how to disable bold font in vim?

Question

i've removed all references to bold (gui=bold, cterm=bold, term=bold) in the color syntax file slate.vim but i still see some bolded text. for example in a python file, the keywords class, def, try, except, return, etc. are still in a bold blue font.

also how to disable bold in status messages, like "recording" or "Press ENTER or type command.."?

Answer 1

Hello, try also to remove the occurrences of standout.

You can find highlighting groups by doing the following:

:sp $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/hitest.vim | source %

You can find where colors and font options were defined by doing:

:verbose highlight ModeMsg

(replace ModeMsg by your highlight group)

Answer 2

Instead of removing =bold references you should replace them by

gui=NONE
cterm=NONE
term=NONE
