I often set &mp and &efm manually to have a quickfix mode whatever I'm
doing and it pissed me off multiple times to "magically" lose them then
I realized it happened when I setf or e a shell script so I gave a look at
it and realized that I none of the things done by this plugin has any
value in my workflow so I decided just to delete it instead of fixing
it.

But then I came to another machine and got the same problem and that's
why I asked here.

I actually had all of my stuff in ~/.config/vim/after and completely forgot
about ~/.config/vim/ftplugin. just moving/touching files to maintain the
blacklist is wonderful. thanks for helping me reactivate my rusted
brain.

I'm really impressed by the quality of the documentation given all the
changes that are made in vim from the first version I used (which was
3.something) but yes: sometimes it's hard to find the good part of the
doc.

Thank you so much.
