@@ -292,6 +292,12 @@ Nvim does not have special `t_XX` options nor <t_XX> keycodes to configure
terminal capabilities. Instead Nvim treats the terminal as any other UI. For
example, 'guicursor' sets the terminal cursor style if possible.
*'term'* *E529* *E530* *E531*
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
