Yes, you can see this in the make filetype plugin in Vim’s $VIMRUNTIME directory, which is usually

    /usr/share/vim/vim81
which contains all of the plugins, syntax definition files, etc. that come with Vim. The file for make is located at

    $VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/make.vim.
It’s pretty straight forward to override any default behavior you’d like to change; this is a great article on how all of this works [1].
