vim-cpp-modern VS python-syntax

mkdir pack mkdir pack/plugins mkdir pack/plugins/start cd ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/bfrg/vim-cpp-modern

I personally just use vim-cpp-modern because it supports C and C++ and highlights most things well. I've also tweaked it to highlight identifiers in most situations (so far it's correct for everything except C++ templates).

I’ve been using, and loving, this syntax highlighting plugin for C++, and one thing I love about it is that the names of STL types get highlighting. That’s real nice, but what I really want is similar syntax highlighting for my own classes, working across files.

As far as better syntax highlighting you can have a look at this for C++ and this for python.

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.
