Similar to the red highlighting on read-only files, it would be nice if you could configure a different colour highlighting based of the file type & extension. If anyone has found a way to do this manually I'd love to hear how.

I have been using this for a while now:

" NERDTress File highlighting
function! NERDTreeHighlightFile(extension, fg, bg, guifg, guibg)
 exec 'autocmd filetype nerdtree highlight ' . a:extension .' ctermbg='. a:bg .' ctermfg='. a:fg .' guibg='. a:guibg .' guifg='. a:guifg
 exec 'autocmd filetype nerdtree syn match ' . a:extension .' #^\s\ .*'. a:extension .'$#'
endfunction

call NERDTreeHighlightFile('jade', 'green', 'none', 'green', '#151515')
call NERDTreeHighlightFile('ini', 'yellow', 'none', 'yellow', '#151515')
call NERDTreeHighlightFile('md', 'blue', 'none', '#3366FF', '#151515')
call NERDTreeHighlightFile('yml', 'yellow', 'none', 'yellow', '#151515')
call NERDTreeHighlightFile('config', 'yellow', 'none', 'yellow', '#151515')
call NERDTreeHighlightFile('conf', 'yellow', 'none', 'yellow', '#151515')
call NERDTreeHighlightFile('json', 'yellow', 'none', 'yellow', '#151515')
call NERDTreeHighlightFile('html', 'yellow', 'none', 'yellow', '#151515')
call NERDTreeHighlightFile('styl', 'cyan', 'none', 'cyan', '#151515')
call NERDTreeHighlightFile('css', 'cyan', 'none', 'cyan', '#151515')
call NERDTreeHighlightFile('coffee', 'Red', 'none', 'red', '#151515')
call NERDTreeHighlightFile('js', 'Red', 'none', '#ffa500', '#151515')
call NERDTreeHighlightFile('php', 'Magenta', 'none', '#ff00ff', '#151515')

Thanks, this looks like exactly what I needed. I should be putting this anywhere in ~/.vim/syntax/nerdtree.vim right?

@ryanoasis

Mine is just in my vimrc

Thanks again, this seems to be working. Are you using console vim or gvim? For some reason the colours aren't corresponding with what I am setting.

Did you make sure to include the function NERDTreeHighlightFile(extension, fg, bg, guifg, guibg) that ryanoasis posted as well?

@adrian-martinez-dev
Copy link

Yes, i did

@adrian-martinez-dev

Ok, i fixed it replacing filetype with FileType, and it's working now :)

This is pretty great, but is it possible to change the color for folders?

@ryanoasis your script works great to change the color of files, but for the case of executable files, the script does not change the color of those. Is there any way to get around that?

I made this if anyone cares: https://github.com/tiagofumo/vim-nerdtree-syntax-highlight

@tiagofumo is there anyway I can install that with Vundle?

@tiagofumo
Copy link

@marzzz21 I suppose, yeah. I never used vundle but what I made is like a common extension, so it should work. You will need vim-devicons and nerdfonts for the icons. Checkout the description on repo page.

Parsing LS_COLORS would be the dream but my vimscript is nowhere near that level
