Carbon Syntax Highlighting for Vim & Neovim

For Carbon devs using Vim or Neovim, this plugin provides syntax highlighting for .carbon files found throughout explorer/testdata

Manual Installation

Vim Users

From the current directory utils/vim, please run the following commands to install the syntax file.

mkdir -p ~/.vim/syntax && cp syntax/carbon.vim ~/.vim/syntax/
mkdir -p ~/.vim/ftdetect && cp ftdetect/carbon.vim ~/.vim/ftdetect/

Neovim Users

Instead of copying to the ~/.vim directory, please use the ~/.config/nvim directory, or your custom Neovim root directory.

mkdir -p ~/.config/nvim/syntax && cp syntax/carbon.vim ~/.config/nvim/syntax/
mkdir -p ~/.config/nvim/ftdetect && cp ftdetect/carbon.vim ~/.config/nvim/ftdetect/
