When tweaking color themes, one thing I really miss is a highlighting that would color the color strings with the corresponding color.
Maybe this sounds confusing? An example: here is a fragment of a Vim theme:
hi Constant ctermfg=Magenta guifg=Magenta
hi Special ctermfg=Red guifg=Red
hi Identifier ctermfg=Cyan guifg=Green
I would like to have a syntax highlight that would color Magenta
in magenta, Red
in red, and so on,
similar to what happens with color codes for dircolors file:
01;34
is the color code for blue, thus Vim displays it in blue, 01;36
is cyan, etc.
I searched into the syntax directory for files with "color" in their name,
$ find . -iname '*color*'
./colortest.vim
./dircolors.vim
./syncolor.vim
but none of these do the job for the color strings.
Am I missing some resource or do I have to create my own syntax file?
