    VIM editor question

    Is anyone in the group familiar with the VIM editor? I rather like it but
    any time I right click on a file and select "Edit with Vim" It opens the
    file in a rather ugly default color scheme.

    I'd love to know how to make it automatically open files I select in my
    favorite color scheme rather than having to go into the " EDIT "pull down
    menu and select my preferred Color Scheme every time I open a file.

    thanks for any wisdom you can share

    In your vim configuration file enter:

    colorscheme <name>

    Example:

    colorscheme elflord

    Restart vim.

      No! That's completely wrong.

      It should be:

      colorscheme moria
      set bg=dark

        I use vim on both Windows and UNIX/Linux, and found this vimrc file.


        It's pretty good and has good comments. You might want to take a look
        at that and customize it.

        Plus this is great:

            No, it's not *completely* wrong. Yes, I should have mentioned the
            bg=dark entry, but that doesn't make it *completely* wrong. you're
            just showing your preference for the moria colorscheme, which is fine,
            but don't say my suggestion is *completely* wrong.

            Cheers & Good Day.

              Er, I was kidding. Point being, it's totally customizable.

              I guess I should have included a smiley face for your literal-minded
              self.
