It looks like TOML is not currently supported:

https://github.com/toml-lang/toml

as a workaround, I am changing this:

https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/7b130b9738c3d3975721ce9b84f91320e8d4857c/runtime/filetype.vim#L1981-L1982

to:

au BufNewFile,BufRead *.yaml,*.yml,*.toml		setf yaml

TOML is not yaml.

Yeah I know that.

but YAML has the closest syntax. So until someone imports a TOML syntax file, its the best option.

You can use https://github.com/cespare/vim-toml/.

There's already discussion (although the maintainer has understandable reservations) about submitting the scripts to Vim -- cespare/vim-toml#36.

so it looks like there is already discussion about this on the upstream repository. Until this is resolved, you can clone this repository. So I am closing this.

For a temporary solution you better set the right filetype (probably
"toml"), and add a syntax file that loads the yaml syntax for now.
Then it's easier for a user to drop in another toml.vim in their own
.vim/syntax directory to overrule it.

I have my own toml syntax (ftdetect, ftplugin, syntax) https://github.com/habamax/.vim/tree/master/pack/habamax/start/vim-toml

This change wouldn't break it, right?
