As you guessed, it looks like somehow the wrong filetype/syntax is being loaded. What is the output of the following, before and after reopening? :verbose set filetype? What command did you use to open the file? What command did you use to "reopen" the file? > > I tried to add > > au BufNewFile,BufReadPost *.f,*.for,*.fpp,*f95,*f90 setf fortran > > into .vimrc but it doesn't seem to work. :setfiletype is designed to NOT take any action if the filetype has already been set in a chain of autocmd events. As a workaround, try "setl filetype=fortran" instead of "setf fortran". But this is a workaround. You should figure out why Vim is detecting the wrong filetype, if this is actually the problem. > > I am currently running Debian Wheezy, VIM 7.3. > > Is it because Vim shipped in Wheezy is not up to date? > I don't know. What version of Vim ships with Wheezy? Paste the first few lines of output from the :version command in Vim, up to the "Huge/Big/Normal/Tiny version with/without GUI" line. But any version of 7.3 ought to work fine for what you're trying to do, so I doubt very much it's a version problem. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
