Question

Within printf format strings, the placement characters, from % to the corresponding d, or x appear in dark blue. With a black background, they are very hard to read.

To change the color, I know I have to change the color with a command like this:

highlight Comment ctermfg=Cyan

But I have to put the correct syntax group name instead of Comment.

Does anyone know what this syntax group name is?

Answer 1

It’s cFormat. You can check what group is under the cursor by executing:

:echo synIDattr(synID(line("."),col("."),1),"name")
