It requires a full\nplugin install, so ensure the `plugin/` dir is part of your runtime.\n\n```viml\nlet g:meh_pandoc_enabled = 1\n```\n\n## Some design choices\n\n- The background is not fully black, and Normal text is not fully white to be\n  easier on the eyes.\n- Comments are greyed-out and italicized\n- Returns are orange for easy scanning when you use early-return pattern\n- Booleans, `super`, `this`, and constants stand out\n- Strings are in blue since that is the color people most likely ignore\n- Text is slightly brown, and everything else is a contrasted\n\n## Implementation details\n\n- As best as possible, the base Vim highlight groups and colorscheme specific\n  groups are the only things that are actually assigned colors. Syntax\n  specific highlight groups are links to those colors.\n- The `hi` command is called directly instead of using Vim variables and\n  functions to call it dynamically. It makes things harder to manage, but it\n  loads much faster. I may consider statically compiling it in the future.\n- I customize colors for the plugins I use or used in the past only. Feel free\n  to fork if you want to add more.\n- Support for vim-pandoc is provided via an autoload function that is called\n  on demand by the provided plugin to properly override the built-in pandoc\n  colors.\n- Some other plugins are also customized, such as Neomake, showmarks, and\n  vim-signature, but I might not be using those plugins at the moment so\n  support may be limited.\n\n## License\n\nMIT\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdavidosomething%2Fvim-colors-meh","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdavidosomething%2Fvim-colors-meh","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdavidosomething%2Fvim-colors-meh/lists"}
