Re: Perl syntax coloring using vim

[traveler]

If I telnet to my Linux box I get similar behavior. I can fix it if I set the terminal type properly. Be sure that the TERM environment variable on Solaris accurately reflects a terminal with the most capabilities you have. Then start vim and do ":se all" (without the quotes) to see if vim's idea of the terminal jives with Solaris'.

TERM! That's it! OK, I'm playing with setting the term variable. So far "sun-color" is the closest to "right". It will display the colors correctly, but doesn't redraw the screen. Nevertheless, I think I'm on the right track. Thanks!

I ran across this one too.

If i remember correctly, setting TERM=dtterm worked well enough for me.

Let us know how it goes.

Great, dtterm works, although vim would not recognize many of the keys, e.g. home, end, etc. TERM=xtermc on the other hand works perfectly (sunos 5.6 -> linux) Rgds
