We have soooo many options. Therefore it's important to pick a good name.
For the terminal window we have options starting with "term". But we also have: 'term' name of the terminal 'termbidi' 'tbidi' terminal takes care of bi-directionality 'termencoding' 'tenc' character encoding used by the terminal 'termguicolors' 'tgc' use GUI colors for the terminal These are for the terminal Vim is running in. And I now realize the last added option was inconsistent: 'terminalscroll' 'tlsl' max number of scrollback lines in a terminal window 'termkey' 'tk' key that precedes a Vim command in a terminal 'termsize' 'tms' size of a terminal window Thinking about minimum confusion, when we are talking about options for the terminal window, we should make them start with "termwin". May be a bit obscure if you first read it, but we'll get used to it: 'termwinscroll' 'twsl' max number of scrollback lines in a terminal window 'termwinkey' 'twk' key that precedes a Vim command in a terminal 'termwinsize' 'tws' size of a terminal window It does make the short names easier. The main drawback right now is that users may already be using the older names, since they have been around for a few months. Still, if we don't change it now, we will be stuck with it "forever". Thus I tend to make this change, unless someone has a reason we should not. -- 'Psychologist' -- Someone who looks at everyone else when an attractive woman enters the room. /// Bram Moolenaar -- [email protected] -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ an exciting new programming language -- http://www.Zimbu.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org /// -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
