PROFILE

Callum Andrew

Worked on improving file type detection in the macvim-dev/macvim repository by addressing a bug affecting Groff/mom macro support. Focused on correcting the misclassification of .mom files, ensuring they are now recognized as groff rather than nroff, which aligns with established mom macro and groff tooling. This update, implemented as patch 9.1.1909, enhances syntax highlighting and macro editing for developers working with mom-based projects. Leveraged Vim scripting and file type detection expertise to deliver a targeted fix that improves editor reliability and workflow accuracy. The work demonstrates attention to detail in text editor development and language-specific configuration.

In 2025-11, delivered a focused fix to Groff/mom macro support in macvim. The key deliverable was correcting filetype detection so that .mom files are recognized as groff (not nroff), aligning with mom macros and groff tooling.

The change was implemented as patch 9.1.1909 in macvim-dev/macvim, summarized by commit 23e12c0b7ec02cc374f111fd9dfaa84734dbb7f5, with sign-offs from Callum Andrew and Christian Brabandt, and closes issue #18718.
