Setup neovim dotfiles.

Setting up neovim with my dotfiles.

• For true colour support:

  • Removed the following from my .bashrc:

    export TERM="xterm-256color"
    

    This is not required as Windows Terminal already supports true colour by emulating the xterm-256color sequences.

  • Added the following in .tmux.conf:

    set-option -sa terminal-overrides ',xterm-256color:RGB'
    

    There was already the following line in there:

    set-option -g default-terminal "screen-256color"
    

    This tells tmux that the terminal outside it supports true colour. This is important as this sets the right term variable for programs running within tmux, notably our neovim instance.

  • Told neovim that true colour support is available:

    vim.opt.termguicolors = true
    

  • Killed the tmux server and restarted for the changes to take effect.
