Vim (source code), short for Vi IMproved, is a configurable text editor often used as a Python development environment.
VIM is an alternative and advanced version of VI editor that enables Syntax highlighting feature in VI. Syntax highlighting means it can show some parts of text in another fonts and colors. VIM doesn't show whole file but have some limitations in highlighting particular keywords or text matching a pattern in a file.
Press 1 to highlight the current visually selected text, or the current word (if nothing is selected). Highlight group hl1 is used. Press 2 for highlight hl2 , 3 for highlight hl3 , etc. Press 0 to remove all highlights from the current visually selected text, or the current word.
The command to enable syntax highlighting in vim is :syntax on, if you want it to be active everytime you launch vim, just add a line containing syntax on in your .vimrc file.
