patch: Use Lua autocmd API - #872
Conversation
Make use of the new API implemented in neovim/neovim#14661. This API is not yet released, but will probably be released with Neovim 0.7 (see https://github.com/neovim/neovim/milestone/29). So I guess you can merge my PR when Neovim 0.7 is released? I tried out this diff on the Git master of Neovim.

This API will definitely be released with 0.7, which is scheduled for April 15. Be aware that until then, the API may still change! I'd recommend waiting a bit before merging this to allow people (and distros) to update (this being the Easter weekend, after all). |

| This autocommand can be placed in your `init.vim`, in `plugins.lua`, or any other startup file as per your setup. |

Should be init.lua, as this is Lua code.

Good catch. However, I see that there are other references to init.vim in the readme. I guess it would be inconsistent if I used init.lua in this one place and the rest of the readme uses init.vim. I dropped the reference to init.vim entirely for now, I think that's probably the easiest solution.

I'm not familiar with what source <afile> does. If I remember correctly I tried to find the equivalent in the lua api and there was nothing equivalent (but maybe I remember that wrong). I have the lua code in my init.lua as I wrote in this PR and it works.

There is -- Lua callbacks get passed an args table, with args.file being equivalent to <afile>.
See :h nvim_create_autocmd().
