Modifying the Color CVIM Menus

5 – 12

Note: If you modify the text of a menu item which has multiple lines

(such as the runtime display options menu available during run mode),
use the

EOL

character to create enough lines to account for all the

lines in the menu item, in order to have the background color filled in
for all lines (even if some lines have no text).

For example, the

All Tools

menu item on the runtime menu contains

two lines. Within the

All Tools

dictionary entry, there is an

EOL

(

↵ )

character after the word

All

which creates another line within the

dictionary entry. The diagram below shows the effect that removing
the

EOL

character would have on the displayed menu item:
