Vim Aficionados,
I run console vim. My normal colorscheme, as set in the .vimrc, is `Default'
with backround set to dark. This has always had the consequence that the line
at the bottom of the screen that says `--INSERT--' whenever I'm in that mode is
displayed in magenta.
Last night, this changed to display in white. I did not mess with the terminal
emulator's colors. I *did* begin playing around with commands that change the
syntax coloring while I'm in the middle of a document, e.g.,
:hi LineNr ctermfg=green
But my understanding was that such "live" commands are temporary; when I exited
vim, they are lost, and a restart of vim would bring the usual colors I named in the
.vimrc. So I'm wondering (a) what happened to my purple mode notice?, and (b) did
whatever happened to it happen because of my piecemeal coloring commands?
Many thanks,
GMN
I tried to replicate this, but when I set my colorscheme to default,
it had white text in the status line. Seems like a weird situation,
and smells like it is environment-specific.
Good luck!
