Select 'v' Issue

[Ajay Jain]

Hi,

When I use the 'v' key and select a few lines, the color of the
selection is so light grey, that I fail to see what has been selected.
Could you tell me how to solve the issue?

Regards,
Ajay.

Hi,

execute this command

highlight Visual ctermbg=DarkGray guibg=DarkGray

after you have selected you color scheme.

Change color scheme?

For convenient color scheme rotation see in vim tips the tip # 955.

Based on this I've added following to my .vimrc:
function! SetNextColor(forward)
if exists('g:colors_name')
let colstr = 'default elflord peachpuff desert256 breeze morning'
let colstr .= ' darkblue gothic aqua earth black_angus relaxedgreen'
let colstr .= ' darkblack freya motus impact less chocolateliquor'
let missing = []
let colors = split(colstr)
let current = index(colors, g:colors_name)
for i in range(len(colors))
let current += (a:forward ? 1 : -1)
if !(0 <= current && current < len(colors))
let current = (a:forward ? 0 : len(colors)-1)
endif
try
execute 'colorscheme '.colors[current]
break
catch /E185:/
call add(missing, colors[current])
endtry
endfor
redraw
if len(missing) > 0
echo 'Error: colorscheme not found:' join(missing)
endif
echo g:colors_name
endif
endfunction
nnoremap <F7> :call SetNextColor(1)<CR>
nnoremap <S-F7> :call SetNextColor(0)<CR>

HTH,

For a color-scheme switcher that doesn't require hard-coding a
list of colorschemes, this thread[1] offers my solution to the
problem a while back.

As I've noted in the above tip, I have put all the color scheme rotation code in a
somewhat enhanced version at tip 341 (and will soon delete what's on 955):
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Switch_color_schemes

The enhanced version includes the point that Tim mentioned, namely the ability to
rotate among all the installed color schemes (without needing a built-in list).
However, the idea of building in a list of color scheme names was for those people
who wanted to rotate among a selected few schemes.
