Support vimrc files without leading dot #5

Open davidde opened 3 years ago

This extension would be a lot more useful if it was capable of also recognizing vimrc and nvimrc without the leading dot.

Neither does it recognize the vim or rc file types, if the previous entries are added with the files.associations setting in settings.json:

"files.associations": {
    "vimrc": "vim",
    "nvimrc": "vim",
  },

Either of these would be a great addition.

The language id used is viml, not vim. Does it work if you fix your file associations that way? If not then this is a vscode issue as this is the one that "recognizes" and activates the matching extension. As I'm no VIM-expert: are those files common and listed in the VIM-docs?

Does not seem to work with viml either. .vimrc with leading dot is clearly more common, but I wouldn't say ~/.vim/vimrc is uncommon.

nvimrc probably is not required after all, since nvim uses ~/.config/nvim/init.vim by default, and can source anything required from there.
