description

This plugin lets you use filetype-dependent templates for new files, using a simple but effective mechanism. It is, in various ways, a more sophisticated approach to the same problem that vimscript #1160 addresses, but doesn't try to do quite as much. When you start a fresh buffer, setting a filetype on it will load the corresponding template. E.g. open Vim and issue     :setf html You should find a skeleton HTML file, ready to fill in. One new command has been added for convenience: it is called :New and takes exactly one argument. It will open a new empty window and set the filetype for it to the argument given. A handful of templates are included, but the real purpose of the plugin is to allow you to easily create your own.
