I have been running Kodi on my Raspberry Pi 2 for some time as my primary home media center.

I always forget how to do this and I need to write it down:
Turn on syntax highlighting with:
:syntax on
If highlighting looks to dark, then you are probably using dark background, so set it to achieve better readability:

syntax on set background=dark
To turn of syntax highlighting do:
:syntax off
To go back to light background do:
:set background=light
or delete the lines from ~/.vimrc file.

for file in *.nes ; do zip "$file.zip" "$file"; done
