colors in terminal?

[cj]

First off, thanks for this plugin! Question, is there something special I have to do to enable colors per file type?

[cj]

forgot to mention, I've included your version of preservim/nerdtree#201 (comment)

@cj can you try FileType instead of filetype?

see @nbicalcarata comment on preservim/nerdtree#433 (comment)

@ryanoasis still no luck changing it to FileType. I'm not getting any errors either...

Here's my vim config github.com/cj/vimrc

doing this seems to make it work:

That's strange but I guess you got it working. for now I will reference your fix in the FAQ and close this issue when I have pushed it up. Thanks!
