+Lua module: filetype *lua-filetype*
+
+add({filetypes}) *vim.filetype.add()*
+ Add new filetype mappings.
+
+ Filetype mappings can be added either by extension or by
+ filename (either the "tail" or the full file path). The full
+ file path is checked first, followed by the file name. If a
+ match is not found using the filename, then the filename is
+ matched against the list of patterns (sorted by priority)
+ until a match is found. Lastly, if pattern matching does not
+ find a filetype, then the file extension is used.
+
+ The filetype can be either a string (in which case it is used
+ as the filetype directly) or a function. If a function, it
+ takes the full path and buffer number of the file as arguments
+ (along with captures from the matched pattern, if any) and
+ should return a string that will be used as the buffer's
+ filetype.
+
+ Filename patterns can specify an optional priority to resolve
+ cases when a file path matches multiple patterns. Higher
+ priorities are matched first. When omitted, the priority
+ defaults to 0.
+
+ See $VIMRUNTIME/lua/vim/filetype.lua for more examples.
+
+ Note that Lua filetype detection is only enabled when
+ |g:do_filetype_lua| is set to 1.
+
+ Example: >
+
+ vim.filetype.add({
+ extension = {
+ foo = "fooscript",
+ bar = function(path, bufnr)
+ if some_condition() then
+ return "barscript"
+ end
+ return "bar"
+ end,
+ },
+ filename = {
+ [".foorc"] = "toml",
+ ["/etc/foo/config"] = "toml",
+ },
+ pattern = {
+ [".*&zwj;/etc/foo/.*"] = "fooscript",
+ -- Using an optional priority
+ [".*&zwj;/etc/foo/.*%.conf"] = { "dosini", { priority = 10 } },
+ ["README.(%a+)$"] = function(path, bufnr, ext)
+ if ext == "md" then
+ return "markdown"
+ elseif ext == "rst" then

+

+
+ vim.keymap.del('n', 'lhs')
+
+ vim.keymap.del({'n', 'i', 'v'}, '<leader>w', { buffer = 5 })
+<
+
+ Parameters: ~
+ {opts} table A table of optional arguments:
+ • buffer: (number or boolean) Remove a mapping
+ from the given buffer. When "true" or 0, use the
+ current buffer.
+
+ See also: ~

+ -- Can use it to map multiple modes

+
+ -- Can add mapping for specific buffer
+ vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>w', "<cmd>w<cr>", { silent = true, buffer = 5 })
+
+ -- Expr mappings
+ vim.keymap.set('i', '<Tab>', function()
+ return vim.fn.pumvisible() == 1 and "<C-n>" or "<Tab>"
+ end, { expr = true })
+ -- <Plug> mappings
+ vim.keymap.set('n', '[%', '<Plug>(MatchitNormalMultiBackward)')
+<
+
+ Note that in a mapping like: >
+
+ vim.keymap.set('n', 'asdf', require('jkl').my_fun)
+<
+
+ the require('jkl') gets evaluated during this call in order to
+ access the function. If you want to avoid this cost at startup
+ you can wrap it in a function, for example: >
+
+ vim.keymap.set('n', 'asdf', function() return require('jkl').my_fun() end)
+<
+
+ Parameters: ~
+ {mode} string|table Same mode short names as
+ |nvim_set_keymap()|. Can also be list of modes to
+ create mapping on multiple modes.
+ {lhs} string Left-hand side |{lhs}| of the mapping.
+ {rhs} string|function Right-hand side |{rhs}| of the
+ mapping. Can also be a Lua function.
+ {opts} table A table of |:map-arguments| such as
+ "silent". In addition to the options listed in
+ |nvim_set_keymap()|, this table also accepts the
+ following keys:
+ • replace_keycodes: (boolean, default true) When
+ both this and expr is "true",
+ |nvim_replace_termcodes()| is applied to the
+ result of Lua expr maps.
+ • remap: (boolean) Make the mapping recursive.
+ This is the inverse of the "noremap" option from
+ |nvim_set_keymap()|. Default `true` if `lhs` is
+ a string starting with `<plug>`
+ (case-insensitive), `false` otherwise.
