bring color to cscope output in vim?

Question

I am using vim7.4. cscope output in vim is all white. can it be made more colorful?

I tried cecscope, which uses quickfix to bring color to vim. But the output of it is not small-screen friendly. it is not that useful when using a laptop.

so is there some other way to add color to cscope output? I like the ctags output in vim, or can cscope have the same style?

Thanks.

Answer 1

The default editor for Cscope is vi not VIM. Vi has no option for Syntax highlighting and other features of plugins etc. Just change the default editor to vim. All your Vim settings will come to Cscope output.

$ export CSCOPE_EDITOR=vim

Done.

For me, all the above suggestions didn't work.
What I was searching for is something like this:

I achieved it by gluing up several vim commands:

nnoremap * 
    \ :exec("cs find s ".expand("<cword>"))<CR> 
    \ :copen<CR> 

* - highlight word under cursor
:exec("cs find s ".expand("<cword>"))<CR> - cscope find word under cursor
:copen - open cscope search results window
