I use konsole with black background and white foreground on Debian Etch,
vim 7.0.122
$ cat .vimrc
set hls
syn enable
With this configuration, if I do
set background=dark
and search for the word kamaraju, then text highlighted inside the comments
is very difficult to read. More over it is very difficult to see the cursor
(when it is inside the comments and on the word kamaraju) position.
Is there any way to use background=dark and hls together and edit a C file
(which includes comments) efficiently?
thanks

If you don't set 'background' at all, what is the default? I would expect it
to be set to "dark" in your kind of console terminal. If it isn't try changing
your vimrc to
set hls bg=dark
sy on
or even to
set nocompatible
if ! has("gui_running")
set bg=dark
endif
runtime vimrc_example.vim
set hls
so that (in both cases) the 'background' option is set correctly before
turning syntax highlighting on.
When I use Vim on /dev/tty (pure-text console, default colors lightgrey on
black), 'background' is set to "dark" by default, and I get lightgrey on brown
as 'hlsearch' colours. In konsole, 'bg' is set to "light" by default, even in
a lightgrey-on-black scheme. If I set it to "dark" I still get Search
highlight in lightgrey on brown.
If that doesn't suit you, you can look into the colorschemes that come with
Vim (in $VIMRUNTIME/colors), those available at vim-online, or you can write
your own. It isn't hard: I'm appending a simple example.
See
:help :colorscheme
:view $VIMRUNTIME/colors/README.txt
Best regards,
Tony.
