Post subject:  Changing context sensitive text color
I'm trying to find out how to change the context sensitive text coloring scheme that comes up when I edit scripts/code/etc in vi. The problem I am having is that I use xterms with black backgrounds. The 'comment' coloring is a fairly dark blue. Blue on black does not show up well.

Check out /usr/share/vim/vim61/colors/README.txt

I basically just ran:
Code:
locate vim | more
and looked for anything interesting.

OBTW - I'm utterly in sympathy. I see way too many coloir schemes where somebody has created a low contrast botch like that.

Hmm. I'm using standard 'vi', not 'vim' .. I thought they were seperate entities. I'll take a look at the vim color files. Thanks for the help...

Well you are both right. they are seperate, but on debian when you install vim it symlinks it back to vi. I assure you they are different though, because you can only install vi and not vim, and you notice the difference right away.

Yeah, but he was talking about syntax hilighting, which no self respecting hair shirt "real" vi does, at least not that I know of. ;-)

yeah I knew that you would know that tjc, the explanation was more for his benefit to know that vim is indeed called by the vi command once it's installed, at least on debian based systems.
