One bash script is named without file extension, NERD Commenter works fine.

Another bash script name is aaa.sa. NERD Commenter is using -- to comment a line instead of #. File syntax highlight is also wrong.

How to fix this?

.sa files are detected by Vim as Sather files.

You can check in Vim by issuing :verbose set filetype?.

If you want to have your own filetypes detected matching a particular pattern, please check the faq (also other questions in the same section might be relevant for you).

Note, I find using the extension sa for bash files confusing and un-intuitive.

  • Since I don't use Sather file, I add below line to .vimrc to force .sa show as sh. <br/> au BufRead,BufNewFile *.sa set filetype=sh – Fisher Jan 10 '18 at 11:07
  • Why would you use sa as extension for shell files? – Christian Brabandt Jan 12 '18 at 19:05
  • It's not an extension, sa is stand-alone. And . is easier than _ to type. – Fisher Jan 16 '18 at 11:59
