This is new and odd. I do almost all text editing in vim, typically in color-capable iTerm2 windows on my Mac. As far as I know, the system vim installation hasn't been updated or altered in any way for quite some time, perhaps since the OS was installed two years ago.
In the past couple days, however, I've seen a new thing. Regardless of the 'filetype' or 'syntax' setting of the editing window (e.g., dosini, perl, puppet, sh), I'm getting stray highlighting on strings that match this regex: =.*$ It'll match the first equal sign in the string and continue to the end of the line. Worst of all is that the highlighted block shows up with a yellow background and dark gray text, meaning it's obnoxious in addition to unwanted. The effect is limited to vim, but it's not limited to iTerm2; the Apple Terminal app shows the same symptoms. If I ssh in the same terminal window to another host and run vim remotely, I don't see the same problem. I've logged out and rebooted and the problem has persisted. Any ideas as to the culprit? Anyone wishing to suggest emacs or another editor as a solution can send replies to root@localhost. :-) -- Paul Heinlein <> [email protected] <> http://www.madboa.com/ _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
