Need help displaying colors in C files. I have the vim-css-color plugin but that doesn't seem to work in C

• vim-polyglot

  32 5,516 0.0 Vim Script

  A solid language pack for Vim.

Incidentally there is not a c.vim files anywhere in my ~/.vim. I did as you said and also tried u/Departure-Silver suggested and now I can finally see some color in my C files! Thanks for your time and detailed answer, sry if I was edgy earlier 😅 now that my stuff works I am a better person. One more thing, would it have any benefits to polyglot at this point? I am a student and have to learn C and some other languages properly

• nvim-colorizer.lua

  24 2,100 0.0 Lua

  The fastest Neovim colorizer.

Even though we're on r/vim, many people here actually use Neovim, so I have to ask: do you have tree-sitter? If so, you need to enable the additional_vim_regex_highlighting option of the highlight module in nvim-treesitter since vim-css-color depends on Vim's syntax highlighting rather than Neovim's. An alternative would be to use a Neovim plugin that does the same thing with tree-sitter support – e.g nvim-colorizer (I haven't tested it at all).

• color_coded

  4 873 0.0 C++

  Discontinued A vim plugin for libclang-based highlighting of C, C++, ObjC

I used to use https://github.com/jeaye/color_coded, which is good, but it has a ton of extra dependencies to install, and my experience was that it would get confused sometimes in non c files.

• nvim-treesitter

  300 9,487 9.9 Scheme

  Nvim Treesitter configurations and abstraction layer

  

This is the main reason I switched to neovim, and the syntax highlighting for c, among other things, is great. Treesitter for neovim is what i currently use: https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter
