I have no access to the $VIMRUNTIME directory,only the root can, I am just a user.

Is there a way in the .vimrc to link the extension xyz to the color syntax file xyz.vim without putting it in the $VIMRUNTIME ?

Thanks

the solution pointed out does not work on my hand when i put my xyz.vim (hand-made) in the directory .vim/ftdetect/ and then 

au BufRead,BufNewFile *.xyz set filetype=xyz  
au BufRead,BufNewFile *.xyz setfiletype xyz

the syntax color are not loaded. but If I try 

 au BufRead,BufNewFile *.xyz set filetype=c  
 au BufRead,BufNewFile *.xyz setfiletype c

The C color syntax is loaded. On my case I want to loaded my hand-made colors contained in xyz.vim

  • The solution you pointed does not work on my side :( – heyhey Aug 23 '18 at 14:01
  • Could you show us what you have in that `xyz.vim` file? – romainl Aug 23 '18 at 15:25
