This SO post describes how to highlight all characters on a line in VIM past a given line number (80, in this case).
I'd like to have two sets of highlighted characters, columns 81-100 highlighted with one background color, and columns 101+ with another background color.
Here's what I've tried so far:
" Light highlight characters past column 80. Red highlight past 100.
highlight OverLength1 ctermbg=red ctermfg=white guibg=#5b4f62
match OverLength1 /\%81v.\+/
highlight OverLength2 ctermbg=red ctermfg=white guibg=#990500
match OverLength2 /\%101v.\+/
as well as this variation on the 3rd line:
match OverLength1 /\%81v.\+($|100v)/
Neither works. The best I can get is to match 101+ alone; it seems like the second match overwrites the first match.
I don't like the colorcolumn option, I don't want to highlight empty columns, just text in the ranges specified.
