Thnx for the link. I really like it :) All my basic needs are satisfied - Home & End work "as they're supposed to" (to me, at least :p), I can scroll the text in vim with the mouse (which, oddly, I can't do in Terminal). Plus, I really like iTerm's eye candy and just plain adore the "quit iTerm when all windows are closed" option :) However, still no luck on the highlight issue :( I mean, it's really not clear to me how gnome-terminal can be the only one to show them... And there's no terminal-dependant code in my vimrc, just a line stating set cursorline cursorcolumn I even installed MacVim, but no luck there either. However, MacVim is not really a choice since most of the time I edit remote files. > > Alas, I'm not sure what you mean about vim—I'm a TextMate user myself, > with some experience in emacs.
