Re: unexpected value from mode(1) command

вс, 26 мая 2024 г., 19:25 Mike <mssr953@gmail.com>:

Hello.

If, in normal mode, I type a colon followed by the command "echo
mode(1)", the value "n" is displayed in the command-line area indicating
normal mode.  I would have expected something beginning with "c" which
would be consistent with what ":help cmdline-mode" states.

Could someone explain why the observed behavior should have been expected?

Thanks in advance for the education!

Vim stays in Command-line mode as long as user _is editing_ the command line. After enter key has been pressed Vim gets back into the Normal mode, as explained at `:help mode-switching` topic.

Kind regards,
