Verbatim is copied once for every variant about vim-colortemplate HOT 3 OPEN

Does it work for you if you move the verbatim block towards the top of the file, before the first Variant and Background directive, in what the help file calls the “global section” (see :help colortemplate-structure?

from vim-colortemplate.

You've put the block in the scope of Variant: gui 256 16: that is why it appears in every variant. Either put it at the top, as suggested above, or add Variant: gui before it to limit the scope to the GUI variant (whose statements are executed unconditionally). I agree that this is not particularly intuitive, though.

For Colortemplate v3 I plan to allow only one optional verbatim section that always appears at the beginning of a color scheme. That, combined with “discriminators”, which is a new feature, covers all the cases I can think of.

Unless there is a specific reason why you would want to execute arbitrary statements after the highlight groups have been defined.

Thank you, I will experiment with that and report back.
