Hi,
I am trying to modify the fs.vim syntax file to support separate syntax
groups for types and functions.
The syntax for a simple type declaration is this: type [A-Za-z0-9]\+[ \t]*=
The problem I am having is that "type" is a keyword that is already
highlighted as such, which overrides the syn matches I have tried writing.
How do I approach this correctly?
Since you're already editing the distributed syntax file (something
generally frowned upon), you may as well just remove the keyword match
and make it a 'match' instead. Keywords always take precedence over
matches and regions no matter what order they are defined in.
Instead of editing the distributed syntax file in-place, leave it alone
-- and
* make a copy in ~/.vim/syntax
* edit that copy
That way the next update to vim doesn't wipe your work out, and your
version takes precedence and thus blocks the distributed copy from
taking effect.
Regards,
Chip Campbell
