Vim只突出显示〜/ .vimrc

Question

I am a new vim user and trying to turn on syntax coloring for vim on Mac OS X. I followed http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Turn_on_syntax_coloring_in_Mac_OS_X 's instructions, and my ~/.vimrc file has the following content

set term=builtin_ansi
filetype plugin indent on
syntax on

And the text above in ~/.vimrc is highlighted perfectly fine. However, whenever I use vim to edit a current text file or create a new one, I only see black and white text, and manually calling :syntax on does nothing. Any help is apprecaited!

Answer 1

You should remove that useless line:

set term=builtin_ansi

Do you use the default Vim? What filetypes are you editing?

Answer 2

You can use the :highlight command to list all defined groups (according to your colorscheme ). A plain text file probably has no filetype and therefore no syntax assigned; you want to try this with any programming language (eg *.py or *.c ) to see syntax highlighting in action.

Your ~/.vimrc looks fine. (Do you really need the :set term , though?!)
