Manually expand the vim plug-in-color

Background

Anyone who has used a slightly improved editor knows that you can customize the font color, background color, and keyword color in settings to improve our development efficiency. For an editor like vim, of course, these functions are indispensable. I will show you the flexibility beyond the reach of other editors below.

There are thousands of VIM theme plug-ins on the vimcolorschemetest site. However, each theme has something we are not satisfied with. Therefore, we need to expand it ourselves. This article is my experience in customizing the vim topic and I would like to share it with vimer.

Basic knowledge

• In vim, themes also exist in the form of plug-ins. The built-in themes are stored in$ Vimruntime/colorsFolder*. VimName. (Note: View$ VimruntimeRun: Echo $ vimruntime)
• User-defined themes are generally not placed in the system directory, but in~ /. Vim/colorsDirectory.
• Run the following command to change the vim topic:

: Colorscheme theme plug-in name

• But in this way, only the vim topic can be changed temporarily, and the change will be restored after exiting. If you want to change it permanently, go ~ /. Add the following to vimrc:

Colorscheme theme plug-in name

Preparations

Because I do not use gvim in windows, but use Vim in Linux or remote SSH~ /. VimrcTo enable 256 color support:

set t_Co=256

To highlight keywords when editing a program~ /. VimrcEnable syntax highlighting:

syntax enablesyntax on 

After completing the above preparations, let's officially start the theme customization journey!

Custom themes

Theme tones

Before configuring other attributes, you must first configure the overall color of the subject. There are only two options: Dark and Light (dark and bright ). For programmers who frequently read and write code, dark colors are a better choice:

set background=dark

Next, you need to reset the syntax highlighting, otherwise the setting will not take effect:

if version > 580    hi clear    if exists("syntax_on")        syntax reset    endifendif

Topic name

The topic name is called without parameters.: ColorschemeThe returned information is used to distinguish different topics. The settings are as follows:

let g:colors_name="nslib_color256"

Basic Attributes

Vim can run on the black and white terminals, color terminals, and GUI. Therefore, we need to configure the decibels. The following is a brief description:

Properties of term black and white terminal properties of cterm color terminal properties of ctermfg color terminal foreground color ctermbg color terminal background color GUI properties guifg GUI foreground color guibg GUI background color

We do not need to configure the black and white terminals. Therefore, the main configuration is focused on the Color terminal and GUI interface. Because the configuration of the color terminal and GUI interface is only different in keywords, therefore, only color terminals are selected here for description.

Because not all terminals support 256 colors, using some security colors will make our theme more portable, and GUI can support all colors, which is not within the scope of consideration. The security colors provided in the vim document are as follows:

"0      Black  "1      DarkBlue  "2      DarkGreen        "3      DarkCyan "4      DarkRed"5      DarkMagenta        "6      Brown, DarkYellow            "7      LightGray, LightGrey, Gray, Grey                   "8      DarkGray, DarkGrey   "9      Blue, LightBlue     "10     Green, LightGreen          "11     Cyan, LightCyan                    "12     Red, LightRed                         "13     Magenta, LightMagenta "14     Yellow, LightYellow   "15     White     

Color Matching syntax

The following example illustrates the color scheme Syntax:

hi Type             ctermfg=LightYellow     ctermbg=Black           cterm=bold

Where,HiYesHighlightThe abbreviation of the command, used to highlight the configuration;TypeIs the name of the element to be colored; the parameter usesKey = Value.

Element list

The syntax for color configuration is very simple and does not need to be cumbersome. The following describes the commonly used element tags for classification:

Status Bar prompt information

Hi statusline status bar Hi statuslinenc non-current window status bar errormsg error information warningmsg warning information modemsg current mode moremsg other text question ask the user error Error

Text Search

Text string matching in hi incsearch incremental search

Pop-up menu

Pmenu pop-up menu pmenusel menu current selection item

Form border

Vertsplit Vertical Split Window border linenr row number cursor character cursorline cursor row colorcolumn cursor column colorcolumn ruler nontext window tail ~ And @, and the characters that are not actually displayed in the text

Diff Mode

Diffadd diff mode added rows diffchange diff mode changed rows diffdelete diff mode deleted rows difftext diff mode inserted text

C/C ++ syntax

Comment comment preproc preprocessing type data type constant statement control statement special character string in special string ccppstring CPP string Number todo, hack, fixme and other labels

Summary

Vim is highly flexible and can be configured with options that cannot be configured by other editors. It is very suitable for people like me who like it :-)
