how to load vim source files based on filetype?

[Peng Yu]

Hi,

I have vim-latex, perl.vim and bash-support.vim installed. I see menu
items for latex, perl and bash, no matter what the file type is. I'm
wondering if it is possible to configure vim so that it would not load
them if the file type does not match.

Thanks,
Peng

Gvim normally loads its menus once and for all, at startup (normally as
a result of "filetype plugin [indent] on" IIRC), but plugins may modify
the menus, and if you use "Syntax => Show filetypes in menu" the menus
will be reloaded.

However, what you're asking for would require unloading and reloading
the menus whenever one moves from one split-window to another (since the
files in different split-windows may have different filetypes). It
/might/ be possible to do it by modifying your plugins, but I don't
think the game would be worth the candle.

Best regards,
Tony.

I do not really need to switch between different menu if I switch
between different menus.

Suppose I only start one file, I just want the menu associated with
its filetype be loaded to speedup the loading.
