*vvars.txt* Nvim
NVIM REFERENCE MANUAL
Predefined variables *vvars*
Most variables are read-only, when a variable can be set by the user, it will
be mentioned at the variable description below. The type cannot be changed.
Type |gO| to see the table of contents.
*v:argv* *argv-variable*
v:argv
The command line arguments Vim was invoked with. This is a
list of strings. The first item is the Vim command.
See |v:progpath| for the command with full path.
*v:char* *char-variable*
v:char
Argument for evaluating 'formatexpr' and used for the typed
character when using <expr> in an abbreviation |:map-<expr>|.
It is also used by the |InsertCharPre| and |InsertEnter| events.
*v:charconvert_from* *charconvert_from-variable*
v:charconvert_from
The name of the character encoding of a file to be converted.
Only valid while evaluating the 'charconvert' option.
*v:charconvert_to* *charconvert_to-variable*
v:charconvert_to
The name of the character encoding of a file after conversion.
Only valid while evaluating the 'charconvert' option.
*v:cmdarg* *cmdarg-variable*
v:cmdarg
The extra arguments ("++p", "++enc=", "++ff=") given to a file
read/write command. This is set before an autocommand event
for a file read/write command is triggered. There is a
leading space to make it possible to append this variable
directly after the read/write command. Note: "+cmd" isn't
included here, because it will be executed anyway.
*v:cmdbang* *cmdbang-variable*
v:cmdbang
Set like v:cmdarg for a file read/write command. When a "!"
was used the value is 1, otherwise it is 0. Note that this
can only be used in autocommands. For user commands |<bang>|
can be used.
*v:collate* *collate-variable*
v:collate
The current locale setting for collation order of the runtime
environment. This allows Vim scripts to be aware of the
current locale encoding. Technical: it's the value of
LC_COLLATE. When not using a locale the value is "C".
This variable can not be set directly, use the |:language|
command.
See |multi-lang|.
*v:completed_item* *completed_item-variable*
v:completed_item
Dictionary containing the |complete-items| for the most
recently completed word after |CompleteDone|. Empty if the
completion failed, or after leaving and re-entering insert
mode.
Note: Plugins can modify the value to emulate the builtin
|CompleteDone| event behavior.
*v:count* *count-variable*
v:count
The count given for the last Normal mode command. Can be used
to get the count before a mapping. Read-only. Example: >vim
:map _x :<C-U>echo "the count is " .. v:count<CR>
<
Note: The <C-U> is required to remove the line range that you
get when typing ':' after a count.
When there are two counts, as in "3d2w", they are multiplied,
just like what happens in the command, "d6w" for the example.
Also used for evaluating the 'formatexpr' option.
*v:count1* *count1-variable*
v:count1
Just like "v:count", but defaults to one when no count is
used.
*v:ctype* *ctype-variable*
v:ctype
The current locale setting for characters of the runtime
environment. This allows Vim scripts to be aware of the
current locale encoding. Technical: it's the value of
LC_CTYPE. When not using a locale the value is "C".
This variable can not be set directly, use the |:language|
command.
See |multi-lang|.
*v:dying* *dying-variable*
v:dying
Normally zero. When a deadly signal is caught it's set to
one. When multiple signals are caught the number increases.
Can be used in an autocommand to check if Vim didn't
terminate normally.
Example: >vim
:au VimLeave * if v:dying | echo "\nAAAAaaaarrrggghhhh!!!\n" | endif
<
Note: if another deadly signal is caught when v:dying is one,
VimLeave autocommands will not be executed.
*v:echospace* *echospace-variable*
v:echospace
Number of screen cells that can be used for an `:echo` message
in the last screen line before causing the |hit-enter-prompt|.
Depends on 'showcmd', 'ruler' and 'columns'. You need to
check 'cmdheight' for whether there are full-width lines
available above the last line.
*v:errmsg* *errmsg-variable*
v:errmsg
Last given error message.
Modifiable (can be set).
Example: >vim
let v:errmsg = ""
silent! next
if v:errmsg != ""
" ... handle error
<
*v:errors* *errors-variable* *assert-return*
v:errors
Errors found by assert functions, such as |assert_true()|.
This is a list of strings.
The assert functions append an item when an assert fails.
The return value indicates this: a one is returned if an item
was added to v:errors, otherwise zero is returned.
To remove old results make it empty: >vim
let v:errors = []
<
If v:errors is set to anything but a list it is made an empty
list by the assert function.
*v:event* *event-variable*
v:event
Dictionary of event data for the current |autocommand|. Valid
only during the event lifetime; storing or passing v:event is
invalid! Copy it instead: >vim
au TextYankPost * let g:foo = deepcopy(v:event)
<
Keys vary by event; see the documentation for the specific
event, e.g. |DirChanged| or |TextYankPost|.
KEY DESCRIPTION ~

`v:event.operator` is "y".
regcontents Text stored in the register as a
|readfile()|-style list of lines.
regname Requested register (e.g "x" for "xyy)
or the empty string for an unnamed

visual Selection is visual (as opposed to,
e.g., via motion).
completed_item Current selected complete item on
|CompleteChanged|, Is `{}` when no complete
item selected.
height Height of popup menu on |CompleteChanged|
width Width of popup menu on |CompleteChanged|
row Row count of popup menu on |CompleteChanged|,
relative to screen.
col Col count of popup menu on |CompleteChanged|,
relative to screen.
size Total number of completion items on
|CompleteChanged|.
scrollbar Is |v:true| if popup menu have scrollbar, or
|v:false| if not.
changed_window Is |v:true| if the event fired while
changing window (or tab) on |DirChanged|.
status Job status or exit code, -1 means "unknown". |TermClose|
reason Reason for completion being done. |CompleteDone|
complete_word The word that was selected, empty if abandoned complete.
complete_type See |complete_info_mode|
*v:exception* *exception-variable*
v:exception
The value of the exception most recently caught and not
finished. See also |v:stacktrace|, |v:throwpoint|, and
|throw-variables|.
Example: >vim
try
throw "oops"
catch /.*/
echo "caught " .. v:exception
endtry
<
Output: "caught oops".
*v:exiting* *exiting-variable*
v:exiting
Exit code, or |v:null| before invoking the |VimLeavePre|
and |VimLeave| autocmds. See |:q|, |:x| and |:cquit|.
Example: >vim
:au VimLeave * echo "Exit value is " .. v:exiting
<
*v:false* *false-variable*
v:false
Special value used to put "false" in JSON and msgpack. See
|json_encode()|. This value is converted to "v:false" when used
as a String (e.g. in |expr5| with string concatenation
operator) and to zero when used as a Number (e.g. in |expr5|
or |expr7| when used with numeric operators). Read-only.
*v:fcs_choice* *fcs_choice-variable*
v:fcs_choice
What should happen after a |FileChangedShell| event was
triggered. Can be used in an autocommand to tell Vim what to
do with the affected buffer:
reload Reload the buffer (does not work if
the file was deleted).
edit Reload the buffer and detect the
values for options such as
'fileformat', 'fileencoding', 'binary'
(does not work if the file was
deleted).
ask Ask the user what to do, as if there
was no autocommand. Except that when
only the timestamp changed nothing
will happen.
<empty> Nothing, the autocommand should do
everything that needs to be done.
The default is empty. If another (invalid) value is used then
Vim behaves like it is empty, there is no warning message.
*v:fcs_reason* *fcs_reason-variable*
v:fcs_reason
The reason why the |FileChangedShell| event was triggered.
Can be used in an autocommand to decide what to do and/or what
to set v:fcs_choice to. Possible values:
deleted file no longer exists
conflict file contents, mode or timestamp was
changed and buffer is modified
changed file contents has changed
mode mode of file changed
time only file timestamp changed
*v:fname* *fname-variable*
v:fname
When evaluating 'includeexpr': the file name that was
detected. Empty otherwise.
*v:fname_diff* *fname_diff-variable*
v:fname_diff
The name of the diff (patch) file. Only valid while
evaluating 'patchexpr'.
*v:fname_in* *fname_in-variable*
v:fname_in
The name of the input file. Valid while evaluating:
option used for ~
'charconvert' file to be converted
'diffexpr' original file
'patchexpr' original file
And set to the swap file name for |SwapExists|.
*v:fname_new* *fname_new-variable*
v:fname_new
The name of the new version of the file. Only valid while
evaluating 'diffexpr'.
*v:fname_out* *fname_out-variable*
v:fname_out
The name of the output file. Only valid while
evaluating:
option used for ~
'charconvert' resulting converted file [1]
'diffexpr' output of diff
'patchexpr' resulting patched file
[1] When doing conversion for a write command (e.g., ":w
file") it will be equal to v:fname_in. When doing conversion
for a read command (e.g., ":e file") it will be a temporary
file and different from v:fname_in.
*v:folddashes* *folddashes-variable*
v:folddashes
Used for 'foldtext': dashes representing foldlevel of a closed
fold.
Read-only in the |sandbox|. |fold-foldtext|

let &hlsearch = &hlsearch
<
Note that the value is restored when returning from a
function. |function-search-undo|.
*v:insertmode* *insertmode-variable*

2147483647 on all systems.
*v:mouse_col* *mouse_col-variable*
v:mouse_col
Column number for a mouse click obtained with |getchar()|.
This is the screen column number, like with |virtcol()|. The
value is zero when there was no mouse button click.
*v:mouse_lnum* *mouse_lnum-variable*
v:mouse_lnum
Line number for a mouse click obtained with |getchar()|.
This is the text line number, not the screen line number. The
value is zero when there was no mouse button click.
*v:mouse_win* *mouse_win-variable*

*v:msgpack_types* *msgpack_types-variable*
v:msgpack_types
Dictionary containing msgpack types used by |msgpackparse()|
and |msgpackdump()|. All types inside dictionary are fixed
(not editable) empty lists. To check whether some list is one
of msgpack types, use |is| operator.
*v:null* *null-variable*
v:null
Special value used to put "null" in JSON and NIL in msgpack.
See |json_encode()|. This value is converted to "v:null" when
used as a String (e.g. in |expr5| with string concatenation
operator) and to zero when used as a Number (e.g. in |expr5|
or |expr7| when used with numeric operators). Read-only.
In some places `v:null` can be used for a List, Dict, etc.
that is not set. That is slightly different than an empty
List, Dict, etc.
*v:numbermax* *numbermax-variable*
v:numbermax Maximum value of a number.
*v:numbermin* *numbermin-variable*
v:numbermin Minimum value of a number (negative).

systems it may be 32.
*v:oldfiles* *oldfiles-variable*
v:oldfiles
List of file names that is loaded from the |shada| file on
startup. These are the files that Vim remembers marks for.
The length of the List is limited by the ' argument of the
'shada' option (default is 100).
When the |shada| file is not used the List is empty.
Also see |:oldfiles| and |c_#<|.
The List can be modified, but this has no effect on what is
stored in the |shada| file later. If you use values other
than String this will cause trouble.
*v:operator* *operator-variable*
v:operator
The last operator given in Normal mode. This is a single
character except for commands starting with <g> or <z>,
in which case it is two characters. Best used alongside
|v:prevcount| and |v:register|. Useful if you want to cancel
Operator-pending mode and then use the operator, e.g.: >vim
:omap O <Esc>:call MyMotion(v:operator)<CR>
<
The value remains set until another operator is entered, thus
don't expect it to be empty.
v:operator is not set for |:delete|, |:yank| or other Ex
commands.
Read-only.
