##Syntax Highlighting For .coffee Files in vim72
After copying the coffee.vim file into the `syntax` directory for your vim72 install, you have two options for enabling syntax highlighting of .coffee files
### Manually
In the vim console, do:
:set syntax=coffee
### Automagically
The "least intrusive" way to add syntax highlighting for `.coffee` files in vim72 is to create a file (named, say, `filetype.vim`) in your `~/.vim` (or platform appropriate) folder. In it, you would put someting like:
if exists("did_load_filetypes")
finish
end
augroup filetypedetect
au! BufRead,BufNewFile *.coffee setfiletype coffee
augroup END
And the next time you open a `.coffee` file, voila!
