# vim-colorful-go

vim-colorful-go is an addendum to [vim-go](https://github.com/fatih/vim-go)'s

syntax highlighting. This plugin assumes you have

[vim-go](https://github.com/fatih/vim-go) installed and is untested outside that

assumption.

## Features

Mostly, this plugin highlights non-native types when appropriate. It assumes

formatting matches the output of `gofmt`.

vim-colorful-go also uses the same highlighting option flags as `vim-go`.

Some things that are now highlighted:

* types in `type (...)` blocks

* type declarations in structs

* types in function parameters

* types in function returns

* literal struct fields

* ..probably more I can't remember
