vim: would like it to turn settings on only for certain file types

Question

I\'ve looked at this but it wasn\'t too much help. Maybe I didn\'t read it too well.

Basically what I want is when I open a .txt file the settings:

set          


        

Answer 1

My answer to that question still applies:

Put autocmd commands based on the file suffix in your ~/.vimrc

autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile   *.txt set wrap linebreak

As Luc says, you might prefer to

autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile   *.txt setlocal wrap linebreak

if you're likely to open txt and non-txt files at the same time.
