When I edit a file with mvim
(Installed via MacVim) I see syntax highlighting in colour on a large range of files. However, when I edit with the built in vi
there is never syntax highlighting. Is there something you need to do?
Colour does work with other terminal commands, e.g. git
, ls
etc... The problem is only with vi
Im on latest OS X 10.11.5:
> vi -version
VIM - Vi IMproved 7.3 (2010 Aug 15, compiled Apr 5 2016 14:53:37)
mvim
no work needed. My question is about whyvi
isn't operating the same way.:syntax enable
?
