I want to set the maximum line length to a certain value, only for tex files.
VIM has a command to force line length. It’s:
set tw=120
To automatically execute this command only for tex files, you have to edit your vimrc file (~/.vimrc or /etc/vim/vimrc) adding the following lines:
if has("autocmd")
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.tex set tw=120
endif
Now VIM will execute this command every time that you will open a tex file.
