Hi all,
I'm new to vim and this list so apologies if this has already been answered.
I have some settings for comments in my vimrc (see attached vimrc.txt).
These settings work fine when I launch vim.
I.e. for launching vim without specifying the file type I get the following
for comments:
comments=://,b:#,:%,:XCOMM,n:>,fb:-,s1:/*,mb:**,ex:*/,fb:*,b:",n::
However when I edit text files using vim (vim test.txt), the comments get
overridden with the following:
comments=s1:/*,mb:*,ex:*/,://,b:#,:%,:XCOMM,n:>,fb:-
And for C/C++ files, the comments get overridden with the following:
comments=sO:* -,mO:* ,exO:*/,s1:/*,mb:*,ex:*/,://
How can I prevent this?
I.e. I would like to keep my comments setting for all file types.
Is this possible?
I tried placing the comments setting at the bottom of the vimrc but that
doesn't override the file type settings either.
Any suggestions?
Thanks and Regards,
Abhishek
