/limit

/relimit

/unlimit

Usage:

/LIMIT [-v] [-a] [-mstyle] [pattern]
/RELIMIT
/UNLIMIT


/Limit redraws the window, showing only lines that match pattern. It is then possible to scroll forward and backward within the "limited" window. The limit affects only the current screen, and stays in effect until /unlimit is called.

/Limit options:

-v
show only lines that don't match pattern
-a
show only lines that have attributes
-mstyle
use matching style (simple, glob, or regexp), instead of the default %{matching}.

If pattern is given, only lines in the given range that match pattern will be recalled. The matching style is determined by the -m option if given, %{matching} otherwise. By default, the @more status field does not count lines that are omitted by /limit.

With no options or arguments, /limit returns 1 if a limit is in effect, 0 if not.

/unlimit disables the /limit so all lines are displayed. The bottommost line in the window stays put, and other lines are inserted as needed above it. Thus, you can use /limit to find a line you are interested in, use the scrolling keys to position that line at the bottom of the window, then /unlimit to see the context of that line.

/relimit repeats the last /limit.

The default keybinding ^[L toggles the last limit off and on.
