There are three special commands for configuration.
"set" is used to set an option which could be bool (e.g. "set hidden", "set
nohidden", "set hidden!"), int (e.g. "set scrolloff 10"), or string (e.g. "set
sortby time").
"set" is used to set an option which could be boolean, integer, or string:
"map" is used to bind a key to a command which could be built-in command (e.g.
"map gh cd ~"), custom command (e.g. "map D trash"), or shell command (e.g.
"map i $less "$f"", "map u !du -h . | less"). You can delete an existing
binding by leaving the expression empty (e.g. "map gh").
set hidden # boolean on
set nohidden # boolean off
set hidden! # boolean toggle
set scrolloff 10 # integer value
set sortby time # string value w/o quotes
"cmd" is used to define a custom command or delete an existing command by
leaving the expression empty (e.g. "cmd trash").
"map" is used to bind a key to a command which could be built-in command,
custom command, or shell command:
If there is no prefix then ":" is assumed. An explicit ":" could be provided to
group statements until a "\n" occurs. This is especially useful for "map" and
"cmd" commands. If you need multiline you can wrap statements in "{{" and "}}"
after the proper prefix.
map gh cd ~ # built-in command
map D trash # custom command
map i $less "$f" # shell command
map u !du -h . # waiting shell command
You can delete an existing binding by leaving the expression empty:
map gh # deletes 'gh' mapping
"cmd" is used to define a custom command
cmd usage $du -h . | less
