lastline=trunc?

[zachwhaley]

number?

[bounceme]

au CmdWinEnter [:>] syntax sync maxlines=1 minlines=1 . minlines might be worth considering also. it causes the syntax to start parsing from N lines back, regardless of maxlines, if i understand right.

Are there any concerns over "return to last position when opening file?" I'd like to see this as a default personally.

A few more suggestions:

• set nojoinspaces, the rationale was in the previous issue. Although vim-sensible has some arguments against.
• set lazyredraw? but apparently it doesn't work well in neovim and was reverted in vim-sensible for that reason?

I think map Q gq makes sense, to match vim8 defaults. (Personally, I use nnoremap Q gqip & vnoremap Q gq.)

<C-U> mapping was also adopted in defaults.vim.
