+ 				      *v:motion_force* *motion_force-variable*
+ v:motion_force	The information about forcing the type of a motion for the
+ 		current or the last executed operator, such as |o_v| and
+ 		others.  Read-only.  The value is a string which can be one of
+ 		the following values:
+ 
+ 			value		meaning ~
+ 			v		|o_v| is given
+ 			V		|o_V| is given
+ 			<C-v>		|o_CTRL-V| is given
+ 			(null string)	motion type is not forced
+ 
+ 		This variable is useful to implement new motions and new text
+ 		objects which behave the same as built-in motions and text
+ 		objects.
+ 
  					*v:mouse_win* *mouse_win-variable*
  v:mouse_win	Window number for a mouse click obtained with |getchar()|.
  		First window has number 1, like with |winnr()|.  The value is
