after/syntax/syncolor.vim file should transition that file into a
colorscheme. |:colorscheme|
Vimscript compatibility:
- `count` does not alias to |v:count|
- `errmsg` does not alias to |v:errmsg|
- `shell_error` does not alias to |v:shell_error|
- `this_session` does not alias to |v:this_session|
Working directory (Vim implemented some of these after Nvim):
- |DirChanged| and |DirChangedPre| can be triggered when switching to another
window or tab.
- |getcwd()| and |haslocaldir()| may throw errors if the tab page or window
cannot be found. *E5000* *E5001* *E5002*
- |haslocaldir()| checks for tab-local directory if and only if -1 is passed as
window number, and its only possible returns values are 0 and 1.
- `getcwd(-1)` is equivalent to `getcwd(-1, 0)` instead of returning the global
working directory. Use `getcwd(-1, -1)` to get the global working directory.
Options:
- 'titlestring' uses printf-style '%' items (see: 'statusline') to implement
the default behaviour. The implementation is equivalent to setting
'titlestring' to `%t%(\ %M%)%(\ \(%{expand(\"%:~:h\")}\)%)%a\ -\ Nvim`.
