@Marcin and @Gary, thanks for the brilliant suggestions of resetting the
options and the auto commands. Here's what I ended up with:
if !exists("*ReloadVimrc")
function! ReloadVimrc()
au!
set all&
so $HOME/.vimrc
endfunction
endif
I tried "au BufWritePost .vimrc call ReloadVimrc()", but vim ends up doing
something recursive and progressively gives me more errors every time I save
(BufWrite isn't supposed to be recursive, not sure what's happening).
"au!" removes all autocommands, although I should definitely start putting mine
in groups. "set all&" resets all global and local variables to their default
values (calling set on anything changes both the local and global, interesting
info at ":h local-options" and a cool table a scroll away from ":h setg").
Sorry it took me so long to respond. I kept getting a black-and-white every
time I called the function. Apparently calling :source on the vimrc didn't
change all the options back (used :set before and after calling this function
to see changes between non-default options), this included filetype=vim. I
hardcoded this into the function, hopefully I can find a better fix later.
I usually don't like long posts, so sorry about this one. Thanks again for all
the suggestions and cool tips. If you think of anything to improve on this,
please let me know. Every little bit helps. Thanks!
