thyssentishman / vis-filetype-settings

A plugin for the vis editor that lets the user set options depending on filetype.

vis-filetype-settings

This plugin provides a declarative interface for setting vis options depending on filetype.

It expects a global variable called settings to be defined:

settings = {
    markdown = {"set expandtab on", "set tabwidth 4"}
}

In this variable, filetypes are mapped to sets of settings that are to be executed when a window containing the specified filetype is opened.

If you want to do more than setting simple options, you can specify a function instead:

settings = {
    bash = function(win)
        -- do things for shell scripts
    end
}

Be sure not to run commands that open another window with the same filetype, leading to an infinite loop.

Installation

As a suggestion, copy vis-filetype-settings.lua into ~/.config/vis/plugins/ and add the following to your visrc.lua:

require("plugins/vis-filetype-settings")

settings = {
    filetype = settings
}
