Why can't I change vim syntax highlighting via local vimrc file? -


i trying customize vim highlighting placing additional instructions local config $project/.lvimrc, managed https://github.com/embear/vim-localvimrc plugin.

unfortunately, seems commands like

syntax match operator "\<myop\>" 

located in .lvimrc ignored silently vim. typing command in command line works expected. other commands .lvimrc work. may stop vim interpreting local highlighting correctly?

it problem loading order, i.e., .lvimrc loaded, filetype syntax loaded , overwrites .lvimrc syntax commands. check including echom statements on both files.

also notice local vimrc not standard way of customizing syntax highlight. vim faq 24.11:

you should not modify syntax files supplied vim add extensions. when install next version of vim, lose changes. instead should create file under ~/.vim/after/syntax directory same name original syntax file , add additions file.  more information, read       |mysyntaxfile-add|     |'runtimepath'|
