The title basically explains the gist of it. I am having some issues with my syntax highlighting, and I understand it is possible to check the filetype I am in currently with :setlocal syntax?
and that I can check the specification of the highlighting with :syn list
, but I am looking to see what plugin or native Neovim functionality is currently in control of syntax highlighting.
None of the :syntax
subcommands works with :help :verbose-cmd
, which is a tool commonly used for debugging mappings, commands, etc. So, without :verbose
or a dedicated command, you are left with very fuzzy heuristics like:
$ vim foo.js
:filter syntax scriptnames
which shows what syntax scripts have been sourced in the current session:
