| Vim syntax highlighting for Go (http://golang.org) |
| ================================================== |
| |
| To install automatic syntax highlighting for GO programs: |
| |
| 1. Copy or link the filetype detection script to the ftdetect directory |
| underneath your vim runtime directory (normally $HOME/.vim/ftdetect) |
| 2. Copy or link syntax/go.vim to the syntax directory underneath your vim |
| runtime directory (normally $HOME/.vim/syntax). Linking this file rather |
| than just copying it will ensure any changes are automatically reflected |
| in your syntax highlighting. |
| 3. Add the following line to your .vimrc file (normally $HOME/.vimrc): |
| |
| syntax on |
| |
| In a typical unix environment you might accomplish this using the following |
| commands: |
| |
| mkdir -p $HOME/.vim/ftdetect |
| mkdir -p $HOME/.vim/syntax |
| ln -s $GOROOT/misc/vim/ftdetect/gofiletype.vim $HOME/.vim/ftdetect/ |
| ln -s $GOROOT/misc/vim/syntax/go.vim $HOME/.vim/syntax |
| echo "syntax on" >> $HOME/.vimrc |
| |
