I have setup Vim to highlight trailing whitespace:
set listchars=eol:↵,nbsp:◦,tab:―→,trail:⮿,extends:⮚,precedes:⮘
set list " Show problematic characters.
" Also highlight all tabs and trailing whitespace characters.
highlight ExtraWhitespace ctermbg=red guibg=red
match ExtraWhitespace /s+$/
This works fine and sets a red highlighted background on trailing whitespace characters.
Is there a way to instead set the foreground color of the text rather than the background? I can't seem to get it to trigger using ctermfg and guifg.
