how can I get all the abbreviations of vim's options?

Such as I can use

:set nu

as

:set number

Where can I get the whole list of this kind of mapping (number -> nu) ?

Or can I define new abbreviations?

What is Vim option?

vim is a text editor that is upwards compatible to Vi. There are a lot of enhancements above Vi: multi level undo, multiple windows and buffers, syntax highlighting, command line editing, file name completion, a complete help system, visual selection, and others.

List of options in Vim 8.0

Grepping lines matching ^\s*\*'\w\+'\* in options.txt from vim help, and removing words not surrounded with quotes provides the following list.

It has to be tweaked a bit because for conceallevel the help line is not like the others, for some options they span on two lines, etc so this list cannot, alas, be generated automatically.

You can reach the help section for any option with :help 'optionname'.

Note for all options allowing the prefix no (the boolean ones), the prefix inv is also allowed.

What follows is therefore a list of all authorized spellings of options in vim. Options on the same line are shortcut or negative form or shortcut of negative form of the first form.

Sorry, table misses formatting because of the answer length limit.
