Sorry if I hijack that thread with my question, but I see from the posts that
the
sh.vim is intended for use with Kornshell, and I'm also using it for that
purpose
for quite some time. (Although recently I often set the syntax for ksh sources
to
zsh because some things are highlighted as errors with sh.vim that are correctly
highlighted with zsh syntax active.)
I noticed with previous releases that Kornshell syntax isn't sensibly
highlighted
in several non-POSIX places; erroneous syntax is displayed. Examples are
${.../.../...} types of expansion
.sh.value types of variables
(( ... )) arithmetic expressions
$' ... ' ANSI-strings
My question is whether newer versions of sh.vim are supporting these things,
whether it's on the radar, or whether someone is even already working on fixes
in that area?
Another question is whether highlighting of in Shell embedded Awk source code
could be officially supported. Someone once provided me with an add-on (that I
had put is some user directory beneath ~/.vim/ ) but that wasn't working
correctly
in all respects and sadly that add-on also vanished with a system crash I had.
Thanks.
Janis

Thanks.
Simply rearranging the the "Identifier" and "Functions" sections doesn't appear
to generate any highlighting differences in the Kornshell test directory
either. However, I haven't investigated how thoroughly they're testing this
area yet so keeping it as a more localised fix, as you've done in
#2025<https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/2025>, probably makes sense. This
syntax file, as you know, is a bit fragile.
