Unfortunately, this isn't exactly something Vim was designed to do.
Not sure I agree with the 'unfortunately' part.... Realtime colour changes sound pretty crazy to me! I can imagine a use or two, but even so.... I suspect the best way to do this would be to do one or more of the following: - Change Vim source code to do the colour changes in realtime, responding to some external input. - Steal the bits of the Vim source code that implement --remote-send and make your own C program that sends changes to a running Vim in realtime as desired. But I still reckon it's bordering on insane! Grins, Ben. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. For more information, visit http://www.vim.org/maillist.php
