We’ve talked about VIM before as one of the most powerful text editors ever created. For your normal Mac user, the power in VIM is not needed. But for developers, VIM can send your productivity through the roof.
Recently I lost all of my VIM settings due to a malformed script. Little did I know it was a blessing in disguise. As I rebuilt my settings I discovered over 15 built in color schemes.
To access these color schemes, open VIM. Hit : (colon) to enter a command. Type “colorscheme” followed by a space. Now you can press the Tab key and cycle through every available scheme.
This is much easier than designing your own scheme, which we may cover in a later tip.
Highlighted below are some of the more appealing ones I’ve found:
