Hello
I am trying to expand the command window a bit so that it becomes a simple option selector (I put "set cmdheight=5" in vimrc). I echo those options like: (they are longer than the window) 1. Option 1 -- ..............Long Explanation................................. 2. Option 2 -- ..............Long Explanation................................. 3. Option 3 -- ..............Long Explanation................................. 4. Option 4 -- ..............Long Explanation................................. 5. Option 5 -- ..............Long Explanation................................. |<-- ScrollBar -->| However I cannot make those options nowrap around the end of the line as it will be ugly like this: 1. Option 1 -- ..............Long Explanation...................... ............ 2. Option 2 -- ..............Long Explanation...................... ............ 3. Option 3 -- ..............Long Explanation...................... ............ 4. Option 4 -- ..............Long Explanation...................... ............ 5. Option 5 -- ..............Long Explanation...................... ............ |<-- ScrollBar -->| I see the scrollbar but cannot scroll as the lines wrap at the end. "echo" or "echohl" simply does not listen to "set nowrap" or "setlocal nowrap". I search a lot including manual and books but cannot find. I wonder if they follow some basic formatting settings: When wrap-on: setlocal linebreak + breakat When wrap-off: setlocal scrolloff=2 setlocal sidescrolloff=2 Could anyone tell me how to nowrap the echoes?
