semshi VS python-syntax

Try https://github.com/numirias/semshi Semantic Highlighting for Python in Neovim

Yes, I think treesitter highlight is yet limited and still a mess. I am still sitting at semshi, but look forward to switching to treesitter completely in the future.

I use neovim with my transparent kitty terminal. Kitty doesn't make the actual letters transparent so they are still easy to see, just the background of the terminal. Then ontop of that my syntax highlighting is really intense (https://github.com/numirias/semshi) and my background is pretty dark (lots of blacks and dark blues and other dark complementing colors that are easy on the eyes) so text is still easy to see while still looking quite nice IMO.

One of the best and easiest way is using plugin numirias/semshi.

https://github.com/numirias/semshi gives pretty cool semantic highlighting.

Vim's highlighting is more limited. Vim uses regex for syntax highlighting as opposed to using ASTs. You can try looking in the Neovim direction instead. Here's some Neovim-only plugin https://github.com/numirias/semshi for python specifically.

It's describe under the highlights title in README : https://github.com/numirias/semshi#highlights

semshi is quite good.

This is a good starting point. Taking a peek, you are using vim-python/python-syntax. But you don't have any of the options listed in the Readme configured.

vim-python/python-syntax is the best I've used so far. I haven't seen any of the issues mentioned by /u/dutch_gecko about incorrect highlighting but it's most likely colorscheme dependent as they mentioned. I'm using joshdick/onedark.vim and added let g:python_highlight_all = 1 to my vimrc and haven't thought about it since.

I personally like [vim-python/python-syntax]([https://github.com/vim-python/python-syntax)

The easiest and least-effort way of getting this would be to use this extended and well-maintained version of the Python syntax file: https://github.com/vim-python/python-syntax It can be installed as a Vim plugin.
