How do I turn vi colors off? I was using vim-tiny on on Ubuntu 14.04. Installed vim-nox. Version is version 7.4.52. Once I installed that, I got all these syntax colors by default. I have my Terminal set to a black background with bright green text. Now when I use vi with the colors, some of the text is unreadable against the dark background. I would rather just turn the colors off. How do I do this?
How do I turn Vi colors off in Ubuntu Linux 14.04
syntax highlighting;colorscheme;linux;bash
You can use::set t_Co=0This will tell Vim that you're not using a colour terminal. The difference with using :syntax off is that this will still enable some syntax highlighting features with bold, underlined, and reverse video.
