Yet another idea. I'm using many mappinngs like this to not change workinng
directory
(it seems to me that you want too keep that because of using ./), but
inserting the path to file automatically.
cmap fd c-r=expand('%:p:h').'/'cr
(Type fd at commandline to insert the path of the file beeing edited.)
really useful is this mapping, too. After inserting this you don't have to
bother about the path at all if there aren't too many subdirectories/files
cmap m-* **/*

(2)
When pasting, arrange spaces and separators automagically:
Exemple:
('[x]' means the cursor is over char 'x', the brackets are not part of the text)
red, [b]lue, green
dW
red, [g]reen
$
red, gree[n]
p
red, green, blu[e]
(3)
A mode (to be used by /usr/bin/view) with less-like interface.
I currently use :so=999 for easier scrolling.
(4)
About that generic syntax highlighting that uses just # for comments,
and ' for strings:
Don't hightlight the # unless on the first column, and don't
hightlight strings at all.

:h autochdir
And if you don't like how 'autochdir' works, here's a set of mappings
you may want to consider:
nnoremap Leaderc :cd %:p:hCR:pwdCR
nnoremap LeaderC :lcd %:p:hCR:pwdCR
nnoremap Leadere :e C-R=expand('%:p:h')CR/C-Z
nnoremap LeaderE :e C-Z

No prefix on a text filename means the current dir, also in sh and COMMAND.COM
(principle of least surprise). But you can have the current dir be always the
dir of the current file, as follows:
- Method I: :set autochdir
- Method II::autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile,BufFilePost *
\ lcd %:p:h

This works for comma-separated options and for Lists. For strings with any
separator it would be possible to write a function in vimscript and assign it
to a mapping. (You may want to tackle it as an exercise.)

I think there's a script somewhere which transforms Vim into a less-like
pager. Also a manpage reader frontend. Have you searched vim-online now that
its scripts section has come back?

With strings highlighting, I know if I forget to close a string by mistake.
But this is the best first example to use for writing your own syntax
script: simple enough to give even a beginner a good chance of success, and
you formulated it so you'll be motivated. Go ahead.
