Indubitably. I turned on syntax highlighting once. Never again. (Couldn't read my code until it was off.) <Shudder> When needing to confirm a matching brace, I just whack %, or watch the cursor flick on closing brace insertion, with "showmatch" set. ISTM very intuitive that compounding excessive layers of highlighting results in no net highlighting, after a point. Failure of efforts to lay it on thicker seems to confirm that. (Though a blinking cursor might be a last gasp in that direction. :-) Erik -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
