Welcome to Vim Version 5.0!

This document lists the differences between Vim 4.x and Vim 5.0.
See |vi_diff.txt| for a short overview.
Although 5.0 is mentioned here, this is also for version 5.1, 5.2, etc..

Text formatting command "Q" changed		|Q-command-changed|


VERSION WARNING MESSAGE				*version* *version_warning*
=======================

If you got the message

	No ":version 5.0" command found in any .vimrc

when you started Vim, you should add this line to your vimrc:

	version 5.0					|:version|

(Vim doesn't make a difference between 5.0, 5.1, etc. yet.  In later versions
the version number in your .vimrc will be used to make upgrading easy).

But read the information below first!


Text formatting command "Q" changed			*Q-command-changed*
-----------------------------------

The "Q" command was formerly used to format lines to the width given with the
'textwidth' option.  This is now "gq" (see |gq| for more info).
The reason why this change had to be made was that "Q" is the standard vi
command to enter "Ex" mode, and Vim now does in fact have an "Ex" mode (see
|Q| for more info).
If you still want to use "Q" for formatting, use this mapping:

	:noremap Q gq
