Optimize Your .vimrc: Execute Multiple Lines for Specific Filetypes
Vim is a powerful text editor that can be tailored to fit just about anyone's workflow. However, one common question among Vim users is how to manage custom settings that only apply to certain filetypes. For example, you might need specific configurations for your HTML files without bogging down your entire .vimrc file with repetitive commands.
In this post, we'll address how you can efficiently execute multiple lines in your .vimrc for targeted filetypes, particularly focusing on HTML files.
The Problem
When customizing your Vim configurations for certain file types, you often encounter the need to repeat commands multiple times. For instance, you might find yourself retyping lines whenever you want to apply settings related to HTML files only.
A typical .vimrc setup for HTML might look like this:

As you can see, this approach can quickly clutter your .vimrc, especially if you have multiple file types to configure.
The Solution
To streamline your Vim setup without redundancy, you can utilize Vim's built-in features for file-specific configurations. Instead of writing remember this for each filetype, you can create a designated file that contains all commands associated with HTML.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Create FileType-Specific Configuration File
Depending on your operating system, you will want to create a specific file for HTML settings:

Important Notes
Avoid Autocommands: By using a file-specific configuration file, you eliminate the need for autocommands (autocmd), which helps keep your .vimrc clean.
Using setlocal: This command is preferred over set because it restricts the changes made to the buffer of the filetype currently being edited, preventing unwanted settings from affecting other files.
Buffer-Specific Abbreviations: The <buffer> command in abbreviations ensures that your shortcuts are limited to the current buffer, preventing them from leaking into other filetypes. You can learn more by checking :help :map-<buffer>.
Final Thoughts
Using this method not only makes your Vim configuration cleaner, but it also enhances your productivity by ensuring that your settings are applied correctly without redundancy.
For more details, feel free to explore Vim's help documentation. See :help filetype for additional information on managing filetype-specific settings.
With this simple adjustment in how you manage filetypes in Vim, you can keep your configurations organized, making your coding experience smoother and more efficient.
