In my Linux machine files with the .sv extension opens up by default with the verilog syntax highlighting scheme, however extension with .vor .vs don't. I have to manually in gvim do a :set syntax=verilog every time I open one of these files.

How do I make those file extensions .v or .vs open up in a verilog syntax highlighting by default ?

Thanks

Add an auto-command to your .vimrc to do that for you:

autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.v,*.vs set syntax=verilog
