habamax created an issue (vim/vim#21172)

Steps to reproduce

  1. gvim --clean
  2. set iskeyword

Expected behaviour

Output should match :h 'iskeyword':

'iskeyword' 'isk'	string (Vim default for Win32:
					    "@,48-57,_,128-167,224-235"
				   otherwise:  "@,48-57,_,192-255"

Output I get is:

iskeyword=@,48-57,_,192-255
Image: Image (view on web)

Version of Vim

Thanks, I'll update the documentation. Wondering when this changed though.

Commit f883d90

The default option value hasn't changed
https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/5ab969f719bb09555e90e8dff8c94fc37bcbf2ae/src/optiondefs.h#L1527-L1536

but it gets overridden now because of the default 'encoding'value having changed to "utf-8"
https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/5ab969f719bb09555e90e8dff8c94fc37bcbf2ae/src/option.c#L633-L651
