Hi,
I've been adding new syntax files, and putting them in the correct location,
but i don't know if i am supposed to manually update the synmenu.vim file, or
does some other process do that, so that my new syntax files show up in the
menu.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
thanks,
Russ
IIUC, "Syntax → Show filetypes in menu" doesn't add menuitems with the
name of *syntax* plugins but of *filetype* plugins. If your new syntax
scripts don't appear, try adding zero-length files of the same names
(not overwriting existing scripts, of course) in ~/.vim/ftplugin/ (for
Unix-like) or in ~/vimfiles/ftplugin/ (for Windows).
You may have to restart Vim (I'm not sure) to have the new filetypes
inserted in the Syntax menu.
If *that* doesn't work, then don't modify $VIMRUNTIME/synmenu.vim (in
general, NEVER modify ANYTHING in the $VIMRUNTIME directory tree,
because any Vim update may silently remove your changes); rather, add
additional synmenu.vim files in ~/.vim/ (for Unix-like) or in ~/vimfiles
(for Windows). IIUC they will be sourced in addition to the default
scripts, because Vim installs them by doing ":runtime! synmenu.vim" (see
":help :runtime").
Best regards,
Tony.
