Hope it doesn't come back and bite me when I've forgotten all about it. I think I should stick these doubtful customizations of mine in some separate file rather than modifying individual colorschemes. I've just tested: :set FoldColumn=2 :hi Foldcolumn ctermbg=black .. and it adds a 2-column margin to the left of my display and thought I could add these to my .vimrc but then this will be lost whenever I change colorscheme on the fly. > > [...] > awful thing about vim is that the more you learn the more you realize how complex it is and how much more there is to learn.. But thanks to all the help I am getting on this list I am now a bit more able to find my own answers. The help files are great but it's really a maze.. You could spend hours and hours just following these tags.. Sometimes it gets to the point where I can't remember what I was looking for in the first place. :-) > > Best regards, > Tony. Thanks, cga
