Sophia VIM Syntax

Sophia is not natively supported by vim and it's file extension "aes" is interpreted as a plain text by VIM, hence a little configuration is required to spice things up. Follow the steps below to add a syntax highlighting feature for Sophia (aes) in Vim.

1. Add a file detect type for Sophia files using either of the options below:
   • Add a aes.vim file to ftdetect

   " ~/.vim/after/ftdetect/aes.vim
   autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.aes setfiletype aes

   • Add a filetype config file to vim

   " ~/.vim/filetype.vim
   if exists("did_load_filetypes")
     finish
   endif
   augroup filetypedetect
     au! BufRead,BufNewFile *.aes  setfiletype aes
   augroup END

2. Copy the syntax file to the syntax directory (~/.vim/after/syntax/aes.vim)
3. Restart VIM for the changes to take effect

N.B: The syntax highlighting works well with any color scheme.
