1. Colorizer Manual *Colorizer-manual*
==============================================================================
Functionality
This plugin is based on the css_color plugin by Nikolaus Hofer. The idea is to
highlight color names and codes in the same color that they represent.
The plugin understands the W3C colors (used for CSS files for example), the
color names from the X11 Window System and also codes in hex notation, like
#FF0000 (which represents Red in the RGB color system). Additionally, it
supports the CSS color specifications, e.g. rgb(RR,GG,BB) color representation
in either absolute or percentage values and also the HVL color
representation like hvl(H,V,L)
It works best in the gui version of Vim, but the plugin also supports 256 and
88 color terminals and translates the colors to those supported by the
terminal. 16 and 8 color terminals should work theoretically too, but have not
been widely tested. Note that translating the colors to the terminal might
impose a performance penalty, depending on the terminal type and the number of
matches in the file.
This plugin defines the following commands:
*:ColorHighlight*
:[range]ColorHighlight[!] [args]
Scan the lines given by [range] for color code names and highlight those. If
[range] is omitted, the whole file will be scanned. If the ! is used, the
plugin will redefine all highlighting groups. If ! is not used, it will
skip patterns, that would take too long and make Vim unresponsive.
[args] can by any of "syntax" or "match". "syntax" means to convert the
highlighting to syntax highlighting. This is useful, so a plugin like
|2html.vim| can convert the colors correctly to HTML. The default is
"match", which uses the |matchadd()| function. (Prepending "no" is
supported and will disable that setting and use the opposite).
*:ColorClear*
:ColorClear Turn off color highlighting.
*:RGB2Term*
:RGB2Term <color> Translate the color code given as argument to
the closest color that can be displayed in the
terminal. The color must be given in the
format #RRGGBB (the hex format of the colors red,
green and blue (the '#' is optional), or
alternatively like rgb(X,X,X)
Uses the number of colors your terminal is capable
of (or 256 colors for gVim).
*:HSL2RGB*
:HSL2RGB hsl(h,v,l) Translate the HVL color defined by the string
'hsl(h,v%,l%)' into a color that the current
terminal can display. Note that the color must be
given in the format 'hsl(HH, V, L)' where HH
defines the Hue as absolute value between 0 and
255 and V and L represent a percentage for value
and Lightness.
*:Term2RGB*
:Term2RGB number Translate terminal color <number> to an RGB color
(using the xterm 256 color cube).
*:ColorContrast*
:ColorContrast Switch between all different color contrast
settings (foreground colors).
*:ColorSwapFgBg*
:ColorSwapFgBg Switch between foreground and background colors.
This will toggle in 3 ways. From Swapping
foreground and background colors, to only
highlighting the foreground color back to normal
foreground background color.
*:ColorToggle*
:ColorToggle Switch between highlighting colors and no
highlighting.
==============================================================================
2 Colorizer Configuration *Colorizer-config*
==============================================================================
2.1 Automatic loading *Colorizer-auto*
---------------------
The Colorizer plugin can be configured to automatically load when opening a
new file. Note that this might slow down the loading process, especially on
the terminal. To enable this, simply set the variable 'g:colorizer_auto_color'
to 1, e.g. by defining it in your |.vimrc| >
:let g:colorizer_auto_color = 1
<
(Not recommended, see below at |Colorizer-hl-ft| for the preferred way)
2.2 Automatically highlight filetypes *Colorizer-hl-ft*
-------------------------------------
If you want to have certain filetypes automatically highlighted, you can use
the variable g:colorizer_auto_filetype, e.g. to enable highlighting for
HTML and CSS files by default, add the following to your |.vimrc|: >
:let g:colorizer_auto_filetype='css,html'
<
After restarting Vim, the plugin will become active whenever the filetype is
set to either html or css.
2.3 Skip coloring comments *Colorizer-comments*
--------------------------
You can skip comments from being colored by setting the variable
g:colorizer_skip_comments to 1: >
:let g:colorizer_skip_comments = 1
<
The plugin will skip all matches of color codes and names that appear inside
comments (this only works when syntax highlighting is enabled |:syn-on|)
Note however, that if the same color is used inside comments and outside
comments, it will also be highlighted inside the comments, because
coloring is done matching only the color pattern and once this is done outside
of comments, this will also match inside comments.
2.4 Adjust the contrast *Colorizer-contrast*
-----------------------
Colorizer can be adjusted to blur the contrast between foreground and
background color. For this, the variable 'g:colorizer_fgcontrast' can be used.
It can be given any value between -1 and 2 with 2 being the default. Each
smaller value will decrease the contrast a little bit, with -1 being special,
as there is the foreground color equals the background color. Use
|:ColorContrast| to cycle through the different values.
2.5 Highlight colornames *Colorizer-hl-names*
------------------------
If for any reason you don't want the plugin to highlight colornames, you can
prevent this by setting the g:colorizer_colornames variable to 0, e.g. put >
:let g:colorizer_colornames = 0
<
into your |.vimrc|
2.6 Use X11 colornames *Colorizer-names*
----------------------
Colorizer can be configured to support all color names defined by the X11
Window System. By default it only supports the colors defined by the W3C for
the CSS specification. To use the X11 color names, set the variable
'g:colorzer_x11_names' to 1, e,g. put in your |.vimrc| >
let g:colorizer_x11_names = 1
<
2.7 Use syntax highlighting *Colorizer-syntax*
---------------------------
The plugin by default uses the |matchadd()| functions for highlighting colors
on the fly. Unfortunately, this is a problem, if you want to have the result
successfully transformed to a HTML file using the |2html.vim| plugin. Therefore,
the Colorizer plugin can also convert the highlighting to correct syntax
highlighting. Use either the >
:ColorHighlight syntax
<
command (see |:ColorHighlight|) or set the variable 'g:colorizer_syntax' to 1,
e.g. in your |.vimrc| put >
let g:colorizer_syntax = 1
<
2.8 Specify pattern to highlight *Colorizer-pattern*
--------------------------------
By default, Colorizer detects the following patterns and highlights them as
hex colors (for better readability it is separated into 3 parts): >
# %(\x\{3}\|\x\{6}\) \%(\>\|[-_]\)\@=/'
<
This means it always looks for a '#' followed by either a 3 or 6 hexadecimal
digits denoting the RGB hex color codes, followed by either the word-boundary
(|/\>|), a hyphen or a underscore. But only the first and middle part will be
highlighted (i.e. the RGB color codes).
You can of course specify a different pattern for your needs by setting the
g:colorizer_hex_pattern variable. e.g. to display '#RRGGBB' and have all of it
highlighted, use >
let g:colorizer_hex_pattern = ['#', '\%(\x\{3}\|\x\{6}\)', '']
2.9 Colorizing Taskwarrior files *Colorizer-taskwarrior-files*
--------------------------------
For taskwarrior files, this plugin can also highlight those colors. By
default, this will only work, if the file name ends with '.theme'
For an example, see this website:
http://taskwarrior.org/news/182
2.10 Colorizing vim syntax files *Colorizer-vim-files*
--------------------------------
Colorizer also supports highlighting vim syntax files. For this to work, the
'filetype' must be set to vim, then the plugin tries to identify the colors
and highlight them.
2.11 Use custom colornames *Colorizer-custom-colornames*
--------------------------
You can add separate colornames to be colored. For this to work, set the
variable g:colorizer_custom_colors to your liking, e.g. like this: >
let g:colorizer_custom_colors = { 'blue': '#ff0000'}
Guess what, this will color the word blue in red.
2.12 Colorizing :highlight statements *Colorizer-vim-hi*
-------------------------------------
Colorizer also supports highlighting |:hi| statements, that are used by vim
colorschemes and syntax files as well as a dump of the |:hi| command
To colorizer :hi statements, the 'filetype' must be set to vim, while for :hi
dumps, the 'filetype' must be empty.
==============================================================================
3. Colorizer Mappings *Colorizer-maps*
==============================================================================
By default, the Colorizer plugin does not map any key, so that it won't
pollute the global mapping namespace. If you want however to have the
following default maps set up, set the global variable g:colorizer_auto_map
in your |.vimrc| like this: >
:let g:colorizer_auto_map = 1
<
This will set up the following key mappings (if they are not already taken):
Keys Name Function
---- ---- --------
<Leader>cC <Plug>Colorizer Toggle highlighting of Colors. In visual
mode it only highlights the colors in the
selected region (normal and visual mode).
<Leader>cT <Plug>ColorContrast Cycle through contrast setting
|:ColorContrast| (normal and visual mode)
<Leader>cF <Plug>ColorFgBg Toggle foreground and background color
|:ColorSwapFgBg|
It uses the prefix <leader>c to set all functionality up. By default, <Leader>
is defined as '\' (|<Leader>|). Use the name provided in the second column to
map the function to a different key.
==============================================================================
4. Colorizer Tips *Colorizer-tips*
==============================================================================
You can enable the plugin to be loaded for certain filetypes automatically.
This makes sense for example for CSS files or HTML files. To do so, create the
following autocommand in your |.vimrc| >
:au BufNewFile,BufRead *.css,*.html,*.htm :ColorHighlight!
<
This will automatically highlight all existing color codes and names if you
edit either a HTML file or a CSS file. Note that this does not update the
highlighting, after you have been changing the file.
The recommended way to do this is to use the g:colorizer_auto_filetype
variable and set this to the desired filetypes. |Colorizer-hl-ft|
*Colorizer-slowdown*
----------------
Slow performance
----------------
Depending on your file, any of the highlighting functions might cause an
performance decrease. This can be analyed, by setting the variable
g:colorizer_debug to 1 in e.g. your |.vimrc| like this: >
:let g:colorizer_debug = 1
<
The next time, you call |:ColorHighlight|, the plugin will output runtime
statistics, from which you can see, which function caused the slowdowns.
Consider this output:
Colorstatistics at: 12:20 `
Duration: 0.034110 `
colornames: 0.030865s `
hex: 0.000968s `
hsla: 0.000350s `
rgb: 0.000354s `
rgba: 0.000491s `
taskwarrior: 0.000020s `
term: 0.000219s `
term_conceal: 0.000105s `
vimcolors: 0.000036s `
vimhighl_dump: 0.000025s `
vimhighlight: 0.000025s `
From this you can see, that the colorname highlighting caused the largest
slowdown, it took 0.03 seconds to complete. This is expected, as the
colornames pattern is long and contains many branches.
Functions with a value less then 100 have probably been skipped and were not
being executed.
If you want to skip certain functions, you can set the variable
g:colorizer_<name>_disable and then those functions won't be called anymore
(e.g. do disable the colorname highlighting, put in your |.vimrc| this: >
let g:colorizer_colornames_disable = 1
<
If the slowdown is still noticeable, you might want to create
a new issue at the plugins repository (|Colorizer-feedback|). You should
provide a sample file, so that I will be able to reproduce the issue.
Note, this needs a Vim with the |+reltime| feature.
