Local and global-local options can be set by means of three closely
related commands:
- ":setlocal" sets only the local value (for the current buffer or
window, depending on the option);
- ":setglobal" sets only the global default (which will usually be used
when creating a new buffer or window);
- ":set" sets both.
Modelines set only the local value (as with ":setlocal")
In the ":let" command before the = sign, &l:option, &g:option or &option
set the local value, the global value, or both (in an expression,
&option "reads" the local value).
For global settings, which have only one value, all three commands are
equivalent (and modelines set the global value in that case, but it is
"unusual in the extreme" to set a global setting with a modeline).
Best regards,
Tony.
