F.A.Q

Q: Why color highlight is not shown on my vim?

A: For terminal vim, you have to enable 24-bit RGB color by set termguicolors and make sure your terminal support true colors. To make sure the highlight is not disabled, enable verbose output by "highlight.trace": "verbose" in configuration file and checkout the output by :CocCommand workspace.showOutput highlight.

Q: How to change highlight of the current symbol.

A: All you need is overwrite the highlight group, checkout :h coc-highlights
