Sync with vim/neo-vim
If you are using base16 colorschemes from
base16-vim plugin, you can use
the -V
argument to automatically generate ~/.vimrc_background
file when you
change alacritty colorscheme. You will need to source this file in your vimrc
to load the same colorscheme in vim.
Add this in your .vimrc
file:
if filereadable(expand("~/.vimrc_background"))
let base16colorspace=256 " Remove this line if not necessary
source ~/.vimrc_background
endif
When you change your alacritty colorscheme, you simply need to source
~/.vimrc_background
or your vimrc
.
If you are a neo-vim user, ~/.vimrc_background
will be automatically sourced.
