Source code files viewed using Quick Look on Snow Leopard had syntax highlighting. Unfortunately the syntax highlighting has disappeared on OS X Lion. Is there a way to get it back?

I don't think Snow Leopard did that by default, you most likely had a QuickLook plugin installed, such as qlcolorcode or colorqc2. You can simply install this again in Lion.

Can anybody with Snow Leopard confirm this? I honestly don't remember installing a Quick Look plugin to get syntax highlighting. – John Topley Aug 24 '11 at 20:30

2I can confirm that there is no syntax highlighting done on Obj-C or python code viewed via Quick Look on Snow Leopard. You must have had a plugin installed. – Ian C.♦ Aug 24 '11 at 21:04

Actually, Xcode 3.x included a Quicklook plugin for source codes. With the intruduction of Xcode 4.x, such plugin has disappeared.
I have personallly tried to use qlcolorcode and colorqc2 on Lion, but both are not stable/reliable enough (slow response, sometimes missing quicklook). An updated version of the plugins would be welcome.

The Xcode 3 plugin was found at /Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Library/QuickLook/SourceCode.qlgenerator Unfortunately I don't think this can be made to work now. :(

Guys you can do this procedure bellow:
To fix this, open a new Terminal window and enter these commands to open vim’s configuration file:
$ cd /usr/share/vim
$ sudo vim vimrc
Press the i key to switch vim to Insertion Mode, then enter these lines below the set backspace=2 line:
set ai " auto indenting
set history=100 " keep 100 lines of history
set ruler " show the cursor position
syntax on " syntax highlighting
set hlsearch " highlight the last searched term
filetype plugin on " use the file type plugins
" When editing a file, always jump to the last cursor position
autocmd BufReadPost *
\ if ! exists("g:leave_my_cursor_position_alone") |
\ if line("'\"") > 0 && line ("'\"") <= line("$") |
\ exe "normal g'\"" |
\ endif |
\ endif
Press the ⎋ esc key to take vim out of Insertion Mode, then press : (colon) followed by x to save the file and exit.
It worked for me thanks.
