|
|||
|
||||
PREDEFINED VIM VARIABLES *vim-variable* *v:var* *v:*
|
||||
*E963*
|
||||
Some variables can be set by the user, but the type cannot be changed.
|
||||
|
||||
*v:argv* *argv-variable*
|
||||
v:argv The command line arguments Vim was invoked with. This is a
|
||||
list of strings. The first item is the Vim command.
|
||||
See |v:progpath| for the command with full path.
|
||||
|
||||
*v:char* *char-variable*
|
||||
v:char Argument for evaluating 'formatexpr' and used for the typed
|
||||
character when using <expr> in an abbreviation |:map-<expr>|.
|
||||
It is also used by the |InsertCharPre| and |InsertEnter| events.
|
||||
|
||||
*v:charconvert_from* *charconvert_from-variable*
|
||||
v:charconvert_from
|
||||
The name of the character encoding of a file to be converted.
|
||||
Only valid while evaluating the 'charconvert' option.
|
||||
|
||||
*v:charconvert_to* *charconvert_to-variable*
|
||||
v:charconvert_to
|
||||
The name of the character encoding of a file after conversion.
|
||||
Only valid while evaluating the 'charconvert' option.
|
||||
|
||||
*v:cmdarg* *cmdarg-variable*
|
||||
v:cmdarg
|
||||
The extra arguments ("++p", "++enc=", "++ff=") given to a file
|
||||
read/write command. This is set before an autocommand event
|
||||
for a file read/write command is triggered. There is a
|
||||
leading space to make it possible to append this variable
|
||||
directly after the read/write command. Note: "+cmd" isn't
|
||||
included here, because it will be executed anyway.
|
||||
|
||||
*v:collate* *collate-variable*
|
||||
v:collate The current locale setting for collation order of the runtime
|
||||
environment. This allows Vim scripts to be aware of the
|
||||
current locale encoding. Technical: it's the value of
|
||||
LC_COLLATE. When not using a locale the value is "C".
|
||||
This variable can not be set directly, use the |:language|
|
||||
command.
|
||||
See |multi-lang|.
|
||||
|
||||
*v:cmdbang* *cmdbang-variable*
|
||||
v:cmdbang Set like v:cmdarg for a file read/write command. When a "!"
|
||||
was used the value is 1, otherwise it is 0. Note that this
|
||||
can only be used in autocommands. For user commands |<bang>|
|
||||
can be used.
|
||||
|
||||
*v:completed_item* *completed_item-variable*
|
||||
v:completed_item
|
||||
Dictionary containing the most recent |complete-items| after
|
||||
|CompleteDone|. Empty if the completion failed, or after
|
||||
leaving and re-entering insert mode.
|
||||
Note: Plugins can modify the value to emulate the builtin
|
||||
|CompleteDone| event behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
*v:count* *count-variable*
|
||||
v:count The count given for the last Normal mode command. Can be used
|
||||
to get the count before a mapping. Read-only. Example: >
|
||||
:map _x :<C-U>echo "the count is " .. v:count<CR>
|
||||
< Note: The <C-U> is required to remove the line range that you
|
||||
get when typing ':' after a count.
|
||||
When there are two counts, as in "3d2w", they are multiplied,
|
||||
just like what happens in the command, "d6w" for the example.
|
||||
Also used for evaluating the 'formatexpr' option.
|
||||
|
||||
*v:count1* *count1-variable*
|
||||
v:count1 Just like "v:count", but defaults to one when no count is
|
||||
used.
|
||||
|
||||
*v:ctype* *ctype-variable*
|
||||
v:ctype The current locale setting for characters of the runtime
|
||||
environment. This allows Vim scripts to be aware of the
|
||||
current locale encoding. Technical: it's the value of
|
||||
LC_CTYPE. When not using a locale the value is "C".
|
||||
This variable can not be set directly, use the |:language|
|
||||
command.
|
||||
See |multi-lang|.
|
||||
|
||||
*v:dying* *dying-variable*
|
||||
v:dying Normally zero. When a deadly signal is caught it's set to
|
||||
one. When multiple signals are caught the number increases.
|
||||
Can be used in an autocommand to check if Vim didn't
|
||||
terminate normally.
|
||||
Example: >
|
||||
:au VimLeave * if v:dying | echo "\nAAAAaaaarrrggghhhh!!!\n" | endif
|
||||
< Note: if another deadly signal is caught when v:dying is one,
|
||||
VimLeave autocommands will not be executed.
|
||||
|
||||
*v:exiting* *exiting-variable*
|
||||
v:exiting Exit code, or |v:null| before invoking the |VimLeavePre|
|
||||
and |VimLeave| autocmds. See |:q|, |:x| and |:cquit|.
|
||||
Example: >
|
||||
:au VimLeave * echo "Exit value is " .. v:exiting
|
||||
<
|
||||
*v:echospace* *echospace-variable*
|
||||
v:echospace Number of screen cells that can be used for an `:echo` message
|
||||
in the last screen line before causing the |hit-enter-prompt|.
|
||||
Depends on 'showcmd', 'ruler' and 'columns'. You need to
|
||||
check 'cmdheight' for whether there are full-width lines
|
||||
available above the last line.
|
||||
|
||||
*v:errmsg* *errmsg-variable*
|
||||
v:errmsg Last given error message.
|
||||
Modifiable (can be set).
|
||||
Example: >
|
||||
:let v:errmsg = ""
|
||||
:silent! next
|
||||
:if v:errmsg != ""
|
||||
: ... handle error
|
||||
<
|
||||
*v:errors* *errors-variable* *assert-return*
|
||||
v:errors Errors found by assert functions, such as |assert_true()|.
|
||||
This is a list of strings.
|
||||
The assert functions append an item when an assert fails.
|
||||
The return value indicates this: a one is returned if an item
|
||||
was added to v:errors, otherwise zero is returned.
|
||||
To remove old results make it empty: >
|
||||
:let v:errors = []
|
||||
< If v:errors is set to anything but a list it is made an empty
|
||||
list by the assert function.
|
||||
|
||||
*v:event* *event-variable*
|
||||
v:event Dictionary of event data for the current |autocommand|. Valid
|
||||
only during the event lifetime; storing or passing v:event is
|
||||
invalid! Copy it instead: >
|
||||
au TextYankPost * let g:foo = deepcopy(v:event)
|
||||
< Keys vary by event; see the documentation for the specific
|
||||
event, e.g. |DirChanged| or |TextYankPost|.

||||
|
||||
*v:false* *false-variable*
|
||||
v:false Special value used to put "false" in JSON and msgpack. See
|
||||
|json_encode()|. This value is converted to "v:false" when used
|
||||
as a String (e.g. in |expr5| with string concatenation
|
||||
operator) and to zero when used as a Number (e.g. in |expr5|
|
||||
or |expr7| when used with numeric operators). Read-only.
|
||||
|
||||
*v:fcs_reason* *fcs_reason-variable*
|
||||
v:fcs_reason The reason why the |FileChangedShell| event was triggered.
|
||||
Can be used in an autocommand to decide what to do and/or what
|
||||
to set v:fcs_choice to. Possible values:
|
||||
deleted file no longer exists
|
||||
conflict file contents, mode or timestamp was
|
||||
changed and buffer is modified

do with the affected buffer:
|
||||
reload Reload the buffer (does not work if
|
||||
the file was deleted).
|
||||
edit Reload the buffer and detect the
|
||||
values for options such as
|
||||
'fileformat', 'fileencoding', 'binary'
|
||||
(does not work if the file was
|
||||
deleted).
|
||||
ask Ask the user what to do, as if there
|
||||
was no autocommand. Except that when
|
||||
only the timestamp changed nothing
|
||||
will happen.
|
||||
<empty> Nothing, the autocommand should do
|
||||
everything that needs to be done.
|
||||
The default is empty. If another (invalid) value is used then
|
||||
Vim behaves like it is empty, there is no warning message.
|
||||
|
||||
*v:fname* *fname-variable*
|
||||
v:fname When evaluating 'includeexpr': the file name that was
|

'diffexpr' output of diff
|
||||
'patchexpr' resulting patched file
|
||||
[1] When doing conversion for a write command (e.g., ":w
|
||||
file") it will be equal to v:fname_in. When doing conversion
|
||||
for a read command (e.g., ":e file") it will be a temporary
|
||||
file and different from v:fname_in.
|
||||
|
||||
*v:fname_new* *fname_new-variable*
|
||||
v:fname_new The name of the new version of the file. Only valid while

|
||||
v:hlsearch Variable that indicates whether search highlighting is on.
|
||||
Setting it makes sense only if 'hlsearch' is enabled. Setting

||||
setting it to one acts like >
|
||||
let &hlsearch = &hlsearch

*v:mouse_col* *mouse_col-variable*
|
||||

*v:msgpack_types* *msgpack_types-variable*
|
||||
v:msgpack_types Dictionary containing msgpack types used by |msgpackparse()|
|
||||
and |msgpackdump()|. All types inside dictionary are fixed
|

(not editable) empty lists. To check whether some list is one
|
||||
of msgpack types, use |is| operator.
|
||||
|
||||
*v:null* *null-variable*
|
||||
v:null Special value used to put "null" in JSON and NIL in msgpack.
|
||||
See |json_encode()|. This value is converted to "v:null" when

|
||||
operator) and to zero when used as a Number (e.g. in |expr5|

|
||||
'shada' option (default is 100).
|
||||
When the |shada| file is not used the List is empty.
|
||||
Also see |:oldfiles| and |c_#<|.
|
||||
The List can be modified, but this has no effect on what is
|
||||
stored in the |shada| file later. If you use values other
|
||||
than String this will cause trouble.
|
||||

|
||||
autocommand.

|
||||
< The value remains set until another operator is entered, thus
|
||||
don't expect it to be empty.

|
||||
Read-only.
|
||||
|
||||
*$NVIM*
|
||||
$NVIM is set by |terminal| and |jobstart()|, and is thus
|
||||
a hint that the current environment is a subprocess of Nvim.
|
||||
Example: >
|
||||
if $NVIM
|
||||
echo nvim_get_chan_info(v:parent)
|
||||

||||
The value -1 is often used when the command could not be
|
||||
executed. Read-only.
|
||||
Example: >
|
||||
:!mv foo bar
|
||||
:if v:shell_error

||||
v:stderr |channel-id| corresponding to stderr. The value is always 2;
|
||||
use this variable to make your code more descriptive.
|
||||
Unlike stdin and stdout (see |stdioopen()|), stderr is always
|
||||
open for writing. Example: >
|
||||
:call chansend(v:stderr, "error: toaster empty\n")
|
||||

'e' Edit anyway
|
||||
'r' Recover
|
||||
'd' Delete swapfile
|
||||
'q' Quit
|
||||
'a' Abort
|
||||
The value should be a single-character string. An empty value
|
||||
results in the user being asked, as would happen when there is
|
||||
no SwapExists autocommand. The default is empty.
|
||||
|
||||
*v:swapcommand* *swapcommand-variable*
|
||||
v:swapcommand Normal mode command to be executed after a file has been

||||
*v:char* *char-variable*
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
*v:charconvert_from* *charconvert_from-variable*
|
||||
v:charconvert_from
|
||||
The name of the character encoding of a file to be converted.

v:cmdarg
|
||||
The extra arguments ("++p", "++enc=", "++ff=") given to a file
|
||||
read/write command. This is set before an autocommand event
|
||||
for a file read/write command is triggered. There is a
|
||||
leading space to make it possible to append this variable
|
||||
directly after the read/write command. Note: "+cmd" isn't
|
||||
included here, because it will be executed anyway.
|
||||
|
||||
*v:collate* *collate-variable*
|
||||
v:collate The current locale setting for collation order of the runtime
|
||||
environment. This allows Vim scripts to be aware of the
|
||||
current locale encoding. Technical: it's the value of
|
||||
LC_COLLATE. When not using a locale the value is "C".
|
||||
This variable can not be set directly, use the |:language|
|
||||
command.
|
||||
See |multi-lang|.
|
||||
|
||||
*v:cmdbang* *cmdbang-variable*
|
||||
v:cmdbang Set like v:cmdarg for a file read/write command. When a "!"
|
||||
was used the value is 1, otherwise it is 0. Note that this
|
||||
can only be used in autocommands. For user commands |<bang>|
|
||||
can be used.

||||
|
||||
*v:completed_item* *completed_item-variable*
|
||||
v:completed_item
|
||||

|
||||
|CompleteDone|. Empty if the completion failed, or after
|

|
||||
|CompleteDone| event behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
*v:count* *count-variable*
|
||||
v:count The count given for the last Normal mode command. Can be used
|
||||
to get the count before a mapping. Read-only. Example: >
|
||||
:map _x :<C-U>echo "the count is " .. v:count<CR>
|
||||
< Note: The <C-U> is required to remove the line range that you
|
||||
get when typing ':' after a count.
|
||||
When there are two counts, as in "3d2w", they are multiplied,
|
||||
just like what happens in the command, "d6w" for the example.
|
||||
Also used for evaluating the 'formatexpr' option.
|
||||
|
||||
*v:count1* *count1-variable*
|
||||
v:count1 Just like "v:count", but defaults to one when no count is

||||
used.
|
||||
|
||||
*v:ctype* *ctype-variable*
|
||||
v:ctype The current locale setting for characters of the runtime
|
||||
environment. This allows Vim scripts to be aware of the
|
||||
current locale encoding. Technical: it's the value of
|
||||
LC_CTYPE. When not using a locale the value is "C".
|
||||
This variable can not be set directly, use the |:language|
|
||||
command.
|
||||
See |multi-lang|.
|
||||
|
||||
*v:dying* *dying-variable*
|
||||
v:dying Normally zero. When a deadly signal is caught it's set to
|
||||
one. When multiple signals are caught the number increases.
|
||||
Can be used in an autocommand to check if Vim didn't
|
||||
terminate normally.
|
||||
Example: >
|
||||
:au VimLeave * if v:dying | echo "\nAAAAaaaarrrggghhhh!!!\n" | endif
|
||||
< Note: if another deadly signal is caught when v:dying is one,
|
||||
VimLeave autocommands will not be executed.
|
||||
|
||||
*v:exiting* *exiting-variable*
|
||||
v:exiting Exit code, or |v:null| before invoking the |VimLeavePre|
|
||||
and |VimLeave| autocmds. See |:q|, |:x| and |:cquit|.
|
||||

||||
*v:echospace* *echospace-variable*
|
||||

|
||||
in the last screen line before causing the |hit-enter-prompt|.
|
||||
Depends on 'showcmd', 'ruler' and 'columns'. You need to
|
||||
check 'cmdheight' for whether there are full-width lines
|
||||
available above the last line.
|
||||
|
||||
*v:errmsg* *errmsg-variable*
|
||||
v:errmsg Last given error message.
|
||||
Modifiable (can be set).
|
||||
Example: >

||||
:silent! next
|
||||
:if v:errmsg != ""
|
||||
: ... handle error
|
||||
<
|
||||
*v:errors* *errors-variable* *assert-return*
|
||||
v:errors Errors found by assert functions, such as |assert_true()|.
|
||||
This is a list of strings.
|
||||
The assert functions append an item when an assert fails.
|
||||
The return value indicates this: a one is returned if an item
|
||||
was added to v:errors, otherwise zero is returned.
|
||||
To remove old results make it empty: >
|
||||
:let v:errors = []
|
||||

|
||||
list by the assert function.
|
||||
|
||||
*v:event* *event-variable*

Also see |:oldfiles| and |c_#<|.
|
||||
The List can be modified, but this has no effect on what is
