Question

I'm doing some plugin programming for cinema 4d in python and decided to man up and start using a real code editor, VIM. followed the instructions on this page:

my question is what changes do i have to make to the .vimrc file to get vim to recognize cinema 4d python files, they have a .pyp suffix. I'm sure this is an easy fix, but i'm just starting out on vim and would sure appreciate a leg up here.

Answer 1

Use autocmd to set the filetype when opening an existing or starting a new file. I think this should do it:

autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.pyp set filetype=python

See :help autocmd for the full details of how this works.
