  • vim-polyglot

    A solid language pack for Vim.

  • I was editing qmake file which has extension .pro and VIM was able to highlight it but nvim failed to do so. I came across vim-polygot and thought to add the manual highlighting in nvim as well. According to nvim syntax doc one can add manual entries very easily, so I cloned the vim-polygot repo and made a symlink of syntax folder as ~/.config/nvim/syntax and I can set for whatever language I want which is not present in Treesitter.

  • Vim
