*'keywordprg'* *'kp'*
'keywordprg' 'kp' string (default "man" or "man -s", DOS: ":help",
- OS/2: "view /", VMS: "help")
+ VMS: "help")
global or local to buffer |global-local|
{not in Vi}
Program to use for the |K| command. Environment variables are
expanded |:set_env|. ":help" may be used to access the Vim internal
help. (Note that previously setting the global option to the empty
value did this, which is now deprecated.)
- When "man" is used, Vim will automatically translate a count for the
- "K" command to a section number. Also for "man -s", in which case the
- "-s" is removed when there is no count.
+ When the first character is ":", the command is invoked as a Vim
+ Ex command prefixed with [count].
+ When "man", "man -s" or an Ex command is used, Vim will automatically
+ translate a count for the "K" command and pass it as the first
+ argument. For "man -s" the "-s" is removed when there is no count.
See |option-backslash| about including spaces and backslashes.
Example: >
:set keywordprg=man\ -s
