...With me it doesn't: I just did a :helpgrep, and the current quickfix
item didn't get _any_ highlighting: with the cursor on it,
:echomsg synIDattr(synID(line("."),col("."),0),"name")
synIDattr(synIDtrans(synID(line("."),col("."),0)),"name")
synIDattr(synID(line("."),col("."),1),"name")
synIDattr(synIDtrans(synID(line("."),col("."),1)),"name")
...didn't display anything. Or if it did, it was because there was
some highlighted syntax item (such as between |bars|) just under the
cursor.
I'm using gvim 7.4.16 (Huge) with GTK2/GNOME2 GUI.
I'm using vim 7.3 on Windows 7. When I issue:
:echomsg synIDattr(synID(line("."),col("."),0),"name")
:echomsg synIDattr(synIDtrans(synID(line("."),col("."),0)),"name")
:echomsg synIDattr(synID(line("."),col("."),1),"name")
:echomsg synIDattr(synIDtrans(synID(line("."),col("."),1)),"name")
I get:
qfFileName
Directory
qfFileName
Directory
It's interesting that you don't see the current quickfix item
highlighted. I thought that maybe I set something to turn on
quickfix highlighting, but I can't seem to find the switch. I
searched the web and the quickfix help to see if quickfix is
*suppose* to highlight the current item by default, but didn't find
indications of that either.
I get the same as you do if I do :copen first. What I referred to was
the current quickfix item as found _in the text_ by :cnext, with no
quickfix window actually open.
I see this item as blue on white, and doing ":verbose hi qfFileName"
in the quickfix window gives
qfFileName xxx links to Directory
Last set from /usr/local/share/vim/vim74/syntax/qf.vim
The Search highlight, OTOH, is black on yellow. Not at all the same
thing for me, which makes me ask: Which colorscheme are you using?
To link qfFileName to something else, or to define specific colours
for it, just use a new or modified colorscheme.
To modify a colorscheme, first copy it to ~/.vim/colors/ (for *x
systems) or to ~/vimfiles/colors (for Windows), change its name, and
modify it there (including setting g:colors_name to the new name);
then alter the calling line so that it calls the new name. It is not
possible to invoke colorschemes recursively (or at least, I tried and
didn't succeed).
Sorry, Tony -- I need to differ with you on this.
syntax/qf.vim is a syntax file; it is not a colorscheme, and it is
unnecessary to modify or alter any colorschemes.
Instead, if you wish to override qfFileName, etc, put your alterations into
$HOME/after/syntax/qf.vim
Therein, you may put things such as
hi link qfFileName Special
hi qfSeparator guifg=SeaGreen1 guibg=orange3
Doing so will override syntax/qf.vim's selection of default colors.
