Hmm, I never noticed that during my casual visits to vi-land. I'll definitely look into that, it's probably time to read up on how to massage vi's settings...

- burgerbrain 15y agoIf you want syntax highlighting you should be using Vim, not Vi. On many (but not all!) modern systems 'vi' will invoke Vim in compat mode forcing you to manually reenable Vim's additional features. Some modern systems come with a Vi provided by elvis or even busybox, always check what you're actually using.
- Udo 15y agoAlright, I promise I will check it out. I admit I do feel a bit behind the curve for being a programmer for so long while never really having looked into vi in depth.
