I am having a problem with a vim color file.  It colors everything the way I
want it, except for Braces.  I set this color file as the default to use in
my .vimrc file.  When I go in to edit a file, say a java file, however,
everything colorizes perfectly, but the braces, brackets, curly brackets,
and parenthesis don't color.  To get them to color, I have to run the color
command with the appropriate color filename.  Can anyone help me out with
this?  I'm assuming it's a syntax error in the color file.  The file is:

" peterv0.vim - Vim color file

   4 set background=dark
   5 hi clear

I'd really appreciate help with this.


The place for a ":syn match" command is not in a colorscheme (which is only sourced once, when the ":colorscheme" command is issued, and maybe again if you set ":syntax on" after using "syntax off"), but in a syntax script (which is sourced every time a file of the concerned filetype is opened). If you want to apply that Braces synmatch to all files, then you might add to your vimrc the following (untested)

if has('autocmd') && has('syntax')
        au VimEnter * au Syntax * syn match Braces display '[]{}()[]'
endif

while keeping the Braces highlight command in your colorscheme. Otherwise that :syn match command should go (I think) in ~/vimfiles/after/syntax/whatever.vim (on Windows), or ~/.vim/after/syntax/whatever.vim (on Unix), replacing "whatever" by the syntax type (which is usually the filetype).


Best regards,
Tony.
