This seems handy.  Maybe it could be improved
a bit with the keyboard shortcuts prefixed, like so:

(postgres@[local]:5494) [postgres] > \pset
\a  Output format is aligned.
\x  Expanded display is used automatically.
\f  Field separator is "|".
\t  Tuples only is off.
\C  Title is unset.
\T  Table attributes unset.   Border style is 2.   Line style is unicode.   Null display is "NULL".   Pager is used for
longoutput.   Record separator is <newline>.
 


So that it also serves a reminder on how to subsequently
change them
