When there is room, the relative position of the displayed text in the file is shown on the far right: Top first line is visible Bot last line is visible All first and last line are visible 45% relative position in the file If 'rulerformat' is set, it will determine the contents of the ruler. Each window has its own ruler. If a window has a status line, the ruler is shown there. Otherwise it is shown in the last line of the screen. If the statusline is given by 'statusline' (ie. not empty), this option takes precedence over 'ruler' and 'rulerformat' If the number of characters displayed is different from the number of bytes in the text (e.g., for a TAB or a multi-byte character), both the text column (byte number) and the screen column are shown, separated with a dash. For an empty line "0-1" is shown. For an empty buffer the line number will also be zero: "0,0-1". Straight out of the vim help file, in Debian this option is set in /etc/vim/vimrc, but this may be different in other distros. To find out what scripts vim sources use :scriptnames. Sorry to be such a vim zealot, but it seems to get a lot of bad press. -- Unix is a user friendly operating system. It just picks its friends more carefully than others.
