sometimes i need to make modifications to the syntax file but in order
for changes to take effect i need to restart vim. is it possible for
changes to take effect without a restart? does anybody know how to do
it?
any help is appreciated
Should be quite simple:
Either reload the file
:e
or explicitly set the syntax (given your filetype is named "gobo")
:set syn=gobo
Doesn't that work? Or do it even "more manually":
:syn clear
:source {somepath}/syntax/gobo.vim
The latter requires that all syntax definitions are in one file.
If you're editing {somepath}/after/syntax/gobo.vim then at least two
files need to be sourced (the original and the "after" syntax file):
:syn clear
:runtime! syntax/gobo.vim
Hint: The :runtime command doesn't complain if it can't find any files.
Try :verb runtime! syntax/gobo.vim to get a message in that case.
In the help:
:h 'syn
:h :syn-clear
:h after
