Adding new filetype to NERD Commenter
vim, vim-plugin
Solution
It is probably because the filetype `pde` does not exist in filetype.vim.
Basically you have to create you own filetype.vim in ~/.vim/ (which will be sourced before the system filetype.vim), or add to your .vimrc: ` " Arduino files au BufNewFile,BufRead *.pde setf pde`
(On the other hand, `gsp`does already exist in the default filetype.vim on line 763 ` " GNU Server Pages au BufNewFile,BufRead *.gsp setf gsp ` )
See `:help new-filetype` for more information on ways to implement a new file type.
Problem
I'm using NERD Commenter. I want to add a new filetype to it. In the latest version, the filetypes definitions start in line 69. I want to add delimiters for .pde (Arduino). Since .pde files follow the same style as C++, I'm just copying the C++ line (line 115) and changing the extension. It looks like this: ``` .... .... \ 'pde': { 'left': '//', 'leftAlt': '/*', 'rightAlt': '*/' }, .... .... ``` And that seems right. However, I cannot get it to work when I open a .pde file. Instead of using '//', it uses '#'. Am I missing something? Thanks! UPDATE: It seems I'm doing it write. Look at the commit for when they added commenting support for gsp. They are just doing the same as me. Hmmm....
