Re: [vile] toggle boolean settings

[Wayne Cuddy]

Tom,

I've been using this macro you wrote for me quite some time ago and just
noticed that when 'setv' applies the setting it seems to be applied
globally, not locally to the buffer. (set vs setl)

If I load 2 buffers. Call "ToggleList li" and then switch the window's
view to another buffer, listing is still applied (and turned off if I call
the macro again). This is not the behavior if I enable listing using
"setl".

Is there a way to make it operate locally?

Thanks,
Wayne
