Re: Vim - syntax highlighting

[Francisco Diaz Trepat - gmail <francisco.diaztrepat@xxxxxxxxx>]

Are you sure you're not using the "vi" shortcut from busybox?

I type vim, or some times the App-Shortcut/link/whatever that is was placed in my applications panel with the Vim logo, after installing vim from the appmanager.

�

Are you trying to run /usr/bin/vim directly? Try typing just "vi" (no arguments), it should show the vim initial screen with "VIM - Vi IMproved" on the top.�

In this particular post (or because of the hour). it is not clear to me what do you mean. It appears to be a contradiction.

Anyways, the only difference I notice between �Terminal >> type[vi] � � � and � � �Terminal >> type[vim] is that when I type (i) to insert the word INSERT is placed at the bottom of the screen between hyphens, and characters are purple, and the screen (because I changed it for my terminal output) is black.

In None of them appears the splash screen, only the INSERT or EDIT words for the modes. Instead of the I and nothing "" for the edit mode in regular vi.

I really don't know how what else to say, except please be patient.�

I Installed vim from the app-manager, that places an icon in applications, whether I hit that Icon or type the word [vim] in the Terminal application, the first (purple letters) screen appears.�I don't ever type vi. And In the purple screen.

Should I uninstall it and re-install it by apt, should I download it from the site vim.org, compile it?

Is there a configuration or filesys option that is required and I might not have?�

For instance I learn earlier that I couldn't execute Go (language) compiled sources inside MyDocs/whateverDirectory, instead because of vfat I had to copy the files (hellowworld sample) to the usr/bin and chmod from there to run it. then deleted to keep my /usr/bin clean.

May be I am missing something. Again to have an overview:

PR.1.2

Vim Editor installed from Maemo App-Manager (I have here the Extas-Devel catalog but I thing Vim was there before I added this catalog so no problem)

have ~/.vimrc with [syntax on, set background="" �(note: separated by comma only here, not in real file)

have ~/.vim/syntax/ directory

have ~/.vim/syntax/go.vim (syntax for Go language)

have ~/.vim/colors/ directory (testing midnight2 theme)

have ~/.vim/colors/midnight2.vim

Should I have any Environment Variables that indicate the location to my ~./vimrc to vim?

Definitely there is something wrong with my installation.

even if I set background="" from the command

:set background="">

:set bg=dark

:set bg "dark"

it doesn't do anything.

What can I do?
