I have some character maps for typing braces that I'd like to behave differently based on the file's extension - I imagine that would be pretty useful ability to have in general. Any ideas on how to make this happen from my .vimrc or a plugin? Thank you! ...
Hi, I was wondering if it would be possible to run the vim spell checker while coding with PHP. I can run it if I disable syntax highlighting, and it highlights almost all methods/function names because they are not English words. So, my question is this, can I run the spell check on just the strings within PHP files? For example,...

I like to use hlsearch but I hate to keep everything highlighted after searching, to solve this problem I could simply use :nohlsearch or an abbreviation of it but that is still to much effort so I decided to try to do that on pressing escape.

E.g., if I opened the files in this order A, B, C an my nav...

When I try to do a git commit -a, I get a nice vim instance. I type in my message, do :wq, vim closes down and the terminal has the message, Aborting commit due to empty commit message.
