description

If you do log investigation it’s handy to differentiate identifiers with colors. When you close Vim and later open the log file again it’s fine to have preserved the colors. This plugin offers functionality to save syntax match rules to an auxiliary file placed beside of file with the original content. Then the syntax highlighting can be restored when the file is opened later by loading from the auxiliary file. Beside of having capability to restore defined syntax match rules when specific files is opened again the plugin can solve trouble of saving multiple color highlight matches. The Vim match command (:match Comment /pattern/) provides only one pattern at a time. When using match again the previously highlighted text is decolorized. Sure there are commands 2match and 3match but it could not be enough - e.g. if you want to add highlighting dynamically for different regexp patterns (e.g. some identifiers in a log file).
