Table of Contents. In I described how to have fine-grained control of your color settings. In this article I’ll take an easier route, and just show how you can use existing color schemes in your vim editor sessions. Note: In an previous version of this document I referred to both vim and the vi editor, and someone correctly pointed out that the two are not the same, especially in this case. Using a vim color scheme Using a vim color scheme is actually pretty simple. If you’re in a vim editor session, just issue the vim colorscheme command from last line mode, like this::colorscheme delek Or, if you prefer less typing, just use the colo command, like this::colo delek Either of these commands tell vim that you want to use the delek colorscheme.

One page summary of color schemes Edit. Nate Kane has created a overview and search page showing sample Ruby code in many different color schemes. Some of the color schemes are provided with Vim. For example, the following command should show the elflord scheme::colorscheme elflord. Where is the folder with color schemes used by vim? Ask Question 1. I use vi on mac os x at work and on Ubuntu at home. I like the colorscheme vim uses on the mac and I'd like to copy the corresponding file on ubuntu, but I can't find it, since there's no ~/.vim folder.

The vimrc file is located in your home directory, so on Mac, Unix, and Linux systems the vimrc file actually begins with a decimal (it’s a “hidden” file), so you can edit it like this: vi /.vimrc I haven’t used Windows in a long time, but I think the filename is just vimrc on Windows’ systems. To use the desert colorscheme just add these lines to your vimrc file: colo desert syntax on (For more information on vimrc configuration files, see my.) What vim color schemes are installed?

A common question at this point is “What color schemes are available on my system?” You can find your installed vim colorscheme files in the colors subdirectory of your vim installation directory. All the files end with the file extension.vim, and begin with the name of the colorscheme. As an example, I just found all these files in the /usr/share/vim/vim72/colors directory on my Mac OS X system: blue.vim darkblue.vim default.vim delek.vim desert.vim elflord.vim evening.vim koehler.vim morning.vim murphy.vim pablo.vim peachpuff.vim ron.vim shine.vim slate.vim torte.vim zellner.vim Manual vi/vim color control If you don’t like any of these default color schemes you can find others on the internet, or even create your own, using one of these files as an example. Or, if you’d like to tweak a few colors manually, take a look at my. As a final note, if you’re new to the concept of syntax highlighting, here’s a link to my.
