How to ask vim to tell where a setting originated e.g. "Last set from ~/.vim/ftplugin/go.vim line 1"
Ever wonder which plugin or config in vim is responsible for setting something like tabs to represent as four spaces? (e.g. ts=4
)
Wonder no more! vim will tell you! The magic is the verbose
keyword in the setting query
:verbose set ts?
tabstop=2
Last set from ~/.vimrc line 86:
:verbose set ts?
tabstop=2
Last set from ~/.vim/ftplugin/go.vim line 1
