Thanks for the information, Doug, it's quite useful for the "maintainer's decision". :-)
While I'm not specifically liking "lots of highlighting" I think it's good to have it consistent with the named standard operators. The defined colors (for black and white backgrounds, respectively) also appears to be not too "invasive". So I'd suggest we remove the option altogether and have the operator-symbol highlighting *on*, defined as standard. Would you be so kind to make this change? - Thanks! Concerning: "There's about a dozen syntax files offering a similar configuration option." If you mean that it's *common* to allow a (interactive or by configuration) explicit setting of highlighting behavior of this specific element then we could _disable_ it by a conditional, but frankly, I don't see a point allowing to configure every detail separately. Regards, Janis PS: An interesting question is whether it's possible to highlight user-defined operators and procedures. ;-) ________________________________________ Von: [email protected] <[email protected]> im Auftrag von Doug Kearns <[email protected]> Gesendet: Sonntag, 3.

Some users like lots of highlighting, some don't, and some are very vocal about it either way. As a result there's not much consistency across the runtime files. We could leave it as is, use a default value of true to highlight them, or remove the option altogether. There's about a dozen syntax files offering a similar configuration option. I think this is a maintainer's decision. :) Regards, Doug -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
