*'ruler'* *'ru'* *'noruler'* *'noru'*
'ruler' 'ru' boolean (default off)

Show the line and column number of the cursor position, separated by a
comma. When there is room, the relative position of the displayed
text in the file is shown on the far right:
Top first line is visible
Bot last line is visible
All first and last line are visible
45% relative position in the file
If 'rulerformat' is set, it will determine the contents of the ruler.
Each window has its own ruler. If a window has a status line, the
ruler is shown there. Otherwise it is shown in the last line of the
screen. If the statusline is given by 'statusline' (ie. not empty),
this option takes precedence over 'ruler' and 'rulerformat'
If the number of characters displayed is different from the number of
bytes in the text (e.g., for a TAB or a multi-byte character), both
the text column (byte number) and the screen column are shown,
separated with a dash.
For an empty line "0-1" is shown.
For an empty buffer the line number will also be zero: "0,0-1".
Straight out of the vim help file, in Debian this option is set
in /etc/vim/vimrc, but this may be different in other distros.
To find out what scripts vim sources use :scriptnames. Sorry to
be such a vim zealot, but it seems to get a lot of bad press.
