I am currently using VIM version 5.7
Hmm. Good luck...
When I start VIM I want to redefine some c language colors with the
highlight commands in the .vimrc startup file, but these commands are
ignored at startup. Once I am running, I can type
:.source .vimrc
In my home directory and the highlight commands are processed properly
and the colors are seen.
:so ~/.vimrc
(from anywhere) should be equivalent. If you're in your home dir, you
can drop the '~/'. If nothing else works, at least save some
keystrokes.
My .vimrc file content is:
[...]
highlight link cConditional VisualNOS
highlight link cRepeat VisualNOS
highlight link cStatement VisualNOS
highlight link cLabel VisualNOS
highlight link cStructure VisualNOS
highlight link cStorageClass VisualNOS
The 6 highlight commands will not work at VIM invocation time.
The highlight commands don't work, presumably because the C syntax file
redefines them.
Does 5.7 have autocommands? If so, put 'em in a function that gets
called when editing files:
fun! LinkColorGroups()
highlight link cConditional VisualNOS
highlight link cRepeat VisualNOS
highlight link cStatement VisualNOS
highlight link cLabel VisualNOS
highlight link cStructure VisualNOS
highlight link cStorageClass VisualNOS
endfun
aug SetupColors
au!
au BufRead,BufNewFile * call LinkColorGroups()
aug END
