Actually, you should look at the above options, and see if you want
all of them.  These are what I use for when I'm writing text (instead
of code).

Not that I know of.

I tried:

:set ?formatoptions
:set ?formatoptions+
:setlocal ?formatoptions .. etc.

set formatoptions?
set fo?

You've got a dyslexic "?"  :-)


and vim didn't seem to like it..

I then did a

:set

and formatoptions is apparently set to:

    formatoptions=tcql

.. looks very different from what you have above?

Right.  See:

:help fo-table

which describes that each of the letters means.  Pay particular
attention to "a" and "w".  I got tired of "w", so I stopped using it,
but you might want it.


I'll look into it further later today since it's really getting late.

btw, is there any way I can direct vim to write the output of a query
such as ':set' or ':ve' directly to the buffer? That would come in
handy when someone asks me for more info as to how my system is
configured.

:redir @a>

do stuff, and when done

:redir end

Then you have everything in register "a", and can paste it where ever.

I'm working on a script right now which automatically transfers
everything to a regular buffer window.  I haven't released it yet.  If
you're interested, I can send it.
