I write TypeScript in vim and don't wish to run proprietary software, save for a few games on a machine dedicated for that purpose.

It works simply by adding this line on the top or bottom:

  /* vim:set filetype=javascript: */

You can add other options in there as well, so it's easy for others to match your indentation style for instance.

Why don't you use https://github.com/leafgarland/typescript-vim?

There is also https://github.com/clausreinke/typescript-tools

Haa! Much like adding a 70's Lac Engine into a Tesla. If it works that is cool and trendy and not monetarily smart.

Thanks!
