Yes, loading syntax files could e.g. change the 'isk' setting so syntax highlighting works better, but this might have other side effects. So in fact setting syntax (and therefore loading a special syntax file) might in fact change the behaviour of Vim. Actually I think the syntax option is a bad example here, since :set syntax? might not always give the exact syntax setting that is used. regards, Christian -- -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
