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=
This only works for a string option. For a number or boolean option you need
to use the "<" flag, like this: >
:setlocal autoread<
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: >
: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=
Note: In the future more global options can be made |global-local|. Using
":setlocal" on a global option might work differently then.
*option-value-function*
Some options ('completefunc', 'findfunc', '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:
>
set opfunc=MyOpFunc
set opfunc=function('MyOpFunc')
set opfunc=funcref('MyOpFunc')
set opfunc={a\ ->\ MyOpFunc(a)}
Set to a script-local function: >
set opfunc=s:MyLocalFunc
set opfunc=<SID>MyLocalFunc
Set using a funcref variable: >
let Fn = function('MyTagFunc')
let &tagfunc = Fn
Set using a lambda expression: >
let &tagfunc = {t -> MyTagFunc(t)}
Set using a variable with lambda expression: >
let L = {a, b, c -> MyTagFunc(a, b , c)}
let &tagfunc = L
Calling a function in an expr option *expr-option-function*
The value of a few options, such as 'foldexpr', is an expression that is
evaluated to get a value. The evaluation can have quite a bit of overhead.
One way to minimize the overhead, and also to keep the option value very
simple, is to define a function and set the option to call it without
arguments. A |v:lua-call| can also be used. Example: >vim
lua << EOF
function _G.MyFoldFunc()
-- ... compute fold level for line v:lnum
return level
end
EOF
set foldexpr=v:lua.MyFoldFunc()
Setting the filetype
:setf[iletype] [FALLBACK] {filetype} *:setf* *:setfiletype*
Set the 'filetype' option to {filetype}, but only if
not done yet in a sequence of (nested) autocommands.
This is short for: >
:if !did_filetype()
: setlocal filetype={filetype}
:endif
< This command is used in a filetype.vim file to avoid
setting the 'filetype' option twice, causing different
settings and syntax files to be loaded.
When the optional FALLBACK argument is present, a
later :setfiletype command will override the
'filetype'. This is to be used for filetype
detections that are just a guess. |did_filetype()|
will return false after this command.
*option-window* *optwin*
:bro[wse] se[t] *:set-browse* *:browse-set* *:opt* *:options*
:opt[ions] Open a window for viewing and setting all options.
Options are grouped by function.
Offers short help for each option. Hit <CR> on the
short help to open a help window with more help for
the option.
Modify the value of the option and hit <CR> on the
"set" line to set the new value. For window and
buffer specific options, the last accessed window is
used to set the option value in, unless this is a help
window, in which case the window below help window is
used (skipping the option-window).
*$HOME*
Using "~" is like using "$HOME", but it is only recognized at the start of an
option and after a space or comma.
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,
