Hello
Thanks Thilo.
I found the Generic configuration code in my C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim
\vim73\filetype.vim
Where in the file should the local configuration code (below) be
placed?
" txt
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead
\ *.txt,
\*README*
\ setl ft=text

Sorry i am not familar with the windows version of vim. So you should follow
Tonys hint. But i want to share cool little feature i just figured:
,----[ ft=text ]---------------------------
" txt
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead
\ *.txt,
\\c*README*
\ setl ft=text
`---------------------------------------------
The nice thing here is the additional '\c' which means 'ignore case'. At least i
didn't know until today that this can be used there, too. Nice.
On Windows, it could either be part of ~/vimfiles/filetype.vim, after
if exists("did_load_filetypes")
finish
endif
Personly i would leave this out as i sometimes deliberately overwrite defaults
So what? $VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim sets its filetypes by :setfiletype,
which does nothing if the filetype is already set. So you can override
them by setting the filetype in ~/vimfiles/filetype.vim (for Windows) or
~/.vim/filetype.vim (for Unix) which is sourced immediately before
$VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim. One possible reason not to use this (but to
use ftdetect/foobar.vim or after/filetype/vim instead) would be if
sometime you wanted to be sure _not_ to override defaults. You would
then use ":setfiletype foobar" (not ":set filetype=foobar") in
ftdetect/foobar.vim.
from '$VIMRUNTYME/filetype.vim'. I instead use:
,----[ ~/.vim/ftdetect/filetype.vim ]-------
" only spend time on this once
if exists("b:did_load_filetypes_user")
finish
endif
let b:did_load_filetypes_user = 1
`---------------------------------------------
Oh and yes you can have '~/.vim/ftdetect/text.vim', '~/.vim/ftdetect/foo.vim'
and '~/.vim/ftdetect/bar.vim' or just throw everything in
'~/.vim/ftdetect/filetype.vim' as i do. As long as the file ends with '.vim' it
should work.
Again i do not know where this directory is on windows, most probably somewhere
below '%appdata%'. 'set runtimepath?' should help here. Use the first directory
as starting point.
Within Vim it is seen as below $HOME/vimfiles/, as follows (for Windows):
:e $HOME
:!mkdir %/vimfiles
:e %/vimfiles
:!mkdir %/ftdetect
:e %/ftdetect/text.vim
or
:e $HOME
:!mkdir %/vimfiles
:e %/vimfiles/filetype.vim
You can omit the each !mkdir commands if the corresponding directory
already exists.
On Linux it's simpler because GNU mkdir has a -p switch:
:!mkdir -pv ~/.vim/ftdetect
:e ~/.vim/ftdetect/text.vim
or
:!mkdir -pv ~/.vim
:e ~/.vim/filetype.vim
I could have used the internal mkdir() function, except that it isn't
guaranteed to exist on all platforms.
About the external command name: Unix has cd, mkdir, rmdir. Dos/Windows
have them too, and also aliases chdir, md, rd, so their users often
prefer cd, md, rd. I make a point of using mkdir and rmdir because they
are more portable.
and possibly together with other user-defined filetype detection
autocommands (BTW do not set that did_load_filetypes variable, it is set
by $VIMRUNTYME/filetype.vim), or else it could be all of
~/vimfiles/ftdetect/text.vim (with paths shown as they could be used in
Vim but not in other Windows programs). Or you could replace ~/vimfiles/
by $VIM/vimfiles/ in either of these paths if you wanted these
customizations to apply to all users (all login names) on your computer.
See
:help new-filetype
See also
:help 'runtimepath'
about the different default paths on Windows ("PC") vs. Unix/Linux/OSX
("Unix").
Best regards,
Tony.
