*user_ftplugin.txt* "Undo" for local ftplugin files Author: Tom Ryder License: Same terms as Vim itself (see |license|) This plugin adds an |autocmd| hook to |FileType| to run before the one that the core ftplugin.vim sets, to allow setting a b:undo_user_ftplugin variable with code to |:execute| when the filetype is next changed, in much the same way that the core files in Vim >= 7.0x support a b:|undo_ftplugin| variable. This will only work if it's loaded before ftplugin.vim so that the autocmd hooks run in the right order. There are a couple of ways to do this: 1. Create your own ~/.vim/ftplugin.vim with the following contents: silent! runtime plugin/user_ftplugin.vim This will then be sourced before the core ftplugin.vim runs. This is the suggested method. 2. Run the same line in your ~/.vimrc before your `filetype ftplugin on` line. See also: user_indent.vim. This plugin lives in Tom Ryder's "dotfiles" suite, and will eventually be spun off into a separate distribution as it solidifies and this documentation improves.
