I'm well aware the Bandit colour scheme isn't for everyone!

A the moment, every highlight group is linked to 'Keyword', so they
should all be highlighted with your chosen colour scheme without any
effort (if that colour scheme doesn't provide a better definition).
Of course, this assumes that 'Keyword' is highlighted in some way.
For example, using the built in 'desert' colour scheme, everything
comes out in a rather sickly shade of yellow!
If you want more customisation then it gets a bit more difficult. I
would like to come up with something a bit more generic than my colour
scheme (e.g. a plugin that can be used to make any colour scheme
really easily), but I haven't had a chance to do it yet. That might
be the best way.
If you have any other suggestions, please pass them along. At the
minimum, you could always do (in a custom colour scheme file):
" This is vimfiles/colors/mycolours.vim
runtime! colors/desert.vim
let g:colors_name = "mycolours"
hi Class guifg=blue
hi EnumerationValue guifg=green
" etc...
This will effectively 'subclass' the desert colour scheme and add the
custom definitions that you want. Hopefully this doesn't require too
much in depth knowledge of colour schemes then...
Hope that is of some help. Let me know if I can help any more.
Al
