New issue 325 by [email protected]: Background color for inactive windows /
per window
https://code.google.com/p/vim/issues/detail?id=325
I have created a plugin which uses a hack to highlight the current window
by dimming the inactive ones: https://github.com/blueyed/vim-diminactive
It does this by using the 'cursorcolumn' setting and/or 'syntax=off'.
While this works quite OK, there are several issues with this method:
1. Performance!
2. It does not handle long lines properly (a maximum of 256 columns can be
highlighted using &cursorcolumn.
3. It does not handle non-lines ("~").
I could imagine having a new colorscheme highlighting group for this
(background of inactive windows) instead.
Apart from that I could also imagine some windows-local variable to control
the background color for it. That would make it more flexible, and allow
to use different colors per buffer type for example (quickfix etc).
