`q` does not quit

[fehmud]

Pressing q does not quit cppman as in man. Instead, the command :q!<CR> appears at the bottom of the screen. To quit, you must delete the <CR> part and press Enter. Tested with:

• cppman 0.4.5
• vim 7.4

Thanks for your attention.

[aitjcize]

actually means enter in vim. It worked on my vim 7.4 though. Can you show me your `vim --version` output?

I have no ~/.vimrc

[fehmud]

Maybe you could use ZQ instead of :q!<CR>?

[fehmud]

Or maybe you could use man as a pager, instead of vim? Is this even possible? Thanks.

[fehmud]

I was wrong! Apparently, man itself uses less as a pager.

[aitjcize]

There is an option for that. cppman -p to set pager, check cppman -h for more info. I honestly don't know why it doesn't work for your vim. You don't have any other binding in vim that uses ?

[fehmud]

There is an option for that. cppman -p to set pager, check cppman -h for more info.

That works. Thank you.

I don't know what could be different in my Vim configuration. I have no ~/.vimrc. There is a /etc/vim/vimrc that Vim might be reading, but it doesn't do anything.

Closing this since no update and can't repo.
