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....
Heh, I'm in your camp...it was more "unfortunately" for the OP.
I can't say it's a "feature" I've ever wanted ;-)
You're kidding, surely ;)
I'm working on systems for live-coding - programming music live in
front of an audience (http://www.toplap.org/uk has some info) - so
it's pretty unusual in that I'm using vim's display in part to
entertain a crowd (!). Thanks for the input folks.
Hello,
I would suggest trying to change the highlight color rather than
changing the syntax. For example,
hi Comment guifg=#ff00ff
I suspect that change would occur faster, plus the #rrggbb specification
makes for reasonably fine adjusting.
If you're only highlighting a word, perhaps you should use :match
(:2match, :3match).
How do you intend to get the information as to what/how to highlight
into vim? Perhaps the clientserver interface could be used for this.
Regards,
Chip Campbell
