Vimscript : What is the difference between let g: , let b: , etc.?
VimVim Problem Overview
I often see in vim plugin something like these :
let g:variable
let b:variable
let l:variable
I made a long research on the vim documentation and on the Internet about these letters 'g', 'b', 'l', but I found noting.
So what is these letters corresponding to ? And what is the complete list of letters ?
