Yes, this is what I would call the "official" or "recommended" way to do
this sort of things:
First create an after-plugin for each filetype you're interested in. On
Windows, this will be ~/vimfiles/after/ftplugin/<filetype>.vim or on
Unix ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/<filetype>.vim (replacing, of course,
<filetype> by the filetype). Create the directories if they don't exist yet.
If you want to map your keys to functions, define (in those after-plugin
scripts) script-local functions, so functions in one script (for one
filetype) won't override those in another script (for another filetype):
function <SID>FooBarBaz()
" ...
endfunction
Then create your local mappings, calling the script-local functions:
map <buffer> <F5> :call <SID>FooBarBaz()<CR>
The string <SID> will be replaced by the script-identifier (maybe
<SNR>19_ or somesuch), so that Vim will know which script-local function
(from which script) to use when you invoke the mapping. <buffer> in the
mappings makes the mapping "buffer-local" so you can have F5 do one
thing when in, let's say, a Vim script, and a totally different thing
when in, let's say, a C program.
You can also, for instance, set options in those same after-plugins. Be
sure to use ":setlocal" rather than ":set".
Best regards,
Tony.
