I have seen instructions about creating a “skeleton” file in vim. This involves creating the file, naming it “tmpl” plus the extension of the file type you are targeting (ex: tmpl.html), saving it to the “skeleton” directory, and then editing the vimrc file.

But, in MacVim, I don’t see a “skeleton” directory anywhere. Googling, etc., has returned no helpful information.

Can someone point me to a helpful tutorial/white paper/whatever to walk me through this process for MacVim?

I am determined to develop some skills with Vim/MacVim!

Thanks

    I feel dirty giving this as an answer (because I’ve never done it), but googlin’ gave me this: Vim Recipes: Using Templates.

    Seems like you make your own skeleton directory and point the line for your .vimrc file to it.
