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

vim-patch:9.0.1958: cannot complete option values
Problem: cannot complete option values
Solution: Add completion functions for several options
Add cmdline tab-completion for setting string options
Add tab-completion for setting string options on the cmdline using
`:set=` (along with `:set+=` and `:set-=`).
The existing tab completion for setting options currently only works
when nothing is typed yet, and it only fills in with the existing value,
e.g. when the user does `:set diffopt=<Tab>` it will be completed to
`set diffopt=internal,filler,closeoff` and nothing else. This isn't too
useful as a user usually wants auto-complete to suggest all the possible
values, such as 'iblank', or 'algorithm:patience'.
For set= and set+=, this adds a new optional callback function for each
option that can be invoked when doing completion. This allows for each
option to have control over how completion works. For example, in
'diffopt', it will suggest the default enumeration, but if `algorithm:`
is selected, it will further suggest different algorithm types like
'meyers' and 'patience'. When using set=, the existing option value will
be filled in as the first choice to preserve the existing behavior. When
using set+= this won't happen as it doesn't make sense.
For flag list options (e.g. 'mouse' and 'guioptions'), completion will
take into account existing typed values (and in the case of set+=, the
existing option value) to make sure it doesn't suggest duplicates.
For set-=, there is a new `ExpandSettingSubtract` function which will
handle flag list and comma-separated options smartly, by only suggesting
values that currently exist in the option.
Note that Vim has some existing code that adds special handling for
'filetype', 'syntax', and misc dir options like 'backupdir'. This change
preserves them as they already work, instead of converting to the new
callback API for each option.

default this is a <Tab>). Many string options with

fixed syntax also support completing known values.

White space between {option} and '=' is allowed and
|
|
|
|
|
will be ignored. White space between '=' and {value}
|
|
|
|
|
is not allowed.
|
|
|
|
|
See |option-backslash| for using white space and

|
|
|
|
backslashes in {value}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:se[t] {option}+={value} *:set+=*
|
|
|
|
|
Add the {value} to a number option, or append the
|
|
|
|
|
{value} to a string option. When the option is a
|
2022-04-08 13:40:56 -07:00
|
|
|
|
comma-separated list, a comma is added, unless the
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
value was empty.
|
|
|
|
|
If the option is a list of flags, superfluous flags
|
|
|
|
|
are removed. When adding a flag that was already
|
|
|
|
|
present the option value doesn't change.
|
|
|
|
|
Also see |:set-args| above.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:se[t] {option}^={value} *:set^=*
|
|
|
|
|
Multiply the {value} to a number option, or prepend
|
|
|
|
|
the {value} to a string option. When the option is a
|
2022-04-08 13:40:56 -07:00
|
|
|
|
comma-separated list, a comma is added, unless the
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
value was empty.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:se[t] {option}-={value} *:set-=*
|
|
|
|
|
Subtract the {value} from a number option, or remove
|
|
|
|
|
the {value} from a string option, if it is there.
|
|
|
|
|
If the {value} is not found in a string option, there
|
2022-04-08 13:40:56 -07:00
|
|
|
|
is no error or warning. When the option is a comma-
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
separated list, a comma is deleted, unless the option
|
|
|
|
|
becomes empty.
|
|
|
|
|
When the option is a list of flags, {value} must be
|
|
|
|
|
exactly as they appear in the option. Remove flags
|
|
|
|
|
one by one to avoid problems.

The individual values from a comma separated list or
|
|
|
|
|
list of flags can be inserted by typing 'wildchar'.
|
|
|
|
|
See |complete-set-option|.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Also see |:set-args| above.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The {option} arguments to ":set" may be repeated. For example: >
|
|
|
|
|
:set ai nosi sw=3 ts=3
|
|
|
|
|
If you make an error in one of the arguments, an error message will be given
|
|
|
|
|
and the following arguments will be ignored.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*:set-verbose*
|
|
|
|
|
When 'verbose' is non-zero, displaying an option value will also tell where it
|
|
|
|
|
was last set. Example: >
|
|
|
|
|
:verbose set shiftwidth cindent?
|
2018-10-29 15:58:13 -07:00
|
|
|
|
< shiftwidth=4 ~
|
|
|
|
|
Last set from modeline line 1 ~
|
|
|
|
|
cindent ~
|
|
|
|
|
Last set from /usr/local/share/vim/vim60/ftplugin/c.vim line 30 ~
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
This is only done when specific option values are requested, not for ":verbose
|
|
|
|
|
set all" or ":verbose set" without an argument.
|
|
|
|
|
When the option was set by hand there is no "Last set" message.
|
|
|
|
|
When the option was set while executing a function, user command or
|
|
|
|
|
autocommand, the script in which it was defined is reported.
|
|
|
|
|
A few special texts:

2018-10-29 15:58:13 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Last set from modeline line 1 ~
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Option was set in a |modeline|.
|
|
|
|
|
Last set from --cmd argument ~
|
|
|
|
|
Option was set with command line argument |--cmd| or +.
|
|
|
|
|
Last set from -c argument ~
|
|
|
|
|
Option was set with command line argument |-c|, +, |-S| or
|
|
|
|
|
|-q|.
|
|
|
|
|
Last set from environment variable ~
|
2020-08-31 00:51:35 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Option was set from $VIMINIT.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Last set from error handler ~
|
|
|
|
|
Option was cleared when evaluating it resulted in an error.
|
|
|
|
|

|
*option-backslash*
|
|
|
|
|
To include white space in a string option value it has to be preceded with a
|
|
|
|
|
backslash. To include a backslash you have to use two. Effectively this
|
|
|
|
|
means that the number of backslashes in an option value is halved (rounded
|
|
|
|
|
down).

vim-patch:9.0.2009: cmdline-completion for comma-separated options wrong (#25569)
Problem: cmdline-completion for comma-separated options wrong
Solution: Fix command-line expansions for options with filenames with
commas
Fix command-line expansions for options with filenames with commas
Cmdline expansion for option values that take a comma-separated list
of file names is currently not handling file names with commas as the
commas are not escaped. For such options, the commas in file names need
to be escaped (to differentiate from a comma that delimit the list
items). The escaped comma is unescaped in `copy_option_part()` during
option parsing.
Fix as follows:
- Cmdline completion for option values with comma-separated file/folder
names will not start a new match when seeing `\\,` and will instead
consider it as one value.
- File/folder regex matching will strip the `\\` when seeing `\\,` to
make sure it can match the correct files/folders.
- The expanded value will escape `,` with `\\,`, similar to how spaces
are escaped to make sure the option value is correct on the cmdline.
This fix also takes into account the fact that Win32 Vim handles file
name escaping differently. Typing '\,' for a file name results in it
being handled literally but in other platforms '\,' is interpreted as a
simple ',' and commas need to be escaped using '\\,' instead.
Also, make sure this new logic only applies to comma-separated options
like 'path'. Non-list options like 'set makeprg=<Tab>' and regular ex
commands like `:edit <Tab>` do not require escaping and will continue to
work.
Also fix up documentation to be clearer. The original docs are slightly
misleading in how it discusses triple slashes for 'tags'.

Comma-separated options like 'backupdir' and 'tags' will also require commas

to be escaped with two backslashes, whereas this is not needed for

|

non-comma-separated ones like 'makeprg'.

The "|" character separates a ":set" command from a following command. To
|
|
|
|
|
include the "|" in the option value, use "\|" instead. This example sets the
|
|
|
|
|
'titlestring' option to "hi|there": >
|
|
|
|
|
:set titlestring=hi\|there
|
|
|
|
|
This sets the 'titlestring' option to "hi" and 'iconstring' to "there": >
|
|
|
|
|
:set titlestring=hi|set iconstring=there
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Similarly, the double quote character starts a comment. To include the '"' in
|
|
|
|
|
the option value, use '\"' instead. This example sets the 'titlestring'
|
2022-12-28 05:39:39 -07:00
|
|
|
|
option to "hi "there"": >
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
:set titlestring=hi\ \"there\"

For Win32 backslashes in file names are mostly not removed. More precise: For
|
|
|
|
|
options that expect a file name (those where environment variables are
|
|
|
|
|
expanded) a backslash before a normal file name character is not removed. But
|
|
|
|
|
a backslash before a special character (space, backslash, comma, etc.) is used
|
|
|
|
|
like explained above.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
There is one special situation, when the value starts with "\\": >
|
|
|
|
|
:set dir=\\machine\path results in "\\machine\path"
|
|
|
|
|
:set dir=\\\\machine\\path results in "\\machine\path"
|
|
|
|
|
:set dir=\\path\\file results in "\\path\file" (wrong!)
|
|
|
|
|
For the first one the start is kept, but for the second one the backslashes
|
|
|
|
|
are halved. This makes sure it works both when you expect backslashes to be
|
|
|
|
|
halved and when you expect the backslashes to be kept. The third gives a
|
|
|
|
|
result which is probably not what you want. Avoid it.

Some options are a list of flags. When you want to add a flag to such an
|
|
|
|
|
option, without changing the existing ones, you can do it like this: >
|
|
|
|
|
:set guioptions+=a
|
|
|
|
|
Remove a flag from an option like this: >
|
|
|
|
|
:set guioptions-=a
|
|
|
|
|
This removes the 'a' flag from 'guioptions'.
|
|
|
|
|
Note that you should add or remove one flag at a time. If 'guioptions' has
|
|
|
|
|
the value "ab", using "set guioptions-=ba" won't work, because the string "ba"
|
|
|
|
|
doesn't appear.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*:set_env* *expand-env* *expand-environment-var*
|
|
|
|
|
Environment variables in specific string options will be expanded. If the
|
|
|
|
|
environment variable exists the '$' and the following environment variable
|
|
|
|
|
name is replaced with its value. If it does not exist the '$' and the name
|
|
|
|
|
are not modified. Any non-id character (not a letter, digit or '_') may
|
|
|
|
|
follow the environment variable name. That character and what follows is
|
|
|
|
|
appended to the value of the environment variable. Examples: >
|
|
|
|
|
:set term=$TERM.new
|
|
|
|
|
:set path=/usr/$INCLUDE,$HOME/include,.
|
|
|
|
|
When adding or removing a string from an option with ":set opt-=val" or ":set
|
|
|
|
|
opt+=val" the expansion is done before the adding or removing.

Handling of local options *local-options*
|
|
|
|
|
|
2023-08-23 01:32:15 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Note: The following also applies to |global-local| options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Some of the options only apply to a window or buffer. Each window or buffer
|
2017-10-17 09:55:12 -07:00
|
|
|
|
has its own copy of this option, thus each can have its own value. This
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
allows you to set 'list' in one window but not in another. And set
|
|
|
|
|
'shiftwidth' to 3 in one buffer and 4 in another.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following explains what happens to these local options in specific
|
|
|
|
|
situations. You don't really need to know all of this, since Vim mostly uses
|
|
|
|
|
the option values you would expect. Unfortunately, doing what the user
|
|
|
|
|
expects is a bit complicated...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When splitting a window, the local options are copied to the new window. Thus
|
|
|
|
|
right after the split the contents of the two windows look the same.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When editing a new buffer, its local option values must be initialized. Since
|
|
|
|
|
the local options of the current buffer might be specifically for that buffer,
|
|
|
|
|
these are not used. Instead, for each buffer-local option there also is a
|
|
|
|
|
global value, which is used for new buffers. With ":set" both the local and
|
|
|
|
|
global value is changed. With "setlocal" only the local value is changed,
|
|
|
|
|
thus this value is not used when editing a new buffer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-10-29 17:04:13 -07:00
|
|
|
|
When editing a buffer that has been edited before, the options from the window
|
|
|
|
|
that was last closed are used again. If this buffer has been edited in this
|
|
|
|
|
window, the values from back then are used. Otherwise the values from the
|
|
|
|
|
last closed window where the buffer was edited last are used.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's possible to set a local window option specifically for a type of buffer.
|
|
|
|
|
When you edit another buffer in the same window, you don't want to keep
|
|
|
|
|
using these local window options. Therefore Vim keeps a global value of the
|
|
|
|
|
local window options, which is used when editing another buffer. Each window
|
|
|
|
|
has its own copy of these values. Thus these are local to the window, but
|
|
|
|
|
global to all buffers in the window. With this you can do: >
|
|
|
|
|
:e one
|
|
|
|
|
:set list
|
|
|
|
|
:e two
|
|
|
|
|
Now the 'list' option will also be set in "two", since with the ":set list"
|
|
|
|
|
command you have also set the global value. >
|
|
|
|
|
:set nolist
|
|
|
|
|
:e one
|
|
|
|
|
:setlocal list
|
|
|
|
|
:e two
|
|
|
|
|
Now the 'list' option is not set, because ":set nolist" resets the global
|
|
|
|
|
value, ":setlocal list" only changes the local value and ":e two" gets the
|
|
|
|
|
global value. Note that if you do this next: >
|
|
|
|
|
:e one
|
|
|
|
|
You will get back the 'list' value as it was the last time you edited "one".
|
|
|
|
|
The options local to a window are remembered for each buffer. This also
|
|
|
|
|
happens when the buffer is not loaded, but they are lost when the buffer is
|
|
|
|
|
wiped out |:bwipe|.

Global options with a local value *global-local*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Options are global when you mostly use one value for all buffers and windows.
|
|
|
|
|
For some global options it's useful to sometimes have a different local value.
|
|
|
|
|
You can set the local value with ":setlocal". That buffer or window will then
|
|
|
|
|
use the local value, while other buffers and windows continue using the global
|
|
|
|
|
value.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, you have two windows, both on C source code. They use the global
|
|
|
|
|
'makeprg' option. If you do this in one of the two windows: >
|
|
|
|
|
:set makeprg=gmake
|
|
|
|
|
then the other window will switch to the same value. There is no need to set
|
|
|
|
|
the 'makeprg' option in the other C source window too.
|
|
|
|
|
However, if you start editing a Perl file in a new window, you want to use
|
|
|
|
|
another 'makeprg' for it, without changing the value used for the C source
|
|
|
|
|
files. You use this command: >
|
|
|
|
|
:setlocal makeprg=perlmake
|
|
|
|
|
You can switch back to using the global value by making the local value empty: >
|
|
|
|
|
:setlocal makeprg=
|
2019-07-28 18:16:37 -07:00
|
|
|
|
This only works for a string option. For a number or boolean option you need
|
|
|
|
|
to use the "<" flag, like this: >
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
:setlocal autoread<
|
2019-07-28 18:16:37 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Note that for non-boolean and non-number options using "<" copies the global
|
|
|
|
|
value to the local value, it doesn't switch back to using the global value
|
|
|
|
|
(that matters when the global value changes later). You can also use: >
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
:set path<
|
|
|
|
|
This will make the local value of 'path' empty, so that the global value is
|
|
|
|
|
used. Thus it does the same as: >
|
|
|
|
|
:setlocal path=
|
2022-01-11 06:14:17 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Note: In the future more global options can be made |global-local|. Using
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
":setlocal" on a global option might work differently then.

Some options ('completefunc', 'omnifunc', 'operatorfunc', 'quickfixtextfunc',
|
|
|
|
|
'tagfunc' and 'thesaurusfunc') are set to a function name or a function
|
|
|

|
reference or a lambda function. When using a lambda it will be converted to
|
|
|
|
|
the name, e.g. "<lambda>123". Examples:

On Unix systems "~user" can be used too. It is replaced by the home directory
|
|
|
|
|
of user "user". Example: >
|
|
|
|
|
:set path=~mool/include,/usr/include,.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On Unix systems the form "${HOME}" can be used too. The name between {} can
|
|
|
|
|
contain non-id characters then. Note that if you want to use this for the
|
|
|
|
|
"gf" command, you need to add the '{' and '}' characters to 'isfname'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: expanding environment variables and "~/" is only done with the ":set"
|
|
|
|
|
command, not when assigning a value to an option with ":let".

|
*$HOME-windows*
|
|
|
|
|
On MS-Windows, if $HOME is not defined as an environment variable, then
|
|
|
|
|
at runtime Vim will set it to the expansion of $HOMEDRIVE$HOMEPATH.
|
2017-11-07 11:34:37 -07:00
|
|
|
|
If $HOMEDRIVE is not set then $USERPROFILE is used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This expanded value is not exported to the environment, this matters when
|
|
|
|
|
running an external command: >
|
|
|
|
|
:echo system('set | findstr ^HOME=')
|
|
|
|
|
and >
|
|
|
|
|
:echo luaeval('os.getenv("HOME")')
|
|
|
|
|
should echo nothing (an empty string) despite exists('$HOME') being true.
|
|
|
|
|
When setting $HOME to a non-empty string it will be exported to the
|
|
|
|
|
subprocesses.

2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note the maximum length of an expanded option is limited. How much depends on
|
|
|
|
|
the system, mostly it is something like 256 or 1024 characters.

2. Automatically setting options *auto-setting*
|
|
|
|
|
|
2022-12-14 11:58:18 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Besides changing options with the ":set" command, you can set options
|
|
|
|
|
automatically in various ways:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. With a |config| file or a |startup| argument. You can create an
|
|
|
|
|
initialization file with |:mkvimrc|, |:mkview| and |:mksession|.
|
|
|
|
|
2. |autocommand|s executed when you edit a file.
|
|
|
|
|
3. ".nvim.lua" files in the current directory, if 'exrc' is enabled.
|
|
|
|
|
4. |editorconfig| in the current buffer's directory or ancestors.
|
|
|
|
|
5. 'modeline' settings found at the beginning or end of the file. See below.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*modeline* *vim:* *vi:* *ex:* *E520*
|
|
|
|
|
There are two forms of modelines. The first form:
|
2021-04-24 16:03:31 -07:00
|
|
|
|
[text{white}]{vi:|vim:|ex:}[white]{options}
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
|
2021-04-24 16:03:31 -07:00
|
|
|
|
[text{white}] empty or any text followed by at least one blank
|
|
|
|
|
character (<Space> or <Tab>); "ex:" always requires at
|
|
|
|
|
least one blank character
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
{vi:|vim:|ex:} the string "vi:", "vim:" or "ex:"
|
|
|
|
|
[white] optional white space
|
|
|
|
|
{options} a list of option settings, separated with white space
|
|
|
|
|
or ':', where each part between ':' is the argument
|
|
|
|
|
for a ":set" command (can be empty)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
|
vi:noai:sw=3 ts=6 ~
|
|
|
|
|
vim: tw=77 ~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The second form (this is compatible with some versions of Vi):
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-04-25 11:24:54 -07:00
|
|
|
|
[text{white}]{vi:|vim:|Vim:|ex:}[white]se[t] {options}:[text]
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
|
2021-04-25 11:24:54 -07:00
|
|
|
|
[text{white}] empty or any text followed by at least one blank
|
|
|
|
|
character (<Space> or <Tab>); "ex:" always requires at
|
|
|
|
|
least one blank character
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
{vi:|vim:|Vim:|ex:} the string "vi:", "vim:", "Vim:" or "ex:"
|
|
|
|
|
[white] optional white space
|
|
|
|
|
se[t] the string "set " or "se " (note the space); When
|
|
|
|
|
"Vim" is used it must be "set".
|
|
|
|
|
{options} a list of options, separated with white space, which
|
|
|
|
|
is the argument for a ":set" command
|
|
|
|
|
: a colon
|
|
|
|
|
[text] any text or empty
|
|
|
|
|
|
2022-10-20 06:20:02 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Examples: >
|
|
|
|
|
/* vim: set ai tw=75: */
|
|
|
|
|
/* Vim: set ai tw=75: */
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The white space before {vi:|vim:|Vim:|ex:} is required. This minimizes the
|
|
|
|
|
chance that a normal word like "lex:" is caught. There is one exception:
|
|
|
|
|
"vi:" and "vim:" can also be at the start of the line (for compatibility with
|
|
|
|
|
version 3.0). Using "ex:" at the start of the line will be ignored (this
|
|
|
|
|
could be short for "example:").
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-09-06 10:05:05 -07:00
|
|
|
|
If the modeline is disabled within a modeline, subsequent modelines will be
|
|
|
|
|
ignored. This is to allow turning off modeline on a per-file basis. This is
|
|
|
|
|
useful when a line looks like a modeline but isn't. For example, it would be
|
|
|
|
|
good to start a YAML file containing strings like "vim:" with
|
|
|
|
|
# vim: nomodeline ~
|
|
|
|
|
so as to avoid modeline misdetection. Following options on the same line
|
|
|
|
|
after modeline deactivation, if any, are still evaluated (but you would
|
|
|
|
|
normally not have any).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
*modeline-local*
|
|
|
|
|
The options are set like with ":setlocal": The new value only applies to the
|
|
|
|
|
buffer and window that contain the file. Although it's possible to set global
|
|
|
|
|
options from a modeline, this is unusual. If you have two windows open and
|
|
|
|
|
the files in it set the same global option to a different value, the result
|
|
|
|
|
depends on which one was opened last.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When editing a file that was already loaded, only the window-local options
|
|
|
|
|
from the modeline are used. Thus if you manually changed a buffer-local
|
|
|
|
|
option after opening the file, it won't be changed if you edit the same buffer
|
|
|
|
|
in another window. But window-local options will be set.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*modeline-version*
|
|
|
|
|
If the modeline is only to be used for some versions of Vim, the version
|
|
|
|
|
number can be specified where "vim:" or "Vim:" is used:
|
|
|
|
|
vim{vers}: version {vers} or later
|
|
|
|
|
vim<{vers}: version before {vers}
|
|
|
|
|
vim={vers}: version {vers}
|
|
|
|
|
vim>{vers}: version after {vers}
|
2016-01-14 09:18:12 -07:00
|
|
|
|
{vers} is 700 for Vim 7.0 (hundred times the major version plus minor).
|
2022-10-20 06:20:02 -07:00
|
|
|
|
For example, to use a modeline only for Vim 7.0: >
|
|
|
|
|
/* vim700: set foldmethod=marker */
|
|
|
|
|
To use a modeline for Vim after version 7.2: >
|
|
|
|
|
/* vim>702: set cole=2: */
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
There can be no blanks between "vim" and the ":".
|
2018-12-08 18:10:54 -07:00
|
|
|
|
The modeline is ignored if {vers} does not fit in an integer.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The number of lines that are checked can be set with the 'modelines' option.
|
|
|
|
|
If 'modeline' is off or 'modelines' is 0 no lines are checked.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that for the first form all of the rest of the line is used, thus a line
|
2022-10-20 06:20:02 -07:00
|
|
|
|
like: >
|
|
|
|
|
/* vi:ts=4: */
|
|
|
|
|
will give an error message for the trailing "*/". This line is OK: >
|
|
|
|
|
/* vi:set ts=4: */
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If an error is detected the rest of the line is skipped.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to include a ':' in a set command precede it with a '\'. The
|
2022-10-20 06:20:02 -07:00
|
|
|
|
backslash in front of the ':' will be removed. Example: >
|
|
|
|
|
/* vi:set fillchars=stl\:^,vert\:\|: */
|
2021-04-24 19:41:44 -07:00
|
|
|
|
This sets the 'fillchars' option to "stl:^,vert:\|". Only a single backslash
|
|
|
|
|
before the ':' is removed. Thus to include "\:" you have to specify "\\:".
|
2019-06-22 18:17:53 -07:00
|
|
|
|
*E992*
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
No other commands than "set" are supported, for security reasons (somebody
|
|
|
|
|
might create a Trojan horse text file with modelines). And not all options
|
2019-06-22 18:17:53 -07:00
|
|
|
|
can be set. For some options a flag is set, so that when the value is used
|
|
|
|
|
the |sandbox| is effective. Some options can only be set from the modeline
|
|
|
|
|
when 'modelineexpr' is set (the default is off).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Still, there is always a small risk that a modeline causes trouble. E.g.,
|
|
|
|
|
when some joker sets 'textwidth' to 5 all your lines are wrapped unexpectedly.
|
|
|
|
|
So disable modelines before editing untrusted text. The mail ftplugin does
|
|
|
|
|
this, for example.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hint: If you would like to do something else than setting an option, you could
|
|
|
|
|
define an autocommand that checks the file for a specific string. For
|
|
|
|
|
example: >
|
|
|
|
|
au BufReadPost * if getline(1) =~ "VAR" | call SetVar() | endif
|
|
|
|
|
And define a function SetVar() that does something with the line containing
|
|
|
|
|
"VAR".

3. Options summary *option-summary*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the list below all the options are mentioned with their full name and with
|
|
|
|
|
an abbreviation if there is one. Both forms may be used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this document when a boolean option is "set" that means that ":set option"
|
|
|
|
|
is entered. When an option is "reset", ":set nooption" is used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most options are the same in all windows and buffers. There are a few that
|
|
|
|
|
are specific to how the text is presented in a window. These can be set to a
|
|
|
|
|
different value in each window. For example the 'list' option can be set in
|
|
|
|
|
one window and reset in another for the same text, giving both types of view
|
|
|
|
|
at the same time. There are a few options that are specific to a certain
|
|
|
|
|
file. These can have a different value for each file or buffer. For example
|
|
|
|
|
the 'textwidth' option can be 78 for a normal text file and 0 for a C
|
|
|
|
|
program.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
global one option for all buffers and windows
|
|
|
|
|
local to window each window has its own copy of this option
|
|
|
|
|
local to buffer each buffer has its own copy of this option
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When creating a new window the option values from the currently active window
|
|
|
|
|
are used as a default value for the window-specific options. For the
|
|
|
|
|
buffer-specific options this depends on the 's' and 'S' flags in the
|
|
|
|
|
'cpoptions' option. If 's' is included (which is the default) the values for
|
|
|
|
|
buffer options are copied from the currently active buffer when a buffer is
|
|
|
|
|
first entered. If 'S' is present the options are copied each time the buffer
|
|
|
|
|
is entered, this is almost like having global options. If 's' and 'S' are not
|
|
|
|
|
present, the options are copied from the currently active buffer when the
|
|
|
|
|
buffer is created.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hidden options *hidden-options*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Not all options are supported in all versions. This depends on the supported
|
|
|
|
|
features and sometimes on the system. A remark about this is in curly braces
|
|
|
|
|
below. When an option is not supported it may still be set without getting an
|
|
|
|
|
error, this is called a hidden option. You can't get the value of a hidden
|
|
|
|
|
option though, it is not stored.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To test if option "foo" can be used with ":set" use something like this: >
|
|
|
|
|
if exists('&foo')
|
|
|
|
|
This also returns true for a hidden option. To test if option "foo" is really
|
|
|
|
|
supported use something like this: >
|
|
|
|
|
if exists('+foo')
|
|
|
|
|
<
|
|
|
|
|
*E355*
|
|
|
|
|
A jump table for the options with a short description can be found at |Q_op|.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
*'allowrevins'* *'ari'* *'noallowrevins'* *'noari'*
|
|
|
|
|
'allowrevins' 'ari' boolean (default off)
|
|
|
|
|
global
|
|
|
|
|
Allow CTRL-_ in Insert and Command-line mode. This is default off, to
|
|
|
|
|
avoid that users that accidentally type CTRL-_ instead of SHIFT-_ get
|
|
|
|
|
into reverse Insert mode, and don't know how to get out. See
|
|
|
|
|
'revins'.

Tells Vim what to do with characters with East Asian Width Class
|
|
|
|
|
Ambiguous (such as Euro, Registered Sign, Copyright Sign, Greek
|
|
|
|
|
letters, Cyrillic letters).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are currently two possible values:
|
|
|
|
|
"single": Use the same width as characters in US-ASCII. This is
|
|
|
|
|
expected by most users.
|
|
|
|
|
"double": Use twice the width of ASCII characters.
|
|
|
|
|
*E834* *E835*
|
|
|
|
|
The value "double" cannot be used if 'listchars' or 'fillchars'
|
2022-08-07 21:08:28 -07:00
|
|
|
|
contains a character that would be double width. These errors may
|
|
|
|
|
also be given when calling setcellwidths().
|
2022-08-07 17:22:10 -07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The values are overruled for characters specified with
|
|
|
|
|
|setcellwidths()|.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are a number of CJK fonts for which the width of glyphs for
|
|
|
|
|
those characters are solely based on how many octets they take in
|
|
|
|
|
legacy/traditional CJK encodings. In those encodings, Euro,
|
|
|
|
|
Registered sign, Greek/Cyrillic letters are represented by two octets,
|
|
|
|
|
therefore those fonts have "wide" glyphs for them. This is also
|
|
|
|
|
true of some line drawing characters used to make tables in text
|
|
|
|
|
file. Therefore, when a CJK font is used for GUI Vim or
|
|
|
|
|
Vim is running inside a terminal (emulators) that uses a CJK font
|
|
|
|
|
(or Vim is run inside an xterm invoked with "-cjkwidth" option.),
|
|
|
|
|
this option should be set to "double" to match the width perceived
|
|
|
|
|
by Vim with the width of glyphs in the font. Perhaps it also has
|
2021-04-25 08:56:17 -07:00
|
|
|
|
to be set to "double" under CJK MS-Windows when the system locale is
|
|
|
|
|
set to one of CJK locales. See Unicode Standard Annex #11

corrections that need to take place for displaying the Arabic language

take effect. Shaping, in essence, gets enabled; the term is a broad

one which encompasses:
|
|
|
|
|
a) the changing/morphing of characters based on their location
|
|
|
|
|
within a word (initial, medial, final and stand-alone).
|

|
b) the enabling of the ability to compose characters

c) the enabling of the required combining of some characters

When on, Vim will change the current working directory whenever you

open a file, switch buffers, delete a buffer or open/close a window.
|
|
|

It will change to the directory containing the file which was opened

the current directory won't change when navigating to it.

When set to "dark" or "light", adjusts the default color groups for

2023-12-16 10:18:45 -07:00

changing 'background' will cause the color scheme to be reloaded. If

2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
the color scheme adjusts to the value of 'background' this will work.
|

However, if the color scheme sets 'background' itself the effect may

be undone. First delete the "g:colors_name" variable when needed.

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

|
|

file has been successfully written. If you do not want to keep the
|
|
|
|
|
backup file, but you do want a backup while the file is being
|
|
|
|
|
written, reset this option and set the 'writebackup' option (this is

|
|
|
|
the default). If you do not want a backup file at all reset both
|
|
|
|
|
options (use this if your file system is almost full). See the

|
|backup-table| for more explanations.

|
|

When the 'backupskip' pattern matches, a backup is not made anyway.

When writing a file and a backup is made, this option tells how it's
|
2022-04-08 13:40:56 -07:00
|
|
|
|
done. This is a comma-separated list of words.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The main values are:
|
|
|
|
|
"yes" make a copy of the file and overwrite the original one
|
|
|
|
|
"no" rename the file and write a new one
|
|
|
|
|
"auto" one of the previous, what works best
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Extra values that can be combined with the ones above are:
|
|
|
|
|
"breaksymlink" always break symlinks when writing
|
|
|
|
|
"breakhardlink" always break hardlinks when writing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Making a copy and overwriting the original file:
|
|
|
|
|
- Takes extra time to copy the file.
|
|
|
|
|
+ When the file has special attributes, is a (hard/symbolic) link or
|
|
|
|
|
has a resource fork, all this is preserved.
|
|
|
|
|
- When the file is a link the backup will have the name of the link,
|
|
|
|
|
not of the real file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Renaming the file and writing a new one:
|
|
|
|
|
+ It's fast.
|
|
|
|
|
- Sometimes not all attributes of the file can be copied to the new
|
|
|
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
|
- When the file is a link the new file will not be a link.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2022-04-08 13:40:56 -07:00
|
|
|
|
The "auto" value is the middle way: When Vim sees that renaming the
|
|
|
|
|
file is possible without side effects (the attributes can be passed on
|
|
|
|
|
and the file is not a link) that is used. When problems are expected,
|
|
|
|
|
a copy will be made.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "breaksymlink" and "breakhardlink" values can be used in
|
|
|
|
|
combination with any of "yes", "no" and "auto". When included, they
|
|
|
|
|
force Vim to always break either symbolic or hard links by doing
|
|
|
|
|
exactly what the "no" option does, renaming the original file to
|
|
|
|
|
become the backup and writing a new file in its place. This can be
|
|
|
|
|
useful for example in source trees where all the files are symbolic or
|
|
|
|
|
hard links and any changes should stay in the local source tree, not
|
|
|
|
|
be propagated back to the original source.
|
|
|
|
|
*crontab*
|
|
|
|
|
One situation where "no" and "auto" will cause problems: A program
|
|
|
|
|
that opens a file, invokes Vim to edit that file, and then tests if
|
|
|
|
|
the open file was changed (through the file descriptor) will check the
|
|
|
|
|
backup file instead of the newly created file. "crontab -e" is an
|
|
|
|
|
example.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When a copy is made, the original file is truncated and then filled
|
|
|
|
|
with the new text. This means that protection bits, owner and
|
2022-04-08 13:40:56 -07:00
|
|
|
|
symbolic links of the original file are unmodified. The backup file,
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
however, is a new file, owned by the user who edited the file. The
|
|
|
|
|
group of the backup is set to the group of the original file. If this
|
|
|
|
|
fails, the protection bits for the group are made the same as for
|
|
|
|
|
others.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2022-04-08 13:40:56 -07:00
|
|
|
|
When the file is renamed, this is the other way around: The backup has
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
the same attributes of the original file, and the newly written file
|
|
|
|
|
is owned by the current user. When the file was a (hard/symbolic)
|
|
|
|
|
link, the new file will not! That's why the "auto" value doesn't
|
|
|
|
|
rename when the file is a link. The owner and group of the newly
|
|
|
|
|
written file will be set to the same ones as the original file, but
|
|
|
|
|
the system may refuse to do this. In that case the "auto" value will
|
|
|
|
|
again not rename the file.

|
of the directory name. To have a space at the start of a directory
|
|
|
|
|
name, precede it with a backslash.
|
|
|
|
|
- To include a comma in a directory name precede it with a backslash.
|
|
|
|
|
- A directory name may end in an '/'.
|
2019-11-18 00:38:27 -07:00
|
|
|
|
- For Unix and Win32, if a directory ends in two path separators "//",
|
|
|
|
|
the swap file name will be built from the complete path to the file
|
|
|
|
|
with all path separators changed to percent '%' signs. This will
|
|
|
|
|
ensure file name uniqueness in the backup directory.
|
|
|
|
|
On Win32, it is also possible to end with "\\". However, When a
|
|
|
|
|
separating comma is following, you must use "//", since "\\" will
|
|
|
|
|
include the comma in the file name. Therefore it is recommended to
|
|
|
|
|
use '//', instead of '\\'.

|
|

|
- Careful with '\' characters, type one before a space, type two to

|
|

If you want to hide your backup files on Unix, consider this value: >

:set backupdir=./.backup,~/.backup,.,/tmp
|
|
|
|
|
< You must create a ".backup" directory in each directory and in your

|
|
|
|
home directory for this to work properly.
|
|
|
|
|
The use of |:set+=| and |:set-=| is preferred when adding or removing
|
|
|
|
|
directories from the list. This avoids problems when a future version
|
|
|
|
|
uses another default.
|
|

WARNING: Not having a backup file means that when Vim fails to write
|
|
|
|
|
your buffer correctly and then, for whatever reason, Vim exits, you
|
|
|
|
|
lose both the original file and what you were writing. Only disable
|
|
|
|
|
backups if you don't care about losing the file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that environment variables are not expanded. If you want to use
|
2023-09-14 06:23:01 -07:00
|
|
|
|
$HOME you must expand it explicitly, e.g.: >vim

|
|
|
:let &backupskip = escape(expand('$HOME'), '\') .. '/tmp/*'

|
|
|
|
'binary' 'bin' boolean (default off)
|
|
|
|
|
local to buffer
|
|
|
|
|
This option should be set before editing a binary file. You can also
|
|
|
|
|
use the |-b| Vim argument. When this option is switched on a few
|
|
|
|
|
options will be changed (also when it already was on):
|
|
|
|
|
'textwidth' will be set to 0
|
|
|
|
|
'wrapmargin' will be set to 0
|
|
|
|
|
'modeline' will be off
|
|
|
|
|
'expandtab' will be off
|
|
|
|
|
Also, 'fileformat' and 'fileformats' options will not be used, the
|
|
|
|
|
file is read and written like 'fileformat' was "unix" (a single <NL>
|
|
|
|
|
separates lines).
|
|
|
|
|
The 'fileencoding' and 'fileencodings' options will not be used, the
|
|
|
|
|
file is read without conversion.
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: When you start editing a(nother) file while the 'bin' option is
|
|
|
|
|
on, settings from autocommands may change the settings again (e.g.,
|
|
|
|
|
'textwidth'), causing trouble when editing. You might want to set
|
|
|
|
|
'bin' again when the file has been loaded.
|
|
|
|
|
The previous values of these options are remembered and restored when
|
|
|
|
|
'bin' is switched from on to off. Each buffer has its own set of
|
|
|
|
|
saved option values.
|
|
|
|
|
To edit a file with 'binary' set you can use the |++bin| argument.
|
|
|
|
|
This avoids you have to do ":set bin", which would have effect for all
|
|
|
|
|
files you edit.
|
|
|
|
|
When writing a file the <EOL> for the last line is only written if
|
|
|
|
|
there was one in the original file (normally Vim appends an <EOL> to
|
|
|
|
|
the last line if there is none; this would make the file longer). See
|
|
|
|
|
the 'endofline' option.

*'bomb'* *'nobomb'*

|
|
|
|
'bomb' boolean (default off)
|
|
|
|
|
local to buffer
|
|
|
|
|
When writing a file and the following conditions are met, a BOM (Byte
|
|
|
|
|
Order Mark) is prepended to the file:
|
|
|
|
|
- this option is on
|
|
|
|
|
- the 'binary' option is off
|
|
|
|
|
- 'fileencoding' is "utf-8", "ucs-2", "ucs-4" or one of the little/big
|
|
|
|
|
endian variants.
|
|
|
|
|
Some applications use the BOM to recognize the encoding of the file.
|
|
|
|
|
Often used for UCS-2 files on MS-Windows. For other applications it
|
|
|
|
|
causes trouble, for example: "cat file1 file2" makes the BOM of file2
|
2015-01-19 23:21:14 -07:00
|
|
|
|
appear halfway through the resulting file. Gcc doesn't accept a BOM.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
When Vim reads a file and 'fileencodings' starts with "ucs-bom", a
|
|
|
|
|
check for the presence of the BOM is done and 'bomb' set accordingly.
|
|
|
|
|
Unless 'binary' is set, it is removed from the first line, so that you
|
|
|
|
|
don't see it when editing. When you don't change the options, the BOM
|
|
|
|
|
will be restored when writing the file.

When this option is set, the buffer shows up in the buffer list. If

it is reset it is not used for ":bnext", "ls", the Buffers menu, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
This option is reset by Vim for buffers that are only used to remember
|
|
|
|
|
a file name or marks. Vim sets it when starting to edit a buffer.
|
|
|

Be careful with changing this option, it can have many side effects!
|
2021-11-07 16:10:44 -07:00
|
|
|
|
One such effect is that Vim will not check the timestamp of the file,
|
|
|
|
|
if the file is changed by another program this will not be noticed.

2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A "quickfix" buffer is only used for the error list and the location
|
|
|
|
|
list. This value is set by the |:cwindow| and |:lwindow| commands and
|
|
|
|
|
you are not supposed to change it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"nofile" and "nowrite" buffers are similar:
|
|
|
|
|
both: The buffer is not to be written to disk, ":w" doesn't
|
|
|
|
|
work (":w filename" does work though).
|
|
|
|
|
both: The buffer is never considered to be |'modified'|.
|
|
|
|
|
There is no warning when the changes will be lost, for
|
|
|
|
|
example when you quit Vim.
|
|
|
|
|
both: A swap file is only created when using too much memory
|
|
|
|
|
(when 'swapfile' has been reset there is never a swap
|
|
|
|
|
file).
|
|
|
|
|
nofile only: The buffer name is fixed, it is not handled like a
|
|
|
|
|
file name. It is not modified in response to a |:cd|
|
|
|
|
|
command.
|
2016-01-14 09:18:12 -07:00
|
|
|
|
both: When using ":e bufname" and already editing "bufname"
|
|
|
|
|
the buffer is made empty and autocommands are
|
|
|
|
|
triggered as usual for |:edit|.

|
|
|
|
|
"acwrite" implies that the buffer name is not related to a file, like
|
|
|
|
|
"nofile", but it will be written. Thus, in contrast to "nofile" and
|
|
|
|
|
"nowrite", ":w" does work and a modified buffer can't be abandoned
|
|
|
|
|
without saving. For writing there must be matching |BufWriteCmd|,
|
|
|
|
|
|FileWriteCmd| or |FileAppendCmd| autocommands.

"internal" is omitted, the towupper() and towlower()
|

|
|
system library functions are used when available.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00

keepascii For the ASCII characters (0x00 to 0x7f) use the US

|
|
|
An expression that is used for character encoding conversion. It is
|
|
|
|
|
evaluated when a file that is to be read or has been written has a
|
|
|
|
|
different encoding from what is desired.
|
|
|
|
|
'charconvert' is not used when the internal iconv() function is
|
|
|
|
|
supported and is able to do the conversion. Using iconv() is
|
|
|
|
|
preferred, because it is much faster.
|
|
|
|
|
'charconvert' is not used when reading stdin |--|, because there is no
|
|
|
|
|
file to convert from. You will have to save the text in a file first.
|
2022-01-31 07:27:01 -07:00
|
|
|
|
The expression must return zero, false or an empty string for success,
|
|
|
|
|
non-zero or true for failure.

|
|
Conversion between "latin1", "unicode", "ucs-2", "ucs-4" and "utf-8"

When Vim is running in the GUI or in a resizable window, setting this
|
|
|
|
|
option will cause the window size to be changed. When you only want
|
2015-10-17 07:25:53 -07:00
|
|
|
|
to use the size for the GUI, put the command in your |ginit.vim| file.

|
|
|

When you set this option and Vim is unable to change the physical
|
|
|
|
|
number of columns of the display, the display may be messed up. For
|
|
|
|
|
the GUI it is always possible and Vim limits the number of columns to
|
|
|
|
|
what fits on the screen. You can use this command to get the widest

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

not executed, this may lead to unexpected completions from some files

(gzipped files for example). Unloaded buffers are not scanned for

whole-line completion.

As you can see, CTRL-N and CTRL-P can be used to do any 'iskeyword'-

menuone Use the popup menu also when there is only one match.

|
|
|
|
match, e.g., what file it comes from.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
longest Only insert the longest common text of the matches. If
|
|
|
|
|
the menu is displayed you can use CTRL-L to add more
|
|
|
|
|
characters. Whether case is ignored depends on the kind
|
|
|
|
|
of completion. For buffer text the 'ignorecase' option is

|
|
used.

|
|
- When this option is set to "slash", a forward slash is used for path
|
|
|
|
|
completion in insert mode. This is useful when editing HTML tag, or
|
|
|
|
|
Makefile with 'noshellslash' on MS-Windows.
|
|
|
|
|
- When this option is set to "backslash", backslash is used. This is
|
|
|
|
|
useful when editing a batch file with 'shellslash' set on MS-Windows.
|
|
|
|
|
- When this option is empty, same character is used as for
|
|
|
|
|
'shellslash'.

For Insert mode completion the buffer-local value is used. For

instead raise a dialog asking if you wish to save the current

Copy the structure of the existing lines indent when autoindenting a

tabs followed by spaces as required (unless |'expandtab'| is enabled,

in which case only spaces are used). Enabling this option makes the

new line copy whatever characters were used for indenting on the

|
|
|

existing line. 'expandtab' has no effect on these characters, a Tab

remains a Tab. If the new indent is greater than on the existing

global
|
|
|
|
|
A sequence of single character flags. When a character is present
|
|
|
|
|
this indicates Vi-compatible behavior. This is used for things where
|
|
|
|
|
not being Vi-compatible is mostly or sometimes preferred.
|
|
|
|
|
'cpoptions' stands for "compatible-options".
|
|
|
|
|
Commas can be added for readability.
|
|
|
|
|
To avoid problems with flags that are added in the future, use the
|
|
|
|
|
"+=" and "-=" feature of ":set" |add-option-flags|.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
contains behavior ~
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-a*
|
|
|
|
|
a When included, a ":read" command with a file name
|
|
|
|
|
argument will set the alternate file name for the
|
|
|
|
|
current window.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-A*
|
|
|
|
|
A When included, a ":write" command with a file name
|
|
|
|
|
argument will set the alternate file name for the
|
|
|
|
|
current window.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-b*
|
|
|
|
|
b "\|" in a ":map" command is recognized as the end of
|
|
|
|
|
the map command. The '\' is included in the mapping,
|
|
|
|
|
the text after the '|' is interpreted as the next
|
|
|
|
|
command. Use a CTRL-V instead of a backslash to
|
|
|
|
|
include the '|' in the mapping. Applies to all
|
|
|
|
|
mapping, abbreviation, menu and autocmd commands.
|
|
|
|
|
See also |map_bar|.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-B*
|
|
|
|
|
B A backslash has no special meaning in mappings,
|
2018-10-29 01:47:02 -07:00
|
|
|
|
abbreviations, user commands and the "to" part of the
|
|
|
|
|
menu commands. Remove this flag to be able to use a
|
|
|
|
|
backslash like a CTRL-V. For example, the command
|
|
|
|
|
":map X \<Esc>" results in X being mapped to:
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
'B' included: "\^[" (^[ is a real <Esc>)
|
|
|
|
|
'B' excluded: "<Esc>" (5 characters)
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-c*
|
|
|
|
|
c Searching continues at the end of any match at the
|
|
|
|
|
cursor position, but not further than the start of the
|
|
|
|
|
next line. When not present searching continues
|
|
|
|
|
one character from the cursor position. With 'c'
|
|
|
|
|
"abababababab" only gets three matches when repeating
|
|
|
|
|
"/abab", without 'c' there are five matches.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-C*
|
|
|
|
|
C Do not concatenate sourced lines that start with a
|
|
|
|
|
backslash. See |line-continuation|.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-d*
|
|
|
|
|
d Using "./" in the 'tags' option doesn't mean to use
|
|
|
|
|
the tags file relative to the current file, but the
|
|
|
|
|
tags file in the current directory.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-D*
|
|
|
|
|
D Can't use CTRL-K to enter a digraph after Normal mode
|
|
|
|
|
commands with a character argument, like |r|, |f| and
|
|
|
|
|
|t|.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-e*
|
|
|
|
|
e When executing a register with ":@r", always add a
|
|
|
|
|
<CR> to the last line, also when the register is not
|
|
|
|
|
linewise. If this flag is not present, the register
|
|
|
|
|
is not linewise and the last line does not end in a
|
|
|
|
|
<CR>, then the last line is put on the command-line
|
|
|
|
|
and can be edited before hitting <CR>.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-E*
|
|
|
|
|
E It is an error when using "y", "d", "c", "g~", "gu" or
|
|
|
|
|
"gU" on an Empty region. The operators only work when
|
2018-10-29 00:31:05 -07:00
|
|
|
|
at least one character is to be operated on. Example:
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
This makes "y0" fail in the first column.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-f*
|
|
|
|
|
f When included, a ":read" command with a file name
|
|
|
|
|
argument will set the file name for the current buffer,
|
|
|
|
|
if the current buffer doesn't have a file name yet.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-F*
|
|
|
|
|
F When included, a ":write" command with a file name
|
|
|
|
|
argument will set the file name for the current
|
|
|
|
|
buffer, if the current buffer doesn't have a file name
|
|
|
|
|
yet. Also see |cpo-P|.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-i*
|
|
|
|
|
i When included, interrupting the reading of a file will
|
|
|
|
|
leave it modified.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-I*
|
|
|
|
|
I When moving the cursor up or down just after inserting
|
|
|
|
|
indent for 'autoindent', do not delete the indent.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-J*
|
|
|
|
|
J A |sentence| has to be followed by two spaces after
|
|
|
|
|
the '.', '!' or '?'. A <Tab> is not recognized as
|
|
|
|
|
white space.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-K*
|
|
|
|
|
K Don't wait for a key code to complete when it is
|
2015-01-19 23:21:14 -07:00
|
|
|
|
halfway through a mapping. This breaks mapping
|
|
|
|
|
<F1><F1> when only part of the second <F1> has been
|
|
|
|
|
read. It enables cancelling the mapping by typing
|
|
|
|
|
<F1><Esc>.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
*cpo-l*
|
|
|
|
|
l Backslash in a [] range in a search pattern is taken
|
|
|
|
|
literally, only "\]", "\^", "\-" and "\\" are special.
|
|
|
|
|
See |/[]|
|
|
|
|
|
'l' included: "/[ \t]" finds <Space>, '\' and 't'
|
|
|
|
|
'l' excluded: "/[ \t]" finds <Space> and <Tab>
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-L*
|
|
|
|
|
L When the 'list' option is set, 'wrapmargin',
|
|
|
|
|
'textwidth', 'softtabstop' and Virtual Replace mode
|
|
|
|
|
(see |gR|) count a <Tab> as two characters, instead of
|
|
|
|
|
the normal behavior of a <Tab>.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-m*
|
|
|
|
|
m When included, a showmatch will always wait half a
|
|
|
|
|
second. When not included, a showmatch will wait half
|
|
|
|
|
a second or until a character is typed. |'showmatch'|
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-M*
|
|
|
|
|
M When excluded, "%" matching will take backslashes into
|
|
|
|
|
account. Thus in "( \( )" and "\( ( \)" the outer
|
|
|
|
|
parenthesis match. When included "%" ignores
|
|
|
|
|
backslashes, which is Vi compatible.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-n*
|
|
|
|
|
n When included, the column used for 'number' and
|
|
|
|
|
'relativenumber' will also be used for text of wrapped
|
|
|
|
|
lines.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-o*
|
|
|
|
|
o Line offset to search command is not remembered for
|
|
|
|
|
next search.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-O*
|
|
|
|
|
O Don't complain if a file is being overwritten, even
|
|
|
|
|
when it didn't exist when editing it. This is a
|
|
|
|
|
protection against a file unexpectedly created by
|
|
|
|
|
someone else. Vi didn't complain about this.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-p*
|
|
|
|
|
p Vi compatible Lisp indenting. When not present, a
|
|
|
|
|
slightly better algorithm is used.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-P*
|
|
|
|
|
P When included, a ":write" command that appends to a
|
|
|
|
|
file will set the file name for the current buffer, if
|
|
|
|
|
the current buffer doesn't have a file name yet and
|
|
|
|
|
the 'F' flag is also included |cpo-F|.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-q*
|
|
|
|
|
q When joining multiple lines leave the cursor at the
|
|
|
|
|
position where it would be when joining two lines.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-r*
|
|
|
|
|
r Redo ("." command) uses "/" to repeat a search
|
|
|
|
|
command, instead of the actually used search string.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-R*
|
|
|
|
|
R Remove marks from filtered lines. Without this flag
|
|
|
|
|
marks are kept like |:keepmarks| was used.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-s*
|
|
|
|
|
s Set buffer options when entering the buffer for the
|
|
|
|
|
first time. This is like it is in Vim version 3.0.
|
|
|
|
|
And it is the default. If not present the options are
|
|
|
|
|
set when the buffer is created.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-S*
|
|
|
|
|
S Set buffer options always when entering a buffer
|
|
|
|
|
(except 'readonly', 'fileformat', 'filetype' and
|
|
|
|
|
'syntax'). This is the (most) Vi compatible setting.
|
|
|
|
|
The options are set to the values in the current
|
|
|
|
|
buffer. When you change an option and go to another
|
|
|
|
|
buffer, the value is copied. Effectively makes the
|
|
|
|
|
buffer options global to all buffers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
's' 'S' copy buffer options
|
|
|
|
|
no no when buffer created
|
|
|
|
|
yes no when buffer first entered (default)
|
|
|
|
|
X yes each time when buffer entered (vi comp.)
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-t*
|
|
|
|
|
t Search pattern for the tag command is remembered for
|
|
|
|
|
"n" command. Otherwise Vim only puts the pattern in
|
|
|
|
|
the history for search pattern, but doesn't change the
|
|
|
|
|
last used search pattern.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-u*
|
|
|
|
|
u Undo is Vi compatible. See |undo-two-ways|.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-v*
|
|
|
|
|
v Backspaced characters remain visible on the screen in
|
|
|
|
|
Insert mode. Without this flag the characters are
|
|
|
|
|
erased from the screen right away. With this flag the
|
|
|
|
|
screen newly typed text overwrites backspaced
|
|
|
|
|
characters.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-W*
|
|
|
|
|
W Don't overwrite a readonly file. When omitted, ":w!"
|
|
|
|
|
overwrites a readonly file, if possible.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-x*
|
|
|
|
|
x <Esc> on the command-line executes the command-line.
|
|
|
|
|
The default in Vim is to abandon the command-line,
|
|
|
|
|
because <Esc> normally aborts a command. |c_<Esc>|
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-X*
|
|
|
|
|
X When using a count with "R" the replaced text is
|
|
|
|
|
deleted only once. Also when repeating "R" with "."
|
|
|
|
|
and a count.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-y*
|
2019-07-28 18:03:53 -07:00
|
|
|
|
y A yank command can be redone with ".". Think twice if
|
|
|
|
|
you really want to use this, it may break some
|
|
|
|
|
plugins, since most people expect "." to only repeat a
|
|
|
|
|
change.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
*cpo-Z*
|
|
|
|
|
Z When using "w!" while the 'readonly' option is set,
|
|
|
|
|
don't reset 'readonly'.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-!*
|
|
|
|
|
! When redoing a filter command, use the last used
|
|
|
|
|
external command, whatever it was. Otherwise the last
|
|
|
|
|
used -filter- command is used.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-$*
|
|
|
|
|
$ When making a change to one line, don't redisplay the
|
|
|
|
|
line, but put a '$' at the end of the changed text.
|
|
|
|
|
The changed text will be overwritten when you type the
|
|
|
|
|
new text. The line is redisplayed if you type any
|
|
|
|
|
command that moves the cursor from the insertion
|
|
|
|
|
point.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-%*
|
|
|
|
|
% Vi-compatible matching is done for the "%" command.
|
|
|
|
|
Does not recognize "#if", "#endif", etc.
|
|
|
|
|
Does not recognize "/*" and "*/".
|
|
|
|
|
Parens inside single and double quotes are also
|
|
|
|
|
counted, causing a string that contains a paren to
|
|
|
|
|
disturb the matching. For example, in a line like
|
|
|
|
|
"if (strcmp("foo(", s))" the first paren does not
|
|
|
|
|
match the last one. When this flag is not included,
|
|
|
|
|
parens inside single and double quotes are treated
|
|
|
|
|
specially. When matching a paren outside of quotes,
|
|
|
|
|
everything inside quotes is ignored. When matching a
|
|
|
|
|
paren inside quotes, it will find the matching one (if
|
|
|
|
|
there is one). This works very well for C programs.
|
|
|
|
|
This flag is also used for other features, such as
|
|
|
|
|
C-indenting.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-+*
|
|
|
|
|
+ When included, a ":write file" command will reset the
|
|
|
|
|
'modified' flag of the buffer, even though the buffer
|
|
|
|
|
itself may still be different from its file.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo->*
|
|
|
|
|
> When appending to a register, put a line break before
|
|
|
|
|
the appended text.
|
|
|
|
|
*cpo-;*
|
|
|
|
|
; When using |,| or |;| to repeat the last |t| search
|
|
|
|
|
and the cursor is right in front of the searched
|
|
|
|
|
character, the cursor won't move. When not included,
|
|
|
|
|
the cursor would skip over it and jump to the
|
|
|
|
|
following occurrence.
|

When this option is set, as the cursor in the current
|
|
|
|
|
window moves other cursorbound windows (windows that also have
|
|
|
|
|
this option set) move their cursors to the corresponding line and
|
|

|
|
column. This option is useful for viewing the
|
|
|
|
|
differences between two versions of a file (see 'diff'); in diff mode,
|
|
|
|
|
inserted and deleted lines (though not characters within a line) are
|
|
|
|
|
taken into account.

anyway.
|

Pattern to be used to find a macro definition. It is a search

|
|
|
|
pattern, just like for the "/" command. This option is used for the
|
|

|
2023-06-24 04:47:10 -07:00

List of file names, separated by commas, that are used to lookup words

|
|
words per line, separated by non-keyword characters (white space is

preferred). Maximum line length is 510 bytes.

To include a comma in a file name precede it with a backslash. Spaces
|
|
|
|
|
after a comma are ignored, otherwise spaces are included in the file
|
|
|
|
|
name. See |option-backslash| about using backslashes.
|
|
|
|

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

Where to find a list of words?
|
2019-02-04 05:21:35 -07:00
|
|
|
|
- BSD/macOS include the "/usr/share/dict/words" file.
|
|
|
|
|
- Try "apt install spell" to get the "/usr/share/dict/words" file on
|
|
|
|
|
apt-managed systems (Debian/Ubuntu).
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
The use of |:set+=| and |:set-=| is preferred when adding or removing
|
|
|

directories from the list. This avoids problems when a future version
|

uses another default.

All are optional. Items must be separated by a comma.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
filler Show filler lines, to keep the text
|
|
|
|
|
synchronized with a window that has inserted
|
|
|
|
|
lines at the same position. Mostly useful
|
|
|
|
|
when windows are side-by-side and 'scrollbind'
|
|
|
|
|
is set.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
context:{n} Use a context of {n} lines between a change
|
|
|
|
|
and a fold that contains unchanged lines.
|
|
|
|
|
When omitted a context of six lines is used.
|
2019-08-01 08:04:25 -07:00
|
|
|
|
When using zero the context is actually one,

Possible items:
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
- The swap file will be created in the first directory where this is
|
2023-07-25 05:07:13 -07:00
|
|
|
|
possible. If it is not possible in any directory, but last
|
2015-10-19 05:27:53 -07:00
|
|
|
|
directory listed in the option does not exist, it is created.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
- Empty means that no swap file will be used (recovery is
|
2019-10-19 14:11:31 -07:00
|
|
|
|
impossible!) and no |E303| error will be given.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
- A directory "." means to put the swap file in the same directory as
|
|
|
|
|
the edited file. On Unix, a dot is prepended to the file name, so
|
|
|
|
|
it doesn't show in a directory listing. On MS-Windows the "hidden"
|
|
|
|
|
attribute is set and a dot prepended if possible.
|
2021-04-25 08:56:17 -07:00
|
|
|
|
- A directory starting with "./" (or ".\" for MS-Windows) means to put
|
|
|
|
|
the swap file relative to where the edited file is. The leading "."
|
|
|
|
|
is replaced with the path name of the edited file.
|
2019-11-18 00:38:27 -07:00
|
|
|
|
- For Unix and Win32, if a directory ends in two path separators "//",
|
|
|
|
|
the swap file name will be built from the complete path to the file
|
2021-04-29 18:13:43 -07:00
|
|
|
|
with all path separators replaced by percent '%' signs (including
|
|
|
|
|
the colon following the drive letter on Win32). This will ensure
|
|
|
|
|
file name uniqueness in the preserve directory.
|
2019-11-18 00:38:27 -07:00
|
|
|
|
On Win32, it is also possible to end with "\\". However, When a
|
|
|
|
|
separating comma is following, you must use "//", since "\\" will
|
|
|
|
|
include the comma in the file name. Therefore it is recommended to
|
|

of the directory name. To have a space at the start of a directory

name, precede it with a backslash.

- To include a comma in a directory name precede it with a backslash.

Editing the same file twice will result in a warning. Using "/tmp" on

is discouraged: if the system crashes you lose the swap file. And

others on the computer may be able to see the files.

Use |:set+=| and |:set-=| when adding or removing directories from the

When on, all the windows are automatically made the same size after

splitting or closing a window. This also happens the moment the

option is switched on. When off, splitting a window will reduce the
|
|

|
|
size of the current window and leave the other windows the same. When

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

(depending on 'splitbelow' and 'splitright').

When mixing vertically and horizontally split windows, a minimal size

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

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

Changing the height and width of a window can be avoided by setting

'winfixheight' and 'winfixwidth', respectively.

If a window size is specified when creating a new window sizes are

See |encoding-names| for the possible values. Additionally, values may be
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|

specified that can be handled by the converter, see

When reading a file 'fileencoding' will be set from 'fileencodings'.
|
|
|
|
|
To read a file in a certain encoding it won't work by setting
|
|
|
|
|
'fileencoding', use the |++enc| argument. One exception: when
|
|
|
|
|
'fileencodings' is empty the value of 'fileencoding' is used.
|
|
|
|
|
For a new file the global value of 'fileencoding' is used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Prepending "8bit-" and "2byte-" has no meaning here, they are ignored.
|
|
|
|
|
When the option is set, the value is converted to lowercase. Thus
|
|
|
|
|
you can set it with uppercase values too. '_' characters are
|
2016-01-27 04:20:44 -07:00
|
|
|
|
replaced with '-'. If a name is recognized from the list at
|
|
|
|
|
|encoding-names|, it is replaced by the standard name. For example
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
"ISO8859-2" becomes "iso-8859-2".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When this option is set, after starting to edit a file, the 'modified'
|
|
|
|
|
option is set, because the file would be different when written.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Keep in mind that changing 'fenc' from a modeline happens
|
|
|
|
|
AFTER the text has been read, thus it applies to when the file will be
|
|
|
|
|
written. If you do set 'fenc' in a modeline, you might want to set
|
|
|
|
|
'nomodified' to avoid not being able to ":q".
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-12-27 11:30:23 -07:00

mentioned character encoding. If an error is detected, the next one
|
|
|
|
|
in the list is tried. When an encoding is found that works,
|
|
|
|
|
'fileencoding' is set to it. If all fail, 'fileencoding' is set to
|
2016-01-27 04:20:44 -07:00
|
|
|
|
an empty string, which means that UTF-8 is used.
|
|

|
|
WARNING: Conversion can cause loss of information! You can use
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
the |++bad| argument to specify what is done with characters
|
|
|
|
|
that can't be converted.
|
|
|
|
|
For an empty file or a file with only ASCII characters most encodings
|
|
|
|
|
will work and the first entry of 'fileencodings' will be used (except
|
|
|
|
|
"ucs-bom", which requires the BOM to be present). If you prefer
|
|
|
|
|
another encoding use an BufReadPost autocommand event to test if your
|
|
|
|
|
preferred encoding is to be used. Example: >
|
|
|
|
|
au BufReadPost * if search('\S', 'w') == 0 |
|
|
|
|
|
\ set fenc=iso-2022-jp | endif
|
|
|
|
|
< This sets 'fileencoding' to "iso-2022-jp" if the file does not contain
|
|
|
|
|
non-blank characters.
|
|
|
|
|
When the |++enc| argument is used then the value of 'fileencodings' is
|
|
|
|
|
not used.
|
|
|
|
|
Note that 'fileencodings' is not used for a new file, the global value
|
|
|
|
|
of 'fileencoding' is used instead. You can set it with: >
|
|
|
|
|
:setglobal fenc=iso-8859-2
|
|
|
|
|
< This means that a non-existing file may get a different encoding than
|
|
|
|
|
an empty file.
|
|
|
|
|
The special value "ucs-bom" can be used to check for a Unicode BOM
|
|
|
|
|
(Byte Order Mark) at the start of the file. It must not be preceded
|
|
|
|
|
by "utf-8" or another Unicode encoding for this to work properly.
|
|
|
|
|
An entry for an 8-bit encoding (e.g., "latin1") should be the last,
|
|
|
|
|
because Vim cannot detect an error, thus the encoding is always
|
|
|
|
|
accepted.
|
|
|
|
|
The special value "default" can be used for the encoding from the
|
2016-01-27 04:20:44 -07:00
|
|
|
|
environment. It is useful when your environment uses a non-latin1
|
|
|
|
|
encoding, such as Russian.
|
|
|
|
|
When a file contains an illegal UTF-8 byte sequence it won't be
|
|
|
|
|
recognized as "utf-8". You can use the |8g8| command to find the
|
|
|
|
|
illegal byte sequence.

file
|
|
|
|

cp1250,latin1 "cp1250" will always be used

If 'fileencodings' is empty, 'fileencoding' is not modified.
|
|
|
|
|
See 'fileencoding' for the possible values.

reading/writing the buffer from/to a file:

2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
unix <NL>
|
|
|
|
|
mac <CR>
|
|
|
|
|
When "dos" is used, CTRL-Z at the end of a file is ignored.
|
|
|
|
|
See |file-formats| and |file-read|.
|
|
|
|
|
For the character encoding of the file see 'fileencoding'.
|
|
|
|
|
When 'binary' is set, the value of 'fileformat' is ignored, file I/O
|
|
|
|
|
works like it was set to "unix".
|
|
|
|
|
This option is set automatically when starting to edit a file and
|
|
|
|
|
'fileformats' is not empty and 'binary' is off.
|
|
|
|
|
When this option is set, after starting to edit a file, the 'modified'
|
|
|
|
|
option is set, because the file would be different when written.
|
2017-12-27 11:30:23 -07:00

This gives the end-of-line (<EOL>) formats that will be tried when
|
|
|
|
|
starting to edit a new buffer and when reading a file into an existing
|
|
|
|
|
buffer:
|
|
|
|
|
- When empty, the format defined with 'fileformat' will be used
|
|
|
|
|
always. It is not set automatically.
|
|
|
|
|
- When set to one name, that format will be used whenever a new buffer
|
|
|
|
|
is opened. 'fileformat' is set accordingly for that buffer. The
|
|
|
|
|
'fileformats' name will be used when a file is read into an existing
|
|
|
|
|
buffer, no matter what 'fileformat' for that buffer is set to.
|
|
|
|
|
- When more than one name is present, separated by commas, automatic
|
|
|
|
|
<EOL> detection will be done when reading a file. When starting to
|
|
|
|
|
edit a file, a check is done for the <EOL>:
|
|
|
|
|
1. If all lines end in <CR><NL>, and 'fileformats' includes "dos",
|
|
|
|
|
'fileformat' is set to "dos".
|
|
|
|
|
2. If a <NL> is found and 'fileformats' includes "unix", 'fileformat'
|
|
|
|
|
is set to "unix". Note that when a <NL> is found without a
|
|
|
|
|
preceding <CR>, "unix" is preferred over "dos".
|
2016-01-14 09:18:12 -07:00
|
|
|
|
3. If 'fileformat' has not yet been set, and if a <CR> is found, and
|
|
|
|
|
if 'fileformats' includes "mac", 'fileformat' is set to "mac".
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
This means that "mac" is only chosen when:
|
|
|
|
|
"unix" is not present or no <NL> is found in the file, and
|
|
|
|
|
"dos" is not present or no <CR><NL> is found in the file.
|
|
|
|
|
Except: if "unix" was chosen, but there is a <CR> before
|
|
|
|
|
the first <NL>, and there appear to be more <CR>s than <NL>s in
|
|
|
|
|
the first few lines, "mac" is used.
|
|
|
|
|
4. If 'fileformat' is still not set, the first name from
|
|
|
|
|
'fileformats' is used.
|
|
|
|
|
When reading a file into an existing buffer, the same is done, but
|
|
|
|
|
this happens like 'fileformat' has been set appropriately for that
|
|
|
|
|
file only, the option is not changed.
|
|
|
|
|
When 'binary' is set, the value of 'fileformats' is not used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-06-22 19:05:27 -07:00
|
|
|
|
When Vim starts up with an empty buffer the first item is used. You
|
|
|
|
|
can overrule this by setting 'fileformat' in your .vimrc.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For systems with a Dos-like <EOL> (<CR><NL>), when reading files that
|
|
|
|
|
are ":source"ed and for vimrc files, automatic <EOL> detection may be
|
|
|
|
|
done:
|
|
|
|
|
- When 'fileformats' is empty, there is no automatic detection. Dos
|
|
|
|
|
format will be used.
|
|
|
|
|
- When 'fileformats' is set to one or more names, automatic detection
|
|
|
|
|
is done. This is based on the first <NL> in the file: If there is a
|
|
|
|
|
<CR> in front of it, Dos format is used, otherwise Unix format is
|
|
|
|
|
used.
|
|
|
|
|

When this option is set, the FileType autocommand event is triggered.
|
|
|
|
|
All autocommands that match with the value of this option will be
|
|
|
|
|
executed. Thus the value of 'filetype' is used in place of the file
|
|
|
|
|
name.
|
|
|
|
|
Otherwise this option does not always reflect the current file type.
|
|
|
|
|
This option is normally set when the file type is detected. To enable
|
|
|
|
|
this use the ":filetype on" command. |:filetype|
|
|
|
|
|
Setting this option to a different value is most useful in a modeline,
|
|
|
|
|
for a file for which the file type is not automatically recognized.
|
2022-10-20 06:20:02 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Example, for in an IDL file: >
|
|
|
|
|
/* vim: set filetype=idl : */
|
|
|
|
|
< |FileType| |filetypes|
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
When a dot appears in the value then this separates two filetype
|
2022-10-20 06:20:02 -07:00
|
|
|
|
names. Example: >
|
|
|
|
|
/* vim: set filetype=c.doxygen : */
|
|
|
|
|
< This will use the "c" filetype first, then the "doxygen" filetype.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
This works both for filetype plugins and for syntax files. More than
|
|
|
|
|
one dot may appear.
|
|
|
|
|
This option is not copied to another buffer, independent of the 's' or
|
|
|
|
|
'S' flag in 'cpoptions'.

The expression used for when 'foldmethod' is "expr". It is evaluated
|
2023-04-17 00:32:49 -07:00
|
|
|
|
for each line to obtain its fold level. The context is set to the

Used only when 'foldmethod' is "indent". Lines starting with
|
|
|
|
|
characters in 'foldignore' will get their fold level from surrounding
|
|
|
|
|
lines. White space is skipped before checking for this character.

Sets the fold level: Folds with a higher level will be closed.
|
|
|
|
|
Setting this option to zero will close all folds. Higher numbers will
|
|
|

Sets 'foldlevel' when starting to edit another buffer in a window.
|
|
|
|
|
Useful to always start editing with all folds closed (value zero),
|
|
|
|
|
some folds closed (one) or no folds closed (99).
|
|
|
|
|
This is done before reading any modeline, thus a setting in a modeline
|
|
|
|
|
overrules this option. Starting to edit a file for |diff-mode| also
|
|
|
|
|
ignores this option and closes all folds.
|
|
|
|
|
It is also done before BufReadPre autocommands, to allow an autocmd to
|
|
|
|
|
overrule the 'foldlevel' value for specific files.
|
|
|
|
|
When the value is negative, it is not used.

|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
local to window
|
|
|
|
|
Sets the number of screen lines above which a fold can be displayed
|
|
|
|
|
closed. Also for manually closed folds. With the default value of
|
|
|
|
|
one a fold can only be closed if it takes up two or more screen lines.
|
|
|
|
|
Set to zero to be able to close folds of just one screen line.
|
|
|
|
|
Note that this only has an effect on what is displayed. After using
|
|
|
|
|
"zc" to close a fold, which is displayed open because it's smaller
|
|
|
|
|
than 'foldminlines', a following "zc" may close a containing fold.

|
|
|
local to window
|
|
|
|
|
Sets the maximum nesting of folds for the "indent" and "syntax"
|
|
|
|
|
methods. This avoids that too many folds will be created. Using more
|
|

When a movement command is used for an operator (e.g., "dl" or "y%")
|
|
|
|
|
this option is not used. This means the operator will include the
|
|
|
|
|
whole closed fold.
|
|
|
|
|
Note that vertical movements are not here, because it would make it
|
|
|

very difficult to move onto a closed fold.
|
|
|
|
|
In insert mode the folds containing the cursor will always be open
|
|
|

|
2017-01-01 21:30:53 -07:00
|
|
|
|
local to buffer
|
|
|
|
|
Expression which is evaluated to format a range of lines for the |gq|
|
|
|
|
|
operator or automatic formatting (see 'formatoptions'). When this
|
|
|
|
|
option is empty 'formatprg' is used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The |v:lnum| variable holds the first line to be formatted.
|
|
|
|
|
The |v:count| variable holds the number of lines to be formatted.
|
|
|
|
|
The |v:char| variable holds the character that is going to be
|
|
|
|
|
inserted if the expression is being evaluated due to
|
|
|
|
|
automatic formatting. This can be empty. Don't insert
|
|
|
|
|
it yet!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example: >
|
|
|
|
|
:set formatexpr=mylang#Format()
|
|
|
|
|
< This will invoke the mylang#Format() function in the
|
|
|
|
|
autoload/mylang.vim file in 'runtimepath'. |autoload|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The expression is also evaluated when 'textwidth' is set and adding
|
|
|
|
|
text beyond that limit. This happens under the same conditions as
|
|
|
|
|
when internal formatting is used. Make sure the cursor is kept in the
|
|
|
|
|
same spot relative to the text then! The |mode()| function will
|
|
|
|
|
return "i" or "R" in this situation.
|
2021-01-04 12:10:34 -07:00
|
|
|
|
|
2017-01-01 21:30:53 -07:00
|
|
|
|
When the expression evaluates to non-zero Vim will fall back to using
|
|
|
|
|
the internal format mechanism.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2022-12-02 17:17:38 -07:00
|
|
|
|
If the expression starts with s: or |<SID>|, then it is replaced with
|
|
|
|
|
the script ID (|local-function|). Example: >
|
|
|
|
|
set formatexpr=s:MyFormatExpr()
|
|
|
|
|
set formatexpr=<SID>SomeFormatExpr()
|
2023-04-17 00:32:49 -07:00
|
|
|
|
< Otherwise, the expression is evaluated in the context of the script
|
|
|
|
|
where the option was set, thus script-local items are available.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-01-01 21:30:53 -07:00
|
|
|
|
The expression will be evaluated in the |sandbox| when set from a
|
|
|
|
|
modeline, see |sandbox-option|. That stops the option from working,
|
|
|
|
|
since changing the buffer text is not allowed.
|
2019-06-22 18:17:53 -07:00
|
|
|

This option cannot be set in a modeline when 'modelineexpr' is off.

|
|
A pattern that is used to recognize a list header. This is used for
|
|
|
|
|
the "n" flag in 'formatoptions'.
|
|
|
|
|
The pattern must match exactly the text that will be the indent for
|
|
|
|
|
the line below it. You can use |/\ze| to mark the end of the match
|
|
|
|
|
while still checking more characters. There must be a character
|
|
|
|
|
following the pattern, when it matches the whole line it is handled
|
|
|
|
|
like there is no match.
|
|
|
|
|
The default recognizes a number, followed by an optional punctuation
|
|
|
|
|
character and white space.

The name of an external program that will be used to format the lines

such a program.

ref #6725
fsync() is very slow on some systems. And since the parent commit, Nvim
is smarter about flushing files at certain times (e.g. CursorHold),
regardless of whether 'fsync' is enabled. So it's less risky to disable
'fsync'.

defaults: disable 'fsync'
ref #6725
fsync() is very slow on some systems. And since the parent commit, Nvim
is smarter about flushing files at certain times (e.g. CursorHold),
regardless of whether 'fsync' is enabled. So it's less risky to disable
'fsync'.

This is a list of fonts which will be used for the GUI version of Vim.
|
|
|
|
|
In its simplest form the value is just one font name. When
|
|
|
|
|
the font cannot be found you will get an error message. To try other
|
|
|
|
|
font names a list can be specified, font names separated with commas.
|
|
|
|
|
The first valid font is used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Spaces after a comma are ignored. To include a comma in a font name
|
|
|
|
|
precede it with a backslash. Setting an option requires an extra
|
|
|
|
|
backslash before a space and a backslash. See also
|
|
|
|
|
|option-backslash|. For example: >
|
|
|
|
|
:set guifont=Screen15,\ 7x13,font\\,with\\,commas
|
|
|
|
|
< will make Vim try to use the font "Screen15" first, and if it fails it
|
|
|
|
|
will try to use "7x13" and then "font,with,commas" instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If none of the fonts can be loaded, Vim will keep the current setting.
|
|
|
|
|
If an empty font list is given, Vim will try using other resource
|
|
|
|
|
settings (for X, it will use the Vim.font resource), and finally it
|
|
|
|
|
will try some builtin default which should always be there ("7x13" in
|
|
|
|
|
the case of X). The font names given should be "normal" fonts. Vim

For Win32 and Mac OS: >

|
|
|
|
:set guifont=*
|
|
|
|
|
< will bring up a font requester, where you can pick the font you want.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2018-11-04 18:47:22 -07:00
|
|
|
|
The font name depends on the GUI used.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For Mac OSX you can use something like this: >
|
|
|
|
|
:set guifont=Monaco:h10
|
2015-05-07 08:20:38 -07:00
|
|
|
|
< *E236*
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Note that the fonts must be mono-spaced (all characters have the same
|
2016-01-11 17:58:39 -07:00
|
|
|
|
width).
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To preview a font on X11, you might be able to use the "xfontsel"
|
|
|
|
|
program. The "xlsfonts" program gives a list of all available fonts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For the Win32 GUI *E244* *E245*
|
|
|
|
|
- takes these options in the font name:
|
|
|
|
|
hXX - height is XX (points, can be floating-point)
|
|
|
|
|
wXX - width is XX (points, can be floating-point)
|
|
|
|
|
b - bold
|
|
|
|
|
i - italic
|
|
|
|
|
u - underline
|
|
|
|
|
s - strikeout
|
|
|
|
|
cXX - character set XX. Valid charsets are: ANSI, ARABIC,
|
|
|
|
|
BALTIC, CHINESEBIG5, DEFAULT, EASTEUROPE, GB2312, GREEK,
|
|
|
|
|
HANGEUL, HEBREW, JOHAB, MAC, OEM, RUSSIAN, SHIFTJIS,
|
|
|
|
|
SYMBOL, THAI, TURKISH, VIETNAMESE ANSI and BALTIC.
|
|
|
|
|
Normally you would use "cDEFAULT".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use a ':' to separate the options.
|
|
|
|
|
- A '_' can be used in the place of a space, so you don't need to use
|
|
|
|
|
backslashes to escape the spaces.

This option only has an effect in the GUI version of Vim. It is a
|
|
|
|
|
sequence of letters which describes what components and options of the
|
|
|
|
|
GUI should be used.
|
|
|
|
|
To avoid problems with flags that are added in the future, use the
|
|
|
|
|
"+=" and "-=" feature of ":set" |add-option-flags|.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Valid letters are as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
*guioptions_a* *'go-a'*
|
|
|
|
|
'a' Autoselect: If present, then whenever VISUAL mode is started,
|
|
|
|
|
or the Visual area extended, Vim tries to become the owner of
|
|
|
|
|
the windowing system's global selection. This means that the
|
|
|
|
|
Visually highlighted text is available for pasting into other
|
|
|
|
|
applications as well as into Vim itself. When the Visual mode
|
|
|
|
|
ends, possibly due to an operation on the text, or when an
|
|
|
|
|
application wants to paste the selection, the highlighted text
|
|
|
|
|
is automatically yanked into the "* selection register.
|
|
|
|
|
Thus the selection is still available for pasting into other
|
|
|
|
|
applications after the VISUAL mode has ended.
|
|
|
|
|
If not present, then Vim won't become the owner of the
|
|
|
|
|
windowing system's global selection unless explicitly told to
|
|
|
|
|
by a yank or delete operation for the "* register.
|
|
|
|
|
The same applies to the modeless selection.
|
|
|
|
|
*'go-P'*
|
|
|
|
|
'P' Like autoselect but using the "+ register instead of the "*
|

2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00

|
*'go-A'*
|

'A' Autoselect for the modeless selection. Like 'a', but only
|
|
|
|
|
applies to the modeless selection.

*'go-p'*

'p' Use Pointer callbacks for X11 GUI. This is required for some
|
|
|
|
|
window managers. If the cursor is not blinking or hollow at
|
|
|
|
|
the right moment, try adding this flag. This must be done
|
|
|
|
|
before starting the GUI. Set it in your |gvimrc|. Adding or
|
|
|
|
|
removing it after the GUI has started has no effect.

|
|
|
|
|
when the window is maximized and will adjust 'lines' and
|
|
|
|
|
'columns' to fit to the window. Without the 'k' flag Vim will

another language, but that will only find tags that exist in that

When there is a previous search pattern, highlight all its matches.

|
|
|
|
The |hl-Search| highlight group determines the highlighting for all
|
|
|
|
|
matches not under the cursor while the |hl-CurSearch| highlight group
|
|
|
|
|
(if defined) determines the highlighting for the match under the
|
|
|
|
|
cursor. If |hl-CurSearch| is not defined, then |hl-Search| is used for
|
|
|
|
|
both. Note that only the matching text is highlighted, any offsets
|
|
|
|
|
are not applied.

See also: 'incsearch' and |:match|.
|
|

When you get bored looking at the highlighted matches, you can turn it
|
|
|
|
|
off with |:nohlsearch|. This does not change the option value, as
|
|
|
|
|
soon as you use a search command, the highlighting comes back.
|
|
|
|
|
'redrawtime' specifies the maximum time spent on finding matches.
|
|
|
|
|
When the search pattern can match an end-of-line, Vim will try to
|
|
|
|
|
highlight all of the matched text. However, this depends on where the
|
|
|
|
|
search starts. This will be the first line in the window or the first
|
|
|
|
|
line below a closed fold. A match in a previous line which is not
|
|
|
|
|
drawn may not continue in a newly drawn line.
|
|
|
|
|
You can specify whether the highlight status is restored on startup
|

Pattern to be used to find an include command. It is a search
|
2023-06-06 09:26:29 -07:00
|
|
|
|
pattern, just like for the "/" command (See |pattern|). This option
|

is used for the commands "[i", "]I", "[d", etc.

2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00

Normally the 'isfname' option is used to recognize the file name that
|
|
|
|
|
comes after the matched pattern. But if "\zs" appears in the pattern
|
|
|
|
|
then the text matched from "\zs" to the end, or until "\ze" if it
|
|
|
|
|
appears, is used as the file name. Use this to include characters
|
|
|
|
|
that are not in 'isfname', such as a space. You can then use
|
|
|
|
|
'includeexpr' to process the matched text.
|
|
|
|
|
See |option-backslash| about including spaces and backslashes.

|
|
|
|
|
'includeexpr' 'inex' string (default "")

|
local to buffer
|
|
|
|
|
Expression to be used to transform the string found with the 'include'
|
|
|
|
|
option to a file name. Mostly useful to change "." to "/" for Java: >
|
2022-11-24 03:23:50 -07:00
|
|
|
|
:setlocal includeexpr=substitute(v:fname,'\\.','/','g')
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
< The "v:fname" variable will be set to the file name that was detected.
|
2022-11-24 03:23:50 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Note the double backslash: the `:set` command first halves them, then
|
|
|
|
|
one remains in the value, where "\." matches a dot literally. For
|
|
|
|
|
simple character replacements `tr()` avoids the need for escaping: >
|
|
|
|
|
:setlocal includeexpr=tr(v:fname,'.','/')
|
|
|
|
|
<
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Also used for the |gf| command if an unmodified file name can't be
|
|
|
|
|
found. Allows doing "gf" on the name after an 'include' statement.
|
|
|
|
|
Also used for |<cfile>|.

|
|
|
2022-12-02 17:17:38 -07:00

the script ID (|local-function|). Example: >

< Otherwise, the expression is evaluated in the context of the script

so far, matches. The matched string is highlighted. If the pattern

|
|
matches while searching, you can turn on and off 'hlsearch' with

CTRL-L can be used to add one character from after the current match
|
|
|
|
|
to the command line. If 'ignorecase' and 'smartcase' are set and the
|
|
|
|

command line has no uppercase characters, the added character is
|
|
|

|
converted to lowercase.

The expression must return the number of spaces worth of indent. It
|
|
|
|
|
can return "-1" to keep the current indent (this means 'autoindent' is
|
|
|
|
|
used for the indent).
|
|
|
|
|
Functions useful for computing the indent are |indent()|, |cindent()|
|
|
|
|
|
and |lispindent()|.
|
|
|
|
|
The evaluation of the expression must not have side effects! It must
|
|
|
|
|
not change the text, jump to another window, etc. Afterwards the
|
|
|
|
|
cursor position is always restored, thus the cursor may be moved.
|
|
|
|
|
Normally this option would be set to call a function: >
|
|
|
|
|
:set indentexpr=GetMyIndent()
|
|
|
|
|
< Error messages will be suppressed, unless the 'debug' option contains
|
|
|
|
|
"msg".
|
|
|
|
|
See |indent-expression|.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The expression will be evaluated in the |sandbox| when set from a
|
|
|
|
|
modeline, see |sandbox-option|.
|
2019-06-22 18:17:53 -07:00

When doing keyword completion in insert mode |ins-completion|, and
|
|
|
|
|
'ignorecase' is also on, the case of the match is adjusted depending
|
|
|
|
|
on the typed text. If the typed text contains a lowercase letter
|
|
|
|
|
where the match has an upper case letter, the completed part is made
|
|
|
|
|
lowercase. If the typed text has no lowercase letters and the match
|
|
|
|
|
has a lowercase letter where the typed text has an uppercase letter,
|
|
|
|
|
and there is a letter before it, the completed part is made uppercase.
|
|
|
|
|
With 'noinfercase' the match is used as-is.

The characters specified by this option are included in file names and
|
|
|
|
|
path names. Filenames are used for commands like "gf", "[i" and in
|
|
|
|
|
the tags file. It is also used for "\f" in a |pattern|.
|
|
|
|
|
Multi-byte characters 256 and above are always included, only the
|
|
|
|
|
characters up to 255 are specified with this option.
|
|
|
|
|
For UTF-8 the characters 0xa0 to 0xff are included as well.
|
|
|
|
|
Think twice before adding white space to this option. Although a
|
|
|
|
|
space may appear inside a file name, the effect will be that Vim
|
|
|
|
|
doesn't know where a file name starts or ends when doing completion.
|
|
|
|
|
It most likely works better without a space in 'isfname'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that on systems using a backslash as path separator, Vim tries to
|
|
|
|
|
do its best to make it work as you would expect. That is a bit
|
|
|
|
|
tricky, since Vi originally used the backslash to escape special
|
|
|
|
|
characters. Vim will not remove a backslash in front of a normal file
|
|
|
|
|
name character on these systems, but it will on Unix and alikes. The
|
|
|
|
|
'&' and '^' are not included by default, because these are special for
|
|
|
|
|
cmd.exe.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The format of this option is a list of parts, separated with commas.
|
|
|
|
|
Each part can be a single character number or a range. A range is two
|
|
|
|
|
character numbers with '-' in between. A character number can be a
|
|
|
|
|
decimal number between 0 and 255 or the ASCII character itself (does
|
|
|
|
|
not work for digits). Example:
|
|
|
|
|
"_,-,128-140,#-43" (include '_' and '-' and the range
|
|
|
|
|
128 to 140 and '#' to 43)
|
|
|
|
|
If a part starts with '^', the following character number or range
|
|
|
|
|
will be excluded from the option. The option is interpreted from left
|
|
|
|
|
to right. Put the excluded character after the range where it is
|
|
|
|
|
included. To include '^' itself use it as the last character of the
|
|
|
|
|
option or the end of a range. Example:
|
|
|
|
|
"^a-z,#,^" (exclude 'a' to 'z', include '#' and '^')
|
|
|
|
|
If the character is '@', all characters where isalpha() returns TRUE
|
|
|
|
|
are included. Normally these are the characters a to z and A to Z,
|
|
|
|
|
plus accented characters. To include '@' itself use "@-@". Examples:
|
|
|
|
|
"@,^a-z" All alphabetic characters, excluding lower
|
|
|
|
|
case ASCII letters.
|
|
|
|
|
"a-z,A-Z,@-@" All letters plus the '@' character.
|
|
|
|
|
A comma can be included by using it where a character number is
|
|
|
|
|
expected. Example:
|
|
|
|
|
"48-57,,,_" Digits, comma and underscore.
|
|
|
|
|
A comma can be excluded by prepending a '^'. Example:
|
|
|
|
|
" -~,^,,9" All characters from space to '~', excluding
|
|
|
|
|
comma, plus <Tab>.
|
|
|

jumplist: browser-style (or 'tagstack') navigation #11530
Traditionally, when navigating to a specific location from the middle of
the jumplist results in shifting the current location to the bottom of
the list and adding the new location after it. This behavior is not
desireable to all users--see, for example
https://vi.stackexchange.com/questions/18344/how-to-change-jumplist-behavior.
Here, another jumplist behavior is introduced. When jumpoptions (a new
option set added here) includes stack, the jumplist behaves like the
tagstack or like history in a web browser. That is, when navigating to
a location from the middle of the jumplist
2 first
1 second
0 third <-- current location
1 fourth
2 fifth
to a new location the locations after the current location in the jump
list are discarded
2 first
1 second
0 third

The result is that when moving forward from that location, the new
location will be appended to the jumplist:
3 first
2 second
1 third
0 new
If the new location is the same
new == second
as some previous (but not immediately prior) entry in the jumplist,
2 first
1 second
0 third <-- current location
1 fourth
2 fifth

3 first

It would be desireable to go farther and, when the new location is the
same as the location that is currently next in the jumplist,

make the result of navigating to the new location by jumping (e.g. 50gg)
be the same as moving forward in the jumplist
2 first

and simply increment the jumplist index. That change is NOT part of
this patch because it would require passing the new cursor location to
the function (setpcmark) from all of its callees. That in turn would
require those callees to know *before* calling what the new cursor
location is, which do they do not currently.

feat(marks): restore viewport on jump #15831
** Refactor
Previously most functions used to "get" a mark returned a position,
changed the line number and sometimes changed even the current buffer.
Now functions return a {x}fmark_T making calling context aware whether
the mark is in another buffer without arcane casting. A new function is
provided for switching to the mark buffer and returning a flag style
Enum to convey what happen in the movement. If the cursor changed, line,
columns, if it changed buffer, etc.
The function to get named mark was split into multiple functions.
- mark_get() -> fmark_T
- mark_get_global() -> xfmark_T
- mark_get_local() -> fmark_T
- mark_get_motion() -> fmark_T
- mark_get_visual() -> fmark_T
Functions that manage the changelist and jumplist were also modified to
return mark types.
- get_jumplist -> fmark_T
- get_changelist -> fmark_T
The refactor is also seen mainly on normal.c, where all the mark
movement has been siphoned through one function nv_gomark, while the
other functions handle getting the mark and setting their movement
flags. To handle whether context marks should be left, etc.
** Mark View
While doing the refactor the concept of a mark view was also
implemented:
The view of a mark currently implemented as the number of lines between
the mark position on creation and the window topline. This allows for
moving not only back to the position of a mark but having the window
look similar to when the mark was defined. This is done by carrying and
extra element in the fmark_T struct, which can be extended later to also
restore horizontal shift.
*** User space features
1. There's a new option, jumpoptions+=view enables the mark view restoring
automatically when using the jumplist, changelist, alternate-file and
mark motions. <C-O> <C-I> g; g, <C-^> '[mark] `[mark]
** Limitations
- The view information is not saved in shada.
- Calls to get_mark should copy the value in the pointer since we are
using pos_to_mark() to wrap and provide a homogeneous interfaces. This
was also a limitation in the previous state of things.

List of comma-separated words, which enable special things that keys

2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00

can do. These values can be used:
|
|
|

startsel Using a shifted special key starts selection (either

|
|
|
|
Select mode or Visual mode, depending on "key" being
|
|
|
|
|
present in 'selectmode').
|
|
|
|
|
stopsel Using a not-shifted special key stops selection.
|
|
|
|

Special keys in this context are the cursor keys, <End>, <Home>,
|
|
|
|
|
<PageUp> and <PageDown>.

Program to use for the |K| command. Environment variables are
|
|
|
|
|
expanded |:set_env|. ":help" may be used to access the Vim internal
|
|
|
|
|
help. (Note that previously setting the global option to the empty

|
2015-01-23 18:03:05 -07:00
|

When "man" or "man -s" is used, Vim will automatically translate
|

a [count] for the "K" command to a section number.

This option allows switching your keyboard into a special language
|
|
|
|
|
mode. When you are typing text in Insert mode the characters are
|
2016-05-13 05:26:34 -07:00
|
|
|
|
inserted directly. When in Normal mode the 'langmap' option takes
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
care of translating these special characters to the original meaning
|
|
|
|
|
of the key. This means you don't have to change the keyboard mode to
|
|
|
|
|
be able to execute Normal mode commands.
|
|
|
|
|
This is the opposite of the 'keymap' option, where characters are
|
|
|
|
|
mapped in Insert mode.
|
2021-04-27 17:26:22 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Also consider setting 'langremap' to off, to prevent 'langmap' from
|
|
|
|
|
applying to characters resulting from a mapping.

The 'langmap' option is a list of parts, separated with commas. Each
|
|
|
|
|
part can be in one of two forms:
|
|
|
|
|
1. A list of pairs. Each pair is a "from" character immediately
|
|
|
|
|
followed by the "to" character. Examples: "aA", "aAbBcC".
|
|
|
|
|
2. A list of "from" characters, a semi-colon and a list of "to"
|
|
|
|
|
characters. Example: "abc;ABC"
|
|
|
|
|
Example: "aA,fgh;FGH,cCdDeE"
|
|
|
|
|
Special characters need to be preceded with a backslash. These are
|
2021-05-01 11:08:45 -07:00
|
|
|
|
";", ',', '"', '|' and backslash itself.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will allow you to activate vim actions without having to switch
|
|
|
|
|
back and forth between the languages. Your language characters will
|
|
|
|
|
be understood as normal vim English characters (according to the
|
|
|
|
|
langmap mappings) in the following cases:
|
|
|
|
|
o Normal/Visual mode (commands, buffer/register names, user mappings)
|
|
|
|
|
o Insert/Replace Mode: Register names after CTRL-R
|
|
|
|
|
o Insert/Replace Mode: Mappings
|
|
|
|
|
Characters entered in Command-line mode will NOT be affected by
|
|
|
|
|
this option. Note that this option can be changed at any time
|
|
|
|
|
allowing to switch between mappings for different languages/encodings.
|
|
|
|
|
Use a mapping to avoid having to type it each time!

When this option is set, the screen will not be redrawn while

'linebreak' 'lbr' boolean (default off)

local to window
|
|
|
|
|
If on, Vim will wrap long lines at a character in 'breakat' rather
|
|
|
|
|
than at the last character that fits on the screen. Unlike
|
|
|
|
|
'wrapmargin' and 'textwidth', this does not insert <EOL>s in the file,
|
|
|
|
|
it only affects the way the file is displayed, not its contents.
|
|
|
|
|
If 'breakindent' is set, line is visually indented. Then, the value
|
|
|
|
|
of 'showbreak' is used to put in front of wrapped lines. This option
|
|
|
|
|
is not used when the 'wrap' option is off.
|
|
|
|
|
Note that <Tab> characters after an <EOL> are mostly not displayed
|
|
|
|
|
with the right amount of white space.

global
|
|
|
|
|
Number of lines of the Vim window.
|
|

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

When Vim is running in the GUI or in a resizable window, setting this
|
|
|
|
|
option will cause the window size to be changed. When you only want
|
|
|
|
|
to use the size for the GUI, put the command in your |gvimrc| file.
|
|
|
|
|
Vim limits the number of lines to what fits on the screen. You can
|
|
|
|
|
use this command to get the tallest window possible: >
|
|
|
|
|
:set lines=999

Number of pixel lines inserted between characters. Useful if the font

|
|
uses the full character cell height, making lines touch each other.
|
|
|
|
|
When non-zero there is room for underlining.
|
|
|
|
|
With some fonts there can be too much room between lines (to have
|
|
|
|
|
space for ascents and descents). Then it makes sense to set
|
|
|
|
|
'linespace' to a negative value. This may cause display problems

though!

Lisp mode: When <Enter> is typed in insert mode set the indent for

the next line to Lisp standards (well, sort of). Also happens with
|
|
|
|
|
"cc" or "S". 'autoindent' must also be on for this to work. The 'p'
|
|
|
|
|
flag in 'cpoptions' changes the method of indenting: Vi compatible or
|
|
|
|
|
better. Also see 'lispwords'.
|
|
|
|
|
The '-' character is included in keyword characters. Redefines the

"=" operator to use this same indentation algorithm rather than
|

calling an external program if 'equalprg' is empty.

Only switch it off when working with old Vi scripts. In any other

situation write patterns that work when 'magic' is on. Include "\M"

When it is empty, an internally generated temp file will be used.
|

When "##" is included, it is replaced by a number to make the name

'makeencoding' 'menc' string (default "")
|
|

global or local to buffer |global-local|

|
|
|
|
Encoding used for reading the output of external commands. When empty,
|
|
|
|
|
encoding is not converted.
|
|
|
|
|
This is used for `:make`, `:lmake`, `:grep`, `:lgrep`, `:grepadd`,
|
|
|
|
|
`:lgrepadd`, `:cfile`, `:cgetfile`, `:caddfile`, `:lfile`, `:lgetfile`,

This would be mostly useful when you use MS-Windows. If iconv is

This option may contain '%' and '#' characters (see |:_%| and |:_#|),

which are expanded to the current and alternate file name. Use |::S|
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00

Environment variables are expanded |:set_env|. See |option-backslash|
|

|
about including spaces and backslashes.
|
|
|
|
|
Note that a '|' must be escaped twice: once for ":set" and once for
|
|
|
|
|
the interpretation of a command. When you use a filter called
|
|
|
|
|
"myfilter" do it like this: >

*'matchpairs'* *'mps'*

|
|
|
'matchpairs' 'mps' string (default "(:),{:},[:]")
|

|
|
|
local to buffer
|
|
|
|
|
Characters that form pairs. The |%| command jumps from one to the

|
other.
|
|
|
|
|
Only character pairs are allowed that are different, thus you cannot
|
|
|
|
|
jump between two double quotes.
|
|
|
|
|
The characters must be separated by a colon.
|
|

Tenths of a second to show the matching paren, when 'showmatch' is

*'maxfuncdepth'* *'mfd'*

|
|
|
|
'maxfuncdepth' 'mfd' number (default 100)
|
|
|
|
|
global
|
|
|
|
|
Maximum depth of function calls for user functions. This normally
|
|
|
|
|
catches endless recursion. When using a recursive function with
|
|
|
|
|
more depth, set 'maxfuncdepth' to a bigger number. But this will use
|
|
|
|
|
more memory, there is the danger of failing when memory is exhausted.
|
2017-04-30 13:18:04 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Increasing this limit above 200 also changes the maximum for Ex

|
command recursion, see |E169|.

'maxmapdepth' 'mmd' number (default 1000)

|
|
|
|
global
|
|
|
|
|
Maximum number of times a mapping is done without resulting in a
|
|
|
|
|
character to be used. This normally catches endless mappings, like
|
|
|
|
|
":map x y" with ":map y x". It still does not catch ":map g wg",
|
|
|
|
|
because the 'w' is used before the next mapping is done. See also

*'maxmempattern'* *'mmp'*

|
|
|
'maxmempattern' 'mmp' number (default 1000)
|
|
|
|
|
global
|
|
|
|
|
Maximum amount of memory (in Kbyte) to use for pattern matching.
|
|
|
|
|
The maximum value is about 2000000. Use this to work without a limit.
|
|
|
|
|
*E363*
|
|
|
|
|
When Vim runs into the limit it gives an error message and mostly
|
|
|
|
|
behaves like CTRL-C was typed.
|
|
|
|
|
Running into the limit often means that the pattern is very
|
|
|
|
|
inefficient or too complex. This may already happen with the pattern
|
|
|
|
|
"\(.\)*" on a very long line. ".*" works much better.
|
2018-10-29 01:40:20 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Might also happen on redraw, when syntax rules try to match a complex
|
|
|
|
|
text structure.
|
|
|
|
|
Vim may run out of memory before hitting the 'maxmempattern' limit, in
|
|
|
|
|
which case you get an "Out of memory" error instead.

Maximum number of items to use in a menu. Used for menus that are

|
|
|
|
generated from a list of items, e.g., the Buffers menu. Changing this
|
|

|
|
global
|
|
|
|
|
Parameters for |:mkspell|. This tunes when to start compressing the
|
|
|
|
|
word tree. Compression can be slow when there are many words, but
|
|
|
|
|
it's needed to avoid running out of memory. The amount of memory used
|
|
|
|
|
per word depends very much on how similar the words are, that's why
|
|
|
|
|
this tuning is complicated.

For most languages the uncompressed word tree fits in memory. {start}
|
|
|
|
|
gives the amount of memory in Kbyte that can be used before any
|
|
|
|
|
compression is done. It should be a bit smaller than the amount of
|
|
|
|
|
memory that is available to Vim.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When going over the {start} limit the {inc} number specifies the
|
|
|
|
|
amount of memory in Kbyte that can be allocated before another
|
|
|
|
|
compression is done. A low number means compression is done after
|
|
|
|
|
less words are added, which is slow. A high number means more memory
|
|
|
|
|
will be allocated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After doing compression, {added} times 1024 words can be added before
|
|
|
|
|
the {inc} limit is ignored and compression is done when any extra
|
|
|
|
|
amount of memory is needed. A low number means there is a smaller
|
|
|
|
|
chance of hitting the {inc} limit, less memory is used but it's
|
|
|
|
|
slower.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The languages for which these numbers are important are Italian and
|
|
|
|
|
Hungarian. The default works for when you have about 512 Mbyte. If
|
|
|
|
|
you have 1 Gbyte you could use: >
|
|
|
|
|
:set mkspellmem=900000,3000,800
|
|
|
|
|
< If you have less than 512 Mbyte |:mkspell| may fail for some
|
|
|
|
|
languages, no matter what you set 'mkspellmem' to.

When on, the buffer is considered to be modified. This option is set
|
|
|
|
|
when:
|
|
|
|
|
1. A change was made to the text since it was last written. Using the
|
|
|
|
|
|undo| command to go back to the original text will reset the
|
|
|
|
|
option. But undoing changes that were made before writing the
|
|
|
|
|
buffer will set the option again, since the text is different from
|
|
|
|
|
when it was written.
|
|
|
|
|
2. 'fileformat' or 'fileencoding' is different from its original
|
|
|
|
|
value. The original value is set when the buffer is read or
|
|
|
|
|
written. A ":set nomodified" command also resets the original
|
|
|
|
|
values to the current values and the 'modified' option will be
|
|
|
|
|
reset.
|
2016-06-22 19:05:27 -07:00

Similarly for 'eol' and 'bomb'.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|

This option is not set when a change is made to the buffer as the

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

an explanation.
|

|
|
|
|
will be ignored.
|
2018-10-28 22:21:37 -07:00

|
|
|
and Visual mode: >
|
|
|
|

:set mouse=nv
|
|

Left-click anywhere in a text buffer to place the cursor there. This
|
|
|
|
|
works with operators too, e.g. type |d| then left-click to delete text
|
|
|
|
|
from the current cursor position to the position where you clicked.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|

|
Drag the |status-line| or vertical separator of a window to resize it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If enabled for "v" (Visual mode) then double-click selects word-wise,
|
|
|
|
|
triple-click makes it line-wise, and quadruple-click makes it
|
|
|
|
|
rectangular block-wise.

Sets the model to use for the mouse. The name mostly specifies what
|
|
|
|
|
the right mouse button is used for:
|
|
|
|
|
extend Right mouse button extends a selection. This works
|
|
|
|
|
like in an xterm.
|
|
|
|
|
popup Right mouse button pops up a menu. The shifted left
|
|
|
|
|
mouse button extends a selection. This works like
|
|
|
|
|
with Microsoft Windows.
|
|
|
|
|
popup_setpos Like "popup", but the cursor will be moved to the
|
|
|
|
|
position where the mouse was clicked, and thus the
|
|
|
|
|
selected operation will act upon the clicked object.
|
|
|
|
|
If clicking inside a selection, that selection will
|
|
|
|
|
be acted upon, i.e. no cursor move. This implies of
|
|
|
|
|
course, that right clicking outside a selection will
|
|
|
|
|
end Visual mode.

In the "popup" model the right mouse button produces a pop-up menu.

|
2018-09-21 05:59:02 -07:00

This option controls the number of lines / columns to scroll by when
|
2023-08-25 17:35:05 -07:00
|
|
|
|
scrolling with a mouse wheel (|scroll-mouse-wheel|). The option is

a comma-separated list. Each part consists of a direction and a count
|
|

2022-07-06 04:34:24 -07:00
|
|
|
|
direction:count,direction:count
|
|
|
|
|
Direction is one of either "hor" or "ver". "hor" controls horizontal
|
|
|
|
|
scrolling and "ver" controls vertical scrolling. Count sets the amount
|
|
|
|
|
to scroll by for the given direction, it should be a non negative
|
|
|
|
|
integer. Each direction should be set at most once. If a direction
|
|
|
|
|
is omitted, a default value is used (6 for horizontal scrolling and 3
|
|
|
|
|
for vertical scrolling). You can disable mouse scrolling by using
|
|
|
|
|
a count of 0.

This defines what bases Vim will consider for numbers when using the
|
|
|
|
|
CTRL-A and CTRL-X commands for adding to and subtracting from a number
|
|
|
|
|
respectively; see |CTRL-A| for more info on these commands.
|
|
|
|
|
alpha If included, single alphabetical characters will be
|
|
|
|
|
incremented or decremented. This is useful for a list with a

|
letter index a), b), etc. *octal-nrformats*
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
octal If included, numbers that start with a zero will be considered
|
|
|
|
|
to be octal. Example: Using CTRL-A on "007" results in "010".
|
|
|
|
|
hex If included, numbers starting with "0x" or "0X" will be
|
|
|
|
|
considered to be hexadecimal. Example: Using CTRL-X on
|
|
|
|
|
"0x100" results in "0x0ff".
|
2016-01-15 01:22:14 -07:00
|
|
|
|
bin If included, numbers starting with "0b" or "0B" will be
|
|
|
|
|
considered to be binary. Example: Using CTRL-X on
|
|
|
|
|
"0b1000" subtracts one, resulting in "0b0111".
|
2021-04-28 06:06:05 -07:00
|
|
|
|
unsigned If included, numbers are recognized as unsigned. Thus a
|
|
|
|
|
leading dash or negative sign won't be considered as part of
|
|
|
|
|
the number. Examples:
|
|
|
|
|
Using CTRL-X on "2020" in "9-2020" results in "9-2019"
|
|
|
|
|
(without "unsigned" it would become "9-2021").
|
|
|
|
|
Using CTRL-A on "2020" in "9-2020" results in "9-2021"
|
|
|
|
|
(without "unsigned" it would become "9-2019").
|
2021-04-28 05:39:30 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Using CTRL-X on "0" or CTRL-A on "18446744073709551615"
|
|
|
|
|
(2^64 - 1) has no effect, overflow is prevented.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Numbers which simply begin with a digit in the range 1-9 are always
|
|
|
|
|
considered decimal. This also happens for numbers that are not
|
|
|
|
|
recognized as octal or hex.

|
|
|
|
|
Print the line number in front of each line. When the 'n' option is
|
|
|
|
|
excluded from 'cpoptions' a wrapped line will not use the column of
|
2015-02-01 14:53:41 -07:00
|
|
|
|
line numbers.
|
2018-10-13 10:33:08 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Use the 'numberwidth' option to adjust the room for the line number.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
When a long, wrapped line doesn't start with the first character, '-'
|
|
|
|
|
characters are put before the number.

local to window

|
|
|
Minimal number of columns to use for the line number. Only relevant
|
|
|
|
|
when the 'number' or 'relativenumber' option is set or printing lines
|
|
|
|
|
with a line number. Since one space is always between the number and
|
|
|
|
|
the text, there is one less character for the number itself.
|
|
|
|
|
The value is the minimum width. A bigger width is used when needed to
|
|
|
|
|
fit the highest line number in the buffer respectively the number of
|
|
|
|
|
rows in the window, depending on whether 'number' or 'relativenumber'
|
|
|
|
|
is set. Thus with the Vim default of 4 there is room for a line number
|
|
|
|
|
up to 999. When the buffer has 1000 lines five columns will be used.
|
2019-07-01 19:54:50 -07:00
|

The minimum value is 1, the maximum value is 20.

When non-empty the oldest version of a file is kept. This can be used
|
|
|
|
|
to keep the original version of a file if you are changing files in a
|
|
|
|
|
source distribution. Only the first time that a file is written a
|
|
|
|
|
copy of the original file will be kept. The name of the copy is the
|
|
|
|
|
name of the original file with the string in the 'patchmode' option
|
|
|
|
|
appended. This option should start with a dot. Use a string like
|
2018-10-28 05:59:07 -07:00
|
|
|
|
".orig" or ".org". 'backupdir' must not be empty for this to work
|
|
|
|
|
(Detail: The backup file is renamed to the patchmode file after the
|
|
|
|
|
new file has been successfully written, that's why it must be possible
|
|
|
|
|
to write a backup file). If there was no file to be backed up, an
|
|
|
|
|
empty file is created.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
When the 'backupskip' pattern matches, a patchmode file is not made.
|
|
|
|
|
Using 'patchmode' for compressed files appends the extension at the
|
|
|
|
|
end (e.g., "file.gz.orig"), thus the resulting name isn't always
|
|
|
|
|
recognized as a compressed file.

|gf|, [f, ]f, ^Wf, |:find|, |:sfind|, |:tabfind| and other commands,
|
|
|
|
|
provided that the file being searched for has a relative path (not
|
|
|
|
|
starting with "/", "./" or "../"). The directories in the 'path'
|
|
|
|
|
option may be relative or absolute.
|
|
|

:set path=.,/usr/local/include,/usr/include
|
2023-10-09 17:22:32 -07:00
|

|
< - Spaces can also be used to separate directory names. To have a
|
|
|
|
|
space in a directory name, precede it with an extra backslash, and
|
|
|
|
|
escape the space: >
|
|
|

:set path=.,/dir/with\\\ space
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00

backslash: >
|

|
|
:set path=.,/dir/with\\,comma
|

< - To search relative to the directory of the current file, use: >
|
|
|
|
|
:set path=.
|

< - A directory name may end in a ':' or '/'.
|
|
|
|

- Environment variables are expanded |:set_env|.
|

- When using |netrw.vim| URLs can be used. For example, adding
|
2022-10-14 08:01:13 -07:00
|
|
|
|
"https://www.vim.org" will make ":find index.html" work.

|
|
- Search upwards and downwards in a directory tree using "*", "**" and
|
|
|
|
|
";". See |file-searching| for info and syntax.
|

|
- Careful with '\' characters, type two to get one in the option: >
|
|
|
|
|
:set path=.,c:\\include
|
|
|
|
|
< Or just use '/' instead: >
|
|
|
|
|
:set path=.,c:/include
|
|
|
|
|
< Don't forget "." or files won't even be found in the same directory as
|

|
|
the file!
|
|
|
|
|
The maximum length is limited. How much depends on the system, mostly
|
|
|
|
|
it is something like 256 or 1024 characters.
|
|
|

You can check if all the include files are found, using the value of

The use of |:set+=| and |:set-=| is preferred when adding or removing
|
|
|
|
|
directories from the list. This avoids problems when a future version
|
|
|
|
|
uses another default. To remove the current directory use: >
|
|
|
|
|
:set path-=
|
|
|
|
|
< To add the current directory use: >
|
|
|
|
|
:set path+=
|
|
|
|
|
< To use an environment variable, you probably need to replace the
|
|
|
|
|
separator. Here is an example to append $INCL, in which directory
|
|
|
|
|
names are separated with a semi-colon: >

:let &path = &path .. "," .. substitute($INCL, ';', ',', 'g')
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
< Replace the ';' with a ':' or whatever separator is used. Note that
|
|
|
|
|
this doesn't work when $INCL contains a comma or white space.

When changing the indent of the current line, preserve as much of the
|
|
|
|
|
indent structure as possible. Normally the indent is replaced by a
|
|
|
|
|
series of tabs followed by spaces as required (unless |'expandtab'| is
|
|
|
|
|
enabled, in which case only spaces are used). Enabling this option
|
|
|
|
|
means the indent will preserve as many existing characters as possible
|
|
|
|
|
for indenting, and only add additional tabs or spaces as required.
|
|
|
|
|
'expandtab' does not apply to the preserved white space, a Tab remains
|
|
|
|
|
a Tab.
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: When using ">>" multiple times the resulting indent is a mix of
|
|
|
|
|
tabs and spaces. You might not like this.
|
|
|
|
|
Also see 'copyindent'.
|
|
|
|

Use |:retab| to clean up white space.

|
When using the TUI or another single-grid UI, "compositor"

0 automatic selection
|

1 old engine

|
2 NFA engine
|
|

Note that when using the NFA engine and the pattern contains something
|
|
|
|
|
that is not supported the pattern will not match. This is only useful
|
|
|
|
|
for debugging the regexp engine.
|
2015-03-28 14:28:37 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Using automatic selection enables Vim to switch the engine, if the
|
|
|
|
|
default engine becomes too costly. E.g., when the NFA engine uses too
|
|
|
|
|
many states. This should prevent Vim from hanging on a combination of
|
|
|
|
|
a complex pattern with long text.

having to calculate it yourself. Especially useful in combination with

If 'rulerformat' is set, it will determine the contents of the ruler.

Each window has its own ruler. If a window has a status line, the
|
2022-06-13 02:40:51 -07:00

ruler is shown there. If a window doesn't have a status line and
|
2022-07-31 01:06:32 -07:00
|
|
|
|
'cmdheight' is zero, the ruler is not shown. Otherwise it is shown in
|
2022-06-13 02:40:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
the last line of the screen. If the statusline is given by
|

'statusline' (i.e. not empty), this option takes precedence over

'ruler' and 'rulerformat'.

For an empty line "0-1" is shown.

Given by `stdpath("config")`. |$XDG_CONFIG_HOME|
|
2023-07-25 05:07:13 -07:00

2. Directories which must contain configuration files according to
|
2019-04-15 14:44:10 -07:00
|
|
|
|
|xdg| ($XDG_CONFIG_DIRS, defaults to /etc/xdg). This also contains
|
|
|
|
|
preferences from system administrator.
|
|
|
|
|
3. Data home directory, for plugins installed by user.
|
2021-04-10 10:42:59 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Given by `stdpath("data")/site`. |$XDG_DATA_HOME|
|
2019-04-15 14:44:10 -07:00
|
|
|
|
4. nvim/site subdirectories for each directory in $XDG_DATA_DIRS.
|
|
|
|
|
This is for plugins which were installed by system administrator,
|
|
|
|
|
but are not part of the Nvim distribution. XDG_DATA_DIRS defaults
|
|
|
|
|
to /usr/local/share/:/usr/share/, so system administrators are
|
2015-10-17 07:25:53 -07:00
|
|
|
|
expected to install site plugins to /usr/share/nvim/site.
|
2022-10-09 05:21:52 -07:00
|
|
|
|
5. Session state directory, for state data such as swap, backupdir,
|
|
|
|
|
viewdir, undodir, etc.
|
2021-09-06 10:35:34 -07:00

|
Note that, unlike 'path', no wildcards like "**" are allowed. Normal
|
|
|
|
|
wildcards are allowed, but can significantly slow down searching for
|
|
|
|
|
runtime files. For speed, use as few items as possible and avoid
|
|
|
|
|
wildcards.
|
|
|
|
|
See |:runtime|.
|
|
|
|
|
Example: >
|
|
|
|
|
:set runtimepath=~/vimruntime,/mygroup/vim,$VIMRUNTIME
|
|
|
|
|
< This will use the directory "~/vimruntime" first (containing your
|
2022-10-09 05:21:52 -07:00
|
|
|
|
personal Nvim runtime files), then "/mygroup/vim", and finally
|
|
|
|
|
"$VIMRUNTIME" (the default runtime files).
|
|
|
|
|
You can put a directory before $VIMRUNTIME to find files which replace
|
|
|
|
|
distributed runtime files. You can put a directory after $VIMRUNTIME
|
|
|
|
|
to find files which add to distributed runtime files.
|

See also |scroll-binding|. When this option is set, scrolling the
|
|
|
|
|
current window also scrolls other scrollbind windows (windows that
|
|
|
|
|
also have this option set). This option is useful for viewing the
|

|
differences between two versions of a file, see 'diff'.

See |'scrollopt'| for options that determine how this option should be

|
|
interpreted.
|
|
|
|
|
This option is mostly reset when splitting a window to edit another
|
|
|
|
|
file. This means that ":split | edit file" results in two windows
|
|
|
|
|
with scroll-binding, but ":split file" does not.

'scrolljump' 'sj' number (default 1)
|
|

|
|
global
|
|
|
|
|
Minimal number of lines to scroll when the cursor gets off the
|
|
|
|
|
screen (e.g., with "j"). Not used for scroll commands (e.g., CTRL-E,
|
|
|
|
|
CTRL-D). Useful if your terminal scrolls very slowly.
|
|
|
|
|
When set to a negative number from -1 to -100 this is used as the
|
|
|
|
|
percentage of the window height. Thus -50 scrolls half the window
|
|
|
|
|
height.

|
|
|
global or local to window |global-local|
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Minimal number of screen lines to keep above and below the cursor.
|
|
|
|
|
This will make some context visible around where you are working. If
|
|
|
|
|
you set it to a very large value (999) the cursor line will always be
|
|
|
|
|
in the middle of the window (except at the start or end of the file or
|
|
|
|
|
when long lines wrap).

*'scrollopt'* *'sbo'*

|
|

|
'scrollopt' 'sbo' string (default "ver,jump")
|
|
|
|
|
global
|
|
|
|
|
This is a comma-separated list of words that specifies how
|
|
|
|
|
'scrollbind' windows should behave. 'sbo' stands for ScrollBind
|
|
|
|
|
Options.
|
|
|
|
|
The following words are available:
|
|
|
|
|
ver Bind vertical scrolling for 'scrollbind' windows
|
|
|
|
|
hor Bind horizontal scrolling for 'scrollbind' windows
|
|
|
|
|
jump Applies to the offset between two windows for vertical
|
|
|
|
|
scrolling. This offset is the difference in the first
|
|
|
|
|
displayed line of the bound windows. When moving
|
|
|
|
|
around in a window, another 'scrollbind' window may
|
|
|
|
|
reach a position before the start or after the end of
|
|
|
|
|
the buffer. The offset is not changed though, when
|
|
|
|
|
moving back the 'scrollbind' window will try to scroll
|
|
|
|
|
to the desired position when possible.
|
|
|
|
|
When now making that window the current one, two
|
|
|
|
|
things can be done with the relative offset:
|
|
|
|
|
1. When "jump" is not included, the relative offset is
|
|
|
|
|
adjusted for the scroll position in the new current
|
|
|
|
|
window. When going back to the other window, the
|
|
|
|
|
new relative offset will be used.
|
|
|
|
|
2. When "jump" is included, the other windows are
|
|
|
|
|
scrolled to keep the same relative offset. When
|
|
|
|
|
going back to the other window, it still uses the
|
|
|
|
|
same relative offset.
|
|
|
|
|
Also see |scroll-binding|.
|
|
|
|
|
When 'diff' mode is active there always is vertical scroll binding,
|
|
|
|
|

"past line" means that the cursor is allowed to be positioned one
|
|
|
|
|
character past the line.
|
|
|
|
|
"inclusive" means that the last character of the selection is included
|
|
|
|
|
in an operation. For example, when "x" is used to delete the
|
|
|
|
|
selection.
|

the end of line the line break still isn't included.

|
|
|
|
|
"def", '"abc def"' runs shell named "abc def" with no additional

|
|
|
'shellcmdflag'”).
|
2023-07-25 05:07:13 -07:00
|

|
|
2. Quotes in option may be present in any position and any number:
|
|
|
|
|
'"abc"', '"a"bc', 'a"b"c', 'ab"c"' and '"a"b"c"' are all equivalent

to just "abc".

2023-07-25 05:07:13 -07:00
|
|
|
|
3. Inside quotes backslash preceding backslash means one backslash.
|
|
|
|
|
Backslash preceding quote means one quote. Backslash preceding
|
|
|
|
|
anything else means backslash and next character literally:
|
|
|
|
|
'"a\\b"' is the same as "a\b", '"a\\"b"' runs shell named literally
|
2016-01-10 12:08:43 -07:00
|
|
|
|
'a"b', '"a\b"' is the same as "a\b" again.
|
2023-07-25 05:07:13 -07:00
|
|
|
|
4. Outside of quotes backslash always means itself, it cannot be used
|
2016-01-10 12:08:43 -07:00
|
|
|
|
to escape quote: 'a\"b"' is the same as "a\b".
|
2023-07-25 05:07:13 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Note that such processing is done after |:set| did its own round of
|
2016-01-10 12:08:43 -07:00
|
|
|
|
unescaping, so to keep yourself sane use |:let-&| like shown above.

`bash.exe -c ls` or `cmd.exe /s /c "dir"`. For MS-Windows, the

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

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

The name of the temporary file can be represented by "%s" if necessary

|
(the file name is appended automatically if no %s appears in the value

|
|
|
of this option).
|
2023-03-19 14:25:12 -07:00
|

|
For MS-Windows the default is "2>&1| tee". The stdout and stderr are
|
|
|
|
|
saved in a file and echoed to the screen.
|
2021-04-29 18:57:46 -07:00
|
|
|
|
For Unix the default is "| tee". The stdout of the compiler is saved
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
in a file and echoed to the screen. If the 'shell' option is "csh" or
|
|
|
|
|
"tcsh" after initializations, the default becomes "|& tee". If the
|
2021-04-23 17:52:29 -07:00
|
|
|
|
'shell' option is "sh", "ksh", "mksh", "pdksh", "zsh", "zsh-beta",
|
2021-05-08 05:18:03 -07:00
|
|
|
|
"bash", "fish", "ash" or "dash" the default becomes "2>&1| tee". This
|
|
|
|
|
means that stderr is also included. Before using the 'shell' option a
|
|
|
|
|
path is removed, thus "/bin/sh" uses "sh".
|
2015-10-17 07:25:53 -07:00
|
|
|
|
The initialization of this option is done after reading the vimrc
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
and the other initializations, so that when the 'shell' option is set
|
|
|
|
|
there, the 'shellpipe' option changes automatically, unless it was
|
|
|
|
|
explicitly set before.
|
|
|
|
|
When 'shellpipe' is set to an empty string, no redirection of the
|
|
|
|
|
":make" output will be done. This is useful if you use a 'makeprg'
|
|
|
|
|
that writes to 'makeef' by itself. If you want no piping, but do
|
|
|
|
|
want to include the 'makeef', set 'shellpipe' to a single space.
|
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to precede the space with a backslash: ":set sp=\ ".
|
|
|
|
|
In the future pipes may be used for filtering and this option will
|
|
|
|
|
become obsolete (at least for Unix).

|
|
|

|
probably not useful to set both options.

|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00

2021-04-23 17:52:29 -07:00

The default is ">". For Unix, if the 'shell' option is "csh" or

"tcsh" during initializations, the default becomes ">&". If the
|
2021-04-24 13:52:46 -07:00

|
|
|
'shell' option is "sh", "ksh", "mksh", "pdksh", "zsh", "zsh-beta",
|
|
|
|
|
"bash" or "fish", the default becomes ">%s 2>&1". This means that
|
|
|
|
|
stderr is also included. For Win32, the Unix checks are done and
|
|
|
|
|
additionally "cmd" is checked for, which makes the default ">%s 2>&1".

Also, the same names with ".exe" appended are checked for.

When set, a forward slash is used when expanding file names. This is
|
2021-04-25 08:56:17 -07:00
|
|
|
|
useful when a Unix-like shell is used instead of cmd.exe. Backward
|
|
|
|
|
slashes can still be typed, but they are changed to forward slashes by
|
|
|
|
|
Vim.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Note that setting or resetting this option has no effect for some
|
|
|
|
|
existing file names, thus this option needs to be set before opening
|
|
|
|
|
any file for best results. This might change in the future.
|
|

|
'shellslash' only works when a backslash can be used as a path

separator. To test if this is so use: >

if exists('+shellslash')

When on, use temp files for shell commands. When off use a pipe.

When using a pipe is not possible temp files are used anyway.
|
2017-03-23 18:54:50 -07:00

|
The advantage of using a pipe is that nobody can read the temp file
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
and the 'shell' command does not need to support redirection.

The advantage of using a temp file is that the file type and encoding

can be detected.

|

value greater than 0 while having |'sidescroll'| also at a non-zero
|
|
|

|
value makes some context visible in the line you are scrolling in
|
|
|
|
|
horizontally (except at beginning of the line). Setting this option
|
|
|
|
|
to a large value (like 999) has the effect of keeping the cursor

horizontally centered in the window, as long as one does not come too

With this change, having more than one sign on a line, and with the

We have GitGutter installed, so it tells us about modified lines that
are not commmited. So let's change line 5152:
5147 }

5149 return sign->typenr;
5150 }
5151 }
~ 5152 return 0;

5151 }

Previously, Vim/Nvim would have picked only one of the signs,

Suppose we have highlights on a group of lines and we delete them:

--+ 7 use std::borrow::Cow;
--+ 8 use std::io::{Cursor};
9 use proc_macro2::TokenStream;
10 use syn::export::ToTokens;
--+ 11 use std::io::Write;
>> 12 use std::ops::Deref;
Without this change, these signs will momentarily accumulate in
the sign column until the plugins wake up to refresh them.
+ --+ --+ --+ >> 6
Discussion: It may be better to extend the API a bit and allow this
to happen for only certain types of signs. For example, VIM marks
and vim-gitgutter removal signs may want to be presreved, unlike
line additions and linter highlights.
- 'signcolumn': support 'auto:NUM' and 'yes:NUM' settings
- sort signs according to id, from lowest to highest. If you have
git-gutter, vim-signature, and ALE, it would appear in this order:
git-gutter - vim-signature - ALE.
- recalculate size before screen update
- If no space for all signs, prefer the higher ids (while keeping the
rendering order from low to high).
- Prevent duplicate signs. Duplicate signs were invisible to the user,
before using our extended non-standard signcolumn settings.
- multi signcols: fix bug related to wrapped lines.
In wrapped lines, the wrapped parts of a line did not include the extra
columns if they existed. The result was a misdrawing of the wrapped
parts. Fix the issue by:
1. initializing the signcol counter to 0 when we are on a wrap boundary
2. allowing for the draw of spaces in that case.

Now we add a mark over line 5152 using 'ma' in normal mode:
5147 }
5148
5149 return sign->typenr;
5150 }
5151 }
a ~ 5152 return 0;
5153 }
5154
Previously, Vim/Nvim would have picked only one of the signs,
because there was no support for having multiple signs in a line.
- Remove signs from deleted lines.
Suppose we have highlights on a group of lines and we delete them:
+ 6 use std::ops::Deref;
--+ 7 use std::borrow::Cow;
--+ 8 use std::io::{Cursor};
9 use proc_macro2::TokenStream;
10 use syn::export::ToTokens;
--+ 11 use std::io::Write;
>> 12 use std::ops::Deref;
Without this change, these signs will momentarily accumulate in
the sign column until the plugins wake up to refresh them.
+ --+ --+ --+ >> 6
Discussion: It may be better to extend the API a bit and allow this
to happen for only certain types of signs. For example, VIM marks
and vim-gitgutter removal signs may want to be presreved, unlike
line additions and linter highlights.
- 'signcolumn': support 'auto:NUM' and 'yes:NUM' settings
- sort signs according to id, from lowest to highest. If you have
git-gutter, vim-signature, and ALE, it would appear in this order:
git-gutter - vim-signature - ALE.
- recalculate size before screen update
- If no space for all signs, prefer the higher ids (while keeping the
rendering order from low to high).
- Prevent duplicate signs. Duplicate signs were invisible to the user,
before using our extended non-standard signcolumn settings.
- multi signcols: fix bug related to wrapped lines.
In wrapped lines, the wrapped parts of a line did not include the extra
columns if they existed. The result was a misdrawing of the wrapped
parts. Fix the issue by:
1. initializing the signcol counter to 0 when we are on a wrap boundary
2. allowing for the draw of spaces in that case.

Do smart autoindenting when starting a new line. Works for C-like
|
|
|
|
|
programs, but can also be used for other languages. 'cindent' does
|
|
|
|
|
something like this, works better in most cases, but is more strict,
|
|
|
|
|
see |C-indenting|. When 'cindent' is on or 'indentexpr' is set,
|
|
|
|
|
setting 'si' has no effect. 'indentexpr' is a more advanced
|
|
|
|

alternative.
|
|
|
|
|
Normally 'autoindent' should also be on when using 'smartindent'.
|
|
|
|
|
An indent is automatically inserted:

2022-12-28 05:39:39 -07:00

- After a line ending in "{".

2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00

When typing '#' as the first character in a new line, the indent for

|
|
that line is removed, the '#' is put in the first column. The indent
|
|
|
|
|
is restored for the next line. If you don't want this, use this
|
|
|
|
|
mapping: ":inoremap # X^H#", where ^H is entered with CTRL-V CTRL-H.
|
|

When using the ">>" command, lines starting with '#' are not shifted

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

<BS> will delete a 'shiftwidth' worth of space at the start of the

When off, a <Tab> always inserts blanks according to 'tabstop' or

|
|
|
|
<Tab>s are being inserted, while in fact a mix of spaces and <Tab>s is
|
|
|
|
|
used. This is useful to keep the 'ts' setting at its standard value
|
|
|
|
|
of 8, while being able to edit like it is set to 'sts'. However,
|
|

commands like "x" still work on the actual characters.

When 'sts' is zero, this feature is off.

ignoring the region.

The word list name must consist of alphanumeric characters, a dash or
|
|
|
|

an underscore. It should not include a comma or dot. Using a dash is
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
recommended to separate the two letter language name from a
|
|
|
|
|
specification. Thus "en-rare" is used for rare English words.
|
|
|
|
|
A region name must come last and have the form "_xx", where "xx" is
|
|
|
|
|
the two-letter, lower case region name. You can use more than one
|
|
|
|
|
region by listing them: "en_us,en_ca" supports both US and Canadian

The word in the second column must be correct,

otherwise it will not be used. Add the word to an

expr:{expr} Evaluate expression {expr}. Use a function to avoid

trouble with spaces. |v:val| holds the badly spelled

|
|
|
word. The expression must evaluate to a List of
|
|

Lists, each with a suggestion and a score.

Example:
|
2017-11-05 21:05:54 -07:00
|
|
|
|
[['the', 33], ['that', 44]] ~
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Set 'verbose' and use |z=| to see the scores that the
|
|
|
|
|
internal methods use. A lower score is better.
|
|
|
|
|
This may invoke |spellsuggest()| if you temporarily
|
|
|
|
|
set 'spellsuggest' to exclude the "expr:" part.
|
|
|
|
|
Errors are silently ignored, unless you set the

|
|
|
|
'verbose' option to a non-zero value.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Only one of "best", "double" or "fast" may be used. The others may
|
|

appear several times in any order. Example: >

When non-empty, this option determines the content of the area to the

|
side of a window, normally containing the fold, sign and number columns.
|
|
|
|
|
The format of this option is like that of 'statusline'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some of the items from the 'statusline' format are different for
|

'statuscolumn':
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
%l line number of currently drawn line

%r relative line number of currently drawn line

|
|
|
2023-01-12 02:40:53 -07:00
|
|
|
|
NOTE: To draw the sign and fold columns, their items must be included in
|
|
|
|
|
'statuscolumn'. Even when they are not included, the status column width
|
|
|
|
|
will adapt to the 'signcolumn' and 'foldcolumn' width.

|
|
|
|
The |v:lnum| variable holds the line number to be drawn.
|
|
|
|
|
The |v:relnum| variable holds the relative line number to be drawn.
|
|
|
|
|
The |v:virtnum| variable is negative when drawing virtual lines, zero
|
|
|
|
|
when drawing the actual buffer line, and positive when
|
|
|
|
|
drawing the wrapped part of a buffer line.

When non-empty, this option determines the content of the status line.

|
|
|
|
Also see |status-line|.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The option consists of printf style '%' items interspersed with
|
|
|
|
|
normal text. Each status line item is of the form:
|
|
|
|
|
%-0{minwid}.{maxwid}{item}
|
2016-06-04 18:45:09 -07:00
|
|
|
|
All fields except the {item} are optional. A single percent sign can
|
2020-10-26 15:48:39 -07:00
|
|
|
|
be given as "%%".
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When the option starts with "%!" then it is used as an expression,
|
|
|
|
|
evaluated and the result is used as the option value. Example: >
|
|
|
|
|
:set statusline=%!MyStatusLine()
|
2020-06-25 18:07:49 -07:00
|
|
|
|
< The *g:statusline_winid* variable will be set to the |window-ID| of the
|
|
|
|
|
window that the status line belongs to.
|
|
|
|
|
The result can contain %{} items that will be evaluated too.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Note that the "%!" expression is evaluated in the context of the
|
|
|
|
|
current window and buffer, while %{} items are evaluated in the
|
|
|
|
|
context of the window that the statusline belongs to.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When there is error while evaluating the option then it will be made
|
|
|
|
|
empty to avoid further errors. Otherwise screen updating would loop.

label runs specified function: in the example when clicking once
|
|
|
|
|
using left mouse button on "foo.c" "SwitchBuffer(10, 1, 'l',
|
|
|
|
|
' ')" expression will be run. Function receives the
|
2015-12-20 08:38:07 -07:00
|
|
|
|
following arguments in order:
|
|
|
|

1. minwid field value or zero if no N was specified
|
|
|
|
|
2. number of mouse clicks to detect multiple clicks
|
2023-07-25 05:07:13 -07:00
|
|
|
|
3. mouse button used: "l", "r" or "m" for left, right or middle
|
|
|
|
|
button respectively; one should not rely on third argument
|
|
|
|
|
being only "l", "r" or "m": any other non-empty string value
|
|
|
|
|
that contains only ASCII lower case letters may be expected
|
2015-12-20 08:38:07 -07:00

4. modifiers pressed: string which contains "s" if shift
|
|

modifier was pressed, "c" for control, "a" for alt and "m"
|
|
|
|
|
for meta; currently if modifier is not pressed string
|
|
|
|
|
contains space instead, but one should not rely on presence
|
|
|
|
|
of spaces or specific order of modifiers: use |stridx()| to
|
|
|
|
|
test whether some modifier is present; string is guaranteed
|
|
|
|
|
to contain only ASCII letters and spaces, one letter per
|
|
|
|
|
modifier; "?" modifier may also be present, but its presence
|
|
|
|
|
is a bug that denotes that new mouse button recognition was
|
|
|
|
|
added without modifying code that reacts on mouse clicks on
|
2015-12-20 08:38:07 -07:00

this label.

# - Set highlight group. The name must follow and then a # again.
|
|
|
|
|
Thus use %#HLname# for highlight group HLname. The same
|
|
|
|
|
highlighting is used, also for the statusline of non-current
|
|
|
|
|
windows.
|
|
|
|
|
* - Set highlight group to User{N}, where {N} is taken from the
|
|

minwid field, e.g. %1*. Restore normal highlight with %* or %0*.
|
2023-02-03 01:18:18 -07:00
|
|
|
|
The difference between User{N} and StatusLine will be applied to
|
|

|
|
StatusLineNC for the statusline of non-current windows.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00

The number N must be between 1 and 9. See |hl-User1..9|

|
|
|
|
|
|
When displaying a flag, Vim removes the leading comma, if any, when
|
|
|
|
|
that flag comes right after plaintext. This will make a nice display
|
|
|
|
|
when flags are used like in the examples below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When all items in a group becomes an empty string (i.e. flags that are
|
|
|
|
|
not set) and a minwid is not set for the group, the whole group will
|
|
|
|
|
become empty. This will make a group like the following disappear
|
|
|
|
|
completely from the statusline when none of the flags are set. >
|
|
|
|
|

If the statusline is not updated when you want it (e.g., after setting

Files with these suffixes get a lower priority when multiple files
|
|
|
|
|
match a wildcard. See |suffixes|. Commas can be used to separate the
|
|
|
|
|
suffixes. Spaces after the comma are ignored. A dot is also seen as
|
|
|
|
|
the start of a suffix. To avoid a dot or comma being recognized as a
|
|
|
|
|
separator, precede it with a backslash (see |option-backslash| about
|
|
|
|
|
including spaces and backslashes).
|
|
|
|
|
See 'wildignore' for completely ignoring files.
|
|
|
|
|
The use of |:set+=| and |:set-=| is preferred when adding or removing

|
suffixes from the list. This avoids problems when a future version
|

|
|
uses another default.

Use a swapfile for the buffer. This option can be reset when a
|
|
|
|
|
swapfile is not wanted for a specific buffer. For example, with
|
|
|
|
|
confidential information that even root must not be able to access.
|
|
|
|
|
Careful: All text will be in memory:
|
|
|
|
|
- Don't use this for big files.
|
|
|
|
|
- Recovery will be impossible!
|
|
|
|
|
A swapfile will only be present when |'updatecount'| is non-zero and
|
|
|
|
|
'swapfile' is set.
|
|
|
|
|
When 'swapfile' is reset, the swap file for the current buffer is
|
|
|
|
|
immediately deleted. When 'swapfile' is set, and 'updatecount' is
|
|
|
|
|
non-zero, a swap file is immediately created.
|
2016-01-13 19:08:32 -07:00

|
Also see |swap-file|.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00

Maximum column in which to search for syntax items. In long lines the

|
text after this column is not highlighted and following lines may not
|
|
|
|
|
be highlighted correctly, because the syntax state is cleared.
|
|
|
|
|
This helps to avoid very slow redrawing for an XML file that is one

When this option is set, the syntax with this name is loaded, unless
|
|
|
|
|
syntax highlighting has been switched off with ":syntax off".
|
|
|
|
|
Otherwise this option does not always reflect the current syntax (the
|
|
|
|
|
b:current_syntax variable does).
|
|
|
|
|
This option is most useful in a modeline, for a file which syntax is
|
2022-10-20 06:20:02 -07:00
|
|
|
|
not automatically recognized. Example, in an IDL file: >
|
|
|
|
|
/* vim: set syntax=idl : */
|
|
|
|
|
< When a dot appears in the value then this separates two filetype
|
|
|
|
|
names. Example: >
|
|
|
|
|
/* vim: set syntax=c.doxygen : */
|
|
|
|
|
< This will use the "c" syntax first, then the "doxygen" syntax.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Note that the second one must be prepared to be loaded as an addition,
|
|
|
|
|
otherwise it will be skipped. More than one dot may appear.
|
|
|
|
|
To switch off syntax highlighting for the current file, use: >
|
|
|
|
|
:set syntax=OFF
|
|
|
|
|
< To switch syntax highlighting on according to the current value of the
|
|
|
|
|
'filetype' option: >
|
|
|
|
|
:set syntax=ON
|
|
|
|
|
< What actually happens when setting the 'syntax' option is that the
|
|
|
|
|
Syntax autocommand event is triggered with the value as argument.
|
|
|
|
|
This option is not copied to another buffer, independent of the 's' or
|
|
|
|
|
'S' flag in 'cpoptions'.

When non-empty, this option determines the content of the tab pages
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
line at the top of the Vim window. When empty Vim will use a default
|
|
|
|
|
tab pages line. See |setting-tabline| for more info.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The tab pages line only appears as specified with the 'showtabline'
|
|
|
|
|
option and only when there is no GUI tab line. When 'e' is in
|
|
|
|
|
'guioptions' and the GUI supports a tab line 'guitablabel' is used
|
|
|
|
|
instead. Note that the two tab pages lines are very different.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The value is evaluated like with 'statusline'. You can use
|
|
|
|
|
|tabpagenr()|, |tabpagewinnr()| and |tabpagebuflist()| to figure out
|
|
|
|
|
the text to be displayed. Use "%1T" for the first label, "%2T" for
|
|
|
|
|
the second one, etc. Use "%X" items for closing labels.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Note: Setting 'tabstop' to any other value than 8 can make your file
|
2023-01-03 03:07:43 -07:00

|
appear wrong in many places.

2022-01-31 07:27:01 -07:00

There are four main ways to use tabs in Vim:
|
|
|
|
|
1. Always keep 'tabstop' at 8, set 'softtabstop' and 'shiftwidth' to 4
|
|
|
|
|
(or 3 or whatever you prefer) and use 'noexpandtab'. Then Vim
|
|
|
|
|
will use a mix of tabs and spaces, but typing <Tab> and <BS> will
|
|
|
|
|
behave like a tab appears every 4 (or 3) characters.
|
2023-06-11 04:40:22 -07:00
|
|
|
|
This is the recommended way, the file will look the same with other
|
|
|
|
|
tools and when listing it in a terminal.
|
|
|
|
|
2. Set 'softtabstop' and 'shiftwidth' to whatever you prefer and use
|
|
|
|
|
'expandtab'. This way you will always insert spaces. The
|
|
|
|
|
formatting will never be messed up when 'tabstop' is changed (leave
|
|
|
|
|
it at 8 just in case). The file will be a bit larger.
|
|
|
|
|
You do need to check if no Tabs exist in the file. You can get rid
|
|
|
|
|
of them by first setting 'expandtab' and using `%retab!`, making
|
|
|
|
|
sure the value of 'tabstop' is set correctly.
|
|
|
|
|
3. Set 'tabstop' and 'shiftwidth' to whatever you prefer and use
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
'expandtab'. This way you will always insert spaces. The
|
|
|
|
|
formatting will never be messed up when 'tabstop' is changed.
|
2023-06-11 04:40:22 -07:00
|
|
|
|
You do need to check if no Tabs exist in the file, just like in the
|
|
|
|
|
item just above.
|
|
|
|
|
4. Set 'tabstop' and 'shiftwidth' to whatever you prefer and use a
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
|modeline| to set these values when editing the file again. Only
|
2023-06-11 04:40:22 -07:00
|
|
|
|
works when using Vim to edit the file, other tools assume a tabstop
|
|
|
|
|
is worth 8 spaces.
|
|
|
|
|
5. Always set 'tabstop' and 'shiftwidth' to the same value, and
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
'noexpandtab'. This should then work (for initial indents only)
|
|
|
|
|
for any tabstop setting that people use. It might be nice to have
|
|
|
|
|
tabs after the first non-blank inserted as spaces if you do this
|
|
|
|
|
though. Otherwise aligned comments will be wrong when 'tabstop' is
|
|
|
|
|
changed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-02-13 12:06:37 -07:00
|
|
|
|
The value of 'tabstop' will be ignored if |'vartabstop'| is set to
|
|
|
|
|
anything other than an empty string.

|
|
|
|
|
When searching for a tag (e.g., for the |:ta| command), Vim can either
|
|
|
|
|
use a binary search or a linear search in a tags file. Binary
|
|
|
|
|
searching makes searching for a tag a LOT faster, but a linear search
|
|
|
|
|
will find more tags if the tags file wasn't properly sorted.
|
|
|
|
|
Vim normally assumes that your tags files are sorted, or indicate that
|
|
|
|
|
they are not sorted. Only when this is not the case does the
|
|
|
|
|
'tagbsearch' option need to be switched off.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When 'tagbsearch' is on, binary searching is first used in the tags
|
|
|
|
|
files. In certain situations, Vim will do a linear search instead for
|
|
|
|
|
certain files, or retry all files with a linear search. When
|
|
|
|
|
'tagbsearch' is off, only a linear search is done.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Linear searching is done anyway, for one file, when Vim finds a line
|
|
|
|
|
at the start of the file indicating that it's not sorted: >
|
2023-08-04 13:26:53 -07:00
|
|
|
|
!_TAG_FILE_SORTED 0 /some comment/
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
< [The whitespace before and after the '0' must be a single <Tab>]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When a binary search was done and no match was found in any of the
|
2016-02-16 11:24:54 -07:00
|
|
|
|
files listed in 'tags', and case is ignored or a pattern is used
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
instead of a normal tag name, a retry is done with a linear search.
|
|
|
|
|
Tags in unsorted tags files, and matches with different case will only
|
|
|
|
|
be found in the retry.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If a tag file indicates that it is case-fold sorted, the second,
|
2016-02-16 11:24:54 -07:00
|
|
|
|
linear search can be avoided when case is ignored. Use a value of '2'
|
|
|
|
|
in the "!_TAG_FILE_SORTED" line for this. A tag file can be case-fold
|
|
|
|
|
sorted with the -f switch to "sort" in most unices, as in the command:
|
2022-03-20 02:48:10 -07:00
|
|
|
|
"sort -f -o tags tags". For Universal ctags and Exuberant ctags
|
|
|
|
|
version 5.x or higher (at least 5.5) the --sort=foldcase switch can be
|
|
|
|
|
used for this as well. Note that case must be folded to uppercase for
|
|
|
|
|
this to work.
|
2016-02-16 11:24:54 -07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default, tag searches are case-sensitive. Case is ignored when
|
|
|
|
|
'ignorecase' is set and 'tagcase' is "followic", or when 'tagcase' is
|
|
|
|
|
"ignore".
|
2017-02-25 07:42:25 -07:00
|
|
|
|
Also when 'tagcase' is "followscs" and 'smartcase' is set, or
|
|
|
|
|
'tagcase' is "smart", and the pattern contains only lowercase
|
|
|
|
|
characters.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When 'tagbsearch' is off, tags searching is slower when a full match
|
|
|
|
|
exists, but faster when no full match exists. Tags in unsorted tags
|
|
|
|
|
files may only be found with 'tagbsearch' off.
|
|
|
|
|
When the tags file is not sorted, or sorted in a wrong way (not on
|
|
|
|
|
ASCII byte value), 'tagbsearch' should be off, or the line given above
|
|
|
|
|
must be included in the tags file.
|
|
|
|
|
This option doesn't affect commands that find all matching tags (e.g.,
|
|
|
|
|
command-line completion and ":help").

vim-patch:9.0.2009: cmdline-completion for comma-separated options wrong (#25569)
Problem: cmdline-completion for comma-separated options wrong
Solution: Fix command-line expansions for options with filenames with
commas
Fix command-line expansions for options with filenames with commas
Cmdline expansion for option values that take a comma-separated list
of file names is currently not handling file names with commas as the
commas are not escaped. For such options, the commas in file names need
to be escaped (to differentiate from a comma that delimit the list
items). The escaped comma is unescaped in `copy_option_part()` during
option parsing.
Fix as follows:
- Cmdline completion for option values with comma-separated file/folder
names will not start a new match when seeing `\\,` and will instead
consider it as one value.
- File/folder regex matching will strip the `\\` when seeing `\\,` to
make sure it can match the correct files/folders.
- The expanded value will escape `,` with `\\,`, similar to how spaces
are escaped to make sure the option value is correct on the cmdline.
This fix also takes into account the fact that Win32 Vim handles file
name escaping differently. Typing '\,' for a file name results in it
being handled literally but in other platforms '\,' is interpreted as a
simple ',' and commas need to be escaped using '\\,' instead.
Also, make sure this new logic only applies to comma-separated options
like 'path'. Non-list options like 'set makeprg=<Tab>' and regular ex
commands like `:edit <Tab>` do not require escaping and will continue to
work.
Also fix up documentation to be clearer. The original docs are slightly
misleading in how it discusses triple slashes for 'tags'.

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

"*", "**" and other wildcards can be used to search for tags files in
|
|
|
|
|
a directory tree. See |file-searching|. E.g., "/lib/**/tags" will
|
|
|
|
|
find all files named "tags" below "/lib". The filename itself cannot
|
|
|
|
|
contain wildcards, it is used as-is. E.g., "/lib/**/tags?" will find
|
2018-10-28 22:21:37 -07:00
|
|
|
|
files called "tags?".

The |tagfiles()| function can be used to get a list of the file names
|
|
|
|
|
actually used.
|
|
|
|
|
The use of |:set+=| and |:set-=| is preferred when adding or removing
|
|

|
file names from the list. This avoids problems when a future version
|

|
|

When on, the |tagstack| is used normally. When off, a ":tag" or
|

|
|
|
":tselect" command with an argument will not push the tag onto the
|
|
|
|
|
tagstack. A following ":tag" without an argument, a ":pop" command or
|
|
|
|
|
any other command that uses the tagstack will use the unmodified
|
|
|
|
|
tagstack, but does change the pointer to the active entry.
|
|
|
|
|
Resetting this option is useful when using a ":tag" command in a
|
|
|
|
|
mapping which should not change the tagstack.

The terminal is in charge of Bi-directionality of text (as specified

by Unicode). The terminal is also expected to do the required shaping
|
|
|
|
|
that some languages (such as Arabic) require.
|
|

Setting this option implies that 'rightleft' will not be set when

'arabic' is set and the value of 'arabicshape' will be ignored.
|

'ttimeout' boolean (default on)

global
|
|
|
|
|
This option and 'ttimeoutlen' determine the behavior when part of a
|
|
|
|
|
key code sequence has been received by the |TUI|.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example if <Esc> (the \x1b byte) is received and 'ttimeout' is
|
|
|
|
|
set, Nvim waits 'ttimeoutlen' milliseconds for the terminal to
|
|
|
|
|
complete a key code sequence. If no input arrives before the timeout,
|
|
|
|
|
a single <Esc> is assumed. Many TUI cursor key codes start with <Esc>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On very slow systems this may fail, causing cursor keys not to work
|
|
|
|
|
sometimes. If you discover this problem you can ":set ttimeoutlen=9999".
|
|
|
|
|
Nvim will wait for the next character to arrive after an <Esc>.

"." means using the directory of the file. The undo file name for
|
|
|
|
|
"file.txt" is ".file.txt.un~".
|
|
|
|

For other directories the file name is the full path of the edited

When on, Vim automatically saves undo history to an undo file when
|
|
|
|
|
writing a buffer to a file, and restores undo history from the same
|
|
|
|
|
file on buffer read.
|
|
|
|
|
The directory where the undo file is stored is specified by 'undodir'.
|
|
|
|
|
For more information about this feature see |undo-persistence|.
|
|
|
|
|
The undo file is not read when 'undoreload' causes the buffer from
|
|
|
|
|
before a reload to be saved for undo.
|
|
|
|

When 'undofile' is turned off the undo file is NOT deleted.

Maximum number of changes that can be undone. Since undo information
|
2021-04-22 20:08:48 -07:00
|
|

|
is kept in memory, higher numbers will cause more memory to be used.
|

Nevertheless, a single change can already use a large amount of memory.

|
|
|
When saving undo for a reload, any undo file is not read.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Note that this causes the whole buffer to be stored in memory. Set
|

this option to a lower value if you run out of memory.

After typing this many characters the swap file will be written to

disk. When zero, no swap file will be created at all (see chapter on
|
|

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

This option has no meaning in buffers where |'buftype'| is "nofile"

A list of the number of spaces that a <Tab> counts for while editing,

width <Tab>s are being inserted, while in fact a mixture of spaces
|

and <Tab>s is used. Tab widths are separated with commas, with the
|
|
|
|
|
final value applying to all subsequent tabs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, when editing assembly language files where statements
|
|
|
|
|
start in the 9th column and comments in the 41st, it may be useful
|
|
|
|
|
to use the following: >

none When used as the local value, do not allow virtual

2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00

Virtual editing means that the cursor can be positioned where there is
|
|
|
|
|
no actual character. This can be halfway into a tab or beyond the end
|
|
|
|
|
of the line. Useful for selecting a rectangle in Visual mode and
|
|
|
|
|
editing a table.
|
|
|
|
|
"onemore" is not the same, it will only allow moving the cursor just
|
|
|
|
|
after the last character of the line. This makes some commands more
|
|
|
|
|
consistent. Previously the cursor was always past the end of the line
|
|
|
|
|
if the line was empty. But it is far from Vi compatible. It may also
|
|
|
|
|
break some plugins or Vim scripts. For example because |l| can move
|
|
|
|
|
the cursor after the last character. Use with care!
|
|
|
|
|
Using the `$` command will move to the last character in the line, not
|
|
|
|
|
past it. This may actually move the cursor to the left!
|
|
|
|
|
The `g$` command will move to the end of the screen line.
|
|
|
|
|
It doesn't make sense to combine "all" with "onemore", but you will
|
|
|
|
|
not get a warning for it.
|
2021-09-11 07:47:45 -07:00

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

the line. Concatenate characters to allow this for these keys:
|
|
|
|
|
char key mode ~
|
|
|

|
b <BS> Normal and Visual
|
|
|
|
|
s <Space> Normal and Visual

h "h" Normal and Visual (not recommended)

|
|
|
|
|
When the movement keys are used in combination with a delete or change
|
|
|
|
|
operator, the <EOL> also counts for a character. This makes "3h"
|
|
|
|
|
different from "3dh" when the cursor crosses the end of a line. This
|
|
|
|
|
is also true for "x" and "X", because they do the same as "dl" and
|
|
|
|
|
"dh". If you use this, you may also want to use the mapping
|
|
|
|
|
":map <BS> X" to make backspace delete the character in front of the
|
|
|
|
|
cursor.

|
|
makes "dl", "cl", "yl" etc. work normally.

vim-patch:9.0.2035: [security] use-after-free with wildmenu (#25687)
Problem: [security] use-after-free with wildmenu
Solution: properly clean up the wildmenu when exiting
Fix wildchar/wildmenu/pum memory corruption with special wildchar's
Currently, using `wildchar=<Esc>` or `wildchar=<C-\>` can lead to a
memory corruption if using wildmenu+pum, or wrong states if only using
wildmenu. This is due to the code only using one single place inside the
cmdline process loop to perform wild menu clean up (by checking
`end_wildmenu`) but there are other odd situations where the loop could
have exited and we need a post-loop clean up just to be sure. If the
clean up was not done you would have a stale popup menu referring to
invalid memory, or if not using popup menu, incorrect status line (if
`laststatus=0`).
For example, if you hit `<Esc>` two times when it's wildchar, there's a
hard-coded behavior to exit command-line as a failsafe for user, and if
you hit `<C-\><C-\><C-N>` it will also exit command-line, but the clean
up code would not have hit because of specialized `<C-\>` handling.
Fix Ctrl-E / Ctrl-Y to not cancel/accept wildmenu if they are also
used for 'wildchar'/'wildcharm'. Currently they don't behave properly,
and also have potentially memory unsafe behavior as the logic is
currently not accounting for this situation and try to do both.
(Previous patch that addressed this: vim/vim#11677)
Also, correctly document Escape key behavior (double-hit it to escape)
in wildchar docs as it's previously undocumented.
In addition, block known invalid chars to be set in `wildchar` option,
such as Ctrl-C and `<CR>`. This is just to make it clear to the user
they shouldn't be set, and is not required for this bug fix.
closes: vim/vim#13361

<Esc> can be used, but hitting it twice in a row will still exit

command-line as a failsafe measure.

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

mode. On pressing 'wildchar' (usually <Tab>) to invoke completion,
|
|
|
|
|
the possible matches are shown.
|
|

When 'wildoptions' contains "pum", then the completion matches are
|
|

shown in a popup menu. Otherwise they are displayed just above the
|
|
|
|
|
command line, with the first match highlighted (overwriting the status
|
|
|
|
|
line, if there is one).
|
|
|
|
|
Keys that show the previous/next match, such as <Tab> or
|
|
|
|
|
CTRL-P/CTRL-N, cause the highlight to move to the appropriate match.
|
2019-11-17 20:06:59 -07:00

|
subdirectory or submenu.
|
|
|
|
|
<CR> - in menu completion, when the cursor is just after a
|
|
|
|
|
dot: move into a submenu.
|
2023-10-14 04:28:41 -07:00
|
|
|
|
CTRL-E - end completion, go back to what was there before

'wildchar'. It is a comma-separated list of up to four parts. Each
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
part specifies what to do for each consecutive use of 'wildchar'. The
|

|
|
|
|
|
following possible values:
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
"" Complete only the first match.
|
|
|
|
|
"full" Complete the next full match. After the last match,
|
|
|
|
|
the original string is used and then the first match
|
2021-05-02 08:52:52 -07:00
|
|
|
|
again. Will also start 'wildmenu' if it is enabled.
|
2014-07-10 21:05:51 -07:00
|
|
|
|
"longest" Complete till longest common string. If this doesn't
|
|
|
|
|
result in a longer string, use the next part.
|
|
|
|
|
"list" When more than one match, list all matches.

"lastused" When completing buffer names and more than one buffer
|
|
|
|
|
matches, sort buffers by time last used (other than

the current buffer).
|
|
|
|
|
When there is only a single match, it is fully completed in all cases.
|
|
|

When non-empty, this option enables the window bar and determines its
|
|
|
|
|
contents. The window bar is a bar that's shown at the top of every
|
|
|
|
|
window with it enabled. The value of 'winbar' is evaluated like with
|
|
|
|
|
'statusline'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When changing something that is used in 'winbar' that does not trigger
|
|
|
|
|
it to be updated, use |:redrawstatus|.

Floating windows do not use the global value of 'winbar'. The

window-local value of 'winbar' must be set for a floating window to

have a window bar.

Minimal number of lines for the current window. This is not a hard

minimum, Vim will use fewer lines if there is not enough room. If the
|
|
|

|
focus goes to a window that is smaller, its size is increased, at the
|
|
|
|
|
cost of the height of other windows.
|
|
|
|

Set 'winheight' to a small number for normal editing.
|
|
|
|
|
Set it to 999 to make the current window fill most of the screen.
|
|
|
|
|
Other windows will be only 'winminheight' high. This has the drawback
|
|
|
|
|
that ":all" will create only two windows. To avoid "vim -o 1 2 3 4"
|
|
|
|
|
to create only two windows, set the option after startup is done,
|
|
|
|

using the |VimEnter| event: >

au VimEnter * set winheight=999
|

displaying continues on the next line. When off lines will not wrap
