Lost in formatoptions …

Hi,

trying to use vim for writing long prose and I am playing with
the optimal value for formatoptions. Currently I have

set formatoptions=1tcroqlav

but I think I have something wrong. Somehow 'a' is too active
to me and I am in the situation that I cannot split a paragraph
in the middle. When I enter one CR, the line splits, but when
I press ENTER again, nothing happens. I have to set paste, make
change, set nopaste and reformat, which is obviously wrong.

What do I do wrong?

Best,

Matěj

As a rule of thumb, the more qualifiers there are before the name
of a country, the more corrupt the rulers. A country called The
Socialist People's Democratic Republic of X is probably the last
place in the world you'd want to live.
