From: Alder Green Date: 2006-09-02T18:34:37+09:00 Subject: A better syntax highlighting color scheme for Ruby code on Vim? I've been migrating to Vim recently. It has impressive Ruby/Rails support: indentation, intellisense for Ruby and Rails objects, a lot of shortcuts for fast editing of Rails projects... you can even script Vim in Ruby! Vim also has good syntax-highlighting support. Unfortunately, the color scheme applied through the syntax highlighting sucks. It lumps together too many elements: Methods, symbols, constants, class variables, instance variables, global variables, block parameters, predefined constants and variables -- All those are colored blue. Which completely defeats the purpose of syntax-highlighting, to help you visually differentiate between the various syntactical elements of the code. Apparently, all the above (and several others) *are* differentiated by the Vim Ruby syntax parser. However, the default color scheme colors them all the same. So the problem is with the color scheme. How do I get a nice color scheme that would do a better job of visually differentiating the various Ruby-related syntactical elements? -- -Alder
