Question

I am using typedef in a C file. I want to change the colour of those words that define a type to the colour used for data types. Can I do that?

Answer 1

There’s a plugin TagHighlight for vim to highlight classes, typedefs etc supporting different languages, which you can try.

TagHighlight is a plugin that highlights names of classes, variables,
types etc in source code in Vim. This makes it quicker and easier to
spot errors in your code. By using exuberant ctags and parsing the
output, the typedefs, #defines, enumerated names etc are all clearly
highlighted in different colours.
