>The command is not "SynColor", but rather "hi". You could put it in your colorscheme. Better yet, just pick a different group to link it to by default than Cursor. See :help group-name for a list of recommended names to link to. Probably you want the "Todo" group name.


Thanks Ben. That is where I was getting confused - with groups and such. So, I can follow your direction and end up with the word "TODO" highlighted one way (fg-Yellow, bg-Black) and the word "NOTE" highlighted another (fg-LightRed, bg-Black)?
