very frustrating this particular time.. I only had to page up once from where I was (*printoptions*) to find it.. > > See > :help 'printfont' > :help pfn-option This last one does not work in my version of vim. :help pfn does.. > > You could have found the latter from the former, which you could have > found by means of > > :help 'print<Tab> > > using :set nocompatible wildmenu starting using wildmenu yesterday.. nicer than ":h print+<Ctrl-D>" need to get used to it. Also, I found a vim plugin that provides a printoptions menu - prtdialog.vim - so you only need to remember the command to start it but I don't know if it's my setup or what.. I can't get it to work. You're supposed to type <Leader>pd to activate the menu but vim keeps telling me that "modifiable is off" each time I issue a \pd against anything like a vim help file.. a man page.. etc. Not very useful. > > > HTH, > Tony.
