Question

Vim 7.3 has a new option, colorcolumn.

I can set a colorcolumn color:

:hi ColorColumn ctermbg=lightgrey guibg=lightgrey

I can have how many colorcolumns I want, but I would like to know if it’s possible to have two colorcolumns, each one of them with different colors. Anyone knows if this is possible, or a hack to achieve it using only this new colorcolumn feature?

Answer 1

I couldn’t find a way. Fredrik’s answer is a hack not using colorcolumn, but doesn’t do exactly what I want.

I did a :h match and found the exactly line I need:

match OverLength /\%<73v.\%>72v/

…and, of course, the colorcolumn.
