On sourceforge, there are two plugins (both named local_vimrc) that load
vimrc-like files which are specific to hierarchies of directories -- I'm
maintaining one of them.
This solution is a little bit less coupled than the second one Tony gave you.
Understand that you can rename your project directories, copy/share definitions
between several projects, ...
However, the definitions are not specific to a particular filetype. I.e. in
order to have your new syntax highlightings only in C++ files, but not in
Makefiles, you will have to guard the definitions according to the filetype of
the current buffer.
Regarding the syntax resets and colorscheme changes, it should be possible to
define to local vimrc like this (not tested):
" ------------------ >% -----------------
" File: $HOME/projects/foo/_vimrc_local.vim
"
" Global definitions, loaded every time
.... global variables, some resets, ...
" Buffer definitions, loaded once per buffer
if exists('b:loaded_project_foo_local_vimrc') | finish | endif
let b:loaded_project_foo_local_vimrc = 1
... buffer- -local_variables, -mappings, -abbreviations, -commands
" Global definitions, loaded once
if exists('g:loaded_project_foo_local_vimrc') | finish | endif
let g:loaded_project_foo_local_vimrc = 1
augroup FooSyntax
au!
au ColorScheme * call s:ResetSyntax() " not sure about this one
au Syntax * call s:ResetSyntax()
augroup END
function! s:ResetSyntax()
if &ft =~ 'cpp\|^c$'
syn ....
hl ....
endif
endfunction
... other functions defintions
" ------------------ >% -----------------
NB: the lastest version of the local_vimrc plugin I'm maintaining can be found
there:
http://hermitte.free.fr/vim/ressources/vimfiles/plugin/local_vimrc.vim
The plugin Project can also help you solve your problem.
