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'.
