I use something like this to warn me when I'm getting to a line length of 90-ish:
set textwidth=92 ░░░░
set colorcolumn=-0,-1,-2,-3 ░░░░
hi ColorColumn ctermbg=3 ctermfg=0 ░░░░
I'd like to also highlight the columns past the line length in another color, like:
set colorcolumn2=+1,+2,+3,+4,+5,+6,+7,+8,+9,+10 ░░░░▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
"or: execute "set cc=+" . join(range(1,255), ',+') ░░░░▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
hi ColorColumn2 ctermbg=1 ctermfg=15 ░░░░▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
I don't think there is such a thing as colorcolumn2, but is there some way to accomplish this?
execute "set colorcolumn=+" . join(range(1,255), ',+')hi OverLength ctermbg=1 ctermfg=15match OverLength /\%>88v.\%<94v/ " lines (88,93)It's subtler, and only highlights the first few columns on lines that are that long.matchadd(), but it only highlights cells that have actual text so it's not really identical tocolorcolumn. I'm not sure if there's a good set the background colour for parts of the screen that don't have text (related old question with a very ugly workaround: Is it possible to use two different color backgrounds in a single vim buffer?)
