When 'verbose' is non-zero messages are printed (for

debugging, to stderr).

'term' and $TERM are not used.

If Vim appears to be stuck try typing "qa!<Enter>". You don't

get a prompt thus you can't see Vim is waiting for you to type

When {vimrc} is equal to "NONE" (all uppercase), all
316
316
initializations from files and environment variables are
317
317
skipped, including reading the |ginit.vim| file when the GUI
318
starts. Loading plugins is also skipped.

When {vimrc} is equal to "NORC" (all uppercase), this has the

same effect as "NONE", but loading plugins is not skipped.

At startup, Vim checks environment variables and files and sets values
355
356
accordingly. Vim proceeds in this order:
357
1. Set the 'shell' and 'term' option *SHELL* *COMSPEC* *TERM*
358
1. Set the 'shell' option *SHELL* *COMSPEC* *TERM*
358
359
The environment variable SHELL, if it exists, is used to set the
359
360
'shell' option. On Windows, the COMSPEC variable is used
360
361
if SHELL is not set.
361
The environment variable TERM, if it exists, is used to set the 'term'
362
option. However, 'term' will change later when starting the GUI (step
365
363
2. Process the arguments
366
364
The options and file names from the command that start Vim are
382
380
Places for your personal initializations:
383
381
Unix $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim/init.vim
384
382
(default for $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is ~/.config)
383
Windows $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim/init.vim
384
(default for $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is ~/AppData/Local)
386
386
The files are searched in the order specified above and only the first
387
387
one that is found is read.
394
394
All following initializations until 4. are skipped. $MYVIMRC is not
396
396
"vim -u NORC" can be used to skip these initializations without
397
reading a file. "vim -u NONE" also skips loading plugins. |-u|
397
reading a file. "vim -u NONE" also skips plugins and syntax
399
400
If Vim was started in Ex mode with the "-s" argument, all following
400
401
initializations until 4. are skipped. Only the "-u" option is
427
428
- The file ".exrc" (for Unix)
428
429
"_exrc" (for Win32)
430
4. Load the plugin scripts. *load-plugins*
431
4. Enable filetype and indent plugins.
432
This does the same as the commands: >
433
:runtime! filetype.vim
434
:runtime! ftplugin.vim
436
< This step is skipped if ":filetype ..." was called before now or if
437
the "-u NONE" command line argument was given.
439
5. Enable syntax highlighting.
440
This does the same as the command: >
441
:runtime! syntax/syntax.vim
442
< Note: This enables filetype detection even if ":filetype off" was
444
This step is skipped if the "-u NONE" command line argument was given.
446
6. Load the plugin scripts. *load-plugins*
431
447
This does the same as the command: >
432
448
:runtime! plugin/**/*.vim
433
449
< The result is that all directories in the 'runtimepath' option will be
443
459
commands from the command line have not been executed yet. You can
444
460
use "--cmd 'set noloadplugins'" |--cmd|.
446
5. Set 'shellpipe' and 'shellredir'
462
7. Set 'shellpipe' and 'shellredir'
447
463
The 'shellpipe' and 'shellredir' options are set according to the
448
464
value of the 'shell' option, unless they have been set before.
449
465
This means that Vim will figure out the values of 'shellpipe' and
450
466
'shellredir' for you, unless you have set them yourself.
452
6. Set 'updatecount' to zero, if "-n" command argument used
468
8. Set 'updatecount' to zero, if "-n" command argument used
454
7. Set binary options
470
9. Set binary options
455
471
If the "-b" flag was given to Vim, the options for binary editing will
456
472
be set now. See |-b|.
458
8. Perform GUI initializations
474
10. Perform GUI initializations
459
475
Only when starting "gvim", the GUI initializations will be done. See
462
9. Read the ShaDa file
463
If the 'shada' option is not empty, the ShaDa file is read. See
478
11. Read the ShaDa file
466
10. Read the quickfix file
481
12. Read the quickfix file
467
482
If the "-q" flag was given to Vim, the quickfix file is read. If this
468
483
fails, Vim exits.
471
486
When the |-o| flag was given, windows will be opened (but not
473
488
When the |-p| flag was given, tab pages will be created (but not
476
491
If the "-q" flag was given to Vim, the first error is jumped to.
477
492
Buffers for all windows will be loaded.
479
12. Execute startup commands
494
14. Execute startup commands
480
495
If a "-t" flag was given to Vim, the tag is jumped to.
481
496
The commands given with the |-c| and |+cmd| arguments are executed.
482
497
The starting flag is reset, has("vim_starting") will now return zero.
705
720
These commands will write ":map" and ":set" commands to a file, in such a way
706
721
that when these commands are executed, the current key mappings and options
707
722
will be set to the same values. The options 'columns', 'endofline',
708
'fileformat', 'lines', 'modified', 'scroll', and 'term' are not included,
709
because these are terminal or file dependent.
723
'fileformat', 'lines', 'modified', and 'scroll' are not included, because
724
these are terminal or file dependent.
710
725
Note that the options 'binary', 'paste' and 'readonly' are included, this
711
726
might not always be what you want.
