Finally, I got 256-color support under GNU screen, including vim! I really don’t know how or why this was so difficult for me to get working, but it was a royal time sink. I read just about every thread everywhere about anything related to this topic.<\/p>\n
All I can say is: This worked for me.<\/p>\n
I’ve turned off comments on this post, because I don’t want to even begin to suggest that I will have any answers to any questions you may ask.<\/p>\n
\r\n# .bash_profile\r\n#\r\n# I recursively copied \/usr\/share\/lib\/terminfo on a modern\r\n# Linux box to $HOME\/.terminfo so that I could have modern\r\n# stuff with me wherever I go, like Solaris 10 which has\r\n# no modern 256 color crap. Make sure you have the screen-256color\r\n# terminfo stuff. Then...\r\nTERMINFO=$HOME\/.terminfo\r\n# xterm-256color should work below as well, but since I am\r\n# always connecting from PuTTY, I use this which is technically\r\n# more correct.\r\nTERM=screen-256color\r\n<\/pre>\n\r\n# .screenrc portion for GNU screen which MUST BE compiled with 256\r\n# color support.\r\n#\r\nterm \"screen-256color\"\r\n<\/pre>\n\r\n\" .vimrc portion\r\n\"\r\n\" \"People\" say this should never be required if your terminfo crap is\r\n\" correct, but it is required for me *when running vim under GNU screen*\r\nset t_Co=256\r\n\r\n\" Enable syntax highlighting\r\nsyntax enable\r\n\r\n\" Use whatever you like here\r\ncolorscheme lucius\r\n\r\n\" Dunno, this seems to be the only thing that leaves my terminal in a\r\n\" proper state once I exit vim in 256-color mode under GNU screen\r\n\" when using either TERM=putty-256color or TERM=xterm-256color.
