I have a simple question that I can't seem to figure out. When I use the
echo command to echo a statement on my open window, it simply displays that
message in the status bar. However, if I use echo in a function, it adds
"Please ENTER or type command to continue" after it.
How do I make it not do that? Eg, I just want it to display the message,
not prompt me to press a key.
Try 2 things
(1) add :redraw before the :echo in question
(2) if that doesn't help, make message shorter.
I noticed that if message is longer than screen width-15,
it cases the prompt.
You could also readjust the height of the command-line dynamically:
let msg = "str"
let len = strlen(substitute(msg, ".", "x", "g"))
let t_ch = &cmdheight
let &cmdheight = len / (&columns - 15) + 1
echo msg
let &cmdheight = t_ch
See ":help 'cmdheight'" & ":help strlen()".
HTH :)
