I think it should because it strengthens the user awareness about cope of options. Anyway: Is there a way to view/set both: local and global settings for those options which are both? > The user would get here to change option values, keep the header as > short as possible. I totally missed that you can change options that way. I never missed it either. By reading the code I assumed its a view only. > I don't think this window should repeat what's in the help files.

I'd assume people using Vim on very slow machines know the options they use very often anyway - probably they have also mapped them. Do you have a rough estimate about how long it takes on such slow machines? Maybe I can can benchmark alternative solutions to find out how much slower they would be. Eg pressing <cr> on binary options could be enough to toggle them - no need to edit them - no need to show the "alternative" value. The logic is pretty simple.
