I would like to use vim/gvim to automatically highlight my code file for example .svh/.sv/.txt file and here is my setting picture:

set file of .vimrc

and i source it. But it always failed to automatically highlight the code file.

It looks as if Vim does not support verilog files out of the box. You will need to install a plugin (or write one yourself) to make it work.

A quick search found the verilog systemverilog plugin. You might give it a try. I have no experience with it but it seems to be actively maintained.

The plugin will work for *.v,*.vh,*.vp,*.sv,*.svi,*.svh,*.svp,*.sva files. I would not recommend to also use it for *.txt files as this will affect all plain text files.

  • it did not work. just shows error detected while processing vim +PlugInstall +qall – Matthew MA May 04 '23 at 07:18
  • Did you install a plugin manager ([vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug) or [Vundle](https://github.com/gmarik/vundle)) first? – Friedrich May 04 '23 at 07:33
  • yes I first add plugin in the vimrc and then commend this line. I think from a server I can not plugin cause I do not have any access. – Matthew MA May 04 '23 at 10:35
  • Plug 'vhda/verilog_systemverilog.vim' I add this in vimrc and then run this code vim +PlugInstall +qall – Matthew MA May 04 '23 at 10:37
  • If you chose to do it without a plugin manager, you don't need to run `PlugInstall`. This would make the manager install the plugins. You don't have a manger and you cannot install. Don't call it! Just make sure you have all the files in the right places. This is on your machine, I won't be able to help you there. – Friedrich May 04 '23 at 10:44
  • yes but my other colleagues can use vim to automatically highlight it. so there should be some ways without plugin – Matthew MA May 04 '23 at 11:41
  • Then my answer obviously will not help you. I would suggest you ask your colleagues how they made it work. Please post an answer once you figure something out that works for you. – Friedrich May 04 '23 at 11:48
  • they are busy I do not have a chance to ask.... – Matthew MA May 04 '23 at 13:34
  • Give me their number, I will call and ask them on your behalf :) – Friedrich May 04 '23 at 13:43
