You cannot do anything except for set options in a modeline, for security reasons. I believe there are plugins out there which would allow you to do something like this, but I would not recommend them. Instead, you could make sure you have Vim 7.3 or higher, and simply use the colorcolumn option. This can be used in a modeline like any other option. It looks like you have multiple columns highlighted. What is the purpose of this? Perhaps it is better in your .vimrc after all. Why do you want it in a modeline anyway? -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
