I was trying to understand if it has a meaning in the highlight context. I'm going through an online book, Learn Vimscript the Hard Way and in the following chapter, http://learnvimscriptthehardway.stevelosh.com/chapters/46.html, it talks about the # symbol not being in iskeyword in the context of comments and highlighting and I can't figure out why this matters. I think I'm getting the meaning of this option, i.e. it defines what a word is, but why it matters in highlighting, that is not clear to me. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
