Thanks for the suggestion. I tried adding:
filetype indent plugin on and still got the same results. I started vim without the .vimrc and the error was gone, so I then tried commenting different lines out in .vimrc. When I commented out the syntax and filetype indent plugin commands, it works fine. No error, and all the features requested in .vimrc work. Here's the odd part; syntax highlighting still works! I see that vim has many individual syntax files. Could it be that that the regular vimrc applies the proper syntax highlighting based on file name extension if a color scheme is selected? There is code in that file that looks to me like it might do that; but again, I don't know what I'm reading. -- View this message in context: http://vim.1045645.n5.nabble.com/filetype-unknown-on-startup-tp5655326p5655446.html Sent from the Vim - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
