Installed nvim-treesitter, but after installing printf, the C file is not highlighted

[IC0hO]

nvim-treesitter I installed the two parsers, C and printf. After printf is installed, the parameters should be highlighted, but this color scheme does not.

Here is another color scheme:

That's probably because these two tokens have the same color in Sonokai (yellow). I agree that we should optimize this in C/C++ files.

Could you please:

1. Move your cursor over the word "Enter" inside the call to printf(), then call the Neovim command :Inspect and post the output?
2. Then do the same with your cursor over "%d".

1. 2. The above are the outputs of 1 and 2 respectively

Also, is it better to use white for brackets, commas, and semicolons in C/C++ files? They were originally white, but after using treesitter they became gray.

This is now fixed on master. Thanks for reporting!

The Tree-sitter style (grey) is the intended one. Unfortunately, we cannot achieve the same result in the Vim syntax because the built-in c syntax defines cParen, cBracket and cBlock as regions, not as matches. Those regions are used to pinpoint imbalances between opening/blosing brackets, but cannot be used out of the box for highlighting punctuation.

For more context about why sainnhe made different design choices between the Vim and Tree-sitter syntaxes, please refer to https://github.com/sainnhe/everforest/issues/128.

Ok no problem, thank you for solving this issue.
