On Thu, 23 May 2002 21:27:04 -0400 Hugh, See if :syntax off works. Also check out:
http://vim.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/syntax.html#syntax I've pasted a bit below... Regards......Tom ---snip-> You can toggle the syntax on/off with this command :if exists("syntax_on") | syntax off | else | syntax enable | endif To put this into a mapping, you can use: :map <F7> :if exists("syntax_on") <Bar> \ syntax off <Bar> \ else <Bar> \ syntax enable <Bar> \ endif <CR> [using the |<>| notation, type this literally] Details The ":syntax" commands are implemented by sourcing a file. To see exactly how this works, look in the file: command file :syntax enable $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/syntax.vim :syntax on $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/syntax.vim :syntax manual $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/manual.vim :syntax off $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/nosyntax.vim Also see |syntax-loading|. ----end snip-> > From: "Hugh E Cruickshank" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: RE: Terminal color support > Date: Thu, 23 May 2002 11:54:39 -0700 > > From: Bret Hughes Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 11:34 AM > > On Thu, 2002-05-23 at 13:21, Hugh E Cruickshank wrote: > > > vim is driving me right batty.
