Hi,
I am not getting how to add a new filetype to vim. I am on windows and I am
using vim73.
I want to add a new filetype with extention .pn. For this I had done
following:
I went to vim installation directory i.e. vim73 and I edited filetype.vim. I
added following line
au BufNewFile,BufRead *.pn setf potion
in between augroup filetypedetect and augroup END
Don't change anything in $VIMRUNTIME or below, any upgrade (next week or
10 years from now) may revert your changes without warning.
Then I opened my vim with a file with extension .pn.
I typed following command
:set filetype?
and got answer
filetype=
Am I doing any wrong?
Please help.
Thanks
Ansuman
What I recommend is to add a new filetype.vim in one of the following
places (shown as they would appear in Vim):
- Single-user on Windows
$HOME/vimfiles/filetype.vim
I actually prefer creating a file per filetype in $HOME/vimfiles/ftdetect, as
detailed at the beginning of :help new-filetype
ft detection is always confusing for me.
are there a complete flow chart of how vim detect FT so we can have an
overview of the whole picture/story?
