Since I moved to MacOS X I have been missing my good old elvis. Well, vim is an excelent editor. I am very often 'forced' to use it, since it is usally the default editor in most of Linux distributions, and it was the editor available here in MacOS X. Fortunatelly both editors are quite similar: on the compatibility with the original vi, and on some of the extensions. Therefore very often I can feel at vim like at home (like at elvis). This week I installed DarwinPorts and obviously my first application to download was elvis.
Well, compiling and installing it was easy, but I use a black over yellow terminal, and the default colours look really bad on my terminal. Therefore I changed the 'elvis.clr' a little bit:
case vio
case termcap {
color normal grey
color bold bold black
color char like string
color comment italic light green or green
color fixed light gray
color function cyan
color hexheading gray
color hlsearch bold
color keyword bold black
color libt like keyword
color linenumber gray
color link underlined blue or light cyan
color number light cyan or blue
color other like keyword
color prep bold magenta or blue
color prepquote like string
color regexp like string
color ruler blue
color showmode blue boxed
color spell red or light magenta
color string brown
color variable like normal
}
Maybe this could be useful for somebody, specially if they are working with light backgrounds.
