vim/Keyshort/Inspect/Setting Value

• Keyshort vim/Keyshort vim/Keyshort/Inspect
  • Given a Vim setting named <option>, inspect its current value #card
    • Shortcut: :set <option>? (example: :set runtimepath?, :set number?)
    • set is the Ex command for options (Vim's internal configuration variables).
    • ? means "query": always print the option's current value, including when it matches the default.
    • Contrast for the same option name:
      • :set <option>=... → assign a value
      • :set <option> alone → show only if non-default (for boolean options, often toggle)
      • :set <option>? → always show the current value
    • Boolean-style pattern: :set number on, :set nonumber off, :set number? reports on/off
