We're looking for talented developers to help us create awesome work. We enjoy compliments, but you can totally shout at us for doing it wrong on our Twitter account □ Is there a way to get a list of running Vim commands, and passing a command to them? I don’t know. A running Vim process won’t re-evaluate their colorscheme when I change the system setting from elsewhere. I usually work using a dozen Tmux sessions for different projects, containing their own Vim processes. One improvement that I’m still thinking about, is to change the theme in running Vim sessions. DuckDuckGo, Twitter, and this blog will fall in line neatly. Since a lot of my tools these days live in the browser, and websites can actually implement CSS based on the system setting, you might get lucky. You can import as many as you like, but you don’t need to import all of them. This really helps, so make sure to use that option. Choose the theme that you would like to import. Slack and Brave Browser for instance both respect this system setting. Luckily a lot of software nowadays contains an option for switching theme automatically when the OS preference changes. One point of all this is to stop the jarring effect of switching to a white screen after working in a dark terminal for a while. You can now call :Dark and :Light from within Vim to switch theme, and actually have MacOS and Tmux follow right along. In my nf file I include the dark theme by default:Ĭommand! Dark call Dark () command! Light call Light () You can find the files in my dotfiles repository. Just make sure your colors match the Vim theme. However, there are not a lot of interface elements in Tmux, so you can quickly get a nice result without too much configuration. Normally I would not recommend customly theming anything unless you really like minutiae. In Tmux I’m using two custom themes, a dark one and a light one. It actually doesn’t matter that much since I’m running Tmux, which will have its own color handling and is overlaid on your terminal. I use iTerm2 and I installed the official Solarized dark iTerm2 theme. I’m using the well-known Solarized theme, which is especially great in this case because it has a light and dark variant. This article will describe how to synchronize your theme across MacOS, Tmux and Vim. I threw some code at this problem and now I can quickly switch between light and dark mode from the command line. □ Spring is coming around however, and that means, somewhere between 3 and 4 o’clock in the afternoon, the sun is starting to produce a nasty glare on my monitor making dark mode an unacceptable choice. Like most developers, I prefer dark mode in my terminal and code editor.
