# bspwm vim mode indicator

Vim plugin to show what mode vim is in by changing bspwm's active border color.

![Preview](https://i.imgur.com/Mu0SbTf.gif)

## Installation

Add `Plugin 'Kody-Quintana/bspwm_border_color'` to `~/.vimrc`

and run `:PluginInstall` or appropriate equivalent for your plugin manager.

## Enabling FocusGained event

Regular vim in a terminal doesn't support the FocusGained event by default.

To enable it you will need a plugin.

I personally use [amerlyq/vim-focus-autocmd](https://github.com/amerlyq/vim-focus-autocmd).

## Defining custom colors

Custom colors can be used by defining

`g:bspwm_border_insert_color` and `g:bspwm_border_normal_color` to a hex color (with no leading #)

```vimscript

let g:bspwm_border_normal_color = "00FF00"

let g:bspwm_border_insert_color = "FF0000"

```

## Requirements

- chwb (from [wmutils](https://github.com/wmutils/core)) - used to set color of window border

- A terminal that sets the `$WINDOWID` environment variable
