From the documentation itself:
:[range]o[pen] Works like |:visual|: end Ex mode.
{Vi: start editing in open mode}
...
Vim does not support open mode, since it's not really useful. For
those situations where ":open" would start open mode Vim will leave Ex
mode, which allows executing the same commands, but updates the whole
screen instead of only one line.
Part of the reason behind this is to make removing vi_diff.txt easier,
although it's also because :open is not too useful.

- CPO_ALL and CPO_VI are identical, so merge them
- No longer check for the environment variable 'VIM_POSIX'
- In vim_diff.txt, mention the removal of 'cpoptions' flags
These options were never implemented in Vim. They are documented under
|missing-options| in runtime/doc/vi_diff.txt:
'autoprint'
'beautify'
'flash'
'graphic'
'hardtabs'
'mesg'
'novice'
'open'
'optimize'
'redraw'
'slowopen'
'sourceany'
'w300'
'w1200'
'w9600'
References #2548.
Regarding |script-here|: despite being a language agnostic piece of
advice, it was in `if_perl.txt`. Regardless, we now only have one
support for one legacy plugin interface, so put it in `if_pyth.txt`
This removes the ability to start nvim via the following aliases in
favor of just using their command line arguments:
ex vim -e
exim vim -E
view vim -R
gvim vim -g
gex vim -eg
gview vim -Rg
rvim vim -Z
rview vim -RZ
rgvim vim -gZ
rgview vim -RgZ
This also removes Vi mode (-v) for consistency. From ':help -v':
-v Start Ex in Vi mode. Only makes a difference when the
executable is called "ex" or "gvim". For gvim the GUI is not
started if possible.
Notes regarding the removal of specific items:
- Aztec C: only on the Amiga.
- mch_check_win(): doesn't exist anymore.
- Comment in ex_cmds.c: It seems the context for this comment was
removed, but the comment was inadvertantly left alone.
Closes https://github.com/neovim/docs/pull/26
Also added stubs for 'cryptmethod' and 'key', and placeholders for
explanation regarding removal of crypto functionality.
