How can I configure VIM so that files with extension .less are edited with zen-coding?

I can use within the zencoding notepad + + on windows normally. But now I want to use the same way inside vim.

ZenCoding is probably activated on a per-filetype basis, if that's the case, just type :set filetype=css.

If you want this setting to stick, add this line to your .vimrc:

autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.less set filetype=css

If you want to retain the normal features that go with .less files (if any) you can do :set ft=less.css but some plugins don't like that.

I first tried to write a comment, but found then something that could be an answer.

So I think the question is: How can I configure VIM so that files with extension .less are edited with zen-coding?

At the official site for zen-coding, there are lists of editors that support zen-coding:

  • Official
  • third-party
  • Unofficial

There for VIM, the following sites are mentioned:

I have read into both, and both seem to expand shortcuts to HTML code, not to less-code. But perhaps I have misunderstood the question.
