syntax highlighting in vi

linux unix text-editor vi vim-syntax-highlighting

Real vi and its exact clones did not support syntax highlighting. That is the reason why your Google queries all ended at vim, which does support it.

Incidentally, I use vim over ssh all the time and the highlighting information does not impact the usability or screen update speed.

No, syntax highlighting is a vim extension.
