I updated from 7.4 to 8.0 last night and vim stopped honoring the highlight
commands in my .vimrc
file.
Minimal complete example: with a .vimrc
that contains only the following
" a comment
sy enable
hi Comment ctermfg=darkCyan
the comment on line 1 is still blue when I open that file. (However when I re-source it via :so %
it becomes cyan, so the file itself works).
I also tried defining a user colorscheme (and even naming it colors/default.vim
) but it does not work any better.
