How can I activate Vim color schemes in OS X's Terminal?

Question

I\'m working with the Vim 7.2 that comes with Mac OS 10.6.1 (Leopard), using the Mac\'s \"Terminal\" app. I\'d like to use a fancy color scheme. I did this...

Answer 1

You might want to consider using a version of Vim that is a native Mac app (that runs in a window).

MacVim has great color schemes and you can still launch it from Terminal like so:

$ mvim file.txt

That will open your file in a new Vim window.
