RE: Color Definition at VIM Invocation???

Thanks Ben, the following .vimrc file worked perfectly with my version 5.7 VIM to define additional colors not covered in the c syntax file:

set showcmd
set showmatch
set ignorecase
set incsearch
set autowrite
syntax on
set nocompatible
set tabstop=4
set textwidth=132

fun! LinkColorGroups()
highlight link cConditional VisualNOS
highlight link cRepeat VisualNOS
highlight link cStatement VisualNOS
highlight link cLabel VisualNOS
highlight link cStructure VisualNOS
highlight link cStorageClass VisualNOS
endfun

aug SetupColors
au!
au BufRead,BufNewFile * call LinkColorGroups()
aug END

The autocommand allowed the colors to be updated after the c syntax file initialized the colors. I will update to a later VIM in the near future.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I'm pretty sure syntax highlighting has always been triggered using autocmds, so probably this will work.

I'd try an autocmd like this first:

au Syntax c call LinkColorGroups

Since it's closer to what you're trying to accomplish.

But perhaps it won't work in a Vim as old as 5.7.
