*alternate_filetypes.txt* For Vim version 7.0 Last change: 2019 Jul 23
DESCRIPTION *alternate_filetypes*
This plugin allows switching the current buffer through a set of related
filetypes, e.g. HTML while editing PHP, or AWK/sed while editing shell script.
REQUIREMENTS *alternate_filetypes-requirements*
This plugin only loads if 'compatible' is not set.
COMMANDS *alternate_filetypes-commands*
*:AlternateFileType*
The `:AlternateFileType` command switches to the next alternate filetype, if
one is available, and then displays the active filetype after the attempted
change.
MAPPINGS *alternate_filetypes-mappings*
*<Plug>AlternateFileType*
The `<Plug>AlternateFileType` normal mode map target simply executes the
`:AlternateFileType` command.
VARIABLES *alternate_filetypes-variables*
*b:alternate_filetypes*
Per-buffer |List| of filetypes through which the `:AlternateFileType` command
should iterate. Setting these in |ftplugin| scripts is likely the best idea.
For example, for shell script, one could add in `after/ftplugin/sh.vim`:
>
let b:alternate_filetypes = ['sh', 'awk', 'sed']
If this list does not exist, or is empty, or contains only one filetype, then
the `:AlternateFileType` command will do nothing.
