I just installed Vim7.3 and went to tweak my colorscheme for the new
ColorColumn feature.
I had an existing highlight group called LineTooLong for a similar
feature implemented using matchadd() for v7.2, so I tried adding this
at the end of the colorscheme:
highlight link ColorColumn LineTooLong
It has no effect.
I tried manually typing the command afterwards, and get:
E414: group has settings, highlight link ignored
:verbose highlight ColorColumn says it's set in my colorscheme file,
but I have no other mention of ColorColumn in my colorscheme file.
I'm currently using a custom colorscheme loosley based on the "pablo"
colorscheme, and I noticed that it sets background=dark at the top. I
thought maybe this was where it was setting ColorColumn, but
commenting out the line had no effect.
For now I've just duplicated the settings for LineTooLong, but does
anyone know why I cannot simply use hi link for the ColorColumn? Where
is this highlight group actually set up?
Try
hi clear ColorColumn
hi link ColorColumn LineTooLong
ColorColumn is a default highlight group, defined in syntax.c currently
at line 6568 for vim 7.3 .
