Syntax highlighting

Switching it on :syntax enable
If you always want to use syntax highlighting,
put the “:syntax enable” command in your |vimrc|
file.

Setting the filetype can also be done with a |modeline|, so that the file will be highlighted each time you edit it. For example, this line can be used in a Makefile (put it near the start or end of the file):

# vim: syntax=make

Select another color scheme, find in colors directory

:colorscheme evening

Tell Vim to always use your color scheme. Put
this line in your |vimrc|:

colorscheme mine

Disable syntax highlighting for a moment:

:syntax clear
