I have moved ~/.vim to ~/.config/vim, the configuration is as follows:

in ~/.profile: export VIMINIT='let $MYVIMRC="$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vim/vimrc" | source $MYVIMRC'

in ~/.config/vim/vimrc: set viminfo+=n$XDG_CACHE_HOME/vim/viminfo set runtimepath=$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vim,$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vim/after,$VIM,$VIMRUNTIME

Now, the thing is that files from ~/.config/vim/ftdetect/ are not respected. On the other hand, if I create ~/.vim/ftdetect/ (leaving the vimrc and everything else under ~/.config), the files are correctly sourced.

Is this a bug or am I missing something here? According to ':help ftdetect' the runtimepath should be respected.

For completeness: I have vim-hg-7.4.179 installed, the PKGBUILD is here: https://github.com/lahwaacz/archlinux-dotfiles/blob/master/Build/vim-hg/PKGB...

I moved my vim config in exactly the same way a few days ago, but I use symlinks instead of configuration options.

$ ln -s ~/.config/vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc $ ln -s ~/.config/vim ~/.vim

Works just fine for me.

Sure the symlinks work - but that will not help on the quest of cleaning my $HOME folder and totally kills the reason for moving into ~/.config/ -- jlk
