Syntax rules can be used, or highlighting with matchad(). One approach would be to use this tip (it uses matchadd()): http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Highlight_multiple_words Use :Hsample to show a sample of the hightlights, which you can change by editing the supplied highlights.csv file. Assuming you want the same highlights over several sessions, you could put commands like these in a file (say my.vim): Hi 7 alpha Hi 8 beta Hi 9 gamma.delta In Vim, use this command to source (apply) the commands: :so my.vim The '.' in 'gamma.delta' matches any character. It's an easy way of highlighting 'gamma delta' (with a space). Hmmm, looking at the tip I see that I had forgotten about :Hsave and :Hrestore which would be another way to save settings.
