When I type :hi to see all the highlight groups, I only see as much as can fill the screen. How do I scroll through them?
:hi[ghlight] List all the current highlight groups that have
attributes set.
To show more results, I have to re-run the command to decrease the text size, but I can’t scroll up:
You can use j k or arrow keys or enter; it's the same as the less command:
SPACE/d/j: screen/page/line down, b/u/k: up, q: quit
If you cannot move with any of these options, it's perhaps a bug in your vim or config.
?to see available commands.:set more?Also, to rule out anything in your vimrc try:hiafter launching Vim with-u DEFAULTS. (This is all to check Vim settings. It could also be something amiss in your terminal settings.):put =execute('hi'), which executes:hibut captures its output (that's theexecute()part) and dumps it into the current buffer (:putwith the expression-register=.)
