:se[t] {option}:{value}
Set string or number option to {value}.
For numeric options the value can be given in decimal,
- hex (preceded with 0x) or octal (preceded with '0')
- (hex and octal are only available for machines which
- have the strtol() function).
+ hex (preceded with 0x) or octal (preceded with '0').
The old value can be inserted by typing 'wildchar' (by
default this is a <Tab> or CTRL-E if 'compatible' is
set). See |cmdline-completion|.
