Problem: Option handling for key:value suboptions is limited
Solution: Improve :set+=, :set-= and :set^= for options that use
"key:value" pairs (Hirohito Higashi)
For comma-separated options with P_COLON (e.g., diffopt, listchars,
fillchars), :set += -= ^= now processes each comma-separated item
individually instead of treating the whole value as a single string.
For :set += and :set ^=:
- A "key:value" item where the key already exists with a different value:
the old item is replaced.
- An exact duplicate item is left unchanged.
- A new item is appended (+=) or prepended (^=).
For :set -=:
- A "key:value" or "key:" item removes by key match regardless of value.
- A non-colon item removes by exact match.
This also handles multiple non-colon items (e.g., :set
diffopt-=filler,internal) by processing each item individually, making
the behavior order-independent.
Previously, :set += simply appended the value, causing duplicate keys to
accumulate.

Install from package
Pre-built packages for Windows, macOS, and Linux are found on the Releases page.
Managed packages are in Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux, Void Linux, Gentoo, and more!
Install from source
See BUILD.md and supported platforms for details.
The build is CMake-based, but a Makefile is provided as a convenience. After installing the dependencies, run the following command.
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
sudo make install
To install to a non-default location:
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/full/path/
make install
CMake hints for inspecting the build:
cmake --build build --target helplists all build targets.build/CMakeCache.txt(orcmake -LAH build/) contains the resolved values of all CMake variables.build/compile_commands.jsonshows the full compiler invocations for each translation unit.
Transitioning from Vim
