When it comes to some commands, getting help is hard. For example, the display command.

I know I can use, for example, set display=truncate or set display=lastline, but when I use :h display to read about other values (I don't really know whether they exist), Vim shows me something completely different:

-display {display}  Run vim on {display}        *-display*

And if try to use :h set display, it shows me an error message.

How to deal with such cases?

  • That's a good link. This section of Vim's help was added by Christian Brabandt afterward to capture much of the same information: :h help-summary

    Thanks. So display is an option and options should be enclosed in single quotes. :h 'display' works fine.

  • Yep. That's right.
