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

5. Option 5 -- ..............Long

|<-- 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?
Thankyou
Rather than reinventing the wheel, have you tried using the :options
command?
Best regards,
Tony.
