Hi Vim now highlights matching text when typing a Ex command like :%s/foobar/ I like it. But I wish that it would use a different color for the regex captured group(s).
For example, if I do :%s/foo\(bar\)/ I would like "bar" (the captured group) to be highlighted with a different color than foo in matching text, so it's easier to visually see that my regexp matches and what \1 is when I do :%s/foo\(bar\)/\1/. In this example the regexp and captured group are obvious of course, so a different color may not seem useful. But it becomes more useful when the the regex is more complex. There are 10 possibly regexp groups. Having 10 different colors might be overkill (not sure). The same color for any group may good enough, or perhaps alternative colors for \1 \2 \3...? I wonder whether other vim users would also find it useful. Regards Dominique -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
