I installed vim version 7.4.1689 in my linux mint 18. I opened any file with vim but after switching between modes on the status bar it is not showing anything like which mode I am currently in. I searched everywhere for the solution found one but it did not worked. The solution given was to use the command:
:set showmode
in /.vimrc
file, I did that but nothing happened, can somebody please help me to solve this issue.
:scriptnames
and:set showmode?
?:scriptnames
and:set showmode?
. They should list the names of the scripts which have been sources and the current state of theshowmode
option. What do those commands return?
