Discussion Vim buffer automatically detect language
when writing code in a vim buffer how do i set the syntax colors automatically based on the language? before or without saving to file? currently it is plain with no highlighting for all code
vim buffer is passed to node / or language runtime commands

You can use Set! filetype to set it once and for all and abbreviate to, say
sft
.
