Dear Vim community,

I found two typos in the documentation.

:help cmdline-history
> Use the 'history' option to set the number of lines that are remembered
> (default: 50).

The default was changed from 50 to 200 (Patch 9.1.0895) but the docs were not
updated.

:help skeleton

There are mentions of using the normal-mode command `ks` to make a mark "s". The
"k" should be an "m".

Best wishes,

Thanks for noticing. I updated it and pushed it with commit:
0fa3603d6d9cec774f3060a33c5977

That is correct. It uses the ex command :k (see :h :k) and not the
normal mode command m.

Thanks,
Christian
