Open a Lua .love file in Vim

love2d, lua, vim, zip

Solution

According to the zip.vim plugin docs:

Apparently there are a number of archivers who generate zip files that don't use the .zip extension (.jar, .xpi, etc). To handle such files, place a line in your <.vimrc> file:

`au BufReadCmd *.jar,*.xpi call zip#Browse(expand("<amatch>"))`

Therefore, add this to your vimrc:

au BufReadCmd *.love call zip#Browse(expand("<amatch>"))

Problem

So today I learned that Vim opens zip files for viewing and modification in an interface very similar to the directory browser. Is there a way to open .love files accordingly? I tried setting the filetype: `vim red-pill.love -c "set filetype=zip"` ...but no luck. It opens as a binary file.
