I just managed to clobber one machine's ~/.vim.local directory (where I keep machine-specific settings). Luckily I have an instance of 'vim' still running with the old settings. Armed with my recent ':redir @a' knowledge (thanks to Brett and wikia), I've managed to save the settings I care about, via:

:redir @a
:let
:set
:abbrev
:map
:redir END

But, I was wondering: is there a way to get single-column output for ':set'? The results I got were hard to 'diff'.

My first ugly-but-post-processable idea was to

  :set columns=12

(apparently the min allowed..something I hadn't considered before) and then each value output from ":set" comes out on its own line (or split across multiple lines if too long...but appears unbroken in :redir output)

and then restore your previous value for 'columns'. Granted, for obvious reasons, your diff will have a mismatched value for 'columns' ;-)
