Now supporting INCAR only.

Features:

• Recognise all INCAR "tags" (as of 2025 Apr 21)
• highlight in red when a tag is not recognised
• support most constant commonly used in INCARs
• support bash/python style and Fortrand style comments

How to install

Easy way: Use vim-plug or your favorite plugin manager and add the following to your plugin section:

Plug 'Lattay/vasp.vim'

Handmade way: Copy the content of this project in your .vim or .config/nvim. You should then have something like that:

.vim
\-> ftdetect
    \-> INCAR.vim
\-> syntax
    \-> INCAR.vim

How to use

You should have syntax highlighting and plugin detection enabled.

filetype plugin on
syntax on

Then open an INCAR like usual. If highlighting does not work properly try the command :setf INCAR. If it fixes it, it means the file type is not properly detected for some reason.

If you want to use highlighting on a file not named INCAR the command :setf INCAR will enable it.
