Display Vim intermediate commands

Question

In vimtutor Lesson 2.1: DELETION COMMANDS, there is a note after the #4 item:

The letter d will appear on the last line of the screen as you type it. Vim is waiting for you to type w. If you see another character than d you typed something wrong; press <ESC> and start over.

However, I do not see intermediate commands in the last line as the note says. How do I enable this? What option should I set in my .vimrc?

Answer 1

You can use

:set showcmd

That will display the commands as you type it in Vim. The same can also be put into .vimrc
