All buffer-local option have a global counterpart. ":set option=value"
sets both. ":setlocal option=value" sets only the current local value.
":setglobal option=value" sets only the global default. OTOH, ":set
option?" displays the current local value if any; you need ":setglobal
option?" to display the global value. In the latter two cases, prefixing
with ":verbose " tells you where the value in question was set.
See ":help local-options".
Normally, the global setting is used when creating a file which doesn't
yet exist. However, in the case of 'fenc' 'ff' and 'binary', the ++enc,
++ff, ++bin and ++nobin arguments to ":edit" (and some other commands)
can override this.
See ":help ++opt".
Best regards,
Tony.
