Hello, You'll need to use syntax commands, and you may need to open up the colour viewer while you're setting these up. First, to highlight some words using the existing color groups:
syn keyword Function containedin=ALL word1 word2 syn keyword Statement containedin=ALL word3 word4 syn keyword Typedef containedin=ALL word5 word6 syn keyword Constant containedin=ALL word7 word8 syn keyword PreProc containedin=ALL word9 word10 syn keyword Operator containedin=ALL word11 word12 There are a few more groups you could choose from. Use this command to see them all: :so $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/hitest.vim If there's not enough colours for you to choose from there, you could make up your own colour groups: syn keyword myColor1 containedin=ALL word1 word2 syn keyword myColor2 containedin=ALL word3 word4 syn keyword myColor3 containedin=ALL word5 word6 " for GUI vim: hi myColor1 guifg=SeaGreen hi myColor2 guifg=#FF0000 " or for color terminal: hi myColor1 ctermfg=Green cterm=Bold hi myColor2 ctermfg=Red cterm=Underline You could either put all that in an ftplugin file, or maybe inside a function inside your .vimrc. regards, Peter --- Eric Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Like I want all instances of a word in a file to have its own color. > > Amy one done something like that? > > -- > Eric Smith > ____________________________________________________ On Yahoo!7 Caller tones: Replace your ring tone with your favourite sound clip! http://callertones.yahoo7.mnetcorporation.com/ctonesmailtag
