# 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
