What Identifier means will depend on the syntax script for the filetype of the current buffer. The other highlight groups you mentioned pertain to the editor itself, and don't change when your buffer's filetype setting changes. > Where can I look? Can I query a running Vim for help about that? Try running :syntax to see what highlight groups are defined for the current buffer, and what regexes each highlight group match. :highlight works closely with :syntax. You'll need at least a basic understanding of each to grok what's going on. You can start by reading :help :hi-link :help :syntax I hope this helps. -- Erik Falor Registered Linux User #445632 http://counter.li.org
