Hi,
~/.gvimrc (and ~/.vimrc) are only sourced on startup (':help vimrc' inside
':help startup' help section; and ':help gvimrc'). So yes none of them
will be source when you use the gf normal command. From the other side,
syntax settings are specific to a buffer. If you want to source some
commands (set some settings) for all the files which shares this
particular syntax type or file type you can place a vim script under
~/.vim/after/syntax/
or
~/.vim/after/filetype/
Read about the after directory: ':help after-directory'. The script has
to be named correctly though. You can inspect $VIMRUNTIME directory
(syntax and filetype subfolders of it).
