Question

Is it possible to get vim syntax highlighting in ConEmu?

Answer 1

Note. Some updated information may exists on the project site.

Well, builds since 130120 supports 256 colors in vim. You need to

• Check options “Inject ConEmuHk” and “ANSI X3.64 / xterm 256 colors” on “Features” page
• Check option “TrueMod (24bit color) support” on “Colors” page

• Edit your vimrc file, sample lines are here. Of course, you need some 256-color vim scheme, it is zenburn in the last line of this example.

  set term=xterm
  set t_Co=256
  let &t_AB="\e[48;5;%dm"
  let &t_AF="\e[38;5;%dm"
  colorscheme zenburn
  

• And “vim” must be vim.exe ATM.

Note. ‘Original’ Vim (Win32 console executable from gvim##.exe and vim##w32.zip) passed tests. MinGW’s Vim fails to switch to using Ansi sequences.
