Colors on my code

[Abdullah-Mahthel]

please tell me why there is no colors on my code like :

data type with unique color, variables ..etc

How can l change that ?
Is there a configuration?

[gabydd]

hard to tell exactly why, some suggestions:

• to know what to colour your code helix needs a file extension to know what language it is or you can use :set-language <lang> to manually set the buffers language
• you should check hx --health to make sure you have all the runtime files helix needs for highlighting, depending how you installed helix things can be different so if you give some more details about how you installed helix that could be helpful

How can l save language?
When l close and open helix again . it doesn't recognize cpp again :/
