Plugin works in TUI not GUI

[Julius Hamilton]

I recently installed the plugin txtfmt and used it successfully in Vim TUI mode.

It is activated with the command :set ft=txtfmt. Then, to highlight a region, you enter \h, then it prompts you for a color.

I can confirm the installation in Gvim was successful with the command :MakeTestPage.

For some reason, :set ft=txtfmt has not returned the expected confirmation message, and appears to do nothing.

Could anyone shed light on why this might be?

Thank you very much,

Julius

You are making a category error: what you have trouble with is txtfmt, not Vim. Instead of spamming Vim's mailing list, I would suggest you use the txtfmt's dedicated issue tracker.

Let's be tolerant, we can't expect every plugin to have a place to ask
questions. Sure, if a plugin has it's own way to discuss problems,
please go there. But otherwise the vim-use maillist can be used. And
someone may point to a better place. It's not like vim-use is that
overloaded.

This mailing list is indeed far from overloaded but, case in point, the plugin in question does have an issue tracker: https://github.com/bpstahlman/txtfmt/issues.

When there is a difference between Vim in TUI en GVim, mostly that is
because of some setting in your .vimrc file. Finding the setting that
triggers different behavour can be a challenge though...
