Color Scheme for vim
I wanted to change the default color scheme for vim as i was editing some python code on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
The default color scheme is fugly for python and does not make for a pretty sight.
I wanted to change it and since vim is so widely used, why re invent the wheel.
Using my google fu, I found the following links to be useful.
1. http://askubuntu.com/questions/24544/what-is-the-default-vim-colorscheme
This explains where the default color scheme is stored in ubuntu or debian based systems.
Tl;dr - you can find out what color scheme you are using,
type
:colorscheme
To change the color scheme
:colorscheme
To find out the different colorschemes available in your system, go to
/usr/share/vim/vim73/colors
I now want to change the color scheme
