Long string options are putĪt the end of the list.

The listing from ' :set' looks different from Vi. The t_xx options cannot be set from a | modeline| or in the | sandbox|, for :set t_kb= :set t_kb E846: Key code not set: t_kb When a key code is not set, it's like it does not exist. There is no warning for using a name that isn't recognized. The advantage over a mapping is that it works in all situations. (the ^[ is a real here, use CTRL-V to enter it) This can also be used to translate a special code for a normal key. The 'xx' part contains special characters, use the form: :se the form 't_xx' may be used to set a terminal option. Key codes are not shown, because they are generated :se Show all options that differ from their default value. These options come in three forms:īoolean can only be on or off * boolean* * toggle* Vim has a number of internal variables and switches which can be set toĪchieve special effects.
