Doesn't Automatically Color C Files

[hkdd]

VIM 8.2.1551

I've tried both:

let g:colorizer_auto_filetype='css,html,c' let g:colorizer_auto_color = 1

And when opening .c files it doesn't automatically color, but :ColorToggle does toggle it correctly. HTML files automatically color on opening.

Same with mplstyle. Also doesn't work at all without g:colorizer_auto_filetype (g:colorizer_auto_color doesn't work).

thanks, I'll have a closer look over the holidays.

Hm, I just checked and I cannot reproduce. Setting g:colorizer_auto_filetype will setup a filetype autocommand as can be seen here:

https://github.com/chrisbra/Colorizer/blob/879e6c69c0c02c4ef0f08b3955c60de16efd8fb8/plugin/ColorizerPlugin.vim#L82-L90

Can you check if this is there for you? Please show the output of :au FT_Colorizer_Plugin FileType and also :au FTColorizer

Oh it's me being stupid and the reason is Vim not knowing mplstyle filetype

[thecaralice]

C files work for me, but when current filetype is not in g:colorizer_auto_filetype color only appears after I change something

[chrisbra]

can you give an example please?

[thecaralice]

• g:colorizer_auto_color example

  " .vimrc or init.vim
  let g:colorizer_auto_color=1

• g:colorizer_auto_filetype example

  " .vimrc or init.vim
  let g:colorizer_auto_filetype='c'

File used in both examples:

# /tmp/col-test.py
awesome_color = "#c0ffee"

Now start vim and type the following:

:e /tmp/col-test.py
:%s/awesome/my_awesome/

In a somewhat related note, it doesn't work for the qf (quickfixlist) type either?

With these settings:

let g:colorizer_auto_color       = 1
let g:colorizer_auto_filetype    = 'qf'
let g:colorizer_disable_bufleave = 1

It starts colorizing only after I run :ColorHighlight manually in the qflist, by switching to another window it turns off (expected) and it turns back on when returning. But nothing unless I run it manually first.

Does that part of the documentation help here please? https://github.com/chrisbra/Colorizer/commit/e592848da3f58f426aed89aa525d46886f071085
