[opensuse] where to enable syntax highlighting ?
On leap421, /etc/multipath.conf has syntax highlighting active in vim, on leap422 it does not. In leap421, when editing this file, I can turn it on and off with "syntax on/off", in leap422 this makes no difference. Syntax highlighting does work in leap422, e.g. in /etc/resolv.conf. /etc/vimrc on the two systems are identical. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.2°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Not that it helps, but syntax highlighting works in Leap 42.3. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It seems to work fine in 421 and 422 too. Here is something funny - I added a line at the very top, just '#', and all of a sudden syntax highlighting works. Delete the saame line, and it stops working. Try this - create ~/robert.conf with something like this: defaults { name "robert" } Syntax highlighting is inactive. Add a line at the top containing only '#', write to disk and leave vi. Reopen file - et voila, syntax highlighting works. Delete again, syntax highlighting doesn't work. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.8°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I put it in .vimrc: " this is the one you want :) " syntax on " " these are just helpful...

I put it in .vimrc:
It turns out there is nothing to do, except make sure the first line of a conf file is a comment. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (22.6°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
