Hello vimmers,
I'd like to load some settings when I enter in a directory, like for
instance setting makeprg.
Is there a way to do it?
Thanks in advance from a lurker! :)
'makeprg' is a global-local option. Maybe the other ones you want to set
are also buffer-local or global-local. Then you can set them by means of
":setlocal" at the BufRead,BufNewFile events. You can also set up
buffer-local mappings and abbreviations by means of ":map <buffer>" and
":abbrev <buffer>". Set them at the same events. For window-local
options I suppose you should use the BufWinEnter event (still with
"setlocal"). Whether you do it by means of a script, a function, or
straight on the ":autocmd" line, is IMHO purely a matter of taste.
I hope you won't feel the need to set global-only options like 'guifont'
-- for these ones you would need the BufEnter event, meaning they would
change whenever you switched buffers by switching windows through (e.g.)
^Ww and the result could be ugly -- in that case you might want to
reassess your priorities and possibly dedicate a separate instance of
gvim to each distinct setting of such global-only options.
Best regards,
Tony.
