To avoid the "Hit ENTER to continue" prompt, use the 'shortmess'
option. Add the following line to your .vimrc file:
set shortmess=a
Also, you can increase the height of the command line to 2
set cmdheight=2
The default command height is 1.
To get more help on these options, use
:help hit-enter
:help shortmess
:help cmdheight
<< Displaying status line always |
Erasing previosuly entered characters in insert mode >>

| The "Hit ENTER to continue" commands that I find most annoying are actually disabled by setting shortmess="oO" rather than "a". shortmess is set to "filnxtToO" by default, so these messages should not appear by default anyhow.
