |
1013 - Spaces after the comma are ignored, other spaces are considered part | |
1014 of the directory name. To have a space at the start of a directory | |
1015 name, precede it with a backslash. | |
1016 - To include a comma in a directory name precede it with a backslash. | |
1017 - A directory name may end in an '/'. | |
1018 - Environment variables are expanded |:set_env|. | |
1019 - Careful with '\' characters, type one before a space, type two to | |
1020 get one in the option (see |option-backslash|), for example: > | |
1021 :set bdir=c:\\tmp,\ dir\\,with\\,commas,\\\ dir\ with\ spaces | |
1022 < - For backwards compatibility with Vim version 3.0 a '>' at the start | |
1023 of the option is removed. | |
1024 See also 'backup' and 'writebackup' options. | |
1025 If you want to hide your backup files on Unix, consider this value: > | |
1026 :set backupdir=./.backup,~/.backup,.,/tmp | |
1027 < You must create a ".backup" directory in each directory and in your | |
1028 home directory for this to work properly. | |
1029 The use of |:set+=| and |:set-=| is preferred when adding or removing | |
1030 directories from the list. This avoids problems when a future version | |
1031 uses another default. | |
1032 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for | |
1033 security reasons. | |
1034 | |
1035 *'backupext'* *'bex'* *E589* | |
1036 'backupext' 'bex' string (default "~", for VMS: "_") | |
1037 global | |
1038 {not in Vi} | |
1039 String which is appended to a file name to make the name of the | |
1040 backup file. The default is quite unusual, because this avoids | |
1041 accidentally overwriting existing files with a backup file. You might | |
1042 prefer using ".bak", but make sure that you don't have files with | |
1043 ".bak" that you want to keep. | |
36 | 1044 Only normal file name characters can be used, "/\*?[|<>" are illegal. |
7 | 1045 |
26 | 1046 If you like to keep a lot of backups, you could use a BufWritePre |
1047 autocommand to change 'backupext' just before writing the file to | |
1048 include a timestamp. > | |
1049 :au BufWritePre * let &bex = '-' . strftime("%Y%b%d%X") . '~' | |
1050 < Use 'backupdir' to put the backup in a different directory. | |
1051 | |
7 | 1052 *'backupskip'* *'bsk'* |
1053 'backupskip' 'bsk' string (default: "/tmp/*,$TMPDIR/*,$TMP/*,$TEMP/*") | |
1054 global | |
1055 {not in Vi} | |
1056 {not available when compiled without the |+wildignore| | |
1057 feature} | |
1058 A list of file patterns. When one of the patterns matches with the | |
1059 name of the file which is written, no backup file is created. Both | |
1060 the specified file name and the full path name of the file are used. | |
1061 The pattern is used like with |:autocmd|, see |autocmd-patterns|. | |
1062 Watch out for special characters, see |option-backslash|. | |
1063 When $TMPDIR, $TMP or $TEMP is not defined, it is not used for the | |
233 | 1064 default value. "/tmp/*" is only used for Unix. |
1152 | 1065 |
3513 | 1066 WARNING: Not having a backup file means that when Vim fails to write |
1067 your buffer correctly and then, for whatever reason, Vim exits, you | |
1068 lose both the original file and what you were writing. Only disable | |
1069 backups if you don't care about losing the file. | |

1100 feature} | |
782 | 1101 Expression for text to show in evaluation balloon. It is only used |
1102 when 'ballooneval' is on. These variables can be used: | |
189 | 1103 |
1104 v:beval_bufnr number of the buffer in which balloon is going to show | |
1105 v:beval_winnr number of the window | |
1106 v:beval_lnum line number | |
1107 v:beval_col column number (byte index) | |
1108 v:beval_text word under or after the mouse pointer | |
1109 | |
1110 The evaluation of the expression must not have side effects! | |
1111 Example: > | |

1121 NOTE: The balloon is displayed only if the cursor is on a text | |
1122 character. If the result of evaluating 'balloonexpr' is not empty, | |
1123 Vim does not try to send a message to an external debugger (Netbeans | |
1124 or Sun Workshop). | |
1125 | |

1141 {not in Vi} | |
1142 Specifies for which events the bell will not be rung. It is a comma | |
1143 separated list of items. For each item that is present, the bell | |
1144 will be silenced. This is most useful to specify specific events in | |
1145 insert mode to be silenced. | |

1170 spell Error happened on spell suggest. | |
1171 wildmode More matches in |cmdline-completion| available | |
1172 (depends on the 'wildmode' setting). | |
1173 | |
1174 This is most useful, to fine tune when in insert mode the bell should | |
1175 be rung. For normal mode and ex commands, the bell is often rung to | |
1176 indicate that an error occurred. It can be silenced by adding the | |
1177 "error" keyword. | |
1178 | |
7 | 1179 *'binary'* *'bin'* *'nobinary'* *'nobin'* |
1180 'binary' 'bin' boolean (default off) | |
1181 local to buffer | |
1182 {not in Vi} | |
1183 This option should be set before editing a binary file. You can also | |
1184 use the |-b| Vim argument. When this option is switched on a few | |
1185 options will be changed (also when it already was on): | |
1186 'textwidth' will be set to 0 | |
1187 'wrapmargin' will be set to 0 | |
1188 'modeline' will be off | |
1189 'expandtab' will be off | |
1190 Also, 'fileformat' and 'fileformats' options will not be used, the | |
1191 file is read and written like 'fileformat' was "unix" (a single <NL> | |
1192 separates lines). | |
1193 The 'fileencoding' and 'fileencodings' options will not be used, the | |
1194 file is read without conversion. | |
1195 NOTE: When you start editing a(nother) file while the 'bin' option is | |
1196 on, settings from autocommands may change the settings again (e.g., | |
1197 'textwidth'), causing trouble when editing. You might want to set | |
1198 'bin' again when the file has been loaded. | |
1199 The previous values of these options are remembered and restored when | |
1200 'bin' is switched from on to off. Each buffer has its own set of | |
1201 saved option values. | |
1202 To edit a file with 'binary' set you can use the |++bin| argument. | |
1203 This avoids you have to do ":set bin", which would have effect for all | |
1204 files you edit. | |
1205 When writing a file the <EOL> for the last line is only written if | |
1206 there was one in the original file (normally Vim appends an <EOL> to | |
1207 the last line if there is none; this would make the file longer). See | |
1208 the 'endofline' option. | |
1209 | |

1218 local to buffer | |
1219 {not in Vi} | |
1220 {only available when compiled with the |+multi_byte| | |
1221 feature} | |
1222 When writing a file and the following conditions are met, a BOM (Byte | |
1223 Order Mark) is prepended to the file: | |
1224 - this option is on | |
1225 - the 'binary' option is off | |
1226 - 'fileencoding' is "utf-8", "ucs-2", "ucs-4" or one of the little/big | |
1227 endian variants. | |
1228 Some applications use the BOM to recognize the encoding of the file. | |
1229 Often used for UCS-2 files on MS-Windows. For other applications it | |
1230 causes trouble, for example: "cat file1 file2" makes the BOM of file2 | |

1231 appear halfway the resulting file. Gcc doesn't accept a BOM. |
7 | 1232 When Vim reads a file and 'fileencodings' starts with "ucs-bom", a |
1233 check for the presence of the BOM is done and 'bomb' set accordingly. | |
1234 Unless 'binary' is set, it is removed from the first line, so that you | |
1235 don't see it when editing. When you don't change the options, the BOM | |
1236 will be restored when writing the file. | |

1264 Settings for 'breakindent'. It can consist of the following optional | |
6026 | 1265 items and must be separated by a comma: |
6009 | 1266 min:{n} Minimum text width that will be kept after |
1267 applying 'breakindent', even if the resulting | |
1268 text should normally be narrower. This prevents | |
1269 text indented almost to the right window border | |
1270 occupying lot of vertical space when broken. | |
6026 | 1271 shift:{n} After applying 'breakindent', the wrapped line's |
1272 beginning will be shifted by the given number of | |
1273 characters. It permits dynamic French paragraph | |
6009 | 1274 indentation (negative) or emphasizing the line |
1275 continuation (positive). | |
1276 sbr Display the 'showbreak' value before applying the | |
1277 additional indent. | |

1294 local to buffer | |
1295 {not in Vi} | |
1296 {not available when compiled without the |+quickfix| | |
1297 feature} | |
1298 This option specifies what happens when a buffer is no longer | |
1299 displayed in a window: | |
1300 <empty> follow the global 'hidden' option | |
1301 hide hide the buffer (don't unload it), also when 'hidden' | |
1302 is not set | |
1303 unload unload the buffer, also when 'hidden' is set or using | |
1304 |:hide| | |
1305 delete delete the buffer from the buffer list, also when | |
1306 'hidden' is set or using |:hide|, like using | |
1307 |:bdelete| | |
1308 wipe wipe out the buffer from the buffer list, also when | |
1309 'hidden' is set or using |:hide|, like using | |
1310 |:bwipeout| | |
1311 | |
82 | 1312 CAREFUL: when "unload", "delete" or "wipe" is used changes in a buffer |
3224 | 1313 are lost without a warning. Also, these values may break autocommands |
1314 that switch between buffers temporarily. | |
7 | 1315 This option is used together with 'buftype' and 'swapfile' to specify |
1316 special kinds of buffers. See |special-buffers|. | |
1317 | |
1318 *'buflisted'* *'bl'* *'nobuflisted'* *'nobl'* *E85* | |
1319 'buflisted' 'bl' boolean (default: on) | |
1320 local to buffer | |
1321 {not in Vi} | |
1322 When this option is set, the buffer shows up in the buffer list. If | |
1323 it is reset it is not used for ":bnext", "ls", the Buffers menu, etc. | |
1324 This option is reset by Vim for buffers that are only used to remember | |
1325 a file name or marks. Vim sets it when starting to edit a buffer. | |
1326 But not when moving to a buffer with ":buffer". | |
1327 | |
1328 *'buftype'* *'bt'* *E382* | |
1329 'buftype' 'bt' string (default: "") | |
1330 local to buffer | |
1331 {not in Vi} | |
1332 {not available when compiled without the |+quickfix| | |
1333 feature} | |
1334 The value of this option specifies the type of a buffer: | |
1335 <empty> normal buffer | |
1336 nofile buffer which is not related to a file and will not be | |
1337 written | |
1338 nowrite buffer which will not be written | |
17 | 1339 acwrite buffer which will always be written with BufWriteCmd |
856 | 1340 autocommands. {not available when compiled without the |
17 | 1341 |+autocmd| feature} |
7 | 1342 quickfix quickfix buffer, contains list of errors |:cwindow| |
648 | 1343 or list of locations |:lwindow| |
7 | 1344 help help buffer (you are not supposed to set this |
1345 manually) | |
1346 | |
1347 This option is used together with 'bufhidden' and 'swapfile' to | |
1348 specify special kinds of buffers. See |special-buffers|. | |
1349 | |
1350 Be careful with changing this option, it can have many side effects! | |
1351 | |
648 | 1352 A "quickfix" buffer is only used for the error list and the location |
1353 list. This value is set by the |:cwindow| and |:lwindow| commands and | |
1354 you are not supposed to change it. | |
7 | 1355 |
1356 "nofile" and "nowrite" buffers are similar: | |
1357 both: The buffer is not to be written to disk, ":w" doesn't | |
1358 work (":w filename" does work though). | |
1359 both: The buffer is never considered to be |'modified'|. | |
1360 There is no warning when the changes will be lost, for | |
1361 example when you quit Vim. | |
1362 both: A swap file is only created when using too much memory | |
1363 (when 'swapfile' has been reset there is never a swap | |
1364 file). | |
1365 nofile only: The buffer name is fixed, it is not handled like a | |
1366 file name. It is not modified in response to a |:cd| | |
1367 command. | |
6647 | 1368 both: When using ":e bufname" and already editing "bufname" |
1369 the buffer is made empty and autocommands are | |
1370 triggered as usual for |:edit|. | |
17 | 1371 *E676* |
1372 "acwrite" implies that the buffer name is not related to a file, like | |
1373 "nofile", but it will be written. Thus, in contrast to "nofile" and | |
1374 "nowrite", ":w" does work and a modified buffer can't be abandoned | |
1375 without saving. For writing there must be matching |BufWriteCmd|, | |
1376 |FileWriteCmd| or |FileAppendCmd| autocommands. | |
7 | 1377 |
1378 *'casemap'* *'cmp'* | |
1379 'casemap' 'cmp' string (default: "internal,keepascii") | |
1380 global | |
1381 {not in Vi} | |
804 | 1382 {only available when compiled with the |+multi_byte| |
1383 feature} | |
7 | 1384 Specifies details about changing the case of letters. It may contain |
1385 these words, separated by a comma: | |
1386 internal Use internal case mapping functions, the current | |
1387 locale does not change the case mapping. This only | |
493 | 1388 matters when 'encoding' is a Unicode encoding, |
1389 "latin1" or "iso-8859-15". When "internal" is | |
1390 omitted, the towupper() and towlower() system library | |
1391 functions are used when available. | |
7 | 1392 keepascii For the ASCII characters (0x00 to 0x7f) use the US |
1393 case mapping, the current locale is not effective. | |
1394 This probably only matters for Turkish. | |
1395 | |
1396 *'cdpath'* *'cd'* *E344* *E346* | |

1401 |+file_in_path| feature} | |
1402 This is a list of directories which will be searched when using the | |
1403 |:cd| and |:lcd| commands, provided that the directory being searched | |
1668 | 1404 for has a relative path, not an absolute part starting with "/", "./" |
1405 or "../", the 'cdpath' option is not used then. | |
7 | 1406 The 'cdpath' option's value has the same form and semantics as |
1407 |'path'|. Also see |file-searching|. | |
1408 The default value is taken from $CDPATH, with a "," prepended to look | |
1409 in the current directory first. | |
1410 If the default value taken from $CDPATH is not what you want, include | |
1411 a modified version of the following command in your vimrc file to | |
1412 override it: > | |
1413 :let &cdpath = ',' . substitute(substitute($CDPATH, '[, ]', '\\\0', 'g'), ':', ',', 'g') | |
1414 < This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for | |
1415 security reasons. | |
1416 (parts of 'cdpath' can be passed to the shell to expand file names). | |

1425 The default is CTRL-F when 'compatible' is off. | |
1426 Only non-printable keys are allowed. | |
1427 The key can be specified as a single character, but it is difficult to | |
1428 type. The preferred way is to use the <> notation. Examples: > | |
1429 :set cedit=<C-Y> | |
1430 :set cedit=<Esc> | |

1438 and |+eval| features} |
7 | 1439 {not in Vi} |
1440 An expression that is used for character encoding conversion. It is | |
1441 evaluated when a file that is to be read or has been written has a | |
1442 different encoding from what is desired. | |
1443 'charconvert' is not used when the internal iconv() function is | |
1444 supported and is able to do the conversion. Using iconv() is | |
1445 preferred, because it is much faster. | |
1446 'charconvert' is not used when reading stdin |--|, because there is no | |
1447 file to convert from. You will have to save the text in a file first. | |
1448 The expression must return zero or an empty string for success, | |
1449 non-zero for failure. | |
1450 The possible encoding names encountered are in 'encoding'. | |
1451 Additionally, names given in 'fileencodings' and 'fileencoding' are | |
1452 used. | |
1453 Conversion between "latin1", "unicode", "ucs-2", "ucs-4" and "utf-8" | |
1454 is done internally by Vim, 'charconvert' is not used for this. | |
1455 'charconvert' is also used to convert the viminfo file, if the 'c' | |
1456 flag is present in 'viminfo'. Also used for Unicode conversion. | |
1457 Example: > | |
1458 set charconvert=CharConvert() | |
1459 fun CharConvert() | |
1460 system("recode " | |
1461 \ . v:charconvert_from . ".." . v:charconvert_to | |

1467 v:charconvert_to name of the desired encoding | |
1468 v:fname_in name of the input file | |
1469 v:fname_out name of the output file | |
1470 Note that v:fname_in and v:fname_out will never be the same. | |
1471 Note that v:charconvert_from and v:charconvert_to may be different | |
1472 from 'encoding'. Vim internally uses UTF-8 instead of UCS-2 or UCS-4. | |
1473 Encryption is not done by Vim when using 'charconvert'. If you want | |
1474 to encrypt the file after conversion, 'charconvert' should take care | |
1475 of this. | |
1476 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for | |
1477 security reasons. | |
1478 | |
1479 *'cindent'* *'cin'* *'nocindent'* *'nocin'* | |
1480 'cindent' 'cin' boolean (default off) | |
1481 local to buffer | |
1482 {not in Vi} | |
1483 {not available when compiled without the |+cindent| | |
1484 feature} | |
1621 | 1485 Enables automatic C program indenting. See 'cinkeys' to set the keys |
7 | 1486 that trigger reindenting in insert mode and 'cinoptions' to set your |
1487 preferred indent style. | |
1488 If 'indentexpr' is not empty, it overrules 'cindent'. | |
1489 If 'lisp' is not on and both 'indentexpr' and 'equalprg' are empty, | |
1490 the "=" operator indents using this algorithm rather than calling an | |
1491 external program. | |
1492 See |C-indenting|. | |
1493 When you don't like the way 'cindent' works, try the 'smartindent' | |
1494 option or 'indentexpr'. | |
1495 This option is not used when 'paste' is set. | |
1496 NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. | |
1497 | |
1498 *'cinkeys'* *'cink'* | |
1499 'cinkeys' 'cink' string (default "0{,0},0),:,0#,!^F,o,O,e") | |
1500 local to buffer | |
1501 {not in Vi} | |
1502 {not available when compiled without the |+cindent| | |
1503 feature} | |
1504 A list of keys that, when typed in Insert mode, cause reindenting of | |
1505 the current line. Only used if 'cindent' is on and 'indentexpr' is | |
1506 empty. | |
1507 For the format of this option see |cinkeys-format|. | |
1508 See |C-indenting|. | |
1509 | |
1510 *'cinoptions'* *'cino'* | |
1511 'cinoptions' 'cino' string (default "") | |
1512 local to buffer | |
1513 {not in Vi} | |
1514 {not available when compiled without the |+cindent| | |
1515 feature} | |
1516 The 'cinoptions' affect the way 'cindent' reindents lines in a C | |
1517 program. See |cinoptions-values| for the values of this option, and | |
1518 |C-indenting| for info on C indenting in general. | |
1519 | |
1520 | |
1521 *'cinwords'* *'cinw'* | |
1522 'cinwords' 'cinw' string (default "if,else,while,do,for,switch") | |
1523 local to buffer | |
1524 {not in Vi} | |
1525 {not available when compiled without both the | |
1526 |+cindent| and the |+smartindent| features} | |
1527 These keywords start an extra indent in the next line when | |
1528 'smartindent' or 'cindent' is set. For 'cindent' this is only done at | |
1529 an appropriate place (inside {}). | |
1530 Note that 'ignorecase' isn't used for 'cinwords'. If case doesn't | |
1531 matter, include the keyword both the uppercase and lowercase: | |
1532 "if,If,IF". | |
1533 | |
1534 *'clipboard'* *'cb'* | |
1535 'clipboard' 'cb' string (default "autoselect,exclude:cons\|linux" | |
1536 for X-windows, "" otherwise) | |
1537 global | |
1538 {not in Vi} | |
1539 {only in GUI versions or when the |+xterm_clipboard| | |
1540 feature is included} | |
1541 This option is a list of comma separated names. | |
1542 These names are recognized: | |
1543 | |
3674 | 1544 *clipboard-unnamed* |
7 | 1545 unnamed When included, Vim will use the clipboard register '*' |
1546 for all yank, delete, change and put operations which | |
1547 would normally go to the unnamed register. When a | |
1548 register is explicitly specified, it will always be | |
1549 used regardless of whether "unnamed" is in 'clipboard' | |
1550 or not. The clipboard register can always be | |
1551 explicitly accessed using the "* notation. Also see | |
1552 |gui-clipboard|. | |
1553 | |
3682 | 1554 *clipboard-unnamedplus* |
4119 | 1555 unnamedplus A variant of the "unnamed" flag which uses the |
1556 clipboard register '+' (|quoteplus|) instead of | |
1557 register '*' for all yank, delete, change and put | |
1558 operations which would normally go to the unnamed | |
1559 register. When "unnamed" is also included to the | |
1560 option, yank operations (but not delete, change or | |
1561 put) will additionally copy the text into register | |
1562 '*'. | |
2662 | 1563 Only available with the |+X11| feature. |
2654 | 1564 Availability can be checked with: > |
1565 if has('unnamedplus') | |
1566 < | |
3682 | 1567 *clipboard-autoselect* |
7 | 1568 autoselect Works like the 'a' flag in 'guioptions': If present, |
1569 then whenever Visual mode is started, or the Visual | |
1570 area extended, Vim tries to become the owner of the | |
1571 windowing system's global selection or put the | |
1572 selected text on the clipboard used by the selection | |
1573 register "*. See |guioptions_a| and |quotestar| for | |
1574 details. When the GUI is active, the 'a' flag in | |
1575 'guioptions' is used, when the GUI is not active, this | |
1576 "autoselect" flag is used. | |
1577 Also applies to the modeless selection. | |
1578 | |
3674 | 1579 *clipboard-autoselectplus* |
1580 autoselectplus Like "autoselect" but using the + register instead of | |
1581 the * register. Compare to the 'P' flag in | |
1582 'guioptions'. | |
1583 | |
1584 *clipboard-autoselectml* | |
7 | 1585 autoselectml Like "autoselect", but for the modeless selection |
1586 only. Compare to the 'A' flag in 'guioptions'. | |
1587 | |
3674 | 1588 *clipboard-html* |
1904 | 1589 html When the clipboard contains HTML, use this when |
1590 pasting. When putting text on the clipboard, mark it | |
1591 as HTML. This works to copy rendered HTML from | |
1592 Firefox, paste it as raw HTML in Vim, select the HTML | |
1593 in Vim and paste it in a rich edit box in Firefox. | |

1598 | |
3674 | 1599 *clipboard-exclude* |
7 | 1600 exclude:{pattern} |
1601 Defines a pattern that is matched against the name of | |
1602 the terminal 'term'. If there is a match, no | |
1603 connection will be made to the X server. This is | |
1604 useful in this situation: | |
1605 - Running Vim in a console. | |
1606 - $DISPLAY is set to start applications on another | |
1607 display. | |
1608 - You do not want to connect to the X server in the | |
1609 console, but do want this in a terminal emulator. | |
1610 To never connect to the X server use: > | |
1611 exclude:.* | |
1612 < This has the same effect as using the |-X| argument. | |
1613 Note that when there is no connection to the X server | |
1614 the window title won't be restored and the clipboard | |
1615 cannot be accessed. | |
1616 The value of 'magic' is ignored, {pattern} is | |
1617 interpreted as if 'magic' was on. | |
1618 The rest of the option value will be used for | |
1619 {pattern}, this must be the last entry. | |
1620 | |
1621 *'cmdheight'* *'ch'* | |
1622 'cmdheight' 'ch' number (default 1) | |
1623 global | |
1624 {not in Vi} | |
1625 Number of screen lines to use for the command-line. Helps avoiding | |
1626 |hit-enter| prompts. | |
824 | 1627 The value of this option is stored with the tab page, so that each tab |
1628 page can have a different value. | |

1658 'columns' 'co' number (default 80 or terminal width) | |
1659 global | |
1660 {not in Vi} | |
1661 Number of columns of the screen. Normally this is set by the terminal | |
161 | 1662 initialization and does not have to be set by hand. Also see |
1663 |posix-screen-size|. | |
7 | 1664 When Vim is running in the GUI or in a resizable window, setting this |
1665 option will cause the window size to be changed. When you only want | |
1666 to use the size for the GUI, put the command in your |gvimrc| file. | |
1667 When you set this option and Vim is unable to change the physical | |
1152 | 1668 number of columns of the display, the display may be messed up. For |
1669 the GUI it is always possible and Vim limits the number of columns to | |
1670 what fits on the screen. You can use this command to get the widest | |
1671 window possible: > | |

1682 A comma separated list of strings that can start a comment line. See | |

1692 A template for a comment. The "%s" in the value is replaced with the | |
1693 comment text. Currently only used to add markers for folding, see | |
1694 |fold-marker|. | |
1695 | |
1696 *'compatible'* *'cp'* *'nocompatible'* *'nocp'* | |
819 | 1697 'compatible' 'cp' boolean (default on, off when a |vimrc| or |gvimrc| |
1698 file is found) | |
7 | 1699 global |
1700 {not in Vi} | |
1701 This option has the effect of making Vim either more Vi-compatible, or | |
1702 make Vim behave in a more useful way. | |
1703 This is a special kind of option, because when it's set or reset, | |
1704 other options are also changed as a side effect. CAREFUL: Setting or | |
1705 resetting this option can have a lot of unexpected effects: Mappings | |
10 | 1706 are interpreted in another way, undo behaves differently, etc. If you |
7 | 1707 set this option in your vimrc file, you should probably put it at the |
1708 very start. | |
1709 By default this option is on and the Vi defaults are used for the | |
1710 options. This default was chosen for those people who want to use Vim | |
1711 just like Vi, and don't even (want to) know about the 'compatible' | |
1712 option. | |
819 | 1713 When a |vimrc| or |gvimrc| file is found while Vim is starting up, |
378 | 1714 this option is switched off, and all options that have not been |
1715 modified will be set to the Vim defaults. Effectively, this means | |
819 | 1716 that when a |vimrc| or |gvimrc| file exists, Vim will use the Vim |
378 | 1717 defaults, otherwise it will use the Vi defaults. (Note: This doesn't |
1152 | 1718 happen for the system-wide vimrc or gvimrc file, nor for a file given |
1719 with the |-u| argument). Also see |compatible-default| and | |
1720 |posix-compliance|. | |
7 | 1721 You can also set this option with the "-C" argument, and reset it with |
1722 "-N". See |-C| and |-N|. | |
1723 Switching this option off makes the Vim defaults be used for options | |
1724 that have a different Vi and Vim default value. See the options | |
1725 marked with a '+' below. Other options are not modified. | |
1726 At the moment this option is set, several other options will be set | |
1727 or reset to make Vim as Vi-compatible as possible. See the table | |
10 | 1728 below. This can be used if you want to revert to Vi compatible |
7 | 1729 editing. |

1814 Unloaded buffers are not loaded, thus their autocmds |:autocmd| are | |

1862 the menu is displayed you can use CTRL-L to add more | |
1863 characters. Whether case is ignored depends on the kind | |

1952 Copy the structure of the existing lines indent when autoindenting a | |
1953 new line. Normally the new indent is reconstructed by a series of | |
1954 tabs followed by spaces as required (unless |'expandtab'| is enabled, | |
1955 in which case only spaces are used). Enabling this option makes the | |
1956 new line copy whatever characters were used for indenting on the | |
1621 | 1957 existing line. 'expandtab' has no effect on these characters, a Tab |
1958 remains a Tab. If the new indent is greater than on the existing | |
7 | 1959 line, the remaining space is filled in the normal manner. |
1960 NOTE: 'copyindent' is reset when 'compatible' is set. | |

1982 contains behavior ~ | |
1983 *cpo-a* | |
1984 a When included, a ":read" command with a file name | |
1985 argument will set the alternate file name for the | |
1986 current window. | |
1987 *cpo-A* | |
1988 A When included, a ":write" command with a file name | |
1989 argument will set the alternate file name for the | |
1990 current window. | |
1991 *cpo-b* | |
1992 b "\|" in a ":map" command is recognized as the end of | |
1993 the map command. The '\' is included in the mapping, | |
1994 the text after the '|' is interpreted as the next | |
1995 command. Use a CTRL-V instead of a backslash to | |
1996 include the '|' in the mapping. Applies to all | |
1997 mapping, abbreviation, menu and autocmd commands. | |
1998 See also |map_bar|. | |
1999 *cpo-B* | |
2000 B A backslash has no special meaning in mappings, | |
2001 abbreviations and the "to" part of the menu commands. | |
2002 Remove this flag to be able to use a backslash like a | |
2003 CTRL-V. For example, the command ":map X \<Esc>" | |
2004 results in X being mapped to: | |
2005 'B' included: "\^[" (^[ is a real <Esc>) | |
2006 'B' excluded: "<Esc>" (5 characters) | |
2007 ('<' excluded in both cases) | |
2008 *cpo-c* | |
2009 c Searching continues at the end of any match at the | |
2010 cursor position, but not further than the start of the | |
2011 next line. When not present searching continues | |
2012 one character from the cursor position. With 'c' | |
2013 "abababababab" only gets three matches when repeating | |
2014 "/abab", without 'c' there are five matches. | |
2015 *cpo-C* | |
2016 C Do not concatenate sourced lines that start with a | |
2017 backslash. See |line-continuation|. | |
2018 *cpo-d* | |
2019 d Using "./" in the 'tags' option doesn't mean to use | |
2020 the tags file relative to the current file, but the | |
2021 tags file in the current directory. | |
2022 *cpo-D* | |
2023 D Can't use CTRL-K to enter a digraph after Normal mode | |
2024 commands with a character argument, like |r|, |f| and | |
2025 |t|. | |
2026 *cpo-e* | |
2027 e When executing a register with ":@r", always add a | |
2028 <CR> to the last line, also when the register is not | |
2029 linewise. If this flag is not present, the register | |
2030 is not linewise and the last line does not end in a | |
2031 <CR>, then the last line is put on the command-line | |
2032 and can be edited before hitting <CR>. | |
2033 *cpo-E* | |
2034 E It is an error when using "y", "d", "c", "g~", "gu" or | |
2035 "gU" on an Empty region. The operators only work when | |
2036 at least one character is to be operate on. Example: | |
2037 This makes "y0" fail in the first column. | |
2038 *cpo-f* | |
2039 f When included, a ":read" command with a file name | |
2040 argument will set the file name for the current buffer, | |
2041 if the current buffer doesn't have a file name yet. | |
2042 *cpo-F* | |
2043 F When included, a ":write" command with a file name | |
2044 argument will set the file name for the current | |
2045 buffer, if the current buffer doesn't have a file name | |
590 | 2046 yet. Also see |cpo-P|. |
7 | 2047 *cpo-g* |
2048 g Goto line 1 when using ":edit" without argument. | |
164 | 2049 *cpo-H* |
2050 H When using "I" on a line with only blanks, insert | |
2051 before the last blank. Without this flag insert after | |
2052 the last blank. | |
7 | 2053 *cpo-i* |
2054 i When included, interrupting the reading of a file will | |
2055 leave it modified. | |
10 | 2056 *cpo-I* |
2057 I When moving the cursor up or down just after inserting | |
2058 indent for 'autoindent', do not delete the indent. | |
7 | 2059 *cpo-j* |
2060 j When joining lines, only add two spaces after a '.', | |
2061 not after '!' or '?'. Also see 'joinspaces'. | |
2062 *cpo-J* | |
2063 J A |sentence| has to be followed by two spaces after | |
233 | 2064 the '.', '!' or '?'. A <Tab> is not recognized as |
7 | 2065 white space. |
2066 *cpo-k* | |
2067 k Disable the recognition of raw key codes in | |
2068 mappings, abbreviations, and the "to" part of menu | |
2069 commands. For example, if <Key> sends ^[OA (where ^[ | |
2070 is <Esc>), the command ":map X ^[OA" results in X | |
2071 being mapped to: | |
2072 'k' included: "^[OA" (3 characters) | |
2073 'k' excluded: "<Key>" (one key code) | |
2074 Also see the '<' flag below. | |
2075 *cpo-K* | |
2076 K Don't wait for a key code to complete when it is | |
2077 halfway a mapping. This breaks mapping <F1><F1> when | |
2078 only part of the second <F1> has been read. It | |
2079 enables cancelling the mapping by typing <F1><Esc>. | |
2080 *cpo-l* | |
2081 l Backslash in a [] range in a search pattern is taken | |
168 | 2082 literally, only "\]", "\^", "\-" and "\\" are special. |
2083 See |/[]| | |
7 | 2084 'l' included: "/[ \t]" finds <Space>, '\' and 't' |
2085 'l' excluded: "/[ \t]" finds <Space> and <Tab> | |
168 | 2086 Also see |cpo-\|. |
7 | 2087 *cpo-L* |
2088 L When the 'list' option is set, 'wrapmargin', | |
2089 'textwidth', 'softtabstop' and Virtual Replace mode | |
2090 (see |gR|) count a <Tab> as two characters, instead of | |
2091 the normal behavior of a <Tab>. | |
2092 *cpo-m* | |
2093 m When included, a showmatch will always wait half a | |
2094 second. When not included, a showmatch will wait half | |
2095 a second or until a character is typed. |'showmatch'| | |
2096 *cpo-M* | |
2097 M When excluded, "%" matching will take backslashes into | |
2098 account. Thus in "( \( )" and "\( ( \)" the outer | |
2099 parenthesis match. When included "%" ignores | |
2100 backslashes, which is Vi compatible. | |

2104 lines. |
7 | 2105 *cpo-o* |
2106 o Line offset to search command is not remembered for | |
2107 next search. | |
2108 *cpo-O* | |
2109 O Don't complain if a file is being overwritten, even | |
2110 when it didn't exist when editing it. This is a | |
2111 protection against a file unexpectedly created by | |
2112 someone else. Vi didn't complain about this. | |
2113 *cpo-p* | |
2114 p Vi compatible Lisp indenting. When not present, a | |
2115 slightly better algorithm is used. | |
590 | 2116 *cpo-P* |
2117 P When included, a ":write" command that appends to a | |
2118 file will set the file name for the current buffer, if | |
2119 the current buffer doesn't have a file name yet and | |
2120 the 'F' flag is also included |cpo-F|. | |
164 | 2121 *cpo-q* |
2122 q When joining multiple lines leave the cursor at the | |
2123 position where it would be when joining two lines. | |
7 | 2124 *cpo-r* |
2125 r Redo ("." command) uses "/" to repeat a search | |
2126 command, instead of the actually used search string. | |
2127 *cpo-R* | |
2128 R Remove marks from filtered lines. Without this flag | |
2129 marks are kept like |:keepmarks| was used. | |
2130 *cpo-s* | |
2131 s Set buffer options when entering the buffer for the | |
2132 first time. This is like it is in Vim version 3.0. | |
10 | 2133 And it is the default. If not present the options are |
7 | 2134 set when the buffer is created. |
2135 *cpo-S* | |
2136 S Set buffer options always when entering a buffer | |
2137 (except 'readonly', 'fileformat', 'filetype' and | |
2138 'syntax'). This is the (most) Vi compatible setting. | |
2139 The options are set to the values in the current | |
2140 buffer. When you change an option and go to another | |
2141 buffer, the value is copied. Effectively makes the | |
2142 buffer options global to all buffers. | |
2143 | |
2144 's' 'S' copy buffer options | |
2145 no no when buffer created | |
2146 yes no when buffer first entered (default) | |
2147 X yes each time when buffer entered (vi comp.) | |
2148 *cpo-t* | |
2149 t Search pattern for the tag command is remembered for | |
2150 "n" command. Otherwise Vim only puts the pattern in | |
2151 the history for search pattern, but doesn't change the | |
2152 last used search pattern. | |
2153 *cpo-u* | |
10 | 2154 u Undo is Vi compatible. See |undo-two-ways|. |
7 | 2155 *cpo-v* |
2156 v Backspaced characters remain visible on the screen in | |
2157 Insert mode. Without this flag the characters are | |
2158 erased from the screen right away. With this flag the | |
2159 screen newly typed text overwrites backspaced | |
2160 characters. | |
2161 *cpo-w* | |
2162 w When using "cw" on a blank character, only change one | |
2163 character and not all blanks until the start of the | |
2164 next word. | |
2165 *cpo-W* | |
2166 W Don't overwrite a readonly file. When omitted, ":w!" | |
2167 overwrites a readonly file, if possible. | |
2168 *cpo-x* | |
2169 x <Esc> on the command-line executes the command-line. | |
2170 The default in Vim is to abandon the command-line, | |
2171 because <Esc> normally aborts a command. |c_<Esc>| | |
164 | 2172 *cpo-X* |
2173 X When using a count with "R" the replaced text is | |
2174 deleted only once. Also when repeating "R" with "." | |
2175 and a count. | |
7 | 2176 *cpo-y* |
2177 y A yank command can be redone with ".". | |
164 | 2178 *cpo-Z* |
2179 Z When using "w!" while the 'readonly' option is set, | |
2180 don't reset 'readonly'. | |
7 | 2181 *cpo-!* |
2182 ! When redoing a filter command, use the last used | |
2183 external command, whatever it was. Otherwise the last | |
2184 used -filter- command is used. | |
2185 *cpo-$* | |
2186 $ When making a change to one line, don't redisplay the | |
2187 line, but put a '$' at the end of the changed text. | |
2188 The changed text will be overwritten when you type the | |
2189 new text. The line is redisplayed if you type any | |
2190 command that moves the cursor from the insertion | |
2191 point. | |
2192 *cpo-%* | |
2193 % Vi-compatible matching is done for the "%" command. | |
2194 Does not recognize "#if", "#endif", etc. | |
2195 Does not recognize "/*" and "*/". | |
2196 Parens inside single and double quotes are also | |
2197 counted, causing a string that contains a paren to | |
2198 disturb the matching. For example, in a line like | |
2199 "if (strcmp("foo(", s))" the first paren does not | |
2200 match the last one. When this flag is not included, | |
2201 parens inside single and double quotes are treated | |
2202 specially. When matching a paren outside of quotes, | |
2203 everything inside quotes is ignored. When matching a | |
2204 paren inside quotes, it will find the matching one (if | |
10 | 2205 there is one). This works very well for C programs. |
36 | 2206 This flag is also used for other features, such as |
2207 C-indenting. | |
161 | 2208 *cpo--* |
2209 - When included, a vertical movement command fails when | |
632 | 2210 it would go above the first line or below the last |
2211 line. Without it the cursor moves to the first or | |
2212 last line, unless it already was in that line. | |
161 | 2213 Applies to the commands "-", "k", CTRL-P, "+", "j", |
632 | 2214 CTRL-N, CTRL-J and ":1234". |
39 | 2215 *cpo-+* |
2216 + When included, a ":write file" command will reset the | |
2217 'modified' flag of the buffer, even though the buffer | |
2218 itself may still be different from its file. | |
856 | 2219 *cpo-star* |
7 | 2220 * Use ":*" in the same way as ":@". When not included, |
2221 ":*" is an alias for ":'<,'>", select the Visual area. | |
2222 *cpo-<* | |
2223 < Disable the recognition of special key codes in |<>| | |
2224 form in mappings, abbreviations, and the "to" part of | |
10 | 2225 menu commands. For example, the command |
7 | 2226 ":map X <Tab>" results in X being mapped to: |
2227 '<' included: "<Tab>" (5 characters) | |
2228 '<' excluded: "^I" (^I is a real <Tab>) | |
2229 Also see the 'k' flag above. | |
164 | 2230 *cpo->* |
2231 > When appending to a register, put a line break before | |
2232 the appended text. | |
2925 | 2233 *cpo-;* |
2234 ; When using |,| or |;| to repeat the last |t| search | |
2235 and the cursor is right in front of the searched | |
2236 character, the cursor won't move. When not included, | |
2237 the cursor would skip over it and jump to the | |
3557 | 2238 following occurrence. |
164 | 2239 |
2240 POSIX flags. These are not included in the Vi default value, except | |
2241 when $VIM_POSIX was set on startup. |posix| | |
2242 | |
2243 contains behavior ~ | |
856 | 2244 *cpo-#* |
164 | 2245 # A count before "D", "o" and "O" has no effect. |
168 | 2246 *cpo-&* |
2247 & When ":preserve" was used keep the swap file when | |
2248 exiting normally while this buffer is still loaded. | |
2249 This flag is tested when exiting. | |
2250 *cpo-\* | |
2251 \ Backslash in a [] range in a search pattern is taken | |
2252 literally, only "\]" is special See |/[]| | |
488 | 2253 '\' included: "/[ \-]" finds <Space>, '\' and '-' |
2254 '\' excluded: "/[ \-]" finds <Space> and '-' | |
2255 Also see |cpo-l|. | |
168 | 2256 *cpo-/* |
2257 / When "%" is used as the replacement string in a |:s| | |
2258 command, use the previous replacement string. |:s%| | |
164 | 2259 *cpo-{* |
2260 { The |{| and |}| commands also stop at a "{" character | |
2261 at the start of a line. | |
168 | 2262 *cpo-.* |
2263 . The ":chdir" and ":cd" commands fail if the current | |
2264 buffer is modified, unless ! is used. Vim doesn't | |
2265 need this, since it remembers the full path of an | |
2266 opened file. | |
164 | 2267 *cpo-bar* |
2268 | The value of the $LINES and $COLUMNS environment | |
2269 variables overrule the terminal size values obtained | |
2270 with system specific functions. | |

10 | 2442 Pattern to be used to find a macro definition. It is a search |
7 | 2443 pattern, just like for the "/" command. This option is used for the |
2444 commands like "[i" and "[d" |include-search|. The 'isident' option is | |
2445 used to recognize the defined name after the match: | |
2446 {match with 'define'}{non-ID chars}{defined name}{non-ID char} | |
2447 See |option-backslash| about inserting backslashes to include a space | |
2448 or backslash. | |
2449 The default value is for C programs. For C++ this value would be | |
2450 useful, to include const type declarations: > | |
2451 ^\(#\s*define\|[a-z]*\s*const\s*[a-z]*\) | |
2452 < When using the ":set" command, you need to double the backslashes! | |

2458 {only available when compiled with the |+multi_byte| | |

2460 If editing Unicode and this option is set, backspace and Normal mode | |
2461 "x" delete each combining character on its own. When it is off (the | |
2462 default) the character along with its combining characters are | |
2463 deleted. | |
2464 Note: When 'delcombine' is set "xx" may work different from "2x"! | |
2465 | |
2466 This is useful for Arabic, Hebrew and many other languages where one | |
2467 may have combining characters overtop of base characters, and want | |
2468 to remove only the combining ones. | |

2473 {not in Vi} | |
2474 List of file names, separated by commas, that are used to lookup words | |
2475 for keyword completion commands |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-K|. Each file should | |
2476 contain a list of words. This can be one word per line, or several | |
2477 words per line, separated by non-keyword characters (white space is | |
2478 preferred). Maximum line length is 510 bytes. | |
703 | 2479 When this option is empty, or an entry "spell" is present, spell |
2480 checking is enabled the currently active spelling is used. |spell| | |
10 | 2481 To include a comma in a file name precede it with a backslash. Spaces |
7 | 2482 after a comma are ignored, otherwise spaces are included in the file |
2483 name. See |option-backslash| about using backslashes. | |
99 | 2484 This has nothing to do with the |Dictionary| variable type. |
7 | 2485 Where to find a list of words? |
2486 - On FreeBSD, there is the file "/usr/share/dict/words". | |
2487 - In the Simtel archive, look in the "msdos/linguist" directory. | |
2488 - In "miscfiles" of the GNU collection. | |
2489 The use of |:set+=| and |:set-=| is preferred when adding or removing | |
2490 directories from the list. This avoids problems when a future version | |
2491 uses another default. | |
2492 Backticks cannot be used in this option for security reasons. | |
2493 | |

10 | 2520 Option settings for diff mode. It can consist of the following items. |
7 | 2521 All are optional. Items must be separated by a comma. |
2522 | |
2523 filler Show filler lines, to keep the text | |
2524 synchronized with a window that has inserted | |
2525 lines at the same position. Mostly useful | |
2526 when windows are side-by-side and 'scrollbind' | |
2527 is set. | |
2528 | |
2529 context:{n} Use a context of {n} lines between a change | |
2530 and a fold that contains unchanged lines. | |
2531 When omitted a context of six lines is used. | |
2532 See |fold-diff|. | |
2533 | |
2534 icase Ignore changes in case of text. "a" and "A" | |
2535 are considered the same. Adds the "-i" flag | |
2536 to the "diff" command if 'diffexpr' is empty. | |
2537 | |
2538 iwhite Ignore changes in amount of white space. Adds | |
2539 the "-b" flag to the "diff" command if | |
2540 'diffexpr' is empty. Check the documentation | |
2541 of the "diff" command for what this does | |
2542 exactly. It should ignore adding trailing | |
2543 white space, but not leading white space. | |
2544 | |
766 | 2545 horizontal Start diff mode with horizontal splits (unless |
2546 explicitly specified otherwise). | |
2547 | |
2548 vertical Start diff mode with vertical splits (unless | |
2549 explicitly specified otherwise). | |
2550 | |
2551 foldcolumn:{n} Set the 'foldcolumn' option to {n} when | |
2552 starting diff mode. Without this 2 is used. | |
2553 | |
7 | 2554 Examples: > |
2555 | |
2556 :set diffopt=filler,context:4 | |
2557 :set diffopt= | |
766 | 2558 :set diffopt=filler,foldcolumn:3 |
7 | 2559 < |
2560 *'digraph'* *'dg'* *'nodigraph'* *'nodg'* | |
2561 'digraph' 'dg' boolean (default off) | |
2562 global | |
2563 {not in Vi} | |
2564 {not available when compiled without the |+digraphs| | |
2565 feature} | |
2566 Enable the entering of digraphs in Insert mode with {char1} <BS> | |
2567 {char2}. See |digraphs|. | |
2568 NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. | |
2569 | |
2570 *'directory'* *'dir'* | |
2571 'directory' 'dir' string (default for Amiga: ".,t:", | |
5555 | 2572 for MS-DOS and Win32: ".,$TEMP,c:\tmp,c:\temp" |
7 | 2573 for Unix: ".,~/tmp,/var/tmp,/tmp") |
2574 global | |
2575 List of directory names for the swap file, separated with commas. | |
2576 - The swap file will be created in the first directory where this is | |
2577 possible. | |
2578 - Empty means that no swap file will be used (recovery is | |
2579 impossible!). | |
2580 - A directory "." means to put the swap file in the same directory as | |
2581 the edited file. On Unix, a dot is prepended to the file name, so | |
2582 it doesn't show in a directory listing. On MS-Windows the "hidden" | |
2583 attribute is set and a dot prepended if possible. | |
33 | 2584 - A directory starting with "./" (or ".\" for MS-DOS et al.) means to |
7 | 2585 put the swap file relative to where the edited file is. The leading |
2586 "." is replaced with the path name of the edited file. | |
459 | 2587 - For Unix and Win32, if a directory ends in two path separators "//" |
2588 or "\\", the swap file name will be built from the complete path to | |
2589 the file with all path separators substituted to percent '%' signs. | |
2590 This will ensure file name uniqueness in the preserve directory. | |
1698 | 2591 On Win32, when a separating comma is following, you must use "//", |
2592 since "\\" will include the comma in the file name. | |
7 | 2593 - Spaces after the comma are ignored, other spaces are considered part |
2594 of the directory name. To have a space at the start of a directory | |
2595 name, precede it with a backslash. | |
2596 - To include a comma in a directory name precede it with a backslash. | |
2597 - A directory name may end in an ':' or '/'. | |
2598 - Environment variables are expanded |:set_env|. | |
2599 - Careful with '\' characters, type one before a space, type two to | |
2600 get one in the option (see |option-backslash|), for example: > | |
2601 :set dir=c:\\tmp,\ dir\\,with\\,commas,\\\ dir\ with\ spaces | |
2602 < - For backwards compatibility with Vim version 3.0 a '>' at the start | |
2603 of the option is removed. | |
2604 Using "." first in the list is recommended. This means that editing | |
2605 the same file twice will result in a warning. Using "/tmp" on Unix is | |
2606 discouraged: When the system crashes you lose the swap file. | |
2607 "/var/tmp" is often not cleared when rebooting, thus is a better | |
2608 choice than "/tmp". But it can contain a lot of files, your swap | |
2609 files get lost in the crowd. That is why a "tmp" directory in your | |
2610 home directory is tried first. | |
2611 The use of |:set+=| and |:set-=| is preferred when adding or removing | |
2612 directories from the list. This avoids problems when a future version | |
2613 uses another default. | |
2614 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for | |
2615 security reasons. | |
2616 {Vi: directory to put temp file in, defaults to "/tmp"} | |
2617 | |
2618 *'display'* *'dy'* | |
2619 'display' 'dy' string (default "") | |
2620 global | |
2621 {not in Vi} | |
2622 Change the way text is displayed. This is comma separated list of | |
2623 flags: | |
2624 lastline When included, as much as possible of the last line | |
10 | 2625 in a window will be displayed. When not included, a |
7 | 2626 last line that doesn't fit is replaced with "@" lines. |
2627 uhex Show unprintable characters hexadecimal as <xx> | |
2628 instead of using ^C and ~C. | |
2629 | |
2630 *'eadirection'* *'ead'* | |
2631 'eadirection' 'ead' string (default "both") | |

2664 Sets the character encoding used inside Vim. It applies to text in | |
2665 the buffers, registers, Strings in expressions, text stored in the | |
2666 viminfo file, etc. It sets the kind of characters which Vim can work | |
2667 with. See |encoding-names| for the possible values. | |
2668 | |
2669 NOTE: Changing this option will not change the encoding of the | |
39 | 2670 existing text in Vim. It may cause non-ASCII text to become invalid. |
7 | 2671 It should normally be kept at its default value, or set when Vim |
1152 | 2672 starts up. See |multibyte|. To reload the menus see |:menutrans|. |

7 | 2677 NOTE: For GTK+ 2 it is highly recommended to set 'encoding' to |
2678 "utf-8". Although care has been taken to allow different values of | |
2679 'encoding', "utf-8" is the natural choice for the environment and | |
2680 avoids unnecessary conversion overhead. "utf-8" has not been made | |
10 | 2681 the default to prevent different behavior of the GUI and terminal |
7 | 2682 versions, and to avoid changing the encoding of newly created files |
2683 without your knowledge (in case 'fileencodings' is empty). | |
2684 | |
2685 The character encoding of files can be different from 'encoding'. | |
10 | 2686 This is specified with 'fileencoding'. The conversion is done with |
7 | 2687 iconv() or as specified with 'charconvert'. |

2696 set to convert typed and displayed text. See |encoding-table|. | |
2697 | |
2698 When you set this option, it fires the |EncodingChanged| autocommand | |
2699 event so that you can set up fonts if necessary. | |
2700 | |
2701 When the option is set, the value is converted to lowercase. Thus | |
2702 you can set it with uppercase values too. Underscores are translated | |
2703 to '-' signs. | |
2704 When the encoding is recognized, it is changed to the standard name. | |
2705 For example "Latin-1" becomes "latin1", "ISO_88592" becomes | |
2706 "iso-8859-2" and "utf8" becomes "utf-8". | |
2707 | |
2708 Note: "latin1" is also used when the encoding could not be detected. | |
2709 This only works when editing files in the same encoding! When the | |
2710 actual character set is not latin1, make sure 'fileencoding' and | |
2711 'fileencodings' are empty. When conversion is needed, switch to using | |
2712 utf-8. | |
2713 | |
2714 When "unicode", "ucs-2" or "ucs-4" is used, Vim internally uses utf-8. | |
2715 You don't notice this while editing, but it does matter for the | |
2716 |viminfo-file|. And Vim expects the terminal to use utf-8 too. Thus | |
2717 setting 'encoding' to one of these values instead of utf-8 only has | |
2718 effect for encoding used for files when 'fileencoding' is empty. | |
448 | 2719 |
2720 When 'encoding' is set to a Unicode encoding, and 'fileencodings' was | |
2721 not set yet, the default for 'fileencodings' is changed. | |
7 | 2722 |
2723 *'endofline'* *'eol'* *'noendofline'* *'noeol'* | |
2724 'endofline' 'eol' boolean (default on) | |
2725 local to buffer | |
2726 {not in Vi} | |
2727 When writing a file and this option is off and the 'binary' option | |
6933 | 2728 is on, or 'fixeol' option is off, no <EOL> will be written for the |
2729 last line in the file. This option is automatically set or reset when | |
2730 starting to edit a new file, depending on whether file has an <EOL> | |
2731 for the last line in the file. Normally you don't have to set or | |
2732 reset this option. | |
2733 When 'binary' is off and 'fixeol' is on the value is not used when | |
2734 writing the file. When 'binary' is on or 'fixeol' is off it is used | |
2735 to remember the presence of a <EOL> for the last line in the file, so | |
2736 that when you write the file the situation from the original file can | |
2737 be kept. But you can change it if you want to. | |
7 | 2738 |
2739 *'equalalways'* *'ea'* *'noequalalways'* *'noea'* | |
2740 'equalalways' 'ea' boolean (default on) | |
2741 global | |
2742 {not in Vi} | |
2743 When on, all the windows are automatically made the same size after | |
33 | 2744 splitting or closing a window. This also happens the moment the |
2745 option is switched on. When off, splitting a window will reduce the | |
2746 size of the current window and leave the other windows the same. When | |
2747 closing a window the extra lines are given to the window next to it | |
2748 (depending on 'splitbelow' and 'splitright'). | |
7 | 2749 When mixing vertically and horizontally split windows, a minimal size |
2750 is computed and some windows may be larger if there is room. The | |
2751 'eadirection' option tells in which direction the size is affected. | |
1354 | 2752 Changing the height and width of a window can be avoided by setting |
2753 'winfixheight' and 'winfixwidth', respectively. | |

2905 *'fe'* | |
2906 NOTE: Before version 6.0 this option specified the encoding for the | |
10 | 2907 whole of Vim, this was a mistake. Now use 'encoding' instead. The |
7 | 2908 old short name was 'fe', which is no longer used. |
2909 | |
2910 *'fileencodings'* *'fencs'* | |
39 | 2911 'fileencodings' 'fencs' string (default: "ucs-bom", |
2912 "ucs-bom,utf-8,default,latin1" when | |
2913 'encoding' is set to a Unicode value) | |
7 | 2914 global |
2915 {only available when compiled with the |+multi_byte| | |
2916 feature} | |
2917 {not in Vi} | |
2918 This is a list of character encodings considered when starting to edit | |
2919 an existing file. When a file is read, Vim tries to use the first | |
2920 mentioned character encoding. If an error is detected, the next one | |
2921 in the list is tried. When an encoding is found that works, | |
10 | 2922 'fileencoding' is set to it. If all fail, 'fileencoding' is set to |
7 | 2923 an empty string, which means the value of 'encoding' is used. |
2924 WARNING: Conversion can cause loss of information! When | |
2925 'encoding' is "utf-8" (or one of the other Unicode variants) | |
2926 conversion is most likely done in a way that the reverse | |
2927 conversion results in the same text. When 'encoding' is not | |
596 | 2928 "utf-8" some non-ASCII characters may be lost! You can use |
2929 the |++bad| argument to specify what is done with characters | |
2930 that can't be converted. | |
7 | 2931 For an empty file or a file with only ASCII characters most encodings |
2932 will work and the first entry of 'fileencodings' will be used (except | |
2933 "ucs-bom", which requires the BOM to be present). If you prefer | |
2934 another encoding use an BufReadPost autocommand event to test if your | |
2935 preferred encoding is to be used. Example: > | |
2936 au BufReadPost * if search('\S', 'w') == 0 | | |
2937 \ set fenc=iso-2022-jp | endif | |
2938 < This sets 'fileencoding' to "iso-2022-jp" if the file does not contain | |
2939 non-blank characters. | |
596 | 2940 When the |++enc| argument is used then the value of 'fileencodings' is |
2941 not used. | |
692 | 2942 Note that 'fileencodings' is not used for a new file, the global value |
2943 of 'fileencoding' is used instead. You can set it with: > | |
2944 :setglobal fenc=iso-8859-2 | |
2945 < This means that a non-existing file may get a different encoding than | |
2946 an empty file. | |
7 | 2947 The special value "ucs-bom" can be used to check for a Unicode BOM |
2948 (Byte Order Mark) at the start of the file. It must not be preceded | |
2949 by "utf-8" or another Unicode encoding for this to work properly. | |
2950 An entry for an 8-bit encoding (e.g., "latin1") should be the last, | |
2951 because Vim cannot detect an error, thus the encoding is always | |
2952 accepted. | |
39 | 2953 The special value "default" can be used for the encoding from the |
2954 environment. This is the default value for 'encoding'. It is useful | |
2955 when 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" and your environment uses a | |
2956 non-latin1 encoding, such as Russian. | |
777 | 2957 When 'encoding' is "utf-8" and a file contains an illegal byte |
2958 sequence it won't be recognized as UTF-8. You can use the |8g8| | |
2959 command to find the illegal byte sequence. | |
7 | 2960 WRONG VALUES: WHAT'S WRONG: |
2961 latin1,utf-8 "latin1" will always be used | |
2962 utf-8,ucs-bom,latin1 BOM won't be recognized in an utf-8 | |
2963 file | |
2964 cp1250,latin1 "cp1250" will always be used | |
2965 If 'fileencodings' is empty, 'fileencoding' is not modified. | |
2966 See 'fileencoding' for the possible values. | |
2967 Setting this option does not have an effect until the next time a file | |
2968 is read. | |

2987 'fileformats' is not empty and 'binary' is off. | |
2988 When this option is set, after starting to edit a file, the 'modified' | |
2989 option is set, because the file would be different when written. | |
2990 This option can not be changed when 'modifiable' is off. | |

3008 - When set to one name, that format will be used whenever a new buffer | |
10 | 3009 is opened. 'fileformat' is set accordingly for that buffer. The |
7 | 3010 'fileformats' name will be used when a file is read into an existing |
3011 buffer, no matter what 'fileformat' for that buffer is set to. | |
3012 - When more than one name is present, separated by commas, automatic | |
3013 <EOL> detection will be done when reading a file. When starting to | |
3014 edit a file, a check is done for the <EOL>: | |
3015 1. If all lines end in <CR><NL>, and 'fileformats' includes "dos", | |
3016 'fileformat' is set to "dos". | |
3017 2. If a <NL> is found and 'fileformats' includes "unix", 'fileformat' | |
10 | 3018 is set to "unix". Note that when a <NL> is found without a |
7 | 3019 preceding <CR>, "unix" is preferred over "dos". |
6647 | 3020 3. If 'fileformat' has not yet been set, and if a <CR> is found, and |
3021 if 'fileformats' includes "mac", 'fileformat' is set to "mac". | |
2587 | 3022 This means that "mac" is only chosen when: |
3023 "unix" is not present or no <NL> is found in the file, and | |
3024 "dos" is not present or no <CR><NL> is found in the file. | |
3025 Except: if "unix" was chosen, but there is a <CR> before | |
3026 the first <NL>, and there appear to be more <CR>s than <NL>s in | |
2642 | 3027 the first few lines, "mac" is used. |
7 | 3028 4. If 'fileformat' is still not set, the first name from |
3029 'fileformats' is used. | |
3030 When reading a file into an existing buffer, the same is done, but | |
3031 this happens like 'fileformat' has been set appropriately for that | |
3032 file only, the option is not changed. | |
3033 When 'binary' is set, the value of 'fileformats' is not used. | |

3036 can overrule this by setting 'fileformat' in your .vimrc. |
2662 | 3037 |
7 | 3038 For systems with a Dos-like <EOL> (<CR><NL>), when reading files that |
3039 are ":source"ed and for vimrc files, automatic <EOL> detection may be | |
3040 done: | |
3041 - When 'fileformats' is empty, there is no automatic detection. Dos | |
3042 format will be used. | |
3043 - When 'fileformats' is set to one or more names, automatic detection | |
3044 is done. This is based on the first <NL> in the file: If there is a | |
3045 <CR> in front of it, Dos format is used, otherwise Unix format is | |
3046 used. | |
3047 Also see |file-formats|. | |
3048 For backwards compatibility: When this option is set to an empty | |
3049 string or one format (no comma is included), 'textauto' is reset, | |
3050 otherwise 'textauto' is set. | |
3051 NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is | |
3052 set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. | |
3053 | |
4264 | 3054 *'fileignorecase'* *'fic'* *'nofileignorecase'* *'nofic'* |
3055 'fileignorecase' 'fic' boolean (default on for systems where case in file | |
3056 names is normally ignored) | |
4242 | 3057 global |
3058 {not in Vi} | |
3059 When set case is ignored when using file names and directories. | |
3060 See 'wildignorecase' for only ignoring case when doing completion. | |
3061 | |
7 | 3062 *'filetype'* *'ft'* |
3063 'filetype' 'ft' string (default: "") | |
3064 local to buffer | |
3065 {not in Vi} | |
3066 {not available when compiled without the |+autocmd| | |
3067 feature} | |
3068 When this option is set, the FileType autocommand event is triggered. | |
3069 All autocommands that match with the value of this option will be | |
3070 executed. Thus the value of 'filetype' is used in place of the file | |
3071 name. | |
3072 Otherwise this option does not always reflect the current file type. | |
3073 This option is normally set when the file type is detected. To enable | |
3074 this use the ":filetype on" command. |:filetype| | |
3075 Setting this option to a different value is most useful in a modeline, | |
3076 for a file for which the file type is not automatically recognized. | |
782 | 3077 Example, for in an IDL file: |
3078 /* vim: set filetype=idl : */ ~ | |
3079 |FileType| |filetypes| | |
3080 When a dot appears in the value then this separates two filetype | |
3081 names. Example: | |
3082 /* vim: set filetype=c.doxygen : */ ~ | |
3083 This will use the "c" filetype first, then the "doxygen" filetype. | |
3084 This works both for filetype plugins and for syntax files. More than | |
3085 one dot may appear. | |
7 | 3086 This option is not copied to another buffer, independent of the 's' or |
3087 'S' flag in 'cpoptions'. | |
36 | 3088 Only normal file name characters can be used, "/\*?[|<>" are illegal. |
7 | 3089 |
3090 *'fillchars'* *'fcs'* | |
3091 'fillchars' 'fcs' string (default "vert:|,fold:-") | |

3153 its level is higher than 'foldlevel'. Useful if you want folds to | |
3154 automatically close when moving out of them. | |

3195 It is not allowed to change text or jump to another window while | |
3196 evaluating 'foldexpr' |textlock|. | |

3198 *'foldignore'* *'fdi'* | |
3199 'foldignore' 'fdi' string (default: "#") | |
3200 local to window | |
3201 {not in Vi} | |
3202 {not available when compiled without the |+folding| | |
3203 feature} | |
3204 Used only when 'foldmethod' is "indent". Lines starting with | |
3205 characters in 'foldignore' will get their fold level from surrounding | |
10 | 3206 lines. White space is skipped before checking for this character. |
7 | 3207 The default "#" works well for C programs. See |fold-indent|. |
3208 | |
3209 *'foldlevel'* *'fdl'* | |
3210 'foldlevel' 'fdl' number (default: 0) | |
3211 local to window | |
3212 {not in Vi} | |
3213 {not available when compiled without the |+folding| | |
3214 feature} | |
3215 Sets the fold level: Folds with a higher level will be closed. | |
3216 Setting this option to zero will close all folds. Higher numbers will | |
3217 close fewer folds. | |
3218 This option is set by commands like |zm|, |zM| and |zR|. | |
3219 See |fold-foldlevel|. | |
3220 | |
3221 *'foldlevelstart'* *'fdls'* | |
3222 'foldlevelstart' 'fdls' number (default: -1) | |
3223 global | |
3224 {not in Vi} | |
3225 {not available when compiled without the |+folding| | |
3226 feature} | |
3227 Sets 'foldlevel' when starting to edit another buffer in a window. | |
3228 Useful to always start editing with all folds closed (value zero), | |
3229 some folds closed (one) or no folds closed (99). | |
3230 This is done before reading any modeline, thus a setting in a modeline | |
10 | 3231 overrules this option. Starting to edit a file for |diff-mode| also |
7 | 3232 ignores this option and closes all folds. |
3233 It is also done before BufReadPre autocommands, to allow an autocmd to | |
3234 overrule the 'foldlevel' value for specific files. | |
3235 When the value is negative, it is not used. | |
3236 | |
3237 *'foldmarker'* *'fmr'* *E536* | |
3238 'foldmarker' 'fmr' string (default: "{{{,}}}") | |
3239 local to window | |
3240 {not in Vi} | |
3241 {not available when compiled without the |+folding| | |
3242 feature} | |
3243 The start and end marker used when 'foldmethod' is "marker". There | |
3244 must be one comma, which separates the start and end marker. The | |
3245 marker is a literal string (a regular expression would be too slow). | |
3246 See |fold-marker|. | |
3247 | |
3248 *'foldmethod'* *'fdm'* | |
3249 'foldmethod' 'fdm' string (default: "manual") | |
3250 local to window | |
3251 {not in Vi} | |
3252 {not available when compiled without the |+folding| | |
3253 feature} | |
3254 The kind of folding used for the current window. Possible values: | |
3255 |fold-manual| manual Folds are created manually. | |
3256 |fold-indent| indent Lines with equal indent form a fold. | |
3257 |fold-expr| expr 'foldexpr' gives the fold level of a line. | |
3258 |fold-marker| marker Markers are used to specify folds. | |
3259 |fold-syntax| syntax Syntax highlighting items specify folds. | |
3260 |fold-diff| diff Fold text that is not changed. | |
3261 | |
3262 *'foldminlines'* *'fml'* | |
3263 'foldminlines' 'fml' number (default: 1) | |
3264 local to window | |
3265 {not in Vi} | |
3266 {not available when compiled without the |+folding| | |
3267 feature} | |
2709 | 3268 Sets the number of screen lines above which a fold can be displayed |
3269 closed. Also for manually closed folds. With the default value of | |
3270 one a fold can only be closed if it takes up two or more screen lines. | |
3271 Set to zero to be able to close folds of just one screen line. | |
2826 | 3272 Note that this only has an effect on what is displayed. After using |
7 | 3273 "zc" to close a fold, which is displayed open because it's smaller |
3274 than 'foldminlines', a following "zc" may close a containing fold. | |
3275 | |
3276 *'foldnestmax'* *'fdn'* | |
3277 'foldnestmax' 'fdn' number (default: 20) | |
3278 local to window | |
3279 {not in Vi} | |
3280 {not available when compiled without the |+folding| | |
3281 feature} | |
3282 Sets the maximum nesting of folds for the "indent" and "syntax" | |
3283 methods. This avoids that too many folds will be created. Using more | |
3284 than 20 doesn't work, because the internal limit is 20. | |
3285 | |
3286 *'foldopen'* *'fdo'* | |
3287 'foldopen' 'fdo' string (default: "block,hor,mark,percent,quickfix, | |
3288 search,tag,undo") | |
3289 global | |
3290 {not in Vi} | |
3291 {not available when compiled without the |+folding| | |
3292 feature} | |
3293 Specifies for which type of commands folds will be opened, if the | |
3294 command moves the cursor into a closed fold. It is a comma separated | |
3295 list of items. | |
2625 | 3296 NOTE: When the command is part of a mapping this option is not used. |
3297 Add the |zv| command to the mapping to get the same effect. | |
3298 (rationale: the mapping may want to control opening folds itself) | |
3299 | |
7 | 3300 item commands ~ |
3301 all any | |
3302 block "(", "{", "[[", "[{", etc. | |
3303 hor horizontal movements: "l", "w", "fx", etc. | |
3304 insert any command in Insert mode | |
3305 jump far jumps: "G", "gg", etc. | |
3306 mark jumping to a mark: "'m", CTRL-O, etc. | |
3307 percent "%" | |
3308 quickfix ":cn", ":crew", ":make", etc. | |
3309 search search for a pattern: "/", "n", "*", "gd", etc. | |
3310 (not for a search pattern in a ":" command) | |
819 | 3311 Also for |[s| and |]s|. |
7 | 3312 tag jumping to a tag: ":ta", CTRL-T, etc. |
3313 undo undo or redo: "u" and CTRL-R | |
3314 When a movement command is used for an operator (e.g., "dl" or "y%") | |
3315 this option is not used. This means the operator will include the | |
3316 whole closed fold. | |
3317 Note that vertical movements are not here, because it would make it | |
3318 very difficult to move onto a closed fold. | |
3319 In insert mode the folds containing the cursor will always be open | |
3320 when text is inserted. | |
3321 To close folds you can re-apply 'foldlevel' with the |zx| command or | |
3322 set the 'foldclose' option to "all". | |
3323 | |
3324 *'foldtext'* *'fdt'* | |
3325 'foldtext' 'fdt' string (default: "foldtext()") | |
3326 local to window | |
3327 {not in Vi} | |
3328 {not available when compiled without the |+folding| | |
3329 feature} | |
3330 An expression which is used to specify the text displayed for a closed | |
3331 fold. See |fold-foldtext|. | |
3332 | |
3682 | 3333 The expression will be evaluated in the |sandbox| if set from a |
3334 modeline, see |sandbox-option|. | |
634 | 3335 |
3336 It is not allowed to change text or jump to another window while | |
3337 evaluating 'foldtext' |textlock|. | |
3338 | |
7 | 3339 *'formatoptions'* *'fo'* |
3340 'formatoptions' 'fo' string (Vim default: "tcq", Vi default: "vt") | |
3341 local to buffer | |
3342 {not in Vi} | |
3343 This is a sequence of letters which describes how automatic | |
3344 formatting is to be done. See |fo-table|. When the 'paste' option is | |
3345 on, no formatting is done (like 'formatoptions' is empty). Commas can | |
3346 be inserted for readability. | |
3347 To avoid problems with flags that are added in the future, use the | |
3348 "+=" and "-=" feature of ":set" |add-option-flags|. | |
3349 NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is | |
3350 set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. | |
3351 | |
41 | 3352 *'formatlistpat'* *'flp'* |
3353 'formatlistpat' 'flp' string (default: "^\s*\d\+[\]:.)}\t ]\s*") | |
3354 local to buffer | |
3355 {not in Vi} | |
3356 A pattern that is used to recognize a list header. This is used for | |
3357 the "n" flag in 'formatoptions'. | |
3358 The pattern must match exactly the text that will be the indent for | |
140 | 3359 the line below it. You can use |/\ze| to mark the end of the match |
41 | 3360 while still checking more characters. There must be a character |
3361 following the pattern, when it matches the whole line it is handled | |
3362 like there is no match. | |
3363 The default recognizes a number, followed by an optional punctuation | |
3364 character and white space. | |
3365 | |
7 | 3366 *'formatprg'* *'fp'* |
3367 'formatprg' 'fp' string (default "") | |
3368 global | |
3369 {not in Vi} | |
3370 The name of an external program that will be used to format the lines | |
667 | 3371 selected with the |gq| operator. The program must take the input on |
7 | 3372 stdin and produce the output on stdout. The Unix program "fmt" is |
557 | 3373 such a program. |
667 | 3374 If the 'formatexpr' option is not empty it will be used instead. |
3375 Otherwise, if 'formatprg' option is an empty string, the internal | |
3376 format function will be used |C-indenting|. | |
557 | 3377 Environment variables are expanded |:set_env|. See |option-backslash| |
3378 about including spaces and backslashes. | |
3682 | 3379 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for |
3380 security reasons. | |
667 | 3381 |
3382 *'formatexpr'* *'fex'* | |
3383 'formatexpr' 'fex' string (default "") | |

3419 global | |
3420 {not in Vi} | |
3421 When on, the library function fsync() will be called after writing a | |
3422 file. This will flush a file to disk, ensuring that it is safely | |
3423 written even on filesystems which do metadata-only journaling. This | |
3424 will force the harddrive to spin up on Linux systems running in laptop | |
3425 mode, so it may be undesirable in some situations. Be warned that | |
3426 turning this off increases the chances of data loss after a crash. On | |
3427 systems without an fsync() implementation, this variable is always | |
3428 off. | |
3429 Also see 'swapsync' for controlling fsync() on swap files. | |

3435 When on, the ":substitute" flag 'g' is default on. This means that | |
3436 all matches in a line are substituted instead of one. When a 'g' flag | |
3437 is given to a ":substitute" command, this will toggle the substitution | |
3438 of all or one match. See |complex-change|. | |

233 | 3462 Program to use for the |:grep| command. This option may contain '%' |
7 | 3463 and '#' characters, which are expanded like when used in a command- |
3464 line. The placeholder "$*" is allowed to specify where the arguments | |
3465 will be included. Environment variables are expanded |:set_env|. See | |
3466 |option-backslash| about including spaces and backslashes. | |
3467 When your "grep" accepts the "-H" argument, use this to make ":grep" | |
3468 also work well with a single file: > | |
3469 :set grepprg=grep\ -nH | |
161 | 3470 < Special value: When 'grepprg' is set to "internal" the |:grep| command |
657 | 3471 works like |:vimgrep|, |:lgrep| like |:lvimgrep|, |:grepadd| like |
3472 |:vimgrepadd| and |:lgrepadd| like |:lvimgrepadd|. | |
41 | 3473 See also the section |:make_makeprg|, since most of the comments there |
7 | 3474 apply equally to 'grepprg'. |
3475 For Win32, the default is "findstr /n" if "findstr.exe" can be found, | |
3476 otherwise it's "grep -n". | |
3477 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for | |

3491 global | |
3492 {not in Vi} | |
3493 {only available when compiled with GUI enabled, and | |
3494 for MS-DOS and Win32 console} | |
3495 This option tells Vim what the cursor should look like in different | |
10 | 3496 modes. It fully works in the GUI. In an MSDOS or Win32 console, only |
7 | 3497 the height of the cursor can be changed. This can be done by |
3498 specifying a block cursor, or a percentage for a vertical or | |
3499 horizontal cursor. | |
6727 | 3500 For a console the 't_SI', 't_SR', and 't_EI' escape sequences are |
3501 used. | |
7 | 3502 |
10 | 3503 The option is a comma separated list of parts. Each part consist of a |
7 | 3504 mode-list and an argument-list: |
3505 mode-list:argument-list,mode-list:argument-list,.. | |
3506 The mode-list is a dash separated list of these modes: | |
3507 n Normal mode | |
3508 v Visual mode | |
3509 ve Visual mode with 'selection' "exclusive" (same as 'v', | |
3510 if not specified) | |
3511 o Operator-pending mode | |
3512 i Insert mode | |
3513 r Replace mode | |
3514 c Command-line Normal (append) mode | |
3515 ci Command-line Insert mode | |
3516 cr Command-line Replace mode | |
3517 sm showmatch in Insert mode | |
3518 a all modes | |
3519 The argument-list is a dash separated list of these arguments: | |
3520 hor{N} horizontal bar, {N} percent of the character height | |
3521 ver{N} vertical bar, {N} percent of the character width | |
3522 block block cursor, fills the whole character | |
3523 [only one of the above three should be present] | |
3524 blinkwait{N} *cursor-blinking* | |
3525 blinkon{N} | |
3526 blinkoff{N} | |
3527 blink times for cursor: blinkwait is the delay before | |
3528 the cursor starts blinking, blinkon is the time that | |
3529 the cursor is shown and blinkoff is the time that the | |
3530 cursor is not shown. The times are in msec. When one | |
3531 of the numbers is zero, there is no blinking. The | |
3532 default is: "blinkwait700-blinkon400-blinkoff250". | |
3533 These numbers are used for a missing entry. This | |
3534 means that blinking is enabled by default. To switch | |
3535 blinking off you can use "blinkon0". The cursor only | |
3536 blinks when Vim is waiting for input, not while | |
3537 executing a command. | |
3538 To make the cursor blink in an xterm, see | |
3539 |xterm-blink|. | |
3540 {group-name} | |
3541 a highlight group name, that sets the color and font | |
3542 for the cursor | |
3543 {group-name}/{group-name} | |
3544 Two highlight group names, the first is used when | |
3545 no language mappings are used, the other when they | |
3546 are. |language-mapping| | |
3547 | |
3548 Examples of parts: | |
3549 n-c-v:block-nCursor in Normal, Command-line and Visual mode, use a | |
3550 block cursor with colors from the "nCursor" | |
3551 highlight group | |
3552 i-ci:ver30-iCursor-blinkwait300-blinkon200-blinkoff150 | |
3553 In Insert and Command-line Insert mode, use a | |
3554 30% vertical bar cursor with colors from the | |
3555 "iCursor" highlight group. Blink a bit | |
3556 faster. | |
3557 | |
3558 The 'a' mode is different. It will set the given argument-list for | |
3559 all modes. It does not reset anything to defaults. This can be used | |
3560 to do a common setting for all modes. For example, to switch off | |
3561 blinking: "a:blinkon0" | |
3562 | |
3563 Examples of cursor highlighting: > | |
3564 :highlight Cursor gui=reverse guifg=NONE guibg=NONE | |
3565 :highlight Cursor gui=NONE guifg=bg guibg=fg | |
3566 < | |
3567 *'guifont'* *'gfn'* | |
2908 | 3568 *E235* *E596* |
7 | 3569 'guifont' 'gfn' string (default "") |
3570 global | |
3571 {not in Vi} | |
3572 {only available when compiled with GUI enabled} | |
3573 This is a list of fonts which will be used for the GUI version of Vim. | |
3574 In its simplest form the value is just one font name. When | |
3575 the font cannot be found you will get an error message. To try other | |
3576 font names a list can be specified, font names separated with commas. | |
3577 The first valid font is used. | |
8 | 3578 |
170 | 3579 On systems where 'guifontset' is supported (X11) and 'guifontset' is |
3580 not empty, then 'guifont' is not used. | |
8 | 3581 |
7 | 3582 Spaces after a comma are ignored. To include a comma in a font name |
3583 precede it with a backslash. Setting an option requires an extra | |
3584 backslash before a space and a backslash. See also | |
3585 |option-backslash|. For example: > | |
3586 :set guifont=Screen15,\ 7x13,font\\,with\\,commas | |
8 | 3587 < will make Vim try to use the font "Screen15" first, and if it fails it |
7 | 3588 will try to use "7x13" and then "font,with,commas" instead. |
8 | 3589 |
3590 If none of the fonts can be loaded, Vim will keep the current setting. | |
3591 If an empty font list is given, Vim will try using other resource | |
3592 settings (for X, it will use the Vim.font resource), and finally it | |
3593 will try some builtin default which should always be there ("7x13" in | |
3594 the case of X). The font names given should be "normal" fonts. Vim | |
3595 will try to find the related bold and italic fonts. | |

3658 When not empty, specifies two (or more) fonts to be used. The first | |
3659 one for normal English, the second one for your special language. See | |
3660 |xfontset|. | |
3661 Setting this option also means that all font names will be handled as | |
3662 a fontset name. Also the ones used for the "font" argument of the | |
3663 |:highlight| command. | |
3664 The fonts must match with the current locale. If fonts for the | |
3665 character sets that the current locale uses are not included, setting | |
3666 'guifontset' will fail. | |
3667 Note the difference between 'guifont' and 'guifontset': In 'guifont' | |
3668 the comma-separated names are alternative names, one of which will be | |
3669 used. In 'guifontset' the whole string is one fontset name, | |
3670 including the commas. It is not possible to specify alternative | |
3671 fontset names. | |

3680 When not empty, specifies a comma-separated list of fonts to be used | |
3681 for double-width characters. The first font that can be loaded is | |
3682 used. | |
3683 Note: The size of these fonts must be exactly twice as wide as the one | |
3684 specified with 'guifont' and the same height. | |
3685 | |
3686 All GUI versions but GTK+ 2: | |
3687 | |
3688 'guifontwide' is only used when 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" and | |
3689 'guifontset' is empty or invalid. | |
3690 When 'guifont' is set and a valid font is found in it and | |
3691 'guifontwide' is empty Vim will attempt to find a matching | |
3692 double-width font and set 'guifontwide' to it. | |
3693 | |
3694 GTK+ 2 GUI only: *guifontwide_gtk2* | |
3695 | |
3696 If set and valid, 'guifontwide' is always used for double width | |
3697 characters, even if 'encoding' is not set to "utf-8". | |
3698 Vim does not attempt to find an appropriate value for 'guifontwide' | |
10 | 3699 automatically. If 'guifontwide' is empty Pango/Xft will choose the |
7 | 3700 font for characters not available in 'guifont'. Thus you do not need |
3701 to set 'guifontwide' at all unless you want to override the choice | |
3702 made by Pango/Xft. | |

3712 The number of pixels subtracted from the screen height when fitting | |
3713 the GUI window on the screen. Set this before the GUI is started, | |
3714 e.g., in your |gvimrc| file. When zero, the whole screen height will | |
10 | 3715 be used by the window. When positive, the specified number of pixel |
7 | 3716 lines will be left for window decorations and other items on the |
3717 screen. Set it to a negative value to allow windows taller than the | |

3724 {not in Vi} | |
3725 {only available when compiled with GUI enabled} | |
8 | 3726 This option only has an effect in the GUI version of Vim. It is a |
7 | 3727 sequence of letters which describes what components and options of the |
3728 GUI should be used. | |
3729 To avoid problems with flags that are added in the future, use the | |
3730 "+=" and "-=" feature of ":set" |add-option-flags|. | |
3731 | |
3732 Valid letters are as follows: | |
1152 | 3733 *guioptions_a* *'go-a'* |
7 | 3734 'a' Autoselect: If present, then whenever VISUAL mode is started, |
3735 or the Visual area extended, Vim tries to become the owner of | |
3736 the windowing system's global selection. This means that the | |
3737 Visually highlighted text is available for pasting into other | |
3738 applications as well as into Vim itself. When the Visual mode | |
3739 ends, possibly due to an operation on the text, or when an | |
3740 application wants to paste the selection, the highlighted text | |
3741 is automatically yanked into the "* selection register. | |
3742 Thus the selection is still available for pasting into other | |
3743 applications after the VISUAL mode has ended. | |
3744 If not present, then Vim won't become the owner of the | |
3745 windowing system's global selection unless explicitly told to | |
3746 by a yank or delete operation for the "* register. | |
3747 The same applies to the modeless selection. | |
3674 | 3748 *'go-P'* |
3749 'P' Like autoselect but using the "+ register instead of the "* | |

1152 | 3761 *'go-c'* |
7 | 3762 'c' Use console dialogs instead of popup dialogs for simple |
3763 choices. | |
1152 | 3764 *'go-e'* |
697 | 3765 'e' Add tab pages when indicated with 'showtabline'. |
688 | 3766 'guitablabel' can be used to change the text in the labels. |
3767 When 'e' is missing a non-GUI tab pages line may be used. | |
857 | 3768 The GUI tabs are only supported on some systems, currently |
1621 | 3769 GTK, Motif, Mac OS/X and MS-Windows. |
1152 | 3770 *'go-f'* |
7 | 3771 'f' Foreground: Don't use fork() to detach the GUI from the shell |
3772 where it was started. Use this for programs that wait for the | |
3773 editor to finish (e.g., an e-mail program). Alternatively you | |
3774 can use "gvim -f" or ":gui -f" to start the GUI in the | |
3775 foreground. |gui-fork| | |
3776 Note: Set this option in the vimrc file. The forking may have | |
819 | 3777 happened already when the |gvimrc| file is read. |
1152 | 3778 *'go-i'* |
7 | 3779 'i' Use a Vim icon. For GTK with KDE it is used in the left-upper |
3780 corner of the window. It's black&white on non-GTK, because of | |
3781 limitations of X11. For a color icon, see |X11-icon|. | |

3906 Comma separated list of languages. Vim will use the first language | |
3907 for which the desired help can be found. The English help will always | |
3908 be used as a last resort. You can add "en" to prefer English over | |
3909 another language, but that will only find tags that exist in that | |
3910 language and not in the English help. | |
3911 Example: > | |
3912 :set helplang=de,it | |

3914 files. | |
3915 When using |CTRL-]| and ":help!" in a non-English help file Vim will | |

3924 buffer becomes hidden when it is |abandon|ed. If the buffer is still | |
3925 displayed in another window, it does not become hidden, of course. | |
3926 The commands that move through the buffer list sometimes make a buffer | |
3927 hidden although the 'hidden' option is off: When the buffer is | |
3928 modified, 'autowrite' is off or writing is not possible, and the '!' | |
10 | 3929 flag was used. See also |windows.txt|. |
12 | 3930 To only make one buffer hidden use the 'bufhidden' option. |
7 | 3931 This option is set for one command with ":hide {command}" |:hide|. |
3932 WARNING: It's easy to forget that you have changes in hidden buffers. | |

3224 | 4031 off with |:nohlsearch|. This does not change the option value, as |
4032 soon as you use a search command, the highlighting comes back. | |
1621 | 4033 'redrawtime' specifies the maximum time spent on finding matches. |
7 | 4034 When the search pattern can match an end-of-line, Vim will try to |
4035 highlight all of the matched text. However, this depends on where the | |
10 | 4036 search starts. This will be the first line in the window or the first |
7 | 4037 line below a closed fold. A match in a previous line which is not |
819 | 4038 drawn may not continue in a newly drawn line. |
3224 | 4039 You can specify whether the highlight status is restored on startup |
4040 with the 'h' flag in 'viminfo' |viminfo-h|. | |
7 | 4041 NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. |

4046 {not in Vi} | |
4047 A history of ":" commands, and a history of previous search patterns | |
5991 | 4048 is remembered. This option decides how many entries may be stored in |
7 | 4049 each of these histories (see |cmdline-editing|). |
5991 | 4050 The maximum value is 10000. |
7 | 4051 NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is |
4052 set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. | |

4082 When on, the icon text of the window will be set to the value of | |
4083 'iconstring' (if it is not empty), or to the name of the file | |
4084 currently being edited. Only the last part of the name is used. | |
4085 Overridden by the 'iconstring' option. | |
4086 Only works if the terminal supports setting window icons (currently | |
4087 only X11 GUI and terminals with a non-empty 't_IS' option - these are | |
4088 Unix xterm and iris-ansi by default, where 't_IS' is taken from the | |
4089 builtin termcap). | |
4090 When Vim was compiled with HAVE_X11 defined, the original icon will be | |
233 | 4091 restored if possible |X11|. See |X11-icon| for changing the icon on |
7 | 4092 X11. |

4105 Does not work for MS Windows. | |
4106 When Vim was compiled with HAVE_X11 defined, the original icon will be | |

17 | 4301 While typing a search command, show where the pattern, as it was typed |
4302 so far, matches. The matched string is highlighted. If the pattern | |
4303 is invalid or not found, nothing is shown. The screen will be updated | |
4304 often, this is only useful on fast terminals. | |
4305 Note that the match will be shown, but the cursor will return to its | |
4306 original position when no match is found and when pressing <Esc>. You | |
4307 still need to finish the search command with <Enter> to move the | |
4308 cursor to the match. | |
1521 | 4309 When compiled with the |+reltime| feature Vim only searches for about |
4310 half a second. With a complicated pattern and/or a lot of text the | |
4311 match may not be found. This is to avoid that Vim hangs while you | |
4312 are typing the pattern. | |
17 | 4313 The highlighting can be set with the 'i' flag in 'highlight'. |
4314 See also: 'hlsearch'. | |

4322 | |
4323 *'indentexpr'* *'inde'* | |
4324 'indentexpr' 'inde' string (default "") | |
4325 local to buffer | |
4326 {not in Vi} | |
4327 {not available when compiled without the |+cindent| | |
4328 or |+eval| features} | |
4329 Expression which is evaluated to obtain the proper indent for a line. | |
4330 It is used when a new line is created, for the |=| operator and | |
4331 in Insert mode as specified with the 'indentkeys' option. | |
4332 When this option is not empty, it overrules the 'cindent' and | |
2833 | 4333 'smartindent' indenting. When 'lisp' is set, this option is |
4334 overridden by the Lisp indentation algorithm. | |
7 | 4335 When 'paste' is set this option is not used for indenting. |
4336 The expression is evaluated with |v:lnum| set to the line number for | |
534 | 4337 which the indent is to be computed. The cursor is also in this line |
7 | 4338 when the expression is evaluated (but it may be moved around). |
4339 The expression must return the number of spaces worth of indent. It | |
4340 can return "-1" to keep the current indent (this means 'autoindent' is | |
4341 used for the indent). | |
4342 Functions useful for computing the indent are |indent()|, |cindent()| | |
4343 and |lispindent()|. | |
4344 The evaluation of the expression must not have side effects! It must | |
4345 not change the text, jump to another window, etc. Afterwards the | |
4346 cursor position is always restored, thus the cursor may be moved. | |
4347 Normally this option would be set to call a function: > | |
4348 :set indentexpr=GetMyIndent() | |
4349 < Error messages will be suppressed, unless the 'debug' option contains | |
4350 "msg". | |
634 | 4351 See |indent-expression|. |
7 | 4352 NOTE: This option is made empty when 'compatible' is set. |
4353 | |
3682 | 4354 The expression will be evaluated in the |sandbox| when set from a |
4355 modeline, see |sandbox-option|. | |
634 | 4356 |
4357 It is not allowed to change text or jump to another window while | |
4358 evaluating 'indentexpr' |textlock|. | |
4359 | |
4360 | |
7 | 4361 *'indentkeys'* *'indk'* |
4362 'indentkeys' 'indk' string (default "0{,0},:,0#,!^F,o,O,e") | |
4363 local to buffer | |
4364 {not in Vi} | |
4365 {not available when compiled without the |+cindent| | |
4366 feature} | |
4367 A list of keys that, when typed in Insert mode, cause reindenting of | |
4368 the current line. Only happens if 'indentexpr' isn't empty. | |
4369 The format is identical to 'cinkeys', see |indentkeys-format|. | |
4370 See |C-indenting| and |indent-expression|. | |
4371 | |
4372 *'infercase'* *'inf'* *'noinfercase'* *'noinf'* | |
4373 'infercase' 'inf' boolean (default off) | |
4374 local to buffer | |
4375 {not in Vi} | |
4376 When doing keyword completion in insert mode |ins-completion|, and | |
1621 | 4377 'ignorecase' is also on, the case of the match is adjusted depending |
4378 on the typed text. If the typed text contains a lowercase letter | |
4379 where the match has an upper case letter, the completed part is made | |
4380 lowercase. If the typed text has no lowercase letters and the match | |
4381 has a lowercase letter where the typed text has an uppercase letter, | |
4382 and there is a letter before it, the completed part is made uppercase. | |
4383 With 'noinfercase' the match is used as-is. | |
7 | 4384 |
4385 *'insertmode'* *'im'* *'noinsertmode'* *'noim'* | |
4386 'insertmode' 'im' boolean (default off) | |
4387 global | |
4388 {not in Vi} | |
4389 Makes Vim work in a way that Insert mode is the default mode. Useful | |
4390 if you want to use Vim as a modeless editor. Used for |evim|. | |
4391 These Insert mode commands will be useful: | |
4392 - Use the cursor keys to move around. | |
4393 - Use CTRL-O to execute one Normal mode command |i_CTRL-O|). When | |
4394 this is a mapping, it is executed as if 'insertmode' was off. | |
4395 Normal mode remains active until the mapping is finished. | |
4396 - Use CTRL-L to execute a number of Normal mode commands, then use | |
477 | 4397 <Esc> to get back to Insert mode. Note that CTRL-L moves the cursor |
4398 left, like <Esc> does when 'insertmode' isn't set. |i_CTRL-L| | |
7 | 4399 |
4400 These items change when 'insertmode' is set: | |
4401 - when starting to edit of a file, Vim goes to Insert mode. | |
4402 - <Esc> in Insert mode is a no-op and beeps. | |
4403 - <Esc> in Normal mode makes Vim go to Insert mode. | |
4404 - CTRL-L in Insert mode is a command, it is not inserted. | |
4405 - CTRL-Z in Insert mode suspends Vim, see |CTRL-Z|. *i_CTRL-Z* | |
4406 However, when <Esc> is used inside a mapping, it behaves like | |
4407 'insertmode' was not set. This was done to be able to use the same | |
4408 mappings with 'insertmode' set or not set. | |
4409 When executing commands with |:normal| 'insertmode' is not used. | |
4410 | |
4411 NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. | |
4412 | |
4413 *'isfname'* *'isf'* | |
4414 'isfname' 'isf' string (default for MS-DOS, Win32 and OS/2: | |
4415 "@,48-57,/,\,.,-,_,+,,,#,$,%,{,},[,],:,@-@,!,~,=" | |
4416 for AMIGA: "@,48-57,/,.,-,_,+,,,$,:" | |
4417 for VMS: "@,48-57,/,.,-,_,+,,,#,$,%,<,>,[,],:,;,~" | |
4418 for OS/390: "@,240-249,/,.,-,_,+,,,#,$,%,~,=" | |
4419 otherwise: "@,48-57,/,.,-,_,+,,,#,$,%,~,=") | |
4420 global | |
4421 {not in Vi} | |
4422 The characters specified by this option are included in file names and | |
4423 path names. Filenames are used for commands like "gf", "[i" and in | |
10 | 4424 the tags file. It is also used for "\f" in a |pattern|. |
7 | 4425 Multi-byte characters 256 and above are always included, only the |
4426 characters up to 255 are specified with this option. | |
4427 For UTF-8 the characters 0xa0 to 0xff are included as well. | |
1621 | 4428 Think twice before adding white space to this option. Although a |
4429 space may appear inside a file name, the effect will be that Vim | |
4430 doesn't know where a file name starts or ends when doing completion. | |
4431 It most likely works better without a space in 'isfname'. | |
7 | 4432 |
4433 Note that on systems using a backslash as path separator, Vim tries to | |
4434 do its best to make it work as you would expect. That is a bit | |
4435 tricky, since Vi originally used the backslash to escape special | |
4436 characters. Vim will not remove a backslash in front of a normal file | |
4437 name character on these systems, but it will on Unix and alikes. The | |
4438 '&' and '^' are not included by default, because these are special for | |
4439 cmd.exe. | |
4440 | |
4441 The format of this option is a list of parts, separated with commas. | |
10 | 4442 Each part can be a single character number or a range. A range is two |
4443 character numbers with '-' in between. A character number can be a | |
7 | 4444 decimal number between 0 and 255 or the ASCII character itself (does |
4445 not work for digits). Example: | |
4446 "_,-,128-140,#-43" (include '_' and '-' and the range | |
4447 128 to 140 and '#' to 43) | |
4448 If a part starts with '^', the following character number or range | |
4449 will be excluded from the option. The option is interpreted from left | |
4450 to right. Put the excluded character after the range where it is | |
4451 included. To include '^' itself use it as the last character of the | |
4452 option or the end of a range. Example: | |
4453 "^a-z,#,^" (exclude 'a' to 'z', include '#' and '^') | |
4454 If the character is '@', all characters where isalpha() returns TRUE | |
4455 are included. Normally these are the characters a to z and A to Z, | |
4456 plus accented characters. To include '@' itself use "@-@". Examples: | |
4457 "@,^a-z" All alphabetic characters, excluding lower | |
1621 | 4458 case ASCII letters. |
7 | 4459 "a-z,A-Z,@-@" All letters plus the '@' character. |
4460 A comma can be included by using it where a character number is | |
4461 expected. Example: | |
4462 "48-57,,,_" Digits, comma and underscore. | |
4463 A comma can be excluded by prepending a '^'. Example: | |
4464 " -~,^,,9" All characters from space to '~', excluding | |
4465 comma, plus <Tab>. | |
4466 See |option-backslash| about including spaces and backslashes. | |
4467 | |
4468 *'isident'* *'isi'* | |
4469 'isident' 'isi' string (default for MS-DOS, Win32 and OS/2: | |
4470 "@,48-57,_,128-167,224-235" | |
4471 otherwise: "@,48-57,_,192-255") | |
4472 global | |
4473 {not in Vi} | |
4474 The characters given by this option are included in identifiers. | |
4475 Identifiers are used in recognizing environment variables and after a | |
4476 match of the 'define' option. It is also used for "\i" in a | |
233 | 4477 |pattern|. See 'isfname' for a description of the format of this |
7 | 4478 option. |
4479 Careful: If you change this option, it might break expanding | |
10 | 4480 environment variables. E.g., when '/' is included and Vim tries to |
7 | 4481 expand "$HOME/.viminfo". Maybe you should change 'iskeyword' instead. |
4482 | |
4483 *'iskeyword'* *'isk'* | |
4484 'iskeyword' 'isk' string (Vim default for MS-DOS and Win32: | |
4485 "@,48-57,_,128-167,224-235" | |
4486 otherwise: "@,48-57,_,192-255" | |
4487 Vi default: "@,48-57,_") | |
4488 local to buffer | |
4489 {not in Vi} | |
4490 Keywords are used in searching and recognizing with many commands: | |
10 | 4491 "w", "*", "[i", etc. It is also used for "\k" in a |pattern|. See |
7 | 4492 'isfname' for a description of the format of this option. For C |
4493 programs you could use "a-z,A-Z,48-57,_,.,-,>". | |
4494 For a help file it is set to all non-blank printable characters except | |
4495 '*', '"' and '|' (so that CTRL-] on a command finds the help for that | |
4496 command). | |
4497 When the 'lisp' option is on the '-' character is always included. | |

4508 The characters given by this option are displayed directly on the | |
4509 screen. It is also used for "\p" in a |pattern|. The characters from | |
4510 space (ASCII 32) to '~' (ASCII 126) are always displayed directly, | |
4511 even when they are not included in 'isprint' or excluded. See | |
4512 'isfname' for a description of the format of this option. | |
4513 | |
4514 Non-printable characters are displayed with two characters: | |

4616 inserted directly. When in Normal mode the 'langmap' option takes |
7 | 4617 care of translating these special characters to the original meaning |
4618 of the key. This means you don't have to change the keyboard mode to | |
4619 be able to execute Normal mode commands. | |
4620 This is the opposite of the 'keymap' option, where characters are | |
4621 mapped in Insert mode. | |
6369 | 4622 Also consider setting 'langnoremap' to avoid 'langmap' applies to |
4623 characters resulting from a mapping. | |
5908 | 4624 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for |
4625 security reasons. | |
7 | 4626 |
699 | 4627 Example (for Greek, in UTF-8): *greek* > |
4628 :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 | 4629 < Example (exchanges meaning of z and y for commands): > |
4630 :set langmap=zy,yz,ZY,YZ | |
4631 < | |
4632 The 'langmap' option is a list of parts, separated with commas. Each | |
4633 part can be in one of two forms: | |
4634 1. A list of pairs. Each pair is a "from" character immediately | |
4635 followed by the "to" character. Examples: "aA", "aAbBcC". | |
4636 2. A list of "from" characters, a semi-colon and a list of "to" | |
4637 characters. Example: "abc;ABC" | |
4638 Example: "aA,fgh;FGH,cCdDeE" | |
4639 Special characters need to be preceded with a backslash. These are | |
4640 ";", ',' and backslash itself. | |
4641 | |
4642 This will allow you to activate vim actions without having to switch | |
4643 back and forth between the languages. Your language characters will | |
4644 be understood as normal vim English characters (according to the | |
4645 langmap mappings) in the following cases: | |
4646 o Normal/Visual mode (commands, buffer/register names, user mappings) | |
4647 o Insert/Replace Mode: Register names after CTRL-R | |
4648 o Insert/Replace Mode: Mappings | |
4649 Characters entered in Command-line mode will NOT be affected by | |
4650 this option. Note that this option can be changed at any time | |
4651 allowing to switch between mappings for different languages/encodings. | |
4652 Use a mapping to avoid having to type it each time! | |

4673 this option has no effect. But you could do this: > | |

4681 global | |
4682 {not in Vi} | |
4683 {only available when compiled with the |+langmap| | |
4684 feature} | |
4685 When on, setting 'langmap' does not apply to characters resulting from | |
4686 a mapping. This basically means, if you noticed that setting | |
4687 'langmap' disables some of your mappings, try setting this option. | |
4688 This option defaults to off for backwards compatibility. Set it on if | |
4689 that works for you to avoid mappings to break. | |

4716 {not available when compiled without the |+linebreak| |
7 | 4717 feature} |
6009 | 4718 If on, Vim will wrap long lines at a character in 'breakat' rather |
7 | 4719 than at the last character that fits on the screen. Unlike |
4720 'wrapmargin' and 'textwidth', this does not insert <EOL>s in the file, | |
6009 | 4721 it only affects the way the file is displayed, not its contents. |
4722 If 'breakindent' is set, line is visually indented. Then, the value | |
4723 of 'showbreak' is used to put in front of wrapped lines. This option | |
6026 | 4724 is not used when the 'wrap' option is off. |
7 | 4725 Note that <Tab> characters after an <EOL> are mostly not displayed |
4726 with the right amount of white space. | |
4727 | |
4728 *'lines'* *E593* | |
4729 'lines' number (default 24 or terminal height) | |
4730 global | |
4731 Number of lines of the Vim window. | |
4732 Normally you don't need to set this. It is done automatically by the | |
161 | 4733 terminal initialization code. Also see |posix-screen-size|. |
7 | 4734 When Vim is running in the GUI or in a resizable window, setting this |
4735 option will cause the window size to be changed. When you only want | |
4736 to use the size for the GUI, put the command in your |gvimrc| file. | |
4737 Vim limits the number of lines to what fits on the screen. You can | |
4738 use this command to get the tallest window possible: > | |
4739 :set lines=999 | |
571 | 4740 < Minimum value is 2, maximum value is 1000. |
4741 If you get less lines than expected, check the 'guiheadroom' option. | |
7 | 4742 When you set this option and Vim is unable to change the physical |
4743 number of lines of the display, the display may be messed up. | |
4744 | |
4745 *'linespace'* *'lsp'* | |
4746 'linespace' 'lsp' number (default 0, 1 for Win32 GUI) | |
4747 global | |
4748 {not in Vi} | |
4749 {only in the GUI} | |
4750 Number of pixel lines inserted between characters. Useful if the font | |
4751 uses the full character cell height, making lines touch each other. | |
4752 When non-zero there is room for underlining. | |
180 | 4753 With some fonts there can be too much room between lines (to have |
4754 space for ascents and descents). Then it makes sense to set | |
4755 'linespace' to a negative value. This may cause display problems | |
4756 though! | |
7 | 4757 |
4758 *'lisp'* *'nolisp'* | |
4759 'lisp' boolean (default off) | |
4760 local to buffer | |
4761 {not available when compiled without the |+lispindent| | |
4762 feature} | |
4763 Lisp mode: When <Enter> is typed in insert mode set the indent for | |
4764 the next line to Lisp standards (well, sort of). Also happens with | |
4765 "cc" or "S". 'autoindent' must also be on for this to work. The 'p' | |
4766 flag in 'cpoptions' changes the method of indenting: Vi compatible or | |
4767 better. Also see 'lispwords'. | |
4768 The '-' character is included in keyword characters. Redefines the | |
4769 "=" operator to use this same indentation algorithm rather than | |
4770 calling an external program if 'equalprg' is empty. | |
4771 This option is not used when 'paste' is set. | |
4772 {Vi: Does it a little bit differently} | |
4773 | |
4774 *'lispwords'* *'lw'* | |
4775 'lispwords' 'lw' string (default is very long) | |
5712 | 4776 global or local to buffer |global-local| |
7 | 4777 {not in Vi} |
4778 {not available when compiled without the |+lispindent| | |

4906 When it is empty, an internally generated temp file will be used. | |
4907 When "##" is included, it is replaced by a number to make the name | |
4908 unique. This makes sure that the ":make" command doesn't overwrite an | |
4909 existing file. | |
4910 NOT used for the ":cf" command. See 'errorfile' for that. | |
4911 Environment variables are expanded |:set_env|. | |
4912 See |option-backslash| about including spaces and backslashes. | |
4913 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for | |
4914 security reasons. | |
4915 | |
4916 *'makeprg'* *'mp'* | |
4917 'makeprg' 'mp' string (default "make", VMS: "MMS") | |
4918 global or local to buffer |global-local| | |
4919 {not in Vi} | |
1152 | 4920 Program to use for the ":make" command. See |:make_makeprg|. |
5690 | 4921 This option may contain '%' and '#' characters (see |:_%| and |:_#|), |
4922 which are expanded to the current and alternate file name. Use |::S| | |
4923 to escape file names in case they contain special characters. | |
1152 | 4924 Environment variables are expanded |:set_env|. See |option-backslash| |
4925 about including spaces and backslashes. | |
4926 Note that a '|' must be escaped twice: once for ":set" and once for | |
4927 the interpretation of a command. When you use a filter called | |
4928 "myfilter" do it like this: > | |
7 | 4929 :set makeprg=gmake\ \\\|\ myfilter |
4930 < The placeholder "$*" can be given (even multiple times) to specify | |
4931 where the arguments will be included, for example: > | |
4932 :set makeprg=latex\ \\\\nonstopmode\ \\\\input\\{$*} | |
4933 < This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for | |
4934 security reasons. | |
4935 | |
4936 *'matchpairs'* *'mps'* | |
4937 'matchpairs' 'mps' string (default "(:),{:},[:]") | |
4938 local to buffer | |
4939 {not in Vi} | |
4940 Characters that form pairs. The |%| command jumps from one to the | |
4073 | 4941 other. |
4942 Only character pairs are allowed that are different, thus you cannot | |
4943 jump between two double quotes. | |
4944 The characters must be separated by a colon. | |
1152 | 4945 The pairs must be separated by a comma. Example for including '<' and |
4946 '>' (HTML): > | |
7 | 4947 :set mps+=<:> |
4948 | |
4949 < A more exotic example, to jump between the '=' and ';' in an | |
4950 assignment, useful for languages like C and Java: > | |
4951 :au FileType c,cpp,java set mps+==:; | |

4957 'matchtime' 'mat' number (default 5) | |
4958 global | |
4959 {not in Vi}{in Nvi} | |
4960 Tenths of a second to show the matching paren, when 'showmatch' is | |
4961 set. Note that this is not in milliseconds, like other options that | |
4962 set a time. This is to be compatible with Nvi. | |
4963 | |

4970 The maximum number of combining characters supported for displaying. | |
4971 Only used when 'encoding' is "utf-8". | |
4972 The default is OK for most languages. Hebrew may require 4. | |
4973 Maximum value is 6. | |
4974 Even when this option is set to 2 you can still edit text with more | |
4975 combining characters, you just can't see them. Use |g8| or |ga|. | |
4976 See |mbyte-combining|. | |

4982 {not available when compiled without the |+eval| |
1152 | 4983 feature} |
7 | 4984 Maximum depth of function calls for user functions. This normally |
4985 catches endless recursion. When using a recursive function with | |
4986 more depth, set 'maxfuncdepth' to a bigger number. But this will use | |

4995 character to be used. This normally catches endless mappings, like | |
4996 ":map x y" with ":map y x". It still does not catch ":map g wg", | |

189 | 5017 *E363* |
1152 | 5018 When Vim runs into the limit it gives an error message and mostly |
5019 behaves like CTRL-C was typed. | |
189 | 5020 Running into the limit often means that the pattern is very |
5021 inefficient or too complex. This may already happen with the pattern | |
5022 "\(.\)*" on a very long line. ".*" works much better. | |

5042 global | |
5043 {not in Vi} | |
5044 {not available when compiled without the |+menu| | |
5045 feature} | |
5046 Maximum number of items to use in a menu. Used for menus that are | |
5047 generated from a list of items, e.g., the Buffers menu. Changing this | |
5048 option has no direct effect, the menu must be refreshed first. | |
5049 | |
484 | 5050 *'mkspellmem'* *'msm'* |
5051 'mkspellmem' 'msm' string (default "460000,2000,500") | |
5052 global | |
5053 {not in Vi} | |
5054 {not available when compiled without the |+syntax| | |
5055 feature} | |
5056 Parameters for |:mkspell|. This tunes when to start compressing the | |
5057 word tree. Compression can be slow when there are many words, but | |
5058 it's needed to avoid running out of memory. The amount of memory used | |
5059 per word depends very much on how similar the words are, that's why | |
5060 this tuning is complicated. | |
5061 | |
5062 There are three numbers, separated by commas: | |
5063 {start},{inc},{added} | |
5064 | |
5065 For most languages the uncompressed word tree fits in memory. {start} | |
5066 gives the amount of memory in Kbyte that can be used before any | |
5067 compression is done. It should be a bit smaller than the amount of | |
5068 memory that is available to Vim. | |
5069 | |
5070 When going over the {start} limit the {inc} number specifies the | |
5071 amount of memory in Kbyte that can be allocated before another | |
5072 compression is done. A low number means compression is done after | |
5073 less words are added, which is slow. A high number means more memory | |
5074 will be allocated. | |
5075 | |
5076 After doing compression, {added} times 1024 words can be added before | |
5077 the {inc} limit is ignored and compression is done when any extra | |
5078 amount of memory is needed. A low number means there is a smaller | |
5079 chance of hitting the {inc} limit, less memory is used but it's | |
5080 slower. | |
5081 | |
5082 The languages for which these numbers are important are Italian and | |
5083 Hungarian. The default works for when you have about 512 Mbyte. If | |
5084 you have 1 Gbyte you could use: > | |
5085 :set mkspellmem=900000,3000,800 | |
5086 < If you have less than 512 Mbyte |:mkspell| may fail for some | |
5087 languages, no matter what you set 'mkspellmem' to. | |

7 | 5089 *'modeline'* *'ml'* *'nomodeline'* *'noml'* |
1111 | 5090 'modeline' 'ml' boolean (Vim default: on (off for root), |
5091 Vi default: off) | |
7 | 5092 local to buffer |
5093 *'modelines'* *'mls'* | |
5094 'modelines' 'mls' number (default 5) | |
5095 global | |
5096 {not in Vi} | |
5097 If 'modeline' is on 'modelines' gives the number of lines that is | |
5098 checked for set commands. If 'modeline' is off or 'modelines' is zero | |
5099 no lines are checked. See |modeline|. | |
5100 NOTE: 'modeline' is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is | |
5101 set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. | |
5102 | |
5103 *'modifiable'* *'ma'* *'nomodifiable'* *'noma'* | |
5104 'modifiable' 'ma' boolean (default on) | |
5105 local to buffer | |
5106 {not in Vi} *E21* | |
5107 When off the buffer contents cannot be changed. The 'fileformat' and | |
5108 'fileencoding' options also can't be changed. | |
5109 Can be reset with the |-M| command line argument. | |
5110 | |
5111 *'modified'* *'mod'* *'nomodified'* *'nomod'* | |
5112 'modified' 'mod' boolean (default off) | |
5113 local to buffer | |
5114 {not in Vi} | |
5115 When on, the buffer is considered to be modified. This option is set | |
5116 when: | |
5117 1. A change was made to the text since it was last written. Using the | |
5118 |undo| command to go back to the original text will reset the | |
5119 option. But undoing changes that were made before writing the | |
5120 buffer will set the option again, since the text is different from | |
5121 when it was written. | |
5122 2. 'fileformat' or 'fileencoding' is different from its original | |
5123 value. The original value is set when the buffer is read or | |
5124 written. A ":set nomodified" command also resets the original | |
5125 values to the current values and the 'modified' option will be | |
5126 reset. | |

5127 Similarly for 'eol' and 'bomb'. |

5129 result of a BufNewFile, BufRead/BufReadPost, BufWritePost, | |
5130 FileAppendPost or VimLeave autocommand event. See |gzip-example| for | |
5131 an explanation. | |

5133 will be ignored. | |

5136 'more' boolean (Vim default: on, Vi default: off) | |
5137 global | |

5139 When on, listings pause when the whole screen is filled. You will get | |
5140 the |more-prompt|. When this option is off there are no pauses, the | |
5141 listing continues until finished. | |
5142 NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is | |
5143 set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. | |
5144 | |
5145 *'mouse'* *E538* | |
5146 'mouse' string (default "", "a" for GUI, MS-DOS and Win32) | |
5147 global | |
5148 {not in Vi} | |
5149 Enable the use of the mouse. Only works for certain terminals | |
1621 | 5150 (xterm, MS-DOS, Win32 |win32-mouse|, QNX pterm, *BSD console with |
5151 sysmouse and Linux console with gpm). For using the mouse in the | |
5152 GUI, see |gui-mouse|. | |
7 | 5153 The mouse can be enabled for different modes: |
5154 n Normal mode | |
5155 v Visual mode | |
5156 i Insert mode | |
5157 c Command-line mode | |
5158 h all previous modes when editing a help file | |
5159 a all previous modes | |
5160 r for |hit-enter| and |more-prompt| prompt | |
5161 Normally you would enable the mouse in all four modes with: > | |
5162 :set mouse=a | |
5163 < When the mouse is not enabled, the GUI will still use the mouse for | |
5164 modeless selection. This doesn't move the text cursor. | |
5165 | |
5166 See |mouse-using|. Also see |'clipboard'|. | |
5167 | |
5168 Note: When enabling the mouse in a terminal, copy/paste will use the | |
10 | 5169 "* register if there is access to an X-server. The xterm handling of |
7 | 5170 the mouse buttons can still be used by keeping the shift key pressed. |
5171 Also see the 'clipboard' option. | |

5173 *'mousefocus'* *'mousef'* *'nomousefocus'* *'nomousef'* | |
5174 'mousefocus' 'mousef' boolean (default off) | |
5175 global | |
5176 {not in Vi} | |
5177 {only works in the GUI} | |
5178 The window that the mouse pointer is on is automatically activated. | |
5179 When changing the window layout or window focus in another way, the | |
5180 mouse pointer is moved to the window with keyboard focus. Off is the | |
5181 default because it makes using the pull down menus a little goofy, as | |
5182 a pointer transit may activate a window unintentionally. | |
5183 | |
5184 *'mousehide'* *'mh'* *'nomousehide'* *'nomh'* | |
5185 'mousehide' 'mh' boolean (default on) | |
5186 global | |
5187 {not in Vi} | |
5188 {only works in the GUI} | |
5189 When on, the mouse pointer is hidden when characters are typed. | |
5190 The mouse pointer is restored when the mouse is moved. | |
5191 | |
5192 *'mousemodel'* *'mousem'* | |
5193 'mousemodel' 'mousem' string (default "extend", "popup" for MS-DOS and Win32) | |
5194 global | |
5195 {not in Vi} | |
5196 Sets the model to use for the mouse. The name mostly specifies what | |
5197 the right mouse button is used for: | |
5198 extend Right mouse button extends a selection. This works | |
5199 like in an xterm. | |
5200 popup Right mouse button pops up a menu. The shifted left | |
5201 mouse button extends a selection. This works like | |
233 | 5202 with Microsoft Windows. |
7 | 5203 popup_setpos Like "popup", but the cursor will be moved to the |
5204 position where the mouse was clicked, and thus the | |
5205 selected operation will act upon the clicked object. | |
5206 If clicking inside a selection, that selection will | |
233 | 5207 be acted upon, i.e. no cursor move. This implies of |
7 | 5208 course, that right clicking outside a selection will |
5209 end Visual mode. | |
5210 Overview of what button does what for each model: | |
5211 mouse extend popup(_setpos) ~ | |
5212 left click place cursor place cursor | |
5213 left drag start selection start selection | |
5214 shift-left search word extend selection | |
5215 right click extend selection popup menu (place cursor) | |
5216 right drag extend selection - | |
5217 middle click paste paste | |
5218 | |
5219 In the "popup" model the right mouse button produces a pop-up menu. | |
5220 You need to define this first, see |popup-menu|. | |
5221 | |
5222 Note that you can further refine the meaning of buttons with mappings. | |
5223 See |gui-mouse-mapping|. But mappings are NOT used for modeless | |
5224 selection (because that's handled in the GUI code directly). | |
5225 | |
5226 The 'mousemodel' option is set by the |:behave| command. | |
5227 | |
5228 *'mouseshape'* *'mouses'* *E547* | |
5229 'mouseshape' 'mouses' string (default "i:beam,r:beam,s:updown,sd:cross, | |
233 | 5230 m:no,ml:up-arrow,v:rightup-arrow") |
7 | 5231 global |
5232 {not in Vi} | |
5233 {only available when compiled with the |+mouseshape| | |
5234 feature} | |
5235 This option tells Vim what the mouse pointer should look like in | |
5236 different modes. The option is a comma separated list of parts, much | |
5237 like used for 'guicursor'. Each part consist of a mode/location-list | |
5238 and an argument-list: | |
5239 mode-list:shape,mode-list:shape,.. | |
5240 The mode-list is a dash separated list of these modes/locations: | |
5241 In a normal window: ~ | |
5242 n Normal mode | |
5243 v Visual mode | |
5244 ve Visual mode with 'selection' "exclusive" (same as 'v', | |
5245 if not specified) | |
5246 o Operator-pending mode | |
5247 i Insert mode | |
5248 r Replace mode | |
5249 | |
5250 Others: ~ | |
5251 c appending to the command-line | |
5252 ci inserting in the command-line | |
5253 cr replacing in the command-line | |
5254 m at the 'Hit ENTER' or 'More' prompts | |
5255 ml idem, but cursor in the last line | |
5256 e any mode, pointer below last window | |
5257 s any mode, pointer on a status line | |
5258 sd any mode, while dragging a status line | |
5259 vs any mode, pointer on a vertical separator line | |
5260 vd any mode, while dragging a vertical separator line | |
5261 a everywhere | |
5262 | |
5263 The shape is one of the following: | |
5264 avail name looks like ~ | |
5265 w x arrow Normal mouse pointer | |
5266 w x blank no pointer at all (use with care!) | |
5267 w x beam I-beam | |
5268 w x updown up-down sizing arrows | |
5269 w x leftright left-right sizing arrows | |
5270 w x busy The system's usual busy pointer | |
5271 w x no The system's usual 'no input' pointer | |
5272 x udsizing indicates up-down resizing | |
5273 x lrsizing indicates left-right resizing | |

10 | 5438 Put Vim in Paste mode. This is useful if you want to cut or copy |
5439 some text from one window and paste it in Vim. This will avoid | |
7 | 5440 unexpected effects. |
5441 Setting this option is useful when using Vim in a terminal, where Vim | |
10 | 5442 cannot distinguish between typed text and pasted text. In the GUI, Vim |
7 | 5443 knows about pasting and will mostly do the right thing without 'paste' |
5444 being set. The same is true for a terminal where Vim handles the | |
5445 mouse clicks itself. | |
148 | 5446 This option is reset when starting the GUI. Thus if you set it in |
5447 your .vimrc it will work in a terminal, but not in the GUI. Setting | |
5448 'paste' in the GUI has side effects: e.g., the Paste toolbar button | |
5449 will no longer work in Insert mode, because it uses a mapping. | |
7 | 5450 When the 'paste' option is switched on (also when it was already on): |
5451 - mapping in Insert mode and Command-line mode is disabled | |
5452 - abbreviations are disabled | |
5453 - 'autoindent' is reset | |

7 | 5467 - 'lisp' |
5468 NOTE: When you start editing another file while the 'paste' option is | |
5469 on, settings from the modelines or autocommands may change the | |
5470 settings again, causing trouble when pasting text. You might want to | |
5471 set the 'paste' option again. | |
5472 When the 'paste' option is reset the mentioned options are restored to | |
5473 the value before the moment 'paste' was switched from off to on. | |
5474 Resetting 'paste' before ever setting it does not have any effect. | |
5475 Since mapping doesn't work while 'paste' is active, you need to use | |
5476 the 'pastetoggle' option to toggle the 'paste' option with some key. | |
5477 | |

5479 'pastetoggle' 'pt' string (default "") | |
5480 global | |

5482 When non-empty, specifies the key sequence that toggles the 'paste' | |
5483 option. This is like specifying a mapping: > | |
5484 :map {keys} :set invpaste<CR> | |
5485 < Where {keys} is the value of 'pastetoggle'. | |
5486 The difference is that it will work even when 'paste' is set. | |
5487 'pastetoggle' works in Insert mode and Normal mode, but not in | |
5488 Command-line mode. | |
5489 Mappings are checked first, thus overrule 'pastetoggle'. However, | |
5490 when 'paste' is on mappings are ignored in Insert mode, thus you can do | |
5491 this: > | |
5492 :map <F10> :set paste<CR> | |
5493 :map <F11> :set nopaste<CR> | |
5494 :imap <F10> <C-O>:set paste<CR> | |
5495 :imap <F11> <nop> | |
5496 :set pastetoggle=<F11> | |
5497 < This will make <F10> start paste mode and <F11> stop paste mode. | |
5498 Note that typing <F10> in paste mode inserts "<F10>", since in paste | |
5499 mode everything is inserted literally, except the 'pastetoggle' key | |
5500 sequence. | |

5516 When non-empty the oldest version of a file is kept. This can be used | |
5517 to keep the original version of a file if you are changing files in a | |
5518 source distribution. Only the first time that a file is written a | |
5519 copy of the original file will be kept. The name of the copy is the | |
5520 name of the original file with the string in the 'patchmode' option | |
5521 appended. This option should start with a dot. Use a string like | |
5522 ".org". 'backupdir' must not be empty for this to work (Detail: The | |
5523 backup file is renamed to the patchmode file after the new file has | |
5524 been successfully written, that's why it must be possible to write a | |
5525 backup file). If there was no file to be backed up, an empty file is | |
5526 created. | |
5527 When the 'backupskip' pattern matches, a patchmode file is not made. | |
5528 Using 'patchmode' for compressed files appends the extension at the | |
5529 end (e.g., "file.gz.orig"), thus the resulting name isn't always | |

5542 starting with "/", "./" or "../"). The directories in the 'path' | |
5543 option may be relative or absolute. | |
7 | 5544 - Use commas to separate directory names: > |
5545 :set path=.,/usr/local/include,/usr/include | |
5546 < - Spaces can also be used to separate directory names (for backwards | |
5547 compatibility with version 3.0). To have a space in a directory | |
5548 name, precede it with an extra backslash, and escape the space: > | |
5549 :set path=.,/dir/with\\\ space | |
5550 < - To include a comma in a directory name precede it with an extra | |
5551 backslash: > | |
5552 :set path=.,/dir/with\\,comma | |
5553 < - To search relative to the directory of the current file, use: > | |
5554 :set path=. | |
5555 < - To search in the current directory use an empty string between two | |
5556 commas: > | |
5557 :set path=,, | |
5558 < - A directory name may end in a ':' or '/'. | |
5559 - Environment variables are expanded |:set_env|. | |
5560 - When using |netrw.vim| URLs can be used. For example, adding | |
5561 "http://www.vim.org" will make ":find index.html" work. | |
1668 | 5562 - Search upwards and downwards in a directory tree using "*", "**" and |
5563 ";". See |file-searching| for info and syntax. | |
7 | 5564 {not available when compiled without the |+path_extra| feature} |
5565 - Careful with '\' characters, type two to get one in the option: > | |
5566 :set path=.,c:\\include | |
5567 < Or just use '/' instead: > | |
5568 :set path=.,c:/include | |
5569 < Don't forget "." or files won't even be found in the same directory as | |
5570 the file! | |
10 | 5571 The maximum length is limited. How much depends on the system, mostly |
7 | 5572 it is something like 256 or 1024 characters. |
5573 You can check if all the include files are found, using the value of | |
5574 'path', see |:checkpath|. | |
5575 The use of |:set+=| and |:set-=| is preferred when adding or removing | |
5576 directories from the list. This avoids problems when a future version | |
5577 uses another default. To remove the current directory use: > | |
5578 :set path-= | |
5579 < To add the current directory use: > | |
5580 :set path+= | |
5581 < To use an environment variable, you probably need to replace the | |
5582 separator. Here is an example to append $INCL, in which directory | |
5583 names are separated with a semi-colon: > | |
5584 :let &path = &path . "," . substitute($INCL, ';', ',', 'g') | |
5585 < Replace the ';' with a ':' or whatever separator is used. Note that | |
5586 this doesn't work when $INCL contains a comma or white space. | |

5602 local to buffer | |
5603 {not in Vi} | |
5604 When changing the indent of the current line, preserve as much of the | |
5605 indent structure as possible. Normally the indent is replaced by a | |
5606 series of tabs followed by spaces as required (unless |'expandtab'| is | |
5607 enabled, in which case only spaces are used). Enabling this option | |
5608 means the indent will preserve as many existing characters as possible | |
5609 for indenting, and only add additional tabs or spaces as required. | |
1621 | 5610 'expandtab' does not apply to the preserved white space, a Tab remains |
5611 a Tab. | |
7 | 5612 NOTE: When using ">>" multiple times the resulting indent is a mix of |
5613 tabs and spaces. You might not like this. | |
5614 NOTE: 'preserveindent' is reset when 'compatible' is set. | |

5947 Using this option, it is possible to edit files for languages that | |
5948 are written from the right to the left such as Hebrew and Arabic. | |
5949 This option is per window, so it is possible to edit mixed files | |

7 | 6007 If you don't want to see the ruler all the time but want to know where |
6008 you are, use "g CTRL-G" |g_CTRL-G|. | |
6009 NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. | |

6017 When this option is not empty, it determines the content of the ruler | |
6018 string, as displayed for the 'ruler' option. | |
692 | 6019 The format of this option is like that of 'statusline'. |
7 | 6020 The default ruler width is 17 characters. To make the ruler 15 |
6021 characters wide, put "%15(" at the start and "%)" at the end. | |

7 | 6092 Note that, unlike 'path', no wildcards like "**" are allowed. Normal |
6093 wildcards are allowed, but can significantly slow down searching for | |
10 | 6094 runtime files. For speed, use as few items as possible and avoid |
7 | 6095 wildcards. |
6096 See |:runtime|. | |
6097 Example: > | |
6098 :set runtimepath=~/vimruntime,/mygroup/vim,$VIMRUNTIME | |
6099 < This will use the directory "~/vimruntime" first (containing your | |
6100 personal Vim runtime files), then "/mygroup/vim" (shared between a | |
6101 group of people) and finally "$VIMRUNTIME" (the distributed runtime | |
6102 files). | |
6103 You probably should always include $VIMRUNTIME somewhere, to use the | |
6104 distributed runtime files. You can put a directory before $VIMRUNTIME | |
6105 to find files which replace a distributed runtime files. You can put | |
6106 a directory after $VIMRUNTIME to find files which add to distributed | |
6107 runtime files. | |
6108 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for | |
6109 security reasons. | |
6110 | |
6111 *'scroll'* *'scr'* | |
6112 'scroll' 'scr' number (default: half the window height) | |
6113 local to window | |
6114 Number of lines to scroll with CTRL-U and CTRL-D commands. Will be | |
6115 set to half the number of lines in the window when the window size | |
6116 changes. If you give a count to the CTRL-U or CTRL-D command it will | |
10 | 6117 be used as the new value for 'scroll'. Reset to half the window |
7 | 6118 height with ":set scroll=0". {Vi is a bit different: 'scroll' gives |
6119 the number of screen lines instead of file lines, makes a difference | |
6120 when lines wrap} | |
6121 | |
6122 *'scrollbind'* *'scb'* *'noscrollbind'* *'noscb'* | |
6123 'scrollbind' 'scb' boolean (default off) | |
6124 local to window | |
6125 {not in Vi} | |
6126 {not available when compiled without the |+scrollbind| | |
6127 feature} | |
6128 See also |scroll-binding|. When this option is set, the current | |
6129 window scrolls as other scrollbind windows (windows that also have | |
6130 this option set) scroll. This option is useful for viewing the | |
6131 differences between two versions of a file, see 'diff'. | |
6132 See |'scrollopt'| for options that determine how this option should be | |
6133 interpreted. | |
6134 This option is mostly reset when splitting a window to edit another | |
6135 file. This means that ":split | edit file" results in two windows | |
6136 with scroll-binding, but ":split file" does not. | |
6137 | |
6138 *'scrolljump'* *'sj'* | |
6139 'scrolljump' 'sj' number (default 1) | |
6140 global | |
6141 {not in Vi} | |
6142 Minimal number of lines to scroll when the cursor gets off the | |
6143 screen (e.g., with "j"). Not used for scroll commands (e.g., CTRL-E, | |
6144 CTRL-D). Useful if your terminal scrolls very slowly. | |
532 | 6145 When set to a negative number from -1 to -100 this is used as the |
6146 percentage of the window height. Thus -50 scrolls half the window | |
6147 height. | |
7 | 6148 NOTE: This option is set to 1 when 'compatible' is set. |
6149 | |
6150 *'scrolloff'* *'so'* | |
6151 'scrolloff' 'so' number (default 0) | |
6152 global | |
6153 {not in Vi} | |
6154 Minimal number of screen lines to keep above and below the cursor. | |
6155 This will make some context visible around where you are working. If | |
6156 you set it to a very large value (999) the cursor line will always be | |
6157 in the middle of the window (except at the start or end of the file or | |
6158 when long lines wrap). | |
6159 For scrolling horizontally see 'sidescrolloff'. | |
6160 NOTE: This option is set to 0 when 'compatible' is set. | |
6161 | |
6162 *'scrollopt'* *'sbo'* | |
6163 'scrollopt' 'sbo' string (default "ver,jump") | |
6164 global | |
6165 {not available when compiled without the |+scrollbind| | |
6166 feature} | |
6167 {not in Vi} | |
6168 This is a comma-separated list of words that specifies how | |
236 | 6169 'scrollbind' windows should behave. 'sbo' stands for ScrollBind |
6170 Options. | |
7 | 6171 The following words are available: |
6172 ver Bind vertical scrolling for 'scrollbind' windows | |
6173 hor Bind horizontal scrolling for 'scrollbind' windows | |
6174 jump Applies to the offset between two windows for vertical | |
6175 scrolling. This offset is the difference in the first | |
6176 displayed line of the bound windows. When moving | |
6177 around in a window, another 'scrollbind' window may | |
6178 reach a position before the start or after the end of | |
6179 the buffer. The offset is not changed though, when | |
6180 moving back the 'scrollbind' window will try to scroll | |
6181 to the desired position when possible. | |
6182 When now making that window the current one, two | |
6183 things can be done with the relative offset: | |
6184 1. When "jump" is not included, the relative offset is | |
6185 adjusted for the scroll position in the new current | |
6186 window. When going back to the other window, the | |
1152 | 6187 new relative offset will be used. |
7 | 6188 2. When "jump" is included, the other windows are |
6189 scrolled to keep the same relative offset. When | |
6190 going back to the other window, it still uses the | |
6191 same relative offset. | |
6192 Also see |scroll-binding|. | |
819 | 6193 When 'diff' mode is active there always is vertical scroll binding, |
6194 even when "ver" isn't there. | |
7 | 6195 |
6196 *'sections'* *'sect'* | |
6197 'sections' 'sect' string (default "SHNHH HUnhsh") | |
6198 global | |
6199 Specifies the nroff macros that separate sections. These are pairs of | |
6200 two letters (See |object-motions|). The default makes a section start | |
6201 at the nroff macros ".SH", ".NH", ".H", ".HU", ".nh" and ".sh". | |
6202 | |
6203 *'secure'* *'nosecure'* *E523* | |
6204 'secure' boolean (default off) | |
6205 global | |
6206 {not in Vi} | |
6207 When on, ":autocmd", shell and write commands are not allowed in | |
6208 ".vimrc" and ".exrc" in the current directory and map commands are | |
6209 displayed. Switch it off only if you know that you will not run into | |
6210 problems, or when the 'exrc' option is off. On Unix this option is | |
6211 only used if the ".vimrc" or ".exrc" is not owned by you. This can be | |
10 | 6212 dangerous if the systems allows users to do a "chown". You better set |
7 | 6213 'secure' at the end of your ~/.vimrc then. |
6214 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for | |
6215 security reasons. | |
6216 | |
6217 *'selection'* *'sel'* | |
6218 'selection' 'sel' string (default "inclusive") | |
6219 global | |
6220 {not in Vi} | |
6221 This option defines the behavior of the selection. It is only used | |
6222 in Visual and Select mode. | |
6223 Possible values: | |
6224 value past line inclusive ~ | |
6225 old no yes | |
6226 inclusive yes yes | |
6227 exclusive yes no | |
6228 "past line" means that the cursor is allowed to be positioned one | |
6229 character past the line. | |
6230 "inclusive" means that the last character of the selection is included | |
6231 in an operation. For example, when "x" is used to delete the | |
6232 selection. | |
6233 Note that when "exclusive" is used and selecting from the end | |
6234 backwards, you cannot include the last character of a line, when | |
6235 starting in Normal mode and 'virtualedit' empty. | |
6236 | |
6237 The 'selection' option is set by the |:behave| command. | |
6238 | |
6239 *'selectmode'* *'slm'* | |
6240 'selectmode' 'slm' string (default "") | |
6241 global | |
6242 {not in Vi} | |
6243 This is a comma separated list of words, which specifies when to start | |
6244 Select mode instead of Visual mode, when a selection is started. | |
6245 Possible values: | |
6246 mouse when using the mouse | |
6247 key when using shifted special keys | |
6248 cmd when using "v", "V" or CTRL-V | |
6249 See |Select-mode|. | |
6250 The 'selectmode' option is set by the |:behave| command. | |
6251 | |
6252 *'sessionoptions'* *'ssop'* | |
6253 'sessionoptions' 'ssop' string (default: "blank,buffers,curdir,folds, | |
827 | 6254 help,options,tabpages,winsize") |
7 | 6255 global |

6293 with absolute paths. |
7 | 6294 "slash" and "unix" are useful on Windows when sharing session files |
6295 with Unix. The Unix version of Vim cannot source dos format scripts, | |
6296 but the Windows version of Vim can source unix format scripts. | |
6297 | |
6298 *'shell'* *'sh'* *E91* | |
6299 'shell' 'sh' string (default $SHELL or "sh", | |
6300 MS-DOS and Win32: "command.com" or | |
6301 "cmd.exe", OS/2: "cmd") | |
6302 global | |
6303 Name of the shell to use for ! and :! commands. When changing the | |
6304 value also check these options: 'shelltype', 'shellpipe', 'shellslash' | |
6305 'shellredir', 'shellquote', 'shellxquote' and 'shellcmdflag'. | |
10 | 6306 It is allowed to give an argument to the command, e.g. "csh -f". |
7 | 6307 See |option-backslash| about including spaces and backslashes. |
6308 Environment variables are expanded |:set_env|. | |
6309 If the name of the shell contains a space, you might need to enclose | |
6310 it in quotes. Example: > | |
6311 :set shell=\"c:\program\ files\unix\sh.exe\"\ -f | |
6312 < Note the backslash before each quote (to avoid starting a comment) and | |
10 | 6313 each space (to avoid ending the option value). Also note that the |
7 | 6314 "-f" is not inside the quotes, because it is not part of the command |
6315 name. And Vim automagically recognizes the backslashes that are path | |
6316 separators. | |
6317 For Dos 32 bits (DJGPP), you can set the $DJSYSFLAGS environment | |
6318 variable to change the way external commands are executed. See the | |
6319 libc.inf file of DJGPP. | |
6320 Under MS-Windows, when the executable ends in ".com" it must be | |
6321 included. Thus setting the shell to "command.com" or "4dos.com" | |
6322 works, but "command" and "4dos" do not work for all commands (e.g., | |
6323 filtering). | |
6324 For unknown reasons, when using "4dos.com" the current directory is | |
6325 changed to "C:\". To avoid this set 'shell' like this: > | |
6326 :set shell=command.com\ /c\ 4dos | |
6327 < This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for | |
6328 security reasons. | |
6329 | |
6330 *'shellcmdflag'* *'shcf'* | |
3356 | 6331 'shellcmdflag' 'shcf' string (default: "-c"; |
3371 | 6332 MS-DOS and Win32, when 'shell' does not |
6333 contain "sh" somewhere: "/c") | |
7 | 6334 global |
6335 {not in Vi} | |
6336 Flag passed to the shell to execute "!" and ":!" commands; e.g., | |
6337 "bash.exe -c ls" or "command.com /c dir". For the MS-DOS-like | |
6338 systems, the default is set according to the value of 'shell', to | |
6339 reduce the need to set this option by the user. It's not used for | |
3082 | 6340 OS/2 (EMX figures this out itself). |
6341 On Unix it can have more than one flag. Each white space separated | |
6342 part is passed as an argument to the shell command. | |
6343 See |option-backslash| about including spaces and backslashes. | |
6344 Also see |dos-shell| for MS-DOS and MS-Windows. | |
7 | 6345 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for |
6346 security reasons. | |
6347 | |
6348 *'shellpipe'* *'sp'* | |
6349 'shellpipe' 'sp' string (default ">", "| tee", "|& tee" or "2>&1| tee") | |
6350 global | |
6351 {not in Vi} | |
6352 {not available when compiled without the |+quickfix| | |
6353 feature} | |
6354 String to be used to put the output of the ":make" command in the | |
10 | 6355 error file. See also |:make_makeprg|. See |option-backslash| about |
7 | 6356 including spaces and backslashes. |
6357 The name of the temporary file can be represented by "%s" if necessary | |
6358 (the file name is appended automatically if no %s appears in the value | |
6359 of this option). | |
6360 For the Amiga and MS-DOS the default is ">". The output is directly | |
6361 saved in a file and not echoed to the screen. | |
6362 For Unix the default it "| tee". The stdout of the compiler is saved | |
6363 in a file and echoed to the screen. If the 'shell' option is "csh" or | |
6364 "tcsh" after initializations, the default becomes "|& tee". If the | |
2788 | 6365 'shell' option is "sh", "ksh", "mksh", "pdksh", "zsh" or "bash" the |
6366 default becomes "2>&1| tee". This means that stderr is also included. | |
6367 Before using the 'shell' option a path is removed, thus "/bin/sh" uses | |
6368 "sh". | |
7 | 6369 The initialization of this option is done after reading the ".vimrc" |
6370 and the other initializations, so that when the 'shell' option is set | |
6371 there, the 'shellpipe' option changes automatically, unless it was | |
6372 explicitly set before. | |
6373 When 'shellpipe' is set to an empty string, no redirection of the | |
6374 ":make" output will be done. This is useful if you use a 'makeprg' | |
6375 that writes to 'makeef' by itself. If you want no piping, but do | |
6376 want to include the 'makeef', set 'shellpipe' to a single space. | |
6377 Don't forget to precede the space with a backslash: ":set sp=\ ". | |
6378 In the future pipes may be used for filtering and this option will | |
6379 become obsolete (at least for Unix). | |
6380 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for | |
6381 security reasons. | |
6382 | |
6383 *'shellquote'* *'shq'* | |
6384 'shellquote' 'shq' string (default: ""; MS-DOS and Win32, when 'shell' | |
6385 contains "sh" somewhere: "\"") | |
6386 global | |
6387 {not in Vi} | |
6388 Quoting character(s), put around the command passed to the shell, for | |
6389 the "!" and ":!" commands. The redirection is kept outside of the | |
6390 quoting. See 'shellxquote' to include the redirection. It's | |
6391 probably not useful to set both options. | |
6392 This is an empty string by default. Only known to be useful for | |
6393 third-party shells on MS-DOS-like systems, such as the MKS Korn Shell | |
6394 or bash, where it should be "\"". The default is adjusted according | |
6395 the value of 'shell', to reduce the need to set this option by the | |
6396 user. See |dos-shell|. | |
6397 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for | |
6398 security reasons. | |

6400 *'shellredir'* *'srr'* | |
6401 'shellredir' 'srr' string (default ">", ">&" or ">%s 2>&1") | |
6402 global | |
6403 {not in Vi} | |
6404 String to be used to put the output of a filter command in a temporary | |
6405 file. See also |:!|. See |option-backslash| about including spaces | |
6406 and backslashes. | |
6407 The name of the temporary file can be represented by "%s" if necessary | |
6408 (the file name is appended automatically if no %s appears in the value | |
6409 of this option). | |
6410 The default is ">". For Unix, if the 'shell' option is "csh", "tcsh" | |
6411 or "zsh" during initializations, the default becomes ">&". If the | |
6412 'shell' option is "sh", "ksh" or "bash" the default becomes | |
6413 ">%s 2>&1". This means that stderr is also included. | |
6414 For Win32, the Unix checks are done and additionally "cmd" is checked | |
6415 for, which makes the default ">%s 2>&1". Also, the same names with | |
6416 ".exe" appended are checked for. | |
6417 The initialization of this option is done after reading the ".vimrc" | |
6418 and the other initializations, so that when the 'shell' option is set | |
6419 there, the 'shellredir' option changes automatically unless it was | |
6420 explicitly set before. | |
6421 In the future pipes may be used for filtering and this option will | |
6422 become obsolete (at least for Unix). | |
6423 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for | |
6424 security reasons. | |
6425 | |
6426 *'shellslash'* *'ssl'* *'noshellslash'* *'nossl'* | |
6427 'shellslash' 'ssl' boolean (default off) | |
6428 global | |
6429 {not in Vi} {only for MSDOS, MS-Windows and OS/2} | |
6430 When set, a forward slash is used when expanding file names. This is | |
6431 useful when a Unix-like shell is used instead of command.com or | |
6432 cmd.exe. Backward slashes can still be typed, but they are changed to | |
6433 forward slashes by Vim. | |
6434 Note that setting or resetting this option has no effect for some | |
6435 existing file names, thus this option needs to be set before opening | |
6436 any file for best results. This might change in the future. | |
6437 'shellslash' only works when a backslash can be used as a path | |
6438 separator. To test if this is so use: > | |
6439 if exists('+shellslash') | |
6440 < | |
168 | 6441 *'shelltemp'* *'stmp'* *'noshelltemp'* *'nostmp'* |
6442 'shelltemp' 'stmp' boolean (Vi default off, Vim default on) | |
6443 global | |
6444 {not in Vi} | |
6445 When on, use temp files for shell commands. When off use a pipe. | |
6446 When using a pipe is not possible temp files are used anyway. | |
2965 | 6447 Currently a pipe is only supported on Unix and MS-Windows 2K and |
6448 later. You can check it with: > | |
168 | 6449 :if has("filterpipe") |
6450 < The advantage of using a pipe is that nobody can read the temp file | |
6451 and the 'shell' command does not need to support redirection. | |
6452 The advantage of using a temp file is that the file type and encoding | |
6453 can be detected. | |
6454 The |FilterReadPre|, |FilterReadPost| and |FilterWritePre|, | |
6455 |FilterWritePost| autocommands event are not triggered when | |
6456 'shelltemp' is off. | |
6457 | |
7 | 6458 *'shelltype'* *'st'* |
6459 'shelltype' 'st' number (default 0) | |
6460 global | |
6461 {not in Vi} {only for the Amiga} | |
6462 On the Amiga this option influences the way how the commands work | |
6463 which use a shell. | |
6464 0 and 1: always use the shell | |
6465 2 and 3: use the shell only to filter lines | |
6466 4 and 5: use shell only for ':sh' command | |
6467 When not using the shell, the command is executed directly. | |
6468 | |
6469 0 and 2: use "shell 'shellcmdflag' cmd" to start external commands | |
6470 1 and 3: use "shell cmd" to start external commands | |
6471 | |
3371 | 6472 *'shellxescape'* *'sxe'* |
6473 'shellxescape' 'sxe' string (default: ""; | |
6474 for MS-DOS and MS-Windows: "\"&|<>()@^") | |
6475 global | |
6476 {not in Vi} | |
6477 When 'shellxquote' is set to "(" then the characters listed in this | |
6478 option will be escaped with a '^' character. This makes it possible | |
6479 to execute most external commands with cmd.exe. | |
6480 | |
7 | 6481 *'shellxquote'* *'sxq'* |
6482 'shellxquote' 'sxq' string (default: ""; | |
3359 | 6483 for Win32, when 'shell' is cmd.exe: "(" |
6484 for Win32, when 'shell' contains "sh" | |
6485 somewhere: "\"" | |
7 | 6486 for Unix, when using system(): "\"") |
6487 global | |
6488 {not in Vi} | |
6489 Quoting character(s), put around the command passed to the shell, for | |
6490 the "!" and ":!" commands. Includes the redirection. See | |
6491 'shellquote' to exclude the redirection. It's probably not useful | |
6492 to set both options. | |
3359 | 6493 When the value is '(' then ')' is appended. When the value is '"(' |
6494 then ')"' is appended. | |
6495 When the value is '(' then also see 'shellxescape'. | |
3352 | 6496 This is an empty string by default on most systems, but is known to be |
6497 useful for on Win32 version, either for cmd.exe which automatically | |
6498 strips off the first and last quote on a command, or 3rd-party shells | |
6499 such as the MKS Korn Shell or bash, where it should be "\"". The | |
6500 default is adjusted according the value of 'shell', to reduce the need | |
6501 to set this option by the user. See |dos-shell|. | |
7 | 6502 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for |
6503 security reasons. | |
6504 | |
6505 *'shiftround'* *'sr'* *'noshiftround'* *'nosr'* | |
6506 'shiftround' 'sr' boolean (default off) | |
6507 global | |
6508 {not in Vi} | |
6509 Round indent to multiple of 'shiftwidth'. Applies to > and < | |
6510 commands. CTRL-T and CTRL-D in Insert mode always round the indent to | |
6511 a multiple of 'shiftwidth' (this is Vi compatible). | |
6512 NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. | |
6513 | |
6514 *'shiftwidth'* *'sw'* | |
6515 'shiftwidth' 'sw' number (default 8) | |
6516 local to buffer | |
10 | 6517 Number of spaces to use for each step of (auto)indent. Used for |
7 | 6518 |'cindent'|, |>>|, |<<|, etc. |
3893 | 6519 When zero the 'ts' value will be used. Use the |shiftwidth()| |
6520 function to get the effective shiftwidth value. | |
7 | 6521 |
6522 *'shortmess'* *'shm'* | |
168 | 6523 'shortmess' 'shm' string (Vim default "filnxtToO", Vi default: "", |
6524 POSIX default: "A") | |
7 | 6525 global |
6526 {not in Vi} | |
6527 This option helps to avoid all the |hit-enter| prompts caused by file | |
6528 messages, for example with CTRL-G, and to avoid some other messages. | |
6529 It is a list of flags: | |
6530 flag meaning when present ~ | |
6531 f use "(3 of 5)" instead of "(file 3 of 5)" | |
6532 i use "[noeol]" instead of "[Incomplete last line]" | |
6533 l use "999L, 888C" instead of "999 lines, 888 characters" | |
6534 m use "[+]" instead of "[Modified]" | |
6535 n use "[New]" instead of "[New File]" | |
6536 r use "[RO]" instead of "[readonly]" | |
6537 w use "[w]" instead of "written" for file write message | |
6538 and "[a]" instead of "appended" for ':w >> file' command | |
6539 x use "[dos]" instead of "[dos format]", "[unix]" instead of | |
6540 "[unix format]" and "[mac]" instead of "[mac format]". | |
6541 a all of the above abbreviations | |
6542 | |
6543 o overwrite message for writing a file with subsequent message | |
6544 for reading a file (useful for ":wn" or when 'autowrite' on) | |
6545 O message for reading a file overwrites any previous message. | |
6546 Also for quickfix message (e.g., ":cn"). | |
6547 s don't give "search hit BOTTOM, continuing at TOP" or "search | |
6548 hit TOP, continuing at BOTTOM" messages | |
6549 t truncate file message at the start if it is too long to fit | |
6550 on the command-line, "<" will appear in the left most column. | |
6551 Ignored in Ex mode. | |
6552 T truncate other messages in the middle if they are too long to | |
233 | 6553 fit on the command line. "..." will appear in the middle. |
7 | 6554 Ignored in Ex mode. |
6555 W don't give "written" or "[w]" when writing a file | |
6556 A don't give the "ATTENTION" message when an existing swap file | |
6557 is found. | |
6558 I don't give the intro message when starting Vim |:intro|. | |
5946 | 6559 c don't give |ins-completion-menu| messages. For example, |
6560 "-- XXX completion (YYY)", "match 1 of 2", "The only match", | |
6561 "Pattern not found", "Back at original", etc. | |

6566 This gives you the opportunity to avoid that a change between buffers | |
6567 requires you to hit <Enter>, but still gives as useful a message as | |
6568 possible for the space available. To get the whole message that you | |
6569 would have got with 'shm' empty, use ":file!" | |
6570 Useful values: | |
6571 shm= No abbreviation of message. | |
6572 shm=a Abbreviation, but no loss of information. | |
6573 shm=at Abbreviation, and truncate message when necessary. | |

6582 Filenames are assumed to be 8 characters plus one extension of 3 | |
6583 characters. Multiple dots in file names are not allowed. When this | |
6584 option is on, dots in file names are replaced with underscores when | |
6585 adding an extension (".~" or ".swp"). This option is not available | |
6586 for MS-DOS, because then it would always be on. This option is useful | |
6587 when editing files on an MS-DOS compatible filesystem, e.g., messydos | |
6588 or crossdos. When running the Win32 GUI version under Win32s, this | |
6589 option is always on by default. | |

6696 The minimal number of columns to scroll horizontally. Used only when | |
6697 the 'wrap' option is off and the cursor is moved off of the screen. | |
6698 When it is zero the cursor will be put in the middle of the screen. | |
6699 When using a slow terminal set it to a large number or 0. When using | |
6700 a fast terminal use a small number or 1. Not used for "zh" and "zl" | |
6701 commands. | |

6704 'sidescrolloff' 'siso' number (default 0) | |

6706 {not in Vi} | |
6707 The minimal number of screen columns to keep to the left and to the | |
534 | 6708 right of the cursor if 'nowrap' is set. Setting this option to a |
6709 value greater than 0 while having |'sidescroll'| also at a non-zero | |
6710 value makes some context visible in the line you are scrolling in | |
6711 horizontally (except at beginning of the line). Setting this option | |
6712 to a large value (like 999) has the effect of keeping the cursor | |
6713 horizontally centered in the window, as long as one does not come too | |
6714 close to the beginning of the line. | |
7 | 6715 NOTE: This option is set to 0 when 'compatible' is set. |
6716 | |
6717 Example: Try this together with 'sidescroll' and 'listchars' as | |
6718 in the following example to never allow the cursor to move | |
6719 onto the "extends" character: | |
6720 | |
6721 :set nowrap sidescroll=1 listchars=extends:>,precedes:< | |

6726 'smartcase' 'scs' boolean (default off) | |
6727 global | |
6728 {not in Vi} | |
6729 Override the 'ignorecase' option if the search pattern contains upper | |
6730 case characters. Only used when the search pattern is typed and | |
6731 'ignorecase' option is on. Used for the commands "/", "?", "n", "N", | |
3557 | 6732 ":g" and ":s". Not used for "*", "#", "gd", tag search, etc. After |

6743 Do smart autoindenting when starting a new line. Works for C-like | |
6744 programs, but can also be used for other languages. 'cindent' does | |
6745 something like this, works better in most cases, but is more strict, | |
2662 | 6746 see |C-indenting|. When 'cindent' is on or 'indentexpr' is set, |
2642 | 6747 setting 'si' has no effect. 'indentexpr' is a more advanced |
6748 alternative. | |
7 | 6749 Normally 'autoindent' should also be on when using 'smartindent'. |
6750 An indent is automatically inserted: | |
6751 - After a line ending in '{'. | |
6752 - After a line starting with a keyword from 'cinwords'. | |
6753 - Before a line starting with '}' (only with the "O" command). | |
6754 When typing '}' as the first character in a new line, that line is | |
6755 given the same indent as the matching '{'. | |
6756 When typing '#' as the first character in a new line, the indent for | |
6757 that line is removed, the '#' is put in the first column. The indent | |
10 | 6758 is restored for the next line. If you don't want this, use this |
7 | 6759 mapping: ":inoremap # X^H#", where ^H is entered with CTRL-V CTRL-H. |
6760 When using the ">>" command, lines starting with '#' are not shifted | |
6761 right. | |

6835 Name of the word list file where words are added for the |zg| and |zw| | |
401 | 6836 commands. It must end in ".{encoding}.add". You need to include the |
6837 path, otherwise the file is placed in the current directory. | |
386 | 6838 *E765* |
6839 It may also be a comma separated list of names. A count before the | |
6840 |zg| and |zw| commands can be used to access each. This allows using | |
6841 a personal word list file and a project word list file. | |
314 | 6842 When a word is added while this option is empty Vim will set it for |
819 | 6843 you: Using the first directory in 'runtimepath' that is writable. If |
6844 there is no "spell" directory yet it will be created. For the file | |
6845 name the first language name that appears in 'spelllang' is used, | |
353 | 6846 ignoring the region. |
6847 The resulting ".spl" file will be used for spell checking, it does not | |
6848 have to appear in 'spelllang'. | |
6849 Normally one file is used for all regions, but you can add the region | |
6850 name if you want to. However, it will then only be used when | |
6851 'spellfile' is set to it, for entries in 'spelllang' only files | |
6852 without region name will be found. | |
336 | 6853 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for |
6854 security reasons. | |

353 | 6862 A comma separated list of word list names. When the 'spell' option is |
6863 on spellchecking will be done for these languages. Example: > | |
6864 set spelllang=en_us,nl,medical | |
6865 < This means US English, Dutch and medical words are recognized. Words | |
6866 that are not recognized will be highlighted. | |
6867 The word list name must not include a comma or dot. Using a dash is | |
6868 recommended to separate the two letter language name from a | |
6869 specification. Thus "en-rare" is used for rare English words. | |
6870 A region name must come last and have the form "_xx", where "xx" is | |
6871 the two-letter, lower case region name. You can use more than one | |
6872 region by listing them: "en_us,en_ca" supports both US and Canadian | |
6873 English, but not words specific for Australia, New Zealand or Great | |

5477 | 6876 If the name "cjk" is included East Asian characters are excluded from |
6877 spell checking. This is useful when editing text that also has Asian | |
6878 words. | |
484 | 6879 *E757* |
419 | 6880 As a special case the name of a .spl file can be given as-is. The |
6881 first "_xx" in the name is removed and used as the region name | |
6882 (_xx is an underscore, two letters and followed by a non-letter). | |
6883 This is mainly for testing purposes. You must make sure the correct | |
6884 encoding is used, Vim doesn't check it. | |
236 | 6885 When 'encoding' is set the word lists are reloaded. Thus it's a good |
419 | 6886 idea to set 'spelllang' after setting 'encoding' to avoid loading the |
6887 files twice. | |
353 | 6888 How the related spell files are found is explained here: |spell-load|. |
221 | 6889 |
653 | 6890 If the |spellfile.vim| plugin is active and you use a language name |
6891 for which Vim cannot find the .spl file in 'runtimepath' the plugin | |
6892 will ask you if you want to download the file. | |
6893 | |
480 | 6894 After this option has been set successfully, Vim will source the files |
6895 "spell/LANG.vim" in 'runtimepath'. "LANG" is the value of 'spelllang' | |
650 | 6896 up to the first comma, dot or underscore. |
6897 Also see |set-spc-auto|. | |

6904 {not available when compiled without the |+syntax| | |
6905 feature} | |
593 | 6906 Methods used for spelling suggestions. Both for the |z=| command and |
374 | 6907 the |spellsuggest()| function. This is a comma-separated list of |
6908 items: | |
6909 | |
6910 best Internal method that works best for English. Finds | |
6911 changes like "fast" and uses a bit of sound-a-like | |
6912 scoring to improve the ordering. | |
6913 | |
6914 double Internal method that uses two methods and mixes the | |
6915 results. The first method is "fast", the other method | |
344 | 6916 computes how much the suggestion sounds like the bad |
374 | 6917 word. That only works when the language specifies |
6918 sound folding. Can be slow and doesn't always give | |
6919 better results. | |
6920 | |
6921 fast Internal method that only checks for simple changes: | |
6922 character inserts/deletes/swaps. Works well for | |
6923 simple typing mistakes. | |
6924 | |
593 | 6925 {number} The maximum number of suggestions listed for |z=|. |
484 | 6926 Not used for |spellsuggest()|. The number of |
6927 suggestions is never more than the value of 'lines' | |
6928 minus two. | |
6929 | |
374 | 6930 file:{filename} Read file {filename}, which must have two columns, |
6931 separated by a slash. The first column contains the | |
6932 bad word, the second column the suggested good word. | |
6933 Example: | |
6934 theribal/terrible ~ | |
6935 Use this for common mistakes that do not appear at the | |
6936 top of the suggestion list with the internal methods. | |
6937 Lines without a slash are ignored, use this for | |
6938 comments. | |
5862 | 6939 The word in the second column must be correct, |
6940 otherwise it will not be used. Add the word to an | |
6941 ".add" file if it is currently flagged as a spelling | |
6942 mistake. | |
374 | 6943 The file is used for all languages. |
6944 | |
6945 expr:{expr} Evaluate expression {expr}. Use a function to avoid | |
6946 trouble with spaces. |v:val| holds the badly spelled | |
6947 word. The expression must evaluate to a List of | |
6948 Lists, each with a suggestion and a score. | |
6949 Example: | |
6950 [['the', 33], ['that', 44]] | |
593 | 6951 Set 'verbose' and use |z=| to see the scores that the |
374 | 6952 internal methods use. A lower score is better. |
6953 This may invoke |spellsuggest()| if you temporarily | |
6954 set 'spellsuggest' to exclude the "expr:" part. | |
6955 Errors are silently ignored, unless you set the | |
6956 'verbose' option to a non-zero value. | |
6957 | |
6958 Only one of "best", "double" or "fast" may be used. The others may | |
6959 appear several times in any order. Example: > | |
6960 :set sps=file:~/.vim/sugg,best,expr:MySuggest() | |
6961 < | |

7 | 7013 |
680 | 7014 When the option starts with "%!" then it is used as an expression, |

7077 c N Column number. | |
7078 v N Virtual column number. | |
10 | 7079 V N Virtual column number as -{num}. Not displayed if equal to 'c'. |
7 | 7080 p N Percentage through file in lines as in |CTRL-G|. |
7081 P S Percentage through file of displayed window. This is like the | |
5055 | 7082 percentage described for 'ruler'. Always 3 in length, unless |
7083 translated. | |
233 | 7084 a S Argument list status as in default title. ({current} of {max}) |
7 | 7085 Empty if the argument file count is zero or one. |
680 | 7086 { NF Evaluate expression between '%{' and '}' and substitute result. |
625 | 7087 Note that there is no '%' before the closing '}'. |
7 | 7088 ( - Start of item group. Can be used for setting the width and |
7089 alignment of a section. Must be followed by %) somewhere. | |
7090 ) - End of item group. No width fields allowed. | |
681 | 7091 T N For 'tabline': start of tab page N label. Use %T after the last |
7092 label. This information is used for mouse clicks. | |
7093 X N For 'tabline': start of close tab N label. Use %X after the | |
7094 label, e.g.: %3Xclose%X. Use %999X for a "close current tab" | |
7095 mark. This information is used for mouse clicks. | |
7 | 7096 < - Where to truncate line if too long. Default is at the start. |
7097 No width fields allowed. | |
7098 = - Separation point between left and right aligned items. | |
7099 No width fields allowed. | |
680 | 7100 # - Set highlight group. The name must follow and then a # again. |
7101 Thus use %#HLname# for highlight group HLname. The same | |
7102 highlighting is used, also for the statusline of non-current | |
7103 windows. | |
7 | 7104 * - Set highlight group to User{N}, where {N} is taken from the |
233 | 7105 minwid field, e.g. %1*. Restore normal highlight with %* or %0*. |
7 | 7106 The difference between User{N} and StatusLine will be applied |
7107 to StatusLineNC for the statusline of non-current windows. | |
7108 The number N must be between 1 and 9. See |hl-User1..9| | |
7109 | |
1698 | 7110 When displaying a flag, Vim removes the leading comma, if any, when |
7111 that flag comes right after plaintext. This will make a nice display | |
7112 when flags are used like in the examples below. | |
7 | 7113 |
233 | 7114 When all items in a group becomes an empty string (i.e. flags that are |
7 | 7115 not set) and a minwid is not set for the group, the whole group will |
7116 become empty. This will make a group like the following disappear | |
7117 completely from the statusline when none of the flags are set. > | |
7118 :set statusline=...%(\ [%M%R%H]%)... | |

7119 < *g:actual_curbuf* |
7 | 7120 Beware that an expression is evaluated each and every time the status |
7121 line is displayed. The current buffer and current window will be set | |
7122 temporarily to that of the window (and buffer) whose statusline is | |
233 | 7123 currently being drawn. The expression will evaluate in this context. |
7 | 7124 The variable "actual_curbuf" is set to the 'bufnr()' number of the |
634 | 7125 real current buffer. |
7126 | |
3682 | 7127 The 'statusline' option will be evaluated in the |sandbox| if set from |
7128 a modeline, see |sandbox-option|. | |
634 | 7129 |
7130 It is not allowed to change text or jump to another window while | |
7131 evaluating 'statusline' |textlock|. | |
7 | 7132 |
7133 If the statusline is not updated when you want it (e.g., after setting | |
7134 a variable that's used in an expression), you can force an update by | |
7135 setting an option without changing its value. Example: > | |
7136 :let &ro = &ro | |
7137 | |
7138 < A result of all digits is regarded a number for display purposes. | |
7139 Otherwise the result is taken as flag text and applied to the rules | |
7140 described above. | |
7141 | |
199 | 7142 Watch out for errors in expressions. They may render Vim unusable! |
7 | 7143 If you are stuck, hold down ':' or 'Q' to get a prompt, then quit and |
7144 edit your .vimrc or whatever with "vim -u NONE" to get it right. | |
7145 | |
7146 Examples: | |
7147 Emulate standard status line with 'ruler' set > | |
7148 :set statusline=%<%f\ %h%m%r%=%-14.(%l,%c%V%)\ %P | |
7149 < Similar, but add ASCII value of char under the cursor (like "ga") > | |
7150 :set statusline=%<%f%h%m%r%=%b\ 0x%B\ \ %l,%c%V\ %P | |
7151 < Display byte count and byte value, modified flag in red. > | |
7152 :set statusline=%<%f%=\ [%1*%M%*%n%R%H]\ %-19(%3l,%02c%03V%)%O'%02b' | |
7153 :hi User1 term=inverse,bold cterm=inverse,bold ctermfg=red | |
7154 < Display a ,GZ flag if a compressed file is loaded > | |
7155 :set statusline=...%r%{VarExists('b:gzflag','\ [GZ]')}%h... | |

7160 < And define this function: > | |

7165 *'suffixes'* *'su'* | |
7166 'suffixes' 'su' string (default ".bak,~,.o,.h,.info,.swp,.obj") | |
7167 global | |
7168 {not in Vi} | |
7169 Files with these suffixes get a lower priority when multiple files | |
7170 match a wildcard. See |suffixes|. Commas can be used to separate the | |
10 | 7171 suffixes. Spaces after the comma are ignored. A dot is also seen as |
7172 the start of a suffix. To avoid a dot or comma being recognized as a | |
7 | 7173 separator, precede it with a backslash (see |option-backslash| about |
7174 including spaces and backslashes). | |
7175 See 'wildignore' for completely ignoring files. | |
7176 The use of |:set+=| and |:set-=| is preferred when adding or removing | |
7177 suffixes from the list. This avoids problems when a future version | |
7178 uses another default. | |
7179 | |
7180 *'suffixesadd'* *'sua'* | |
7181 'suffixesadd' 'sua' string (default "") | |
7182 local to buffer | |
7183 {not in Vi} | |
7184 {not available when compiled without the | |
7185 |+file_in_path| feature} | |
7186 Comma separated list of suffixes, which are used when searching for a | |
7187 file for the "gf", "[I", etc. commands. Example: > | |
7188 :set suffixesadd=.java | |
7189 < | |
7190 *'swapfile'* *'swf'* *'noswapfile'* *'noswf'* | |
7191 'swapfile' 'swf' boolean (default on) | |
7192 local to buffer | |
7193 {not in Vi} | |
10 | 7194 Use a swapfile for the buffer. This option can be reset when a |
7 | 7195 swapfile is not wanted for a specific buffer. For example, with |
7196 confidential information that even root must not be able to access. | |
7197 Careful: All text will be in memory: | |
7198 - Don't use this for big files. | |
7199 - Recovery will be impossible! | |
7200 A swapfile will only be present when |'updatecount'| is non-zero and | |
7201 'swapfile' is set. | |
7202 When 'swapfile' is reset, the swap file for the current buffer is | |
7203 immediately deleted. When 'swapfile' is set, and 'updatecount' is | |
7204 non-zero, a swap file is immediately created. | |
7205 Also see |swap-file| and |'swapsync'|. | |
5763 | 7206 If you want to open a new buffer without creating a swap file for it, |
7207 use the |:noswapfile| modifier. | |
7 | 7208 |
7209 This option is used together with 'bufhidden' and 'buftype' to | |
7210 specify special kinds of buffers. See |special-buffers|. | |
7211 | |
7212 *'swapsync'* *'sws'* | |
7213 'swapsync' 'sws' string (default "fsync") | |
7214 global | |
7215 {not in Vi} | |
7216 When this option is not empty a swap file is synced to disk after | |
10 | 7217 writing to it. This takes some time, especially on busy unix systems. |
7 | 7218 When this option is empty parts of the swap file may be in memory and |
7219 not written to disk. When the system crashes you may lose more work. | |
7220 On Unix the system does a sync now and then without Vim asking for it, | |
7221 so the disadvantage of setting this option off is small. On some | |
7222 systems the swap file will not be written at all. For a unix system | |
7223 setting it to "sync" will use the sync() call instead of the default | |
7224 fsync(), which may work better on some systems. | |
36 | 7225 The 'fsync' option is used for the actual file. |
7 | 7226 |
7227 *'switchbuf'* *'swb'* | |
7228 'switchbuf' 'swb' string (default "") | |
7229 global | |
7230 {not in Vi} | |
7231 This option controls the behavior when switching between buffers. | |
7232 Possible values (comma separated list): | |
7233 useopen If included, jump to the first open window that | |
7234 contains the specified buffer (if there is one). | |
7235 Otherwise: Do not examine other windows. | |
7236 This setting is checked with |quickfix| commands, when | |
7237 jumping to errors (":cc", ":cn", "cp", etc.). It is | |
7238 also used in all buffer related split commands, for | |
7239 example ":sbuffer", ":sbnext", or ":sbrewind". | |
825 | 7240 usetab Like "useopen", but also consider windows in other tab |
856 | 7241 pages. |
7 | 7242 split If included, split the current window before loading |
3153 | 7243 a buffer for a |quickfix| command that display errors. |
7244 Otherwise: do not split, use current window. | |
6843 | 7245 vsplit Just like "split" but split vertically. |
1621 | 7246 newtab Like "split", but open a new tab page. Overrules |

7253 {not available when compiled without the |+syntax| | |
7254 feature} | |
419 | 7255 Maximum column in which to search for syntax items. In long lines the |
7256 text after this column is not highlighted and following lines may not | |
7257 be highlighted correctly, because the syntax state is cleared. | |
410 | 7258 This helps to avoid very slow redrawing for an XML file that is one |
7259 long line. | |
7260 Set to zero to remove the limit. | |
7261 | |
7 | 7262 *'syntax'* *'syn'* |
7263 'syntax' 'syn' string (default empty) | |
7264 local to buffer | |
7265 {not in Vi} | |
7266 {not available when compiled without the |+syntax| | |
7267 feature} | |
7268 When this option is set, the syntax with this name is loaded, unless | |
7269 syntax highlighting has been switched off with ":syntax off". | |
7270 Otherwise this option does not always reflect the current syntax (the | |
7271 b:current_syntax variable does). | |
7272 This option is most useful in a modeline, for a file which syntax is | |
782 | 7273 not automatically recognized. Example, in an IDL file: |
7274 /* vim: set syntax=idl : */ ~ | |
7275 When a dot appears in the value then this separates two filetype | |
7276 names. Example: | |
7277 /* vim: set syntax=c.doxygen : */ ~ | |
7278 This will use the "c" syntax first, then the "doxygen" syntax. | |
7279 Note that the second one must be prepared to be loaded as an addition, | |
7280 otherwise it will be skipped. More than one dot may appear. | |
7281 To switch off syntax highlighting for the current file, use: > | |
7 | 7282 :set syntax=OFF |
7283 < To switch syntax highlighting on according to the current value of the | |
7284 'filetype' option: > | |
7285 :set syntax=ON | |
7286 < What actually happens when setting the 'syntax' option is that the | |
7287 Syntax autocommand event is triggered with the value as argument. | |
7288 This option is not copied to another buffer, independent of the 's' or | |
7289 'S' flag in 'cpoptions'. | |
36 | 7290 Only normal file name characters can be used, "/\*?[|<>" are illegal. |
7 | 7291 |
699 | 7292 *'tabline'* *'tal'* |
677 | 7293 'tabline' 'tal' string (default empty) |

674 | 7297 feature} |
677 | 7298 When nonempty, this option determines the content of the tab pages |
7299 line at the top of the Vim window. When empty Vim will use a default | |
681 | 7300 tab pages line. See |setting-tabline| for more info. |
677 | 7301 |
7302 The tab pages line only appears as specified with the 'showtabline' | |
688 | 7303 option and only when there is no GUI tab line. When 'e' is in |

677 | 7306 |
7307 The value is evaluated like with 'statusline'. You can use | |
7308 |tabpagenr()|, |tabpagewinnr()| and |tabpagebuflist()| to figure out | |
681 | 7309 the text to be displayed. Use "%1T" for the first label, "%2T" for |
7310 the second one, etc. Use "%X" items for closing labels. | |
677 | 7311 |
7312 Keep in mind that only one of the tab pages is the current one, others | |
7313 are invisible and you can't jump to their windows. | |

7328 local to buffer | |
7329 Number of spaces that a <Tab> in the file counts for. Also see | |
7330 |:retab| command, and 'softtabstop' option. | |
7331 | |
7332 Note: Setting 'tabstop' to any other value than 8 can make your file | |
7333 appear wrong in many places (e.g., when printing it). | |
7334 | |
7335 There are four main ways to use tabs in Vim: | |
7336 1. Always keep 'tabstop' at 8, set 'softtabstop' and 'shiftwidth' to 4 | |
7337 (or 3 or whatever you prefer) and use 'noexpandtab'. Then Vim | |
1263 | 7338 will use a mix of tabs and spaces, but typing <Tab> and <BS> will |
7 | 7339 behave like a tab appears every 4 (or 3) characters. |
7340 2. Set 'tabstop' and 'shiftwidth' to whatever you prefer and use | |
7341 'expandtab'. This way you will always insert spaces. The | |
7342 formatting will never be messed up when 'tabstop' is changed. | |
7343 3. Set 'tabstop' and 'shiftwidth' to whatever you prefer and use a | |
10 | 7344 |modeline| to set these values when editing the file again. Only |
7 | 7345 works when using Vim to edit the file. |
7346 4. Always set 'tabstop' and 'shiftwidth' to the same value, and | |
7347 'noexpandtab'. This should then work (for initial indents only) | |
7348 for any tabstop setting that people use. It might be nice to have | |
7349 tabs after the first non-blank inserted as spaces if you do this | |
7350 though. Otherwise aligned comments will be wrong when 'tabstop' is | |
7351 changed. | |
7352 | |
7353 *'tagbsearch'* *'tbs'* *'notagbsearch'* *'notbs'* | |
7354 'tagbsearch' 'tbs' boolean (default on) | |
7355 global | |
7356 {not in Vi} | |
7357 When searching for a tag (e.g., for the |:ta| command), Vim can either | |
10 | 7358 use a binary search or a linear search in a tags file. Binary |
7 | 7359 searching makes searching for a tag a LOT faster, but a linear search |
7360 will find more tags if the tags file wasn't properly sorted. | |
7361 Vim normally assumes that your tags files are sorted, or indicate that | |
7362 they are not sorted. Only when this is not the case does the | |
7363 'tagbsearch' option need to be switched off. | |
7364 | |
7365 When 'tagbsearch' is on, binary searching is first used in the tags | |
10 | 7366 files. In certain situations, Vim will do a linear search instead for |
7 | 7367 certain files, or retry all files with a linear search. When |
7368 'tagbsearch' is off, only a linear search is done. | |
7369 | |
7370 Linear searching is done anyway, for one file, when Vim finds a line | |
7371 at the start of the file indicating that it's not sorted: > | |
1621 | 7372 !_TAG_FILE_SORTED 0 /some comment/ |
7 | 7373 < [The whitespace before and after the '0' must be a single <Tab>] |

7393 When 'tagbsearch' is off, tags searching is slower when a full match | |
7394 exists, but faster when no full match exists. Tags in unsorted tags | |
7395 files may only be found with 'tagbsearch' off. | |
7396 When the tags file is not sorted, or sorted in a wrong way (not on | |
7397 ASCII byte value), 'tagbsearch' should be off, or the line given above | |
7398 must be included in the tags file. | |
7399 This option doesn't affect commands that find all matching tags (e.g., | |
7400 command-line completion and ":help"). | |

515 | 7444 The |tagfiles()| function can be used to get a list of the file names |
7445 actually used. | |
7 | 7446 If Vim was compiled with the |+emacs_tags| feature, Emacs-style tag |
7447 files are also supported. They are automatically recognized. The | |
7448 default value becomes "./tags,./TAGS,tags,TAGS", unless case | |
7449 differences are ignored (MS-Windows). |emacs-tags| | |
7450 The use of |:set+=| and |:set-=| is preferred when adding or removing | |
7451 file names from the list. This avoids problems when a future version | |
7452 uses another default. | |

7459 When on, the |tagstack| is used normally. When off, a ":tag" or | |
7460 ":tselect" command with an argument will not push the tag onto the | |
7461 tagstack. A following ":tag" without an argument, a ":pop" command or | |
7462 any other command that uses the tagstack will use the unmodified | |
7463 tagstack, but does change the pointer to the active entry. | |
7464 Resetting this option is useful when using a ":tag" command in a | |
7465 mapping which should not change the tagstack. | |

7505 The terminal is in charge of Bi-directionality of text (as specified | |
7506 by Unicode). The terminal is also expected to do the required shaping | |
7507 that some languages (such as Arabic) require. | |
7508 Setting this option implies that 'rightleft' will not be set when | |
7509 'arabic' is set and the value of 'arabicshape' will be ignored. | |
7510 Note that setting 'termbidi' has the immediate effect that | |
7511 'arabicshape' is ignored, but 'rightleft' isn't changed automatically. | |
7512 This option is reset when the GUI is started. | |

7532 For the Win32 GUI and console versions 'termencoding' is not used, |
7 | 7533 because the Win32 system always passes Unicode characters. |
7534 When empty, the same encoding is used as for the 'encoding' option. | |
7535 This is the normal value. | |
7536 Not all combinations for 'termencoding' and 'encoding' are valid. See | |
7537 |encoding-table|. | |
7538 The value for this option must be supported by internal conversions or | |
7539 iconv(). When this is not possible no conversion will be done and you | |
7540 will probably experience problems with non-ASCII characters. | |
7541 Example: You are working with the locale set to euc-jp (Japanese) and | |
7542 want to edit a UTF-8 file: > | |
7543 :let &termencoding = &encoding | |
7544 :set encoding=utf-8 | |
7545 < You need to do this when your system has no locale support for UTF-8. | |

7597 When 'textwidth' is zero, 'wrapmargin' may be used. See also |
7 | 7598 'formatoptions' and |ins-textwidth|. |
838 | 7599 When 'formatexpr' is set it will be used to break the line. |
7 | 7600 NOTE: This option is set to 0 when 'compatible' is set. |
7601 | |
7602 *'thesaurus'* *'tsr'* | |
7603 'thesaurus' 'tsr' string (default "") | |
7604 global or local to buffer |global-local| | |
7605 {not in Vi} | |
7606 List of file names, separated by commas, that are used to lookup words | |
10 | 7607 for thesaurus completion commands |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-T|. Each line in |
7 | 7608 the file should contain words with similar meaning, separated by |
7609 non-keyword characters (white space is preferred). Maximum line | |

7613 ftp://ftp.ox.ac.uk/pub/wordlists/ First get the README file. |
10 | 7614 To include a comma in a file name precede it with a backslash. Spaces |
7 | 7615 after a comma are ignored, otherwise spaces are included in the file |
7616 name. See |option-backslash| about using backslashes. | |
7617 The use of |:set+=| and |:set-=| is preferred when adding or removing | |
7618 directories from the list. This avoids problems when a future version | |
7619 uses another default. | |
7620 Backticks cannot be used in this option for security reasons. | |
7621 | |
7622 *'tildeop'* *'top'* *'notildeop'* *'notop'* | |
7623 'tildeop' 'top' boolean (default off) | |
7624 global | |
7625 {not in Vi} | |
7626 When on: The tilde command "~" behaves like an operator. | |
7627 NOTE: This option is reset when 'compatible' is set. | |
7628 | |
7629 *'timeout'* *'to'* *'notimeout'* *'noto'* | |
7630 'timeout' 'to' boolean (default on) | |
7631 global | |
7632 *'ttimeout'* *'nottimeout'* | |
7633 'ttimeout' boolean (default off) | |
7634 global | |
7635 {not in Vi} | |
7636 These two options together determine the behavior when part of a | |
7637 mapped key sequence or keyboard code has been received: | |
7638 | |
7639 'timeout' 'ttimeout' action ~ | |
7640 off off do not time out | |
7641 on on or off time out on :mappings and key codes | |
7642 off on time out on key codes | |
7643 | |
7644 If both options are off, Vim will wait until either the complete | |
7645 mapping or key sequence has been received, or it is clear that there | |
7646 is no mapping or key sequence for the received characters. For | |
7647 example: if you have mapped "vl" and Vim has received 'v', the next | |
7648 character is needed to see if the 'v' is followed by an 'l'. | |
7649 When one of the options is on, Vim will wait for about 1 second for | |
7650 the next character to arrive. After that the already received | |
7651 characters are interpreted as single characters. The waiting time can | |
7652 be changed with the 'timeoutlen' option. | |
7653 On slow terminals or very busy systems timing out may cause | |
7654 malfunctioning cursor keys. If both options are off, Vim waits | |
7655 forever after an entered <Esc> if there are key codes that start | |
7656 with <Esc>. You will have to type <Esc> twice. If you do not have | |
7657 problems with key codes, but would like to have :mapped key | |
7658 sequences not timing out in 1 second, set the 'ttimeout' option and | |
7659 reset the 'timeout' option. | |
7660 | |
7661 NOTE: 'ttimeout' is reset when 'compatible' is set. | |
7662 | |
7663 *'timeoutlen'* *'tm'* | |
7664 'timeoutlen' 'tm' number (default 1000) | |
7665 global | |
7666 {not in all versions of Vi} | |
7667 *'ttimeoutlen'* *'ttm'* | |
7668 'ttimeoutlen' 'ttm' number (default -1) | |
7669 global | |
7670 {not in Vi} | |
7671 The time in milliseconds that is waited for a key code or mapped key | |
7672 sequence to complete. Also used for CTRL-\ CTRL-N and CTRL-\ CTRL-G | |
7673 when part of a command has been typed. | |
7674 Normally only 'timeoutlen' is used and 'ttimeoutlen' is -1. When a | |
7675 different timeout value for key codes is desired set 'ttimeoutlen' to | |
7676 a non-negative number. | |
7677 | |
7678 ttimeoutlen mapping delay key code delay ~ | |
7679 < 0 'timeoutlen' 'timeoutlen' | |
7680 >= 0 'timeoutlen' 'ttimeoutlen' | |
7681 | |
7682 The timeout only happens when the 'timeout' and 'ttimeout' options | |
7683 tell so. A useful setting would be > | |
7684 :set timeout timeoutlen=3000 ttimeoutlen=100 | |
7685 < (time out on mapping after three seconds, time out on key codes after | |
7686 a tenth of a second). | |
7687 | |
7688 *'title'* *'notitle'* | |
7689 'title' boolean (default off, on when title can be restored) | |
7690 global | |
7691 {not in Vi} | |
7692 {not available when compiled without the |+title| | |
7693 feature} | |
7694 When on, the title of the window will be set to the value of | |
7695 'titlestring' (if it is not empty), or to: | |
7696 filename [+=-] (path) - VIM | |
7697 Where: | |
7698 filename the name of the file being edited | |
7699 - indicates the file cannot be modified, 'ma' off | |
7700 + indicates the file was modified | |
7701 = indicates the file is read-only | |
7702 =+ indicates the file is read-only and modified | |
7703 (path) is the path of the file being edited | |
7704 - VIM the server name |v:servername| or "VIM" | |
7705 Only works if the terminal supports setting window titles | |
7706 (currently Amiga console, Win32 console, all GUI versions and | |
7707 terminals with a non- empty 't_ts' option - these are Unix xterm and | |
7708 iris-ansi by default, where 't_ts' is taken from the builtin termcap). | |
7709 *X11* | |
7710 When Vim was compiled with HAVE_X11 defined, the original title will | |
7711 be restored if possible. The output of ":version" will include "+X11" | |
7712 when HAVE_X11 was defined, otherwise it will be "-X11". This also | |
7713 works for the icon name |'icon'|. | |
7714 But: When Vim was started with the |-X| argument, restoring the title | |
7715 will not work (except in the GUI). | |
7716 If the title cannot be restored, it is set to the value of 'titleold'. | |
7717 You might want to restore the title outside of Vim then. | |
7718 When using an xterm from a remote machine you can use this command: | |
7719 rsh machine_name xterm -display $DISPLAY & | |
7720 then the WINDOWID environment variable should be inherited and the | |
7721 title of the window should change back to what it should be after | |
7722 exiting Vim. | |
7723 | |
7724 *'titlelen'* | |
7725 'titlelen' number (default 85) | |
7726 global | |
7727 {not in Vi} | |
7728 {not available when compiled without the |+title| | |
7729 feature} | |
7730 Gives the percentage of 'columns' to use for the length of the window | |
10 | 7731 title. When the title is longer, only the end of the path name is |
7732 shown. A '<' character before the path name is used to indicate this. | |
7 | 7733 Using a percentage makes this adapt to the width of the window. But |
7734 it won't work perfectly, because the actual number of characters | |
7735 available also depends on the font used and other things in the title | |
7736 bar. When 'titlelen' is zero the full path is used. Otherwise, | |
7737 values from 1 to 30000 percent can be used. | |
7738 'titlelen' is also used for the 'titlestring' option. | |
7739 | |
7740 *'titleold'* | |
7741 'titleold' string (default "Thanks for flying Vim") | |
7742 global | |
7743 {not in Vi} | |
7744 {only available when compiled with the |+title| | |
7745 feature} | |
7746 This option will be used for the window title when exiting Vim if the | |
7747 original title cannot be restored. Only happens if 'title' is on or | |
7748 'titlestring' is not empty. | |
36 | 7749 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for |
7750 security reasons. | |
7 | 7751 *'titlestring'* |
7752 'titlestring' string (default "") | |
7753 global | |
7754 {not in Vi} | |
7755 {not available when compiled without the |+title| | |
7756 feature} | |
7757 When this option is not empty, it will be used for the title of the | |
7758 window. This happens only when the 'title' option is on. | |
7759 Only works if the terminal supports setting window titles (currently | |
7760 Amiga console, Win32 console, all GUI versions and terminals with a | |
7761 non-empty 't_ts' option). | |
7762 When Vim was compiled with HAVE_X11 defined, the original title will | |
7763 be restored if possible |X11|. | |
7764 When this option contains printf-style '%' items, they will be | |
7765 expanded according to the rules used for 'statusline'. | |
7766 Example: > | |
7767 :auto BufEnter * let &titlestring = hostname() . "/" . expand("%:p") | |
7768 :set title titlestring=%<%F%=%l/%L-%P titlelen=70 | |
7769 < The value of 'titlelen' is used to align items in the middle or right | |
7770 of the available space. | |
7771 Some people prefer to have the file name first: > | |
7772 :set titlestring=%t%(\ %M%)%(\ (%{expand(\"%:~:.:h\")})%)%(\ %a%) | |
7773 < Note the use of "%{ }" and an expression to get the path of the file, | |
10 | 7774 without the file name. The "%( %)" constructs are used to add a |
7 | 7775 separating space only when needed. |
7776 NOTE: Use of special characters in 'titlestring' may cause the display | |
7777 to be garbled (e.g., when it contains a CR or NL character). | |
7778 {not available when compiled without the |+statusline| feature} | |
7779 | |
7780 *'toolbar'* *'tb'* | |
7781 'toolbar' 'tb' string (default "icons,tooltips") | |
7782 global | |
7783 {only for |+GUI_GTK|, |+GUI_Athena|, |+GUI_Motif| and | |
7784 |+GUI_Photon|} | |
10 | 7785 The contents of this option controls various toolbar settings. The |
7 | 7786 possible values are: |
7787 icons Toolbar buttons are shown with icons. | |
7788 text Toolbar buttons shown with text. | |
7789 horiz Icon and text of a toolbar button are | |
10 | 7790 horizontally arranged. {only in GTK+ 2 GUI} |
7 | 7791 tooltips Tooltips are active for toolbar buttons. |
7792 Tooltips refer to the popup help text which appears after the mouse | |
7793 cursor is placed over a toolbar button for a brief moment. | |
7794 | |
7795 If you want the toolbar to be shown with icons as well as text, do the | |
7796 following: > | |
7797 :set tb=icons,text | |
7798 < Motif and Athena cannot display icons and text at the same time. They | |
7799 will show icons if both are requested. | |
7800 | |
7801 If none of the strings specified in 'toolbar' are valid or if | |
7802 'toolbar' is empty, this option is ignored. If you want to disable | |
7803 the toolbar, you need to set the 'guioptions' option. For example: > | |
7804 :set guioptions-=T | |
7805 < Also see |gui-toolbar|. | |
7806 | |
7807 *'toolbariconsize'* *'tbis'* | |
7808 'toolbariconsize' 'tbis' string (default "small") | |
7809 global | |
7810 {not in Vi} | |
7811 {only in the GTK+ 2 GUI} | |
7812 Controls the size of toolbar icons. The possible values are: | |

7821 large=24x24, medium=24x24, small=20x20 and tiny=16x16. |
7 | 7822 |
7823 If 'toolbariconsize' is empty, the global default size as determined | |
7824 by user preferences or the current theme is used. | |
7825 | |
7826 *'ttybuiltin'* *'tbi'* *'nottybuiltin'* *'notbi'* | |
7827 'ttybuiltin' 'tbi' boolean (default on) | |
7828 global | |
7829 {not in Vi} | |
7830 When on, the builtin termcaps are searched before the external ones. | |
7831 When off the builtin termcaps are searched after the external ones. | |
7832 When this option is changed, you should set the 'term' option next for | |
7833 the change to take effect, for example: > | |
7834 :set notbi term=$TERM | |
7835 < See also |termcap|. | |
7836 Rationale: The default for this option is "on", because the builtin | |
7837 termcap entries are generally better (many systems contain faulty | |
7838 xterm entries...). | |
7839 | |
7840 *'ttyfast'* *'tf'* *'nottyfast'* *'notf'* | |
7841 'ttyfast' 'tf' boolean (default off, on when 'term' is xterm, hpterm, | |
7842 sun-cmd, screen, rxvt, dtterm or | |
7843 iris-ansi; also on when running Vim in | |
7844 a DOS console) | |
7845 global | |
7846 {not in Vi} | |
7847 Indicates a fast terminal connection. More characters will be sent to | |
7848 the screen for redrawing, instead of using insert/delete line | |
7849 commands. Improves smoothness of redrawing when there are multiple | |
7850 windows and the terminal does not support a scrolling region. | |
7851 Also enables the extra writing of characters at the end of each screen | |
7852 line for lines that wrap. This helps when using copy/paste with the | |
7853 mouse in an xterm and other terminals. | |
7854 | |
7855 *'ttymouse'* *'ttym'* | |
7856 'ttymouse' 'ttym' string (default depends on 'term') | |
7857 global | |
7858 {not in Vi} | |
7859 {only in Unix and VMS, doesn't work in the GUI; not | |
7860 available when compiled without |+mouse|} | |
7861 Name of the terminal type for which mouse codes are to be recognized. | |
1213 | 7862 Currently these strings are valid: |
7 | 7863 *xterm-mouse* |
7864 xterm xterm-like mouse handling. The mouse generates | |
7865 "<Esc>[Mscr", where "scr" is three bytes: | |
7866 "s" = button state | |
7867 "c" = column plus 33 | |
7868 "r" = row plus 33 | |
5908 | 7869 This only works up to 223 columns! See "dec", |
7870 "urxvt", and "sgr" for solutions. | |
7 | 7871 xterm2 Works like "xterm", but with the xterm reporting the |
7872 mouse position while the mouse is dragged. This works | |
7873 much faster and more precise. Your xterm must at | |
180 | 7874 least at patchlevel 88 / XFree 3.3.3 for this to |
7 | 7875 work. See below for how Vim detects this |
7876 automatically. | |
7877 *netterm-mouse* | |
7878 netterm NetTerm mouse handling. The mouse generates | |
7879 "<Esc>}r,c<CR>", where "r,c" are two decimal numbers | |
7880 for the row and column. | |
7881 *dec-mouse* | |
7882 dec DEC terminal mouse handling. The mouse generates a | |
7883 rather complex sequence, starting with "<Esc>[". | |
189 | 7884 This is also available for an Xterm, if it was |
7885 configured with "--enable-dec-locator". | |
7 | 7886 *jsbterm-mouse* |
7887 jsbterm JSB term mouse handling. | |
7888 *pterm-mouse* | |
7889 pterm QNX pterm mouse handling. | |
3224 | 7890 *urxvt-mouse* |
7891 urxvt Mouse handling for the urxvt (rxvt-unicode) terminal. | |
5908 | 7892 The mouse works only if the terminal supports this |
7893 encoding style, but it does not have 223 columns limit | |
7894 unlike "xterm" or "xterm2". | |
3750 | 7895 *sgr-mouse* |
7896 sgr Mouse handling for the terminal that emits SGR-styled | |
5908 | 7897 mouse reporting. The mouse works even in columns |
7898 beyond 223. This option is backward compatible with | |
7899 "xterm2" because it can also decode "xterm2" style | |
7900 mouse codes. | |
7 | 7901 |
7902 The mouse handling must be enabled at compile time |+mouse_xterm| | |
5908 | 7903 |+mouse_dec| |+mouse_netterm| |+mouse_jsbterm| |+mouse_urxvt| |
7904 |+mouse_sgr|. | |
7 | 7905 Only "xterm"(2) is really recognized. NetTerm mouse codes are always |
7906 recognized, if enabled at compile time. DEC terminal mouse codes | |
7907 are recognized if enabled at compile time, and 'ttymouse' is not | |
5908 | 7908 "xterm", "xterm2", "urxvt" or "sgr" (because dec mouse codes conflict |
7909 with them). | |
7 | 7910 This option is automatically set to "xterm", when the 'term' option is |
5908 | 7911 set to a name that starts with "xterm", "mlterm", or "screen", and |
7912 'ttymouse' is not set already. | |
7913 Additionally, if vim is compiled with the |+termresponse| feature and | |
7914 |t_RV| is set to the escape sequence to request the xterm version | |
7915 number, more intelligent detection process runs. | |
7 | 7916 The "xterm2" value will be set if the xterm version is reported to be |
5908 | 7917 from 95 to 276. The "sgr" value will be set if the xterm version is |
7918 277 or highter. | |
7919 If you do not want 'ttymouse' to be set to "xterm2" or "sgr" | |
7920 automatically, set t_RV to an empty string: > | |
7 | 7921 :set t_RV= |
7922 < | |
7923 *'ttyscroll'* *'tsl'* | |
7924 'ttyscroll' 'tsl' number (default 999) | |
7925 global | |
7926 Maximum number of lines to scroll the screen. If there are more lines | |
7927 to scroll the window is redrawn. For terminals where scrolling is | |
7928 very slow and redrawing is not slow this can be set to a small number, | |
7929 e.g., 3, to speed up displaying. | |
7930 | |
7931 *'ttytype'* *'tty'* | |
7932 'ttytype' 'tty' string (default from $TERM) | |
7933 global | |
7934 Alias for 'term', see above. | |
7935 | |

8014 Vim with the "-n" option, see |startup|. When editing in readonly | |
8015 mode this option will be initialized to 10000. | |
8016 The swapfile can be disabled per buffer with |'swapfile'|. | |
8017 When 'updatecount' is set from zero to non-zero, swap files are | |
8018 created for all buffers that have 'swapfile' set. When 'updatecount' | |
8019 is set to zero, existing swap files are not deleted. | |

8040 >= 2 When a file is ":source"'ed. | |
712 | 8041 >= 5 Every searched tags file and include file. |

8043 >= 9 Every executed autocommand. | |

8045 >= 13 When an exception is thrown, caught, finished, or discarded. | |
8046 >= 14 Anything pending in a ":finally" clause. | |
8047 >= 15 Every executed Ex command (truncated at 200 characters). | |
8048 | |
8049 This option can also be set with the "-V" argument. See |-V|. | |
8050 This option is also set by the |:verbose| command. | |

7 | 8157 : Maximum number of items in the command-line history to be |
10 | 8158 saved. When not included, the value of 'history' is used. |
3224 | 8159 *viminfo-<* |
7 | 8160 < Maximum number of lines saved for each register. If zero then |
8161 registers are not saved. When not included, all lines are | |
8162 saved. '"' is the old name for this item. | |
8163 Also see the 's' item below: limit specified in Kbyte. | |
3224 | 8164 *viminfo-@* |
7 | 8165 @ Maximum number of items in the input-line history to be |
10 | 8166 saved. When not included, the value of 'history' is used. |
3224 | 8167 *viminfo-c* |
7 | 8168 c When included, convert the text in the viminfo file from the |
8169 'encoding' used when writing the file to the current | |
233 | 8170 'encoding'. See |viminfo-encoding|. |
3224 | 8171 *viminfo-f* |
7 | 8172 f Whether file marks need to be stored. If zero, file marks ('0 |
8173 to '9, 'A to 'Z) are not stored. When not present or when | |
10 | 8174 non-zero, they are all stored. '0 is used for the current |
7 | 8175 cursor position (when exiting or when doing ":wviminfo"). |
3224 | 8176 *viminfo-h* |
7 | 8177 h Disable the effect of 'hlsearch' when loading the viminfo |
8178 file. When not included, it depends on whether ":nohlsearch" | |
8179 has been used since the last search command. | |
3224 | 8180 *viminfo-n* |
7 | 8181 n Name of the viminfo file. The name must immediately follow |
8182 the 'n'. Must be the last one! If the "-i" argument was | |
8183 given when starting Vim, that file name overrides the one | |
8184 given here with 'viminfo'. Environment variables are expanded | |
8185 when opening the file, not when setting the option. | |
3224 | 8186 *viminfo-r* |
7 | 8187 r Removable media. The argument is a string (up to the next |
8188 ','). This parameter can be given several times. Each | |
8189 specifies the start of a path for which no marks will be | |
8190 stored. This is to avoid removable media. For MS-DOS you | |
8191 could use "ra:,rb:", for Amiga "rdf0:,rdf1:,rdf2:". You can | |
8192 also use it for temp files, e.g., for Unix: "r/tmp". Case is | |
8193 ignored. Maximum length of each 'r' argument is 50 | |
8194 characters. | |
3224 | 8195 *viminfo-s* |
7 | 8196 s Maximum size of an item in Kbyte. If zero then registers are |
8197 not saved. Currently only applies to registers. The default | |
8198 "s10" will exclude registers with more than 10 Kbyte of text. | |
8199 Also see the '<' item above: line count limit. | |
8200 | |
8201 Example: > | |
8202 :set viminfo='50,<1000,s100,:0,n~/vim/viminfo | |
8203 < | |
8204 '50 Marks will be remembered for the last 50 files you | |
8205 edited. | |
8206 <1000 Contents of registers (up to 1000 lines each) will be | |
8207 remembered. | |
8208 s100 Registers with more than 100 Kbyte text are skipped. | |
8209 :0 Command-line history will not be saved. | |
8210 n~/vim/viminfo The name of the file to use is "~/vim/viminfo". | |
8211 no / Since '/' is not specified, the default will be used, | |
8212 that is, save all of the search history, and also the | |
8213 previous search and substitute patterns. | |
8214 no % The buffer list will not be saved nor read back. | |
8215 no h 'hlsearch' highlighting will be restored. | |
8216 | |
8217 When setting 'viminfo' from an empty value you can use |:rviminfo| to | |
8218 load the contents of the file, this is not done automatically. | |
8219 | |
8220 This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for | |
8221 security reasons. | |
8222 | |
8223 *'virtualedit'* *'ve'* | |
8224 'virtualedit' 've' string (default "") | |
8225 global | |
8226 {not in Vi} | |
8227 {not available when compiled without the | |
8228 |+virtualedit| feature} | |
8229 A comma separated list of these words: | |
8230 block Allow virtual editing in Visual block mode. | |
8231 insert Allow virtual editing in Insert mode. | |
8232 all Allow virtual editing in all modes. | |
772 | 8233 onemore Allow the cursor to move just past the end of the line |
782 | 8234 |
7 | 8235 Virtual editing means that the cursor can be positioned where there is |
1263 | 8236 no actual character. This can be halfway into a tab or beyond the end |
7 | 8237 of the line. Useful for selecting a rectangle in Visual mode and |
8238 editing a table. | |
772 | 8239 "onemore" is not the same, it will only allow moving the cursor just |
8240 after the last character of the line. This makes some commands more | |
8241 consistent. Previously the cursor was always past the end of the line | |
8242 if the line was empty. But it is far from Vi compatible. It may also | |
782 | 8243 break some plugins or Vim scripts. For example because |l| can move |
8244 the cursor after the last character. Use with care! | |
5220 | 8245 Using the `$` command will move to the last character in the line, not |
782 | 8246 past it. This may actually move the cursor to the left! |
5220 | 8247 The `g$` command will move to the end of the screen line. |
772 | 8248 It doesn't make sense to combine "all" with "onemore", but you will |
8249 not get a warning for it. | |
7 | 8250 |
8251 *'visualbell'* *'vb'* *'novisualbell'* *'novb'* *beep* | |
8252 'visualbell' 'vb' boolean (default off) | |
8253 global | |
8254 {not in Vi} | |
8255 Use visual bell instead of beeping. The terminal code to display the | |
8256 visual bell is given with 't_vb'. When no beep or flash is wanted, | |
8257 use ":set vb t_vb=". | |
8258 Note: When the GUI starts, 't_vb' is reset to its default value. You | |
8259 might want to set it again in your |gvimrc|. | |
8260 In the GUI, 't_vb' defaults to "<Esc>|f", which inverts the display | |
8261 for 20 msec. If you want to use a different time, use "<Esc>|40f", | |
8262 where 40 is the time in msec. | |
8263 Does not work on the Amiga, you always get a screen flash. | |
8264 Also see 'errorbells'. | |
8265 | |
8266 *'warn'* *'nowarn'* | |
8267 'warn' boolean (default on) | |
8268 global | |
8269 Give a warning message when a shell command is used while the buffer | |
8270 has been changed. | |
8271 | |
8272 *'weirdinvert'* *'wiv'* *'noweirdinvert'* *'nowiv'* | |
8273 'weirdinvert' 'wiv' boolean (default off) | |
8274 global | |
8275 {not in Vi} | |
667 | 8276 This option has the same effect as the 't_xs' terminal option. |
7 | 8277 It is provided for backwards compatibility with version 4.x. |
8278 Setting 'weirdinvert' has the effect of making 't_xs' non-empty, and | |
8279 vice versa. Has no effect when the GUI is running. | |
8280 | |
8281 *'whichwrap'* *'ww'* | |
8282 'whichwrap' 'ww' string (Vim default: "b,s", Vi default: "") | |
8283 global | |
8284 {not in Vi} | |
8285 Allow specified keys that move the cursor left/right to move to the | |
8286 previous/next line when the cursor is on the first/last character in | |
8287 the line. Concatenate characters to allow this for these keys: | |
8288 char key mode ~ | |
8289 b <BS> Normal and Visual | |
8290 s <Space> Normal and Visual | |
712 | 8291 h "h" Normal and Visual (not recommended) |
8292 l "l" Normal and Visual (not recommended) | |
7 | 8293 < <Left> Normal and Visual |
8294 > <Right> Normal and Visual | |
8295 ~ "~" Normal | |
8296 [ <Left> Insert and Replace | |
8297 ] <Right> Insert and Replace | |
8298 For example: > | |
8299 :set ww=<,>,[,] | |
8300 < allows wrap only when cursor keys are used. | |
8301 When the movement keys are used in combination with a delete or change | |
8302 operator, the <EOL> also counts for a character. This makes "3h" | |
8303 different from "3dh" when the cursor crosses the end of a line. This | |
8304 is also true for "x" and "X", because they do the same as "dl" and | |
8305 "dh". If you use this, you may also want to use the mapping | |
8306 ":map <BS> X" to make backspace delete the character in front of the | |
8307 cursor. | |
714 | 8308 When 'l' is included and it is used after an operator at the end of a |
8309 line then it will not move to the next line. This makes "dl", "cl", | |
8310 "yl" etc. work normally. | |
7 | 8311 NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is |
8312 set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. | |
8313 | |
8314 *'wildchar'* *'wc'* | |
8315 'wildchar' 'wc' number (Vim default: <Tab>, Vi default: CTRL-E) | |
8316 global | |
8317 {not in Vi} | |
8318 Character you have to type to start wildcard expansion in the | |
8319 command-line, as specified with 'wildmode'. | |
1621 | 8320 More info here: |cmdline-completion|. |
7 | 8321 The character is not recognized when used inside a macro. See |
8322 'wildcharm' for that. | |
8323 Although 'wc' is a number option, you can set it to a special key: > | |
8324 :set wc=<Esc> | |
8325 < NOTE: This option is set to the Vi default value when 'compatible' is | |
8326 set and to the Vim default value when 'compatible' is reset. | |
8327 | |
8328 *'wildcharm'* *'wcm'* | |
8329 'wildcharm' 'wcm' number (default: none (0)) | |
8330 global | |
8331 {not in Vi} | |
8332 'wildcharm' works exactly like 'wildchar', except that it is | |
233 | 8333 recognized when used inside a macro. You can find "spare" command-line |
8334 keys suitable for this option by looking at |ex-edit-index|. Normally | |
7 | 8335 you'll never actually type 'wildcharm', just use it in mappings that |
8336 automatically invoke completion mode, e.g.: > | |
8337 :set wcm=<C-Z> | |
1621 | 8338 :cnoremap ss so $vim/sessions/*.vim<C-Z> |
7 | 8339 < Then after typing :ss you can use CTRL-P & CTRL-N. |
8340 | |
8341 *'wildignore'* *'wig'* | |
8342 'wildignore' 'wig' string (default "") | |
8343 global | |
8344 {not in Vi} | |
8345 {not available when compiled without the |+wildignore| | |
8346 feature} | |
8347 A list of file patterns. A file that matches with one of these | |
3682 | 8348 patterns is ignored when expanding |wildcards|, completing file or |
8349 directory names, and influences the result of |expand()|, |glob()| and | |
8350 |globpath()| unless a flag is passed to disable this. | |
7 | 8351 The pattern is used like with |:autocmd|, see |autocmd-patterns|. |
8352 Also see 'suffixes'. | |
8353 Example: > | |
8354 :set wildignore=*.o,*.obj | |
8355 < The use of |:set+=| and |:set-=| is preferred when adding or removing | |
8356 a pattern from the list. This avoids problems when a future version | |
8357 uses another default. | |
8358 | |
2652 | 8359 |
2662 | 8360 *'wildignorecase'* *'wic'* *'nowildignorecase'* *'nowic'* |
2652 | 8361 'wildignorecase' 'wic' boolean (default off) |
8362 global | |
8363 {not in Vi} | |
8364 When set case is ignored when completing file names and directories. | |
4242 | 8365 Has no effect when 'fileignorecase' is set. |
2652 | 8366 Does not apply when the shell is used to expand wildcards, which |
8367 happens when there are special characters. | |
8368 | |
8369 | |
7 | 8370 *'wildmenu'* *'wmnu'* *'nowildmenu'* *'nowmnu'* |
8371 'wildmenu' 'wmnu' boolean (default off) | |
8372 global | |
8373 {not in Vi} | |
8374 {not available if compiled without the |+wildmenu| | |
8375 feature} | |
8376 When 'wildmenu' is on, command-line completion operates in an enhanced | |
8377 mode. On pressing 'wildchar' (usually <Tab>) to invoke completion, | |
8378 the possible matches are shown just above the command line, with the | |
8379 first match highlighted (overwriting the status line, if there is | |
8380 one). Keys that show the previous/next match, such as <Tab> or | |
8381 CTRL-P/CTRL-N, cause the highlight to move to the appropriate match. | |
8382 When 'wildmode' is used, "wildmenu" mode is used where "full" is | |
8383 specified. "longest" and "list" do not start "wildmenu" mode. | |
4159 | 8384 You can check the current mode with |wildmenumode()|. |
7 | 8385 If there are more matches than can fit in the line, a ">" is shown on |
8386 the right and/or a "<" is shown on the left. The status line scrolls | |
8387 as needed. | |
8388 The "wildmenu" mode is abandoned when a key is hit that is not used | |
8389 for selecting a completion. | |
8390 While the "wildmenu" is active the following keys have special | |
8391 meanings: | |
8392 | |
8393 <Left> <Right> - select previous/next match (like CTRL-P/CTRL-N) | |
8394 <Down> - in filename/menu name completion: move into a | |
8395 subdirectory or submenu. | |
8396 <CR> - in menu completion, when the cursor is just after a | |
8397 dot: move into a submenu. | |
8398 <Up> - in filename/menu name completion: move up into | |
8399 parent directory or parent menu. | |
8400 | |
8401 This makes the menus accessible from the console |console-menus|. | |
8402 | |
8403 If you prefer the <Left> and <Right> keys to move the cursor instead | |
8404 of selecting a different match, use this: > | |
8405 :cnoremap <Left> <Space><BS><Left> | |
8406 :cnoremap <Right> <Space><BS><Right> | |
8407 < | |
8408 The "WildMenu" highlighting is used for displaying the current match | |
8409 |hl-WildMenu|. | |
8410 | |
8411 *'wildmode'* *'wim'* | |
8412 'wildmode' 'wim' string (Vim default: "full") | |
8413 global | |
8414 {not in Vi} | |
8415 Completion mode that is used for the character specified with | |
10 | 8416 'wildchar'. It is a comma separated list of up to four parts. Each |
1152 | 8417 part specifies what to do for each consecutive use of 'wildchar'. The |
7 | 8418 first part specifies the behavior for the first use of 'wildchar', |
8419 The second part for the second use, etc. | |
8420 These are the possible values for each part: | |
8421 "" Complete only the first match. | |
8422 "full" Complete the next full match. After the last match, | |
8423 the original string is used and then the first match | |
8424 again. | |
8425 "longest" Complete till longest common string. If this doesn't | |
8426 result in a longer string, use the next part. | |
8427 "longest:full" Like "longest", but also start 'wildmenu' if it is | |
8428 enabled. | |
8429 "list" When more than one match, list all matches. | |
8430 "list:full" When more than one match, list all matches and | |
8431 complete first match. | |
8432 "list:longest" When more than one match, list all matches and | |
8433 complete till longest common string. | |
8434 When there is only a single match, it is fully completed in all cases. | |
8435 | |
8436 Examples: > | |
8437 :set wildmode=full | |
233 | 8438 < Complete first full match, next match, etc. (the default) > |
7 | 8439 :set wildmode=longest,full |
8440 < Complete longest common string, then each full match > | |
8441 :set wildmode=list:full | |
8442 < List all matches and complete each full match > | |
8443 :set wildmode=list,full | |
8444 < List all matches without completing, then each full match > | |
8445 :set wildmode=longest,list | |
8446 < Complete longest common string, then list alternatives. | |
1621 | 8447 More info here: |cmdline-completion|. |
7 | 8448 |
40 | 8449 *'wildoptions'* *'wop'* |
8450 'wildoptions' 'wop' string (default "") | |
8451 global | |
8452 {not in Vi} | |
8453 {not available when compiled without the |+wildignore| | |
8454 feature} | |
8455 A list of words that change how command line completion is done. | |
8456 Currently only one word is allowed: | |
8457 tagfile When using CTRL-D to list matching tags, the kind of | |
856 | 8458 tag and the file of the tag is listed. Only one match |
40 | 8459 is displayed per line. Often used tag kinds are: |
8460 d #define | |
8461 f function | |
8462 Also see |cmdline-completion|. | |
8463 | |
7 | 8464 *'winaltkeys'* *'wak'* |
8465 'winaltkeys' 'wak' string (default "menu") | |
8466 global | |
8467 {not in Vi} | |
8468 {only used in Win32, Motif, GTK and Photon GUI} | |
8469 Some GUI versions allow the access to menu entries by using the ALT | |
8470 key in combination with a character that appears underlined in the | |
8471 menu. This conflicts with the use of the ALT key for mappings and | |
8472 entering special characters. This option tells what to do: | |
8473 no Don't use ALT keys for menus. ALT key combinations can be | |
8474 mapped, but there is no automatic handling. This can then be | |
8475 done with the |:simalt| command. | |
8476 yes ALT key handling is done by the windowing system. ALT key | |
8477 combinations cannot be mapped. | |
8478 menu Using ALT in combination with a character that is a menu | |
10 | 8479 shortcut key, will be handled by the windowing system. Other |
7 | 8480 keys can be mapped. |
8481 If the menu is disabled by excluding 'm' from 'guioptions', the ALT | |
8482 key is never used for the menu. | |
36 | 8483 This option is not used for <F10>; on Win32 and with GTK <F10> will |
8484 select the menu, unless it has been mapped. | |
7 | 8485 |
164 | 8486 *'window'* *'wi'* |
8487 'window' 'wi' number (default screen height - 1) | |
8488 global | |
8489 Window height. Do not confuse this with the height of the Vim window, | |
8490 use 'lines' for that. | |
179 | 8491 Used for |CTRL-F| and |CTRL-B| when there is only one window and the |
8492 value is smaller than 'lines' minus one. The screen will scroll | |
8493 'window' minus two lines, with a minimum of one. | |
164 | 8494 When 'window' is equal to 'lines' minus one CTRL-F and CTRL-B scroll |
8495 in a much smarter way, taking care of wrapping lines. | |
8496 When resizing the Vim window, the value is smaller than 1 or more than | |
8497 or equal to 'lines' it will be set to 'lines' minus 1. | |
8498 {Vi also uses the option to specify the number of displayed lines} | |
8499 | |
7 | 8500 *'winheight'* *'wh'* *E591* |
8501 'winheight' 'wh' number (default 1) | |
8502 global | |
8503 {not in Vi} | |

7 | 8505 feature} |
8506 Minimal number of lines for the current window. This is not a hard | |
10 | 8507 minimum, Vim will use fewer lines if there is not enough room. If the |
1621 | 8508 focus goes to a window that is smaller, its size is increased, at the |
8509 cost of the height of other windows. | |
8510 Set 'winheight' to a small number for normal editing. | |
8511 Set it to 999 to make the current window fill most of the screen. | |
8512 Other windows will be only 'winminheight' high. This has the drawback | |
8513 that ":all" will create only two windows. To avoid "vim -o 1 2 3 4" | |
8514 to create only two windows, set the option after startup is done, | |
8515 using the |VimEnter| event: > | |
8516 au VimEnter * set winheight=999 | |
8517 < Minimum value is 1. | |
8518 The height is not adjusted after one of the commands that change the | |
7 | 8519 height of the current window. |
8520 'winheight' applies to the current window. Use 'winminheight' to set | |

8548 {not available when compiled without the |+windows| |
7 | 8549 feature} |
8550 The minimal height of a window, when it's not the current window. | |
8551 This is a hard minimum, windows will never become smaller. | |
8552 When set to zero, windows may be "squashed" to zero lines (i.e. just a | |
8553 status bar) if necessary. They will return to at least one line when | |
8554 they become active (since the cursor has to have somewhere to go.) | |
8555 Use 'winheight' to set the minimal height of the current window. | |
8556 This option is only checked when making a window smaller. Don't use a | |
8557 large number, it will cause errors when opening more than a few | |
8558 windows. A value of 0 to 3 is reasonable. | |
8559 | |

8564 {not available when compiled without the |+vertsplit| |
7 | 8565 feature} |
8566 The minimal width of a window, when it's not the current window. | |
8567 This is a hard minimum, windows will never become smaller. | |
8568 When set to zero, windows may be "squashed" to zero columns (i.e. just | |
8569 a vertical separator) if necessary. They will return to at least one | |
8570 line when they become active (since the cursor has to have somewhere | |
8571 to go.) | |
8572 Use 'winwidth' to set the minimal width of the current window. | |
8573 This option is only checked when making a window smaller. Don't use a | |
8574 large number, it will cause errors when opening more than a few | |
8575 windows. A value of 0 to 12 is reasonable. | |

8581 {not available when compiled without the |+vertsplit| |
7 | 8582 feature} |
8583 Minimal number of columns for the current window. This is not a hard | |
8584 minimum, Vim will use fewer columns if there is not enough room. If | |
8585 the current window is smaller, its size is increased, at the cost of | |
8586 the width of other windows. Set it to 999 to make the current window | |
8587 always fill the screen. Set it to a small number for normal editing. | |
8588 The width is not adjusted after one of the commands to change the | |
8589 width of the current window. | |
8590 'winwidth' applies to the current window. Use 'winminwidth' to set | |
8591 the minimal width for other windows. | |
8592 | |
8593 *'wrap'* *'nowrap'* | |
8594 'wrap' boolean (default on) | |
8595 local to window | |
8596 {not in Vi} | |
8597 This option changes how text is displayed. It doesn't change the text | |
8598 in the buffer, see 'textwidth' for that. | |
8599 When on, lines longer than the width of the window will wrap and | |
10 | 8600 displaying continues on the next line. When off lines will not wrap |
8601 and only part of long lines will be displayed. When the cursor is | |
7 | 8602 moved to a part that is not shown, the screen will scroll |
8603 horizontally. | |
8604 The line will be broken in the middle of a word if necessary. See | |
8605 'linebreak' to get the break at a word boundary. | |
8606 To make scrolling horizontally a bit more useful, try this: > | |
8607 :set sidescroll=5 | |
8608 :set listchars+=precedes:<,extends:> | |
8609 < See 'sidescroll', 'listchars' and |wrap-off|. | |

8613 *'wrapmargin'* *'wm'* | |
8614 'wrapmargin' 'wm' number (default 0) | |
8615 local to buffer | |
8616 Number of characters from the right window border where wrapping | |
8617 starts. When typing text beyond this limit, an <EOL> will be inserted | |
8618 and inserting continues on the next line. | |
8619 Options that add a margin, such as 'number' and 'foldcolumn', cause | |
8620 the text width to be further reduced. This is Vi compatible. | |
8621 When 'textwidth' is non-zero, this option is not used. | |

8636 {not in Vi} | |
8637 Allows writing files. When not set, writing a file is not allowed. | |
8638 Can be used for a view-only mode, where modifications to the text are | |
10 | 8639 still allowed. Can be reset with the |-m| or |-M| command line |
7 | 8640 argument. Filtering text is still possible, even though this requires |
8641 writing a temporary file. | |

8643 *'writeany'* *'wa'* *'nowriteany'* *'nowa'* | |
8644 'writeany' 'wa' boolean (default off) | |
8645 global | |
8646 Allows writing to any file with no need for "!" override. | |

8648 *'writebackup'* *'wb'* *'nowritebackup'* *'nowb'* | |
8649 'writebackup' 'wb' boolean (default on with |+writebackup| feature, off | |
8650 otherwise) | |
8651 global | |
8652 {not in Vi} | |
8653 Make a backup before overwriting a file. The backup is removed after | |
8654 the file was successfully written, unless the 'backup' option is | |
3513 | 8655 also on. |
8656 WARNING: Switching this option off means that when Vim fails to write | |
8657 your buffer correctly and then, for whatever reason, Vim exits, you | |
8658 lose both the original file and what you were writing. Only reset | |
8659 this option if your file system is almost full and it makes the write | |
8660 fail (and make sure not to exit Vim until the write was successful). | |
8661 See |backup-table| for another explanation. | |
7 | 8662 When the 'backupskip' pattern matches, a backup is not made anyway. |
8663 NOTE: This option is set to the default value when 'compatible' is | |
8664 set. | |

8670 The number of microseconds to wait for each character sent to the | |
8671 screen. When non-zero, characters are sent to the terminal one by | |
8672 one. For MS-DOS pcterm this does not work. For debugging purposes. | |
