| The ftplugin directory is for Vim plugin scripts that are only used for a | |
| specific filetype. | |
| All files ending in .vim in this directory and subdirectories will be sourced | |
| by Vim when it detects the filetype that matches the name of the file or | |
| subdirectory. | |
| For example, these are all loaded for the "c" filetype: | |
| c.vim | |
| c_extra.vim | |
| c/settings.vim | |
| Note that the "_" in "c_extra.vim" is required to separate the filetype name | |
| from the following arbitrary name. | |
| The filetype plugins are only loaded when the ":filetype plugin" command has | |
| been used. | |
| The default filetype plugin files contain settings that 95% of the users will | |
| want to use. They do not contain personal preferences, like the value of | |
| 'shiftwidth'. | |
| If you want to do additional settings, or overrule the default filetype | |
| plugin, you can create your own plugin file. See ":help ftplugin" in Vim. | |
