Adding color to VIM and Cygwin

These are notes-to-self more than anything, but maybe you can use them. You can add colorized text to Vim by adding the following to .vimrc in your $HOME directory:

" Switch syntax highlighting on, when the terminal has colors
" Also switch on highlighting the last used search pattern.
if &t_Co > 2 || has("gui_running")
  syntax on
  set hlsearch
endi

If you don't have this file, you can create it using :mkv. You can change your font-settings by editing them with Edit >> Select Font and then typing :set guifont, followed by :mkv!. I prefer Courier New, 9pt.

If you want colors for file listings (using ls) in Cygwin, add the following to your .bashrc file in your $HOME directory:

alias ls="ls -CF --color"

All roads lead to Raible... Even my random Cygwin questions. Your blog is gold. I'll skip google next time, just for grins. ;)
