@@ -292,6 +292,12 @@ Nvim does not have special `t_XX` options nor <t_XX> keycodes to configure

+The 'term' option has a fixed value, present only for script compatibility and
+intentionally not the same as any known terminal type name. It should be a
+rare case in Nvim where one needs |term-dependent-settings|, for which use the
+|TERM| environment variable.

*termcap*
Nvim never uses the termcap database and only uses |terminfo|. See
|builtin-terms| for what happens on operating systems without a terminfo
