When the interpreter sources the script, every line starts a new statement, except of course in the case of continuation lines, i.e. if (in 'nocompatible' mode) the first nonblank on the line is a backslash, in which case the interpreter disregards the backslash, all (zero or more) tabs or spaces preceding it, and the line break between that line and the one before it.

Re: vim.vim organization
You're likely looking at the automatically generated keyword lists; vimCommands are generated automatically. The keywords are sorted in the usual ascending alphabetical order with 100 keywords per line. Yeah I see the comments now that these lines are auto-generated: syn keyword vimCommand containedabc[lear] argdo argu[ment] bel[owright] bN[ext] ... syn keyword vimCommand containedabo[veleft] arge[dit] as[cii] bf[irst] bo[tright] ... syn keyword vimCommand containedal[l] argg[lobal] bad[d] bl[ast] bp[revious] ... Each of them is internally in alphabetical order. But how are the boundaries between lines decided? They're all keyword vimCommand. Also, is the generator in the repo? -- You received this message from the vim_dev maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
