Corrupted regexp program
Something inside Vim went wrong and resulted in a corrupted regexp. If you
know how to reproduce this problem, please report it. |bugs|
*E208* *E209* *E210* >
Error writing to "{filename}"
Error closing "{filename}"
Error reading "{filename}"
This occurs when Vim is trying to rename a file, but a simple change of file
name doesn't work. Then the file will be copied, but somehow this failed.
The result may be that both the original file and the destination file exist
and the destination file may be incomplete.

Vim: Error reading input, exiting...
This occurs when Vim cannot read typed characters while input is required.
Vim got stuck, the only thing it can do is exit. This can happen when both
stdin and stderr are redirected and executing a script that doesn't exit Vim.
*E47* >
Error while reading errorfile
Reading the error file was not possible. This is NOT caused by an error
message that was not recognized.
*E80* >
Error while writing
Writing a file was not completed successfully. The file is probably
incomplete.

File exists (add ! to override)
"{filename}" exists (add ! to override)
You are protected from accidentally overwriting a file. When you want to
write anyway, use the same command, but add a "!" just after the command.
Example: >
:w /tmp/test
changes to: >
:w! /tmp/test
<
*E768* >
Swap file exists: {filename} (:silent! overrides)
You are protected from overwriting a file that is being edited by Vim. This
happens when you use ":w! filename" and a swapfile is found.
- If the swapfile was left over from an old crashed edit session you may want
to delete the swapfile. Edit {filename} to find out information about the
swapfile.
- If you want to write anyway prepend ":silent!" to the command. For example: >
:silent! w! /tmp/test
< The special command is needed, since you already added the ! for overwriting
an existing file.
*E139* >
File is loaded in another buffer
You are trying to write a file under a name which is also used in another
buffer. This would result in two versions of the same file.
*E142* >
File not written: Writing is disabled by 'write' option
The 'write' option is off. This makes all commands that try to write a file
generate this message. This could be caused by a |-m| commandline argument.
You can switch the 'write' option on with ":set write".
*E25* >
Nvim does not have a built-in GUI
Nvim does not have a built in GUI, so `:gvim` and `:gui` don't work.
*E49* >
Invalid scroll size
This is caused by setting an invalid value for the 'scroll', 'scrolljump' or
'scrolloff' options.
*E17* >
"{filename}" is a directory
You tried to write a file with the name of a directory. This is not possible.
You probably need to append a file name.
*E19* >
Mark has invalid line number
You are using a mark that has a line number that doesn't exist. This can
happen when you have a mark in another file, and some other program has
deleted lines from it.
*E219* *E220* >
Missing {.
Missing }.
Using a {} construct in a file name, but there is a { without a matching } or
the other way around. It should be used like this: {foo,bar}. This matches
"foo" and "bar".
*E315* >
ml_get: invalid lnum: {number}
This is an internal Vim error. Please try to find out how it can be
reproduced, and submit a |bug-report|.
*E173* >
{number} more files to edit
You are trying to exit, while the last item in the argument list has not been
edited. This protects you from accidentally exiting when you still have more
files to work on. See |argument-list|. If you do want to exit, just do it
again and it will work.
*E23* *E194* >
No alternate file
No alternate file name to substitute for '#'
The alternate file is not defined yet. See |alternate-file|.
*E32* >
No file name
