## Terminal



For a complete experience, make your terminal use the same colorscheme as vim.

I use [alacritty](https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty)

Add this to `~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml`

```yml

# Colors

colors:

  # Default colors

  primary:

    background: "0x1E1E3F"

    foreground: "0xE1EFFF"

  # Colors the cursor will use if `custom_cursor_colors` is true

  cursor:

    text: "0x1E1E3F"

    cursor: "0xFAD000"

  # Normal colors

  normal:

    black: "0x000000"

    red: "0xEC3A37"

    green: "0x75e44c"

    yellow: "0xFAD000"

    blue: "0x6943FF"

    magenta: "0xFF2C70"

    cyan: "0x80FCFF"

    white: "0xFFFFFF"

  # Bright colors

  bright:

    black: "0x5C5C61"

    red: "0xEC3A37F5"

    green: "0x3AD900"

    yellow: "0xFAD000"

    blue: "0x6943FF"

    magenta: "0xFB94FF"

    cyan: "0x80FCFF"

    white: "0x2D2B55"

```

## Troubleshooting

### True color

Make sure you are using a terminal emulator that supports `truecolor`. Read more about this [here](https://gist.github.com/XVilka/8346728).

### Colours don't look right

If you are running `vim` within `tmux`, you may run into some `truecolor` issues.

To fix, add this to you `tmux.conf`

```tmux

set -g terminal-overrides ',xterm-256color:Tc'

set -g default-terminal "tmux-256color"

set -as terminal-overrides ',xterm*:sitm=\E[3m'

```

And in your `.bash_profile || .zshrc`

```bash

export TERM="xterm-256color"

```

Ensure you `tmux kill-server`, quit your emulator of choice and startup it all back up again. It should then look 👌.
