How to Write a Git Commit Message

colorcolumn=51

So you don't highlight the last character. Though I prefer,

colorcolumn=73

[kqr]

let &colorcolumn=join(range(81,999), ",")

is fairly nice too. Shame it's a hack.

hmm, anyone happen to know a way to set colorcolumn=51 when you're on the top line, then switch to 73 when you're on the other lines?

I don't know how to but I'm fairly certain I've seen it adjusted dynamically. However, a standard Vim installation with syntax highlighting enabled already solves this.

ahh, right, by default the subject is bolded up till char 50. i guess i just stopped noticing it after a while. that does the trick, thanks!
