How do I highlight multiple words in vim?

Question

There is a cool vim script: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Highlight_multiple_words

I found the script today. This script is what I want exactly.

It works well with gvim 7.2. (Both of Windows and Linux)
But I wish I can use it on linux shell too. Unfortunately it doesn't work.

Is it possible? Or is there another script we can use.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I found the script.

You can download the script at here.
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2666

Just \m on the word you want to highlight.
You could select visual block then \m
And you could add more colors.

Answer 2

If you are fine with multiple words being highlighted in the same color, simply go to search mode (type / in normal mode) and search words that are separated by \|

/word_1\|word_2\|word_3

You can use n and N to navigate as usual.

Answer 3

put the plugins under %USERPROFILE%\vimfiles. maybe put the unixish .vimrc to %USERPROFILE%\_vimrc.
