description

This plugin allows you to insert and edit colors using a graphical color selection window. It makes #rrggbb hex color codes; as input it detects both #rrggbb hexcodes and X11 color names. The script supports three language locales: English, Spanish, Czech.

install details

requirements: The script requires Python version>=2.5 with PyGTK module and GTK to run. It works best with gVim (on xterm Vim there is a bug: the window does not close after the color is selected -- it is usable but awkward). how to install: Copy the file color-chooser.vim to your plugin directory ("~/.vim/plugin"). For the change to take effect, either restart Vim or source the script manually by the command :so ~/.vim/plugin/color-chooser.vim If you want to install the script for all users, copy it to the main plugin directory of Vim - usually "/usr/share/vim/vimcurrent/plugin". After installation, the color selection window is launched by :call ColorChooser() Map it to a key, such as <F2>, this way: :map <F2> :call ColorChooser()<enter> The map command is commented in the script file, you can simply uncomment it. Several options can be set by editing the "script configuration" section in the file -- they are described there.
