Hello,
How to add syntax highlighting in nano ?
I created file .nanorc and added there
include /usr/share/nano/java.nanorc
But it didn’t work.
Thanks.
In the file /etc/nanorc there is following line:
To include all existing syntax definitions, you can do:
include “/usr/share/nano/*.nanorc”
Here is the content of /usr/share/nano/:
debian@beaglebone:~$ ls /usr/share/nano/ -l

But there is no syntax coloring for any of languages.
Where is the problem ?
Thanks
BTW, the vim editor does not provide syntax highlighting either.
If you provide appropriate config, vim will give you syntax highlight.
I always add in my boards the following config in /etc/vim/vimrc.local:
let g:skip_defaults_vim = 1
syntax on
set background=dark
set modeline
set modelines=3
set mouse=

I edited /etc/vim/vimrc.
Here is what I get.
Where are colors in this so-called highlighting.
Regards,
Pavel.
Have you installed the full vim version ?
$ sudo apt install vim
By default, some Debian images only have installed the vim-tiny package, that does not have support to syntax highlight.
Other thing that may affect the presentation of color is the usage of a serial terminal.
If you can, login via SSH to test if, in this way, you get colors on your terminal.

Yes the absence of colors is only when using serial terminal.
With ssh it’s Ok, both in vim and nano.
Thanks !
I usually put the .vimrc under my user folder.
Ex:
touch ~/.vimrc
Then edit it there.
Cheers,
Jon
