description
Commands:
  Syncolor
    creates syncolor.vim file
  ColorScheme bg name
    creates <name>.vim file with colorscheme header setting background='<bg>' [dark|light] and
    colors_name='<name>'
  IactHl
    creates Hilite.vim file

Files are created in g:HiliteFilesDir, default '~'

Utility to interactively create highlight commands file (syncolor.vim|<name>.vim|Hilite.vim) which can be copied to appropriate  runtimepath directory as for automatic execution at Vim startup.  Previous settings are saved in a file named 'yymmddhhmmssHilite.vim'.
Use: ?? for online key mapping reference.

The utility opens 3 windows, the top window displays the major highlight groups with their names highlighted according to the current settings.  The middle window lists the highlight commands currently in effect to produce the output shown in the top window.  The bottom window lists the RGB names available for the current Vim release.

Place the cursor on the line you wish to modify in the middle window.  Place the cursor on the RGB value you want in the bottom window.  Use the mapped key sequences to set the line.  The key sequences are:

fg   Set foreground to RGB value
bg  Set background to RGB value
no  Set attributes to 'NONE'
bo  Add 'bold' to attributes
it    Add 'italic' to attributes
re   Add 'reverse' to attributes
st   Add 'standout' to attributes
un  Add 'underline' to attributes
