Sorry to butt in here but this sounds like it might be a solution to a problem I'm having. I recently dropped a plugin pkg into ~/.vim.. and left it in its own directory. ~/.vim/xpt Under that is the doc directory ~/.vim/xpt/doc However in vim I do :helptags ~/.vim/xpt/doc But afterward even though the tags file has appeared in ~/.vim/xpt/doc vim knows nothing about the files in there. :h xpt <vim says it knows nothing about it> I even took one of the items out of ~/.vim/xpt/doc/tags (xpt-function.txt) and tried :h xpt-function.txt but still I'm told that vim knows nothing about it. Finally I extracted everything under ~/.vim/xpt/ and put it into ~/.vim. That is, I moved it all up one level. It makes something of a mess of the ~/.vim directory, like loose *.vim files laying around that are no longer identifiable as to what plugin they came with, but at least now vim knows about xpt. Just to keep things tidy and to be able to identify which files go with what plugin... I'd sooner keep plugins in there own named directory like with ~/.vim/xpt. Is it possible to tell vim to look for those kind of files in specific places as well as ~/.vim and $VIMRUNTIME? Or even better for vim to recurse ~/.vim for doc and other directories? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
