Getting colors to work for ls and vim on Solaris 11
Just some quick notes, for myself and in case someone else ever wants this. In this day and age, I hate having to setup color on terminals ….colors make things very easy to see, quickly. So here are my notes so i don’t have to go spend time figuring it out yet again lol.
in your .profile or .bashrc
export TERM=xtermc
alias ls=”/usr/gnu/bin/ls -lah –color=auto”
in your .vimrc
syntax on
set showmatch
set bg=dark
set incsearch
set tabstop=4
set shiftwidth=4
set expandtab
set bs=2
bs=2 makes your backspace erase instead of inserting weird chars
syntax=on will enable color
the rest of it is just my personal settins in vim :)
