Text in quotations ' ' or " " are highlighted

[esn89]

Right now, I don't know if this is a feature. I have a feeling it isn't. My code right now looks like this:

As you can see, there is a bit of highlighting going on, on the words 'ycmd' and 'third_party'.

Any ideas as to why, or how to get rid of this?

I have a feeling this is a feature. At least, I like it. :smile:

@esn89 Thanks. Yes, that is a feature. At one point, I considered making a Shout called Clear Skies that would toggled the String background color on and off. I'll consider adding that feature if more people request it. In the meantime, the best way to remove the background highlight is a work around. Open your copy .vim/colors/alduin.vim and add this snippet to the very bottom of the file

" Removes String Background Color:
highlight String ctermbg=none guibg=none

Just remember that if you ever update or clone alduin again you'll have to add it back in. Please let me know if the code I gave you works out. I'll leave this ticket open so others can share their thoughts.

@AlessandroYorba thank you for your help. That works like a charm and I love it.

@esn89 great Thank you for your input, I will in fact work on a setting to toggle that option on and off. I'll repost here to notify you.

Thanks!

@esn89 better late than never? In the latest commit you can now disable the background highlight for Strings. let g:alduin_Shout_Animal_Allegiance = 1 colo alduin

Noooooooo! 9e6fe2f Did you remove the string highlighting completely? I liked this. At least change the default and leave it optional. =)
