This is just a short entry to record what I used for some code high-lighting for C++ in Vim. I don't know if it is the best, but it certainly changed the dull grey to something more interesting: vim-cpp-enhanced-highlight.
Some day I will need to use Vundle to handle plugins, but as this is the first, I havn't gone there yet. I did the git clone, and ran the manual commands.
The final trick, in a Vim session, is:
:syntax on
A similar one is vim-cpp-modern - the author does say it is based upon the other one. So I should try this one at some point.
