Re: Re: Updating Syntax menu

In this case, i had a syntax file and a ftdetect file. (For multimarkdown.) I put the syntax and ftdetect files in the correct location. the file type is found, but the syntax menu does not update.

IIUC, "Syntax → Show filetypes in menu" doesn't add menuitems with the
name of *syntax* plugins but of *filetype* plugins. If your new syntax
scripts don't appear, try adding zero-length files of the same names
(not overwriting existing scripts, of course) in ~/.vim/ftplugin/ (for
Unix-like) or in ~/vimfiles/ftplugin/ (for Windows).

You may have to restart Vim (I'm not sure) to have the new filetypes
inserted in the Syntax menu.

If *that* doesn't work, then don't modify $VIMRUNTIME/synmenu.vim (in
general, NEVER modify ANYTHING in the $VIMRUNTIME directory tree,
because any Vim update may silently remove your changes); rather, add
additional synmenu.vim files in ~/.vim/ (for Unix-like) or in ~/vimfiles
(for Windows). IIUC they will be sourced in addition to the default
scripts, because Vim installs them by doing ":runtime! synmenu.vim" (see
":help :runtime").


Best regards,
Tony.
