currently ftplugin/go.vim contains this line:

setlocal formatoptions-=t

that seems unnecessarily specific and interferes with user-level settings (cf. editorconfig/editorconfig#177)

I find it incredibly annoying that it keeps highlighting things as errors as I am typing. It doesn't make much sense and it isn't very useful.

https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/runtime/syntax/go.vim#L31-L45

It should be disabled by default. It isn't something vim normally does for any other language, it's usually deferred to a plugin.

Hi there!

The runtime files in the default Vim distro are a bit outdated; there are a few new features, and a few things that could be optimised/improved. I've been working on this in https://github.com/arp242/gopher.vim; unlike vim-go, it's more self-contained, and with a few small modifications stuff like the syntax, compiler, and other generic runtime files could be added to the default Vim distro.

Usually the response to patches to runtime files is "contact the maintainer", and you're still listed as that @dbarnett; hence this issue.

I don't have a direct patch or list of changes as such; I forked from vim-go, which took the files from here 6 years ago (I think?)

Any thoughts on how to proceed? I can open a PR, or add some changes incrementally. I don't mind taking over the maintainership of the Vim runtime files either, since this doesn't seem very active and the current version in Vim is from 2014 😅

Thanks!
Martin
