I am learning vim through vimtutor, in the lesson2.1, it said:

  NOTE: 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, after I type "d", there is nothing showed at the bottom of my screen. Here is a screen shot of my vim after I type "d". I did not change anything after I install vim. I also tried in the vim app instead of terminal. I still canont see anything after I typed "d". Do I have any misunderstanding here?My system is OS X 10.9.5,vim is 7.4.258. enter image description here

In vimtutor type:

:set showcmd

By default vimtutor runs as plain vim, without any extra settings. To have this behaviour in vim by default, you can add 

set showcmd

line to your .vimrc file.

  • In case if you did not find a .vimrc you have to create it and add 'set showcmd'. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10921441/where-is-my-vimrc-file – Gayal Kuruppu Jun 02 '20 at 07:01
