Re: syntax highlighting disabled with :bufdo e in gvim

As the subject says: when I do `:bufdo e` in gvim syntax highlighting is turned off in the reloaded buffers.  Why? and more importantly: what can I do so that syntax is left on/turned on in all reloaded buffers?  The only fix I know of ATM is to do `:e` for each individual buffer, but the idea is of course to not have to do that!

Hi, BPJ.

It's messy, but here's a mapping I use for just such a purpose:

" Use <Leader>b to start a bufdo command line that keeps highlighting active

" in the buffers it touches, even if they haven't been loaded yet. Also

" restores the # and % buffers afterward.

noremap <Leader>b :<C-u>let g:bufdo_bufnr=bufnr('%') \| let g:bufdo_bufnr_prev=bufnr('#') \| bufdo set eventignore-=Syntax \|  \| exec 'buffer '.g:bufdo_bufnr_prev \| exec 'buffer '.g:bufdo_bufnr<Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left><Left>
