One solution is hidden in the VIM-docs. See options.txt. *'shortmess'* *'shm'* 'shortmess' 'shm' string (default "") global {not in Vi} This option helps to avoid all the |hit-return| prompts caused by file messages, for example with CTRL-G, and to avoid some other messages. It is a list of flags: flag meaning when present ~ f use "(3 of 5)" instead of "(file 3 of 5)" [plus more flags...] This gives you the opportunity to avoid that a change between buffers requires you to hit return, but still gives as useful a message as possible for the space available. To get the whole message that you would have got with 'shm' empty, use ":file!" Useful values: shm= No abbreviation of message. shm=a Abbreviation, but no loss of information. shm=at Abbreviation, and truncate message when necessary. Plus you will want to read message.txt's explanation of |hit-retrun| messages: *hit-return* > Press RETURN or enter command to continue This message is given when there is something on the screen for you to read, and the screen is about to be redrawn: - After executing an external command (e.g., ":!ls" and "="). - Something is displayed on the status line that is longer than the width of the window, or runs into the 'showcmd' or 'ruler' output. To reduce the number of hit-return prompts: - Set 'cmdheight' to 2 or higher. - Add flags to 'shortmess'. - Reset 'showcmd' and/or 'ruler'. -- __ __ Frank Barknecht ____ ______ ____ __ trip\ \ / /wire ______ / __// __ /__/ __// // __ \ \/ / __ \\ ___\ / / / ____/ / / / // ____// /\ \\ ___\\____ \ /_/ /_____/ /_/ /_//_____// / \ \\_____\\_____\ /_/ \_\
