vim-italics sets vim to use underlines for italics
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
To update (replacing the current version) run `webi vim-italics`.
|
|
|
|
### Files
|
|
|
|
These are the files / directories that are created and/or modified with this
|
|
install:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
~/.vimrc
|
|
~/.vim/plugins/italics.vim
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Cheat Sheet
|
|
|
|
`vim` uses background highlighting for italics by default.
|
|
|
|
Many Terminal color themes use the same color for background highlighting as for
|
|
the cursor, which makes tracking the cursor difficult.
|
|
|
|
This swaps to italics to use underlines instead, which works in all themes.
|
|
|
|
### How to install manually
|
|
|
|
Create the file `~/.vim/plugins/spell.vim`. Add the same contents as
|
|
<https://github.com/webinstall/webi-installers/blob/master/vim-italics/italics.vim>.
|
|
|
|
That will look something like this:
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
" use underlines for italics
|
|
" (keeps the cursor visible while moving over italic text in all themes)
|
|
highlight htmlItalic gui=italic ctermfg=214
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You'll then need to update `~/.vimrc` to source that plugin:
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
" Vim Italics: underlines for italics from webinstall.dev/vim-italics
|
|
source ~/.vim/plugins/italics.vim
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
If you still can't see your cursor on italics, or things otherwise look wrong,
|
|
try moving the `source ~/.vim/plugins/italics.vim` closer to the top of your
|
|
config - above other things that may also be modifying the italics behavior.
|
|
|
|
#### Example
|
|
|
|
`~/.vimrc`:
|
|
|
|
```diff
|
|
+ " Vim Italics: underlines for italics from webinstall.dev/vim-italics
|
|
+ source ~/.vim/plugins/italics.vim
|
|
|
|
" ALE: reasonable defaults from webinstall.dev/vim-ale
|
|
source ~/.vim/plugins/ale.vim
|
|
|
|
- " Vim Italics: underlines for italics from webinstall.dev/vim-italics
|
|
- source ~/.vim/plugins/italics.vim
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or, in some cases, moving it closer to the bottom may help.
