Thank you for the clarification, Theo. I would like to politely submit
the following diff for common/options.c:
@@ -345,7 +345,6 @@ opts_init(SCR *sp, int *oargs)
"directory=%s", (s = getenv("TMPDIR")) == NULL ? _PATH_TMP : s);
OI(O_TMP_DIRECTORY, b1);
OI(O_ESCAPETIME, "escapetime=1");
- OI(O_FILEC, "filec=\t");
OI(O_KEYTIME, "keytime=6");
OI(O_MATCHTIME, "matchtime=7");
OI(O_REPORT, "report=5");
The reverse was imported from FreeBSD in v.1.19. Unfortunately, it
seems that the ex parser removes backslash escapes completely, making
it impossible to use :s/^/\t/ or something like that. Yes, I could
install vim or modify .exrc. But I would much prefer to see the old
behavior come back. If you need to view the files in the current
directory, you can just use :!ls.
