But note that colour is not the only problem. Indenting went away, too. I checked my .vimrc. It has "filetype plugin indent on". I also checked the differences between new and old /etc/vim/vimrc. They seem trivial. BTW, I'm not sure I understand about colour schemes: what I costumized are things like the colour of the selected area in visual mode and such. I didn't touch anything related with filetypes. With the new version, the problem is not that the colours are not to my liking, it's that they are synctatical nonsense (same keyword sometimes coloured, sometimes not, blocks of code all pink for no apparent good reason,...). > > - Use the command ":filetype indent on" or ":filetype indent off" to switch > filetype-related indenting on or off.
