Sometimes I create/change modelines on the fly as a I create or
modify a file and want to see the results of my changes w/o saving
(or exiting/re-entering).

Why don't simple modelines work in 'set'?

i.e. I often have trivial tabs-setup modelines I add at the end
of a new file, like:

: vim:ts=4:sw=4:si
or in text
: vim:et:sts=4:sw=4:nosi:ai
...etc.

What I'd like to do is type
:set ts=4:sw=4:si

But I get an 'invalid argument'.

Is there a reason why the multi-set syntax is prohibited/disabled during
interactive input mode?   Is there a flag to enable it?



Thanks,
-linda
