ConEmu: Vim Syntax Highlight

Question

Is it possible to get vim syntax highlighting in ConEmu?

Answer 1

Note. Some updated information may exists on the project site.

Well, builds since 130120 supports 256 colors in vim. You need to

• Check options "Inject ConEmuHk" and "ANSI X3.64 / xterm 256 colors" on "Features" page
• Check option "TrueMod (24bit color) support" on "Colors" page

• Edit your vimrc file, sample lines are here. Of course, you need some 256-color vim scheme, it is zenburn in the last line of this example.

  set term=xterm
  set t_Co=256
  let &t_AB="\e[48;5;%dm"
  let &t_AF="\e[38;5;%dm"
  colorscheme zenburn
  

• And "vim" must be vim.exe ATM.

Note. 'Original' Vim (Win32 console executable from gvim##.exe and vim##w32.zip) passed tests. MinGW's Vim fails to switch to using Ansi sequences.

Answer 2

I know is an old question. But what worked for me was similar to the selected answer except that instead of setting term to xterm, set it to pcansi that way the keyboard keys will still work. For ConEmu in the %HOMEPATH%_vimrc

if !empty($CONEMUBUILD)
    set term=pcansi
    set t_Co=256
    let &t_AB="\e[48;5;%dm"
    let &t_AF="\e[38;5;%dm"
    set bs=indent,eol,start
    colorscheme wombat256
endif
