Thanks for you help. So i have read several articles of vi's help. I have understood that when my file is call foo.txt, :helptags . creates my tags file, and that is what i want. :h tag-highlight is apparently the section to set the highlight, but i don't understand everything. I can read: "If you want to highlight all the tags in your file, you can use the following mappings. <F11> -- Generate tags.vim file, and highlight tags. <F12> -- Just highlight tags based on existing tags.vim file. :map <F11> :sp tags<CR>:%s/^\([^ :]*:\)\=\([^ ]*\).*/syntax keyword Tag \2/<CR>:wq! tags.vim<CR>/^<CR><F12> :map <F12> :so tags.vim<CR>" 1) How can i know free shortcuts on my machine? it seams that F11 is used for a wider window. 2) For exemple, is it possible to use Ctrl+F11? should i write <C- F11>... does not work... 3) I have one tags.vim file her: /usr/share/vim/vim80/syntax/tags.vim What is the utility of this file? Does it allow to define coloration? 4) How to use it? I copied tags.vim file in my current directory, and i copied a "true" helpfile from directory /usr/share/vim/vim80/doc I tried so execute the command for F11, but it does not work... 5) After that, if i modify my .txt file, i will have to launch again :h tag-highlight, if i change my file. But of course, i want to define hightlighting one time forever. Is it possible? Best regards, Mathieu Roux -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
