To overwrite some formatoptions provided by my plugins I made ~/.vim/after/final.vim file and add this location to my $RUNTIMEPATH by putting these lines just after (vundle) plugins in my .vimrc.

set rtp-=~/.vim/after 
set rtp+=~/.vim/after

I check if it's OK by:

:set rtp?

It is OK. ~/.vim/after is at the the end of the list.

According to the :h after-directory all *.vim files under ~/.vim/after should be loaded as a plugins.

It doesn't work. When I type 

:scriptnames

there is nothing from my ~/.vim/after folder. What is going on?

First, you don't need to add ~/.vim/after/ to runtimepath as it's already part of the default value.

Second, the content of ~/.vim/after/ is supposed to match the structure found in /usr/share/vim/vim7x/ and ~/.vim/ so, for your final.vim to be sourced like a plugin, you only need to put it where it belongs:

 ~/.vim/after/plugin/final.vim

See :help 'runtimepath'.

  • … but I'm not sure why you would need to do this. – romainl Aug 4 '16 at 18:32
  • :h 'runtimepath' shows default situation. In my case somehow ~/.vim/after was not present in runtimepath. When I added one line: set rtp+=~/.vim/after , it was not at the end of list. – Mesco Aug 5 '16 at 11:07
  • Thanks! I need it because my formatoption=... , hlsearch, scrool=... and others are overwriten by Plugins. After your solution I got an "Error detected after processing /home/me/.vim/after/plugin/final.vim". Inside final.vim there are simple vimrc commands. Shouldn't it be in another folder? Where? – Mesco Aug 5 '16 at 11:19

    Show us the errors and the content of final.vim and vimrc. And investigate why after/ is not in &rtp. – romainl Aug 5 '16 at 11:35
  • [github.com/UncleGoogle/vim]. final.vim is in .vim/after. EDIT: I've just realize that sth was automatically generated in final.vim I don't understand why, but I deleted this and now its ok. I'm adding also :scriptnames output -> interesting thing is despite all of my effords airline-plugin is loaded even after final.vim. Sneaky guy. – Mesco Aug 5 '16 at 13:13
