Question

I’m trying to write a function that acts on any filetype (thus is not a particular ftplugin), that has divergent behavior based upon what the filetype is. e.g.

 if (filetype=='objc')
     "do something
 elseif (filetype='cpp')
     "do something else
 endif

I read through the filetype docs, but nothing seems to reference this. Advice?
