Hi there, I am connecting through putty to a linux server, where I'd like to use vim and its syntax highlight. However, I cannot figure out, why it doesn't work for me.
I googled for an hour by now, read all similar forum posts and read all through http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/usr_06.html#06.1 and http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/syntax.html#xterm-color Tried (almost) everythnig describe there, but still no effect. Some helpful info: - When I type "ls" (in bash), I see colored results (directories, symlinks, etc.) - filetype is correctly detected (typing :set filetype prints out correctly "filetype=perl" - when I type ":hi Normal ctermfg=green", all text is green - when I type ":hi Comment ctermfg=Cyan", nothnig happens. - when I type ":syntax" (in Vim), it says "No Syntax items defined for this buffer" Probably the parser would't work well? Doesn't recognize perl comments and other structures (functions, variables, ...)? Just an idea, don't have a clue, what the reason is. Has somebody some idea please?
