lfrc file format

[fritzrehde]

I would like to enable syntax highlighting in vim for the lf config file (lfrc). Vim cannot find the file type automatically, so I have to set it manually. What file type is it?

@fritzrehde It's a custom format and there are no vim syntax available for it that I'm aware of. Setting ft=conf helps to highlight comments and string quotes which is good enough for most purposes. In fact, vim already sets this automatically for files with some comments in the first 5 lines on my system. One additional trick is to set fdm=marker and fmr={{,}} to fold multiline commands.

There is camnw/lf-vim.

@grimnight I had no idea about it, thanks. It seems great. Maybe we should add it somewhere in the wiki pages.
