As I posted before, I was unable to get your fix to work. Here's what
I've got now, which seems to work across all of the systems on which
I've used it:
if &term == "screen"
if has("terminfo")
set t_Co=16
set t_AB=^[[%?%p1%{8}%<%t%p1%{40}%+%e%p1%{92}%+%;%dm
set t_AF=^[[%?%p1%{8}%<%t%p1%{30}%+%e%p1%{82}%+%;%dm
else
set t_Co=16
set t_Sf=^[[3%dm
set t_Sb=^[[4%dm
endif
else "cygwin, xterm, any others?
if has("terminfo")
set t_Co=8
set t_Sf=^[[3%p1%dm
set t_Sb=^[[4%p1%dm
else
set t_Co=8
set t_Sf=^[[3%dm
set t_Sb=^[[4%dm
endif
endif
(^[ up there is a literal escape ... I think I could replace those with
the text <ESC>)
The only difference I readily notice is that comments are bright cyan in
the 8-color variations and "muted" cyan in 16-color.
I don't know why I should be able to get 16 colors working in screen but
not in the terminal from which I ran screen, but screw it. This works
well enough. I haven't been able to test it while actually sitting at
the machine's terminal, but I'm betting (hoping) it will work.
As for your earlier questions, according to the vim documentation, t_AF
and t_AB are ANSI. t_sf and t_sb are, um, not. I'm not really sure
what all that means, but fwiw, there you go.
