You can try matchadd() and experimentating with the priority instead of using a syntax match. I'm not sure whether you can override the colorcolumn, though, it may be always on top by design. I personally gave up on my whitespace highlight patterns in favor of :set list, and a 'listchars' setting which actually looks nice and includes a "trail" definition (using a bunch of fancy Unicode characters). -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
